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

( 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

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. Nor
is there any ditch that is bridged by the
