TOMAK FAL We have cut th< Q. Ul Sf ar GET WITH 1 ?L Mr. Gilmore's Rejoinder. Split,. 9. 10lhV Xqjtou Union Times:? If it win* not that Hey Denver in his last article attempted to make me a liar I would have nothing more to say and would not at the beginning if he had said "that it is possible to geL-'tf*/ .& ' want \ men who ( .v.iw.rA overseeing for the ' money there is in th?? job, and like a nig- ' ger do as little for that money as possi- < Die and get full pay for it." 1 Now he siys he attacks no ruan's per- i aonnl character. If he has not attacked < the road overseer's honesty ia his section ( then what does lie mean by making such j accusations as lie does alouL road over- j seers, unless lie knows of some one that i would like to lie a road overseer that J would act dishonestly to get some of the county's money. Hecla'ms that he has acted no worse (or words to that effect) than a big buxom lobust negro who is able to perform hard lalror, that works ' no road. Now, can it be that along this ' line of thought, that lie knows of some one t hat wants a job of overseeing, that would lie willing to act as unscrupulously as a dishonest negro. lie crawfishes beautifully until he gets down to me,upon whom he emits such a volume of spleen as his nature is capable of. He eays, "not the faintest idea that me and my road was in existence," yet he remembers a conversation with me very well. He remembers more than I rememlier telling him, because if I told him of success in truck fanning I do not rememlier it, for up to that time I had planted only watermelons and canta- j loupes for sale, had planted no otner' a 1. e 1 1 ,i? I IMJUtt I(|| r<UC irliiU llrt^r i#uiy owm oiiwh truck as I had a surplus of. We did discuss truck farmint? a* being the iniKst remuneialive kind of farming as the mills built and buildint? would afford good markets for such produce. He says I want to lie a newspaper prize fighter. Does he judge uie by himself. This is false as I have never been ?h aggre.?sor in a newspafier controversy, and have only replied to unjust attacks on my personal character. I think Hey Denver is the champion at newspaper pii/.e lighting as thai is all the kind of lighting that I have ever known him to indulge in, although he has had several chances of other kinds. He must lie a great believer in the old saying that "the pen is mightier than the sword." He charges things that are absolutely fulse to his own knowledge. "That water ran down the road for nearly u mile" is false us water was emptied out of road less than 250 yards from where he dammed water in road. I emptied the dammed up water in road at what I considered the best place tuking the county and myself into consideration, and he could have kept uli of it ofT his crop at this point j by cutting u small hillside ditch 2.~> | feet. long. His tale about outletgetting clogged up near there is too thin as a natural outlet only 20 yards,he claims, would be easier to open than to haul E ROOM F LST e prices oL=^ immer Clothin lirts, Hats, Sh id Summer Dr i? From 2 IAT YOU V ESE PRIC // // * ( several large poles to make a dam, also that there was necessity for side ditches at this point is false as the road along there is in a flat. He attempts to irjakr- about his open;- ? me a l'ar road who v -.A'f ditch across the yt ?v, vn^ie is entitled to it himself, fie aid pull logs, brush and sand out if the ditch or else he told a false iiood two years ago, as 1 happened ilong the road the same morning the liteh was opened up and met him ivithin twenty steps of the ditch and nsked him if he knew who opened up liteh, and he told me yes, that he opened it up, whereupon I asked him if he was going to bridge it and he told mo yes, and ho never did. This happened about the 10th of August two years ago. He tells the truth when he says the the chain gang did do some good work on the road that he says he didn't have the faintest idea was in existence, and is standing well. Right here I wish to say that it took the chain gang several days to work that road a distance of WX) yards as they had to pick in rotten rock the above distance. For me to have worked this one place would have taken more than that roads entire allotment. lie says me closing ditch across road rendered unfit for cultivation nearly ten acres of land, he knows this to bo absolutely false too, as he had the ditch through an uncleared swamp with no crop about it whatever, He speaks of another mud hole there. There is a small one during wet weather and he is the one that dammed it up and he knows it, yet it appears that he wants the public to believe me to be the one that did it. I did not open the road at that point as it wo^ld have damaged his crop and a good piece of land too, and it was of no serious damage to the road. He also, it appears, tries to make the public believe that J am the beneficiary of a ditch that the county bridges or else that I bridged one for someone's benefit, such is not.the cuse and I am at a loss to know on whoso road or where such a bridged ditch exists. It is true that my road has nob been worked since spring and right now it will take very little work to make it an ideal road as he knows if he has traveled it lately. A gentleman who was in race f-?r Supervisor (other than Mr. lletenbaugh) told moihat the road from Mr. G. H. .Jeter's to where I reside was one of the best roads that he had seen in thecountv. He told this unsolicited and I believe withoirt knowledge that I was overseeing said road. Iley Denver owns up very meekly where he knows proof is plentiful, but when it comes down to the d>tch he attempts to make rne out a liar, wheu he knows that I almost caught him iu the act (of opening up ditch) with mud on ^wu+ i OR OUR OCK.

" l?., i response to mv "'"p aitch a.id 111 . qopppH Question if lie knew wlio , /SLStWTle ditch, said yea, he did. I can prove that the ditch was opened and can prove that he made other false assertions, and that he made them knowingly. I challenge him to prove that I have made a single misstatement. In conclusion I want to say that I have always acted a gentleman by him, have never said as much behind his back as I have to h is face. I'lease publish atlidavit of Mr. Sims McDaniel as it touches on the point in the controversy wherein Hoy Denver slanders me by saying that I knowingly misstated a fact. August 30th, 1902. Personally appeared before me Sims McDaniel, who being duly sworn says: That two years ago he saw the bridge that E. W.JJeter (under the nomdeplume of Hey Denver) built over ditoh that be (Hey Denver) cut across road that is I overseen by S. M. Gil more, that said bridge was built of poles so small that they would spring enough to let animals legs pass through, which made it very * dangerous to cross. 1 i wo years ago s. m. unmore corn me that he had Oiled ditch that Hey Deover cut to make traveling safe, and a few days later told me that Hey Denver had opened up the ditch that 8. M. Gilmore ' had Oiled up across road that said 8 M. ' Gilmore was overseeing That the statement that Hey Denver makes in the Union Times Aug. 29th, "That water ran down the road for nearly a mile a big volume, passing two big hollows it could ba turned in, but it came on to me and ridging sand along the road it p issed a natural outlet, a hollow with a gully in it etc., etc.." is absolutely false, as water was turned out of road about two hundred yards ab ?ve where he dammed up water in road, that to be precise it was between 2u0 aud :MM) yards. His (Hey Denver's) statement that by 8. M. Gilmore tilling up ditch "rendered unfit for cultivation nearly ten acres of land"i? also absolutely false as S Vf . Gilmore did not fill the ditch until Aug and there was not at any time duriug that year any cultivated, and that was being benefitted by the ditch," as the ditch was running through an uncleared swamp. That there is no ditch across any road that is bridged by the county that is no lienefit to roads, that 8. M. Gilmore is not in the least benefitted thereby.
