The Anderson intelligencer. [volume] (Anderson Court House, S.C.) 1860-1914, 1896-04-29
Mr. Sherard Again Replies.

EDITORS IETELLIGENCER: Again Mr..
FAINT gives vent TO his pept up feelings.
and begins by saving that be purposes to
handle me in q fail and dispassionste
manner, yet be launches forth with q TRADE
OF abuse and insult and presents his senti
meuts in such language as only the blindest
frenzy of rage could suggest to tie most
presumptuous of fools. However, 1t is
only what could be expected from such q
person.
I have no apologies to make and nothing
to retract. In regard to the charges in my
previous articles I say they are absolutely
trus. and again I reiterate them. With
unhinching courage I shall tenaciously
s6here to what / have written and will
defend it whenever attacked. The Chief
Spy's charges against me are utterly false
and without foundation. Where is his
proof? he has none, bat being stepped
in his p~ertinacity of malice and hatred
resorts TO cowsrdly falsehoods to crafty q
spirit of revenge which is so characteristic
of persons who abhor the truth. But as ne
is corrupt how can his statements be. other
than corruptipg? He also claims that /
think the public will accept anything that
I say without any "corroboratipg facts"
and says that I "am sadly. mistaken !"
but he assumes that what he lets fall from
his lips will be received as the truth, the
whole truth, and nothing but the truth
The inflated conceit of bis own merit is
absolutely unparalleled! IF the public will
not receive anything that l say without
"c%orroborating facts" why Is 1t that the
"good, truthful, heightened" citizens of
the Corner Township believe every word
that 7 have written? Why is It that some
OF the bet men in this township have per.
sonslly confirmed my charges? Why is
it that some Of the best citizens Of Ander
son County have accepted what I have said
without questioning its truthfulness II
what I say is false, why do the leading
citizens of this township not deny it and
show that I have misrepresepted the state
of affairs that exist here? There is not a
respectable person in Corner Township
who will condemn and deny nv charges.
My statements concerning the liquor bust
ness here are true and will be verified
when responsible persons take the matter
into their hands. AS to the charges against
the Chief Spy I need only say that they
are aelf evident. I would not insult the
people Of Anderson County by telling
them what they already know.
In regard TO the insinuation that some
one Is dung my corresponding desire to
simply say that it is a lie. I do my own
writing, and everything that appears over
my name is my own production. Because
be had to get persons to write each of bis
grossly indelicate and disgusting articles,
the spy must not conclude that all persons
are prlsilian'mous idiots like himself. He
states that my charges are contrsdicted by
my own words. This is another false
accusation, but the ignorant spy knew no
better. AS he is endowed with little or no
intelligence it naturally follows that his
ability for compromising what others
write is proportionally small.
In conclusion I desire to reafirm every
thing that I have written and will stand to
it regardless of what the insolent spy may
say. Hereafter I shall not condescend to
observe anything that he might say I
cannot further compromise myself by re
garding O man who is baneath my notice.
A. BEATTY SHERARD.
