An Answer from SEWER County.

MIR. EDITOR: [ see in the last cambridge
Waterman an account of a meeting held
there in opposition to the Sevierville meet
ing ON the subject of cleaning out the
French Broad River also a little editorial
saying 1.-The citizens of Sevierville met in
convention last week and asked Congress to
throw away 81, 600 and give them S;35, 900"
Now, am sorry the editor so far forgot
himself as to write that, and | must think
he is sorry now himself He knows that is
not true, if he knows anything, [ must
believe he was led to write that after reading
the preamble and resolutions of that Dand-
ridge meeting on the night of the 7th inst
The citizens Of Sewer county (not SEWER
ville) in that meeting simply asked Congress
to have the work of cleaning out French
Broad River to commence at the mouth and
work up stream, SO that it would be of some
service to the whole country. What benefit
could it be to the county to spend
the money appropriated between Dand-
ridge and Leadville? If Congress
made the appropriation to be spent there,
then I have no more to say. But Congress
was not quite that silly And let me just
give NY lIlelIlS Ill DttLItlIllle Iltlic tlufICo
The more publicity they give this matter the
worse for French Broad River If Congress
finds out that the money is being spent
away up there, instead of beginning at the
head of navigation, we will not get another
dollar. Just imagine how embarrassing it
would be to our Congressman to be called
into the committee room by the committee
and asked if it is true that they commenced
work away up at Leadyille instead of at the
mouth To my mind it is a misappropria-
ton of the money
Now, gentlemen of cambridge, go slow,
and don't accuse US of thing we are not
guilty of. You can't find man outside of
Jefferson county that will approve your
course, from the President and Congress
down. I have often heard the expression,
''the Bible is true" but that will have to
be qualified in the future in this county.

detrimental to the citizens of cambridge and

and,
WHEREAS, 81, 900 has already been ex.
pended on the improvement of said river
from cambridge to Leadvale, which, if the
programme be changed, will unayoidably be
lost and benefit no one-whereas if the labor
is proceeded with down the river as COM
menced, said river will soon be opened, and
the citizens on both sides of the river, from
Knoxville to Leadvale, will soon be receiv-
ing alike the many advantages of its naviga-
BILE waters now therefore, be it
Resolved, That we, the citizens of Dand-
