Speaking at Greer's school-house.

EDITOR BRooKIIA VEN LEDGER
In the last issue OF your paper, | noticed
an article from the mighty pen OF that phil
osopher F. It. Milan, Esq giving an ac-
count OF the speaking at Greer'o school
house. As narrator OF FACTS, he deals
too much in fiction to b. regarded as re-
liable correspondent. Tie captains &C
cunt was one-sided and biased. / asserted
that when MIR. Milan states that "Hodg-
es is as competent as any farmer in the
county," that he is entirely mistaken. On
the spur of the moment mentioned g. W.
Farmer, Or. Cowart, l.. c. Maxwell, nr.
Applewhite, Dr.. Connely aud Frank Col
Inns as men that were well educated and
told the captain that on mature reelection,
could mention them by the dozen. Yet
the dear captain, with a big "George WASH
ington Hatchet' under each arm, has the
audacity to assert that could only men
ton two names, DIR. Applewhite and IL an
named Farmer" The captain wraps up
his statements something like sugar-coated
pills, so that they may go down easy. The
dear old man, is again incorrect in
stating that lie asked me anything about
the Senator'S He started to ask me about
the Representatives, when | told him
that before answering any Of his questions,
l would like to know from him as agent
for Mr. Hodges, whether at public cleo
tons, the votes OF factions should predomi-
nat. by internal suggestions orthe bias Of
Jurisprudence The question is purely a
nonsensical string OF words I kind
hearted old man was SO completely over
whelmed by its polictical Importance, and
after gasping for breath aud great deal
of tanning with his hat, admitted she was
not smart enough in politics to answer the
question" The old gentleman in his blind
enthusiasm, asserted that prominent law
yer in Bsookhaven had .)lJ him, that the
objection he had to Hodges was that he
Hodges was i'll favor Of Lamar, and
that if he would change his views in regard
10 thar Senator that he (the lawyer would
be for Hodges. Thinking the statement
incorrect, asked the captain to mention
that lawyers name He replied that he
would tell NE some time" | insisted on
him telling our little audience then and
there. He has not told them yet, which
convinced me that he was somewhat
wrong. The captains whole speech was
arambling condemnation of colleges, doc
tors, lawyers and merchants; although
when he denounced the lawyers and mer-
chants he would except myself, and state
that | was different from the balance, and
what high regard he had for my father
and myself. When | concluded speaking,
the captain asked, which way was going?
] told him 81 was going to the Legislature"
He did not think SO, and had big confidence
in Mr.. Hodges, and consulted with one OF
our little audience about it and received
the soothing reply of 81 don't think Hodg-
es will get two hundred votes in the county"
The captain in future should not give a
one-sided account OF our speakings; nor
should he publish anything of the kind
without my approval. But the captain
don't seem to be after Esprit of fairness.
Very truly yours,
