ton. You say that he had got word
that his wife was sick and wanted
him, but that he abandoned his in
tention of going to her because of the
jeers of few of Giless friends.
Don't you realize that, according to
weakling?
Now, let us see the other seven
statements that were contained in
my TRADE.
CD Edwards was accused of hav-
ing written to the Census Super
visor, Frank x. Douglas, asking him
to appoint, as Enumeration, F. r.
Abner, of Waynesboro, a negro whom
Edwards recommended as "a very
fine man and well fitted for the posi-
ton" Henry Swain makes no COM
ment upon this at all.
CD Edwards was accused of hav-
Y ing prevailed upon the Cashier of
country bank to lend him $2,5O0:0O,
in violation of the rules of the bank,
and to the ruin of the Cashier. Henry
Swain makes no reference to this
little matter.
CD Edwards was alleged to have
told his little crowd at Stillmore that
I tried to sell out the Farmers Union
to Dan Sully. Henry Swain ignores
this subject also
(4.) Edwards was accused of hay
ing hired Claude Bennett to write
speech for him and having paid him
forty dollars for it. This speech was
never delivered in Congress, but was
mailed out as though it had been. 1t
was handled through the Postoffice
Department at the expense of the
Government. This was in violation
of law, and Edwards could be pun
ished for it on the criminal side of the
Federal Courts. Edwards not only
violated the law, and made himself
a criminal by doing this, but prac-
ticed a deliberate and gross fraud
upon his constituents. Henry Swain
has no word of indignation in re-
gard to this, but belabors me
in regard to trivial incident at Still
more.
CD Henry Swain has nothing to
say about the purchase of Henry
Swain for $500. Yet that formed a
very distinct part of my trade"
The criminal courts, like the doors
of Heaven and He'll, are open day and
night; and if l have Hbeled j. r.
The Jeffersonian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1907-1917, 1910-07-28

Miller and Charles Edwards, they
should prosecute me at once.
CO. Edwards was accused of sub
sidizing such editors as Meacham
and Atkinson. Henry Swain, how
ever, doesn't attach enough impor-
lance to this form of bribery to pay
any attention to it. I am reliably
informed that he offered one editor
a hundred dollars, which was re-
fused, and he then offered to make
the editors wife a present of the
money. After she, also, declined to
take the bride, Edwards subscribed
to the paper for one hundred years,
and paid in advance one hundred dol
lars.
Now, what do you think of that,
Mr.. Henry Swain?
It's strange thing to me that
Democratic Congressman, who sold
out to the Republicans on the 18th
of March, 1909, should have any re-
spectacle following anywhere in
Georgia.
1t is also a strange thing to me
that any sensible man should doubt
his guilt when he refuses to swear
to his innocence. If he will make
the affidavit which I have challenged
him to make, my witness as to that
armful and lapful of calico will be
duly produced in court.
In the meantime, will somebody
kindly inform me whether the Bank
of Graymont is a National Bank? If
it is, you may bet your life that Ed
wards has got a lot of public money
in it's private business.
After Henry Swain shall have re-
covered his equanimity, l hope he'll
drop me another line or two. He
will greatly oblige me, however, by
dropping the % out of the name of
my bewildering postofice. If he will
just spell it Thomson, all Of us will
be deeply grateful, for the simple
reason that the spelling of the name
of our town is the one thing upon
which all of us Thomsonians heartily
harmonic. T. E. w.

about Mr.. Edwards on front page. In
regards to question number one with
reference to his Stillmore speech, |
want to tell you that you are badly
mistaken. / want to say in the be-
ginning, before | proceed to give you
the facts in this case, that l have
been Giles man heretofore, but
your TRADE and abuse of Mr.. Ed
wards has almost turned me from
him. I thought you were combining
yourself to the truth about your
charges against Mr.. Edwards and |
had thought you were actuated by
patriotism, but when | find one false
hood it makes me question all your
other charges. 1t was my pleasure
to be at Stillmore when Mr.. Edwards
spoke there, and I think [ have a
right to know all the circumstances.
1t is a fact that he had word from
his wife that she was sick, and it is a
fact that he determined to go to her.
| was at the depot with him waiting
for the same train, but before we
even knew that the train would not
run that evening, there came two of
his friends and told him that few Of
Gle friends were telling it on the
streets that he was running Off be-
cause he was afraid of the situation,
and he willingly and fearlessly went
back to the auditorium and made his
speech. | heard that speech myself
and am prepared to say that. he made
no TRADE upon Watson or anybody
else, but just simply spoke the truth.
| suspect that if all your charges are
as basely false against Mr.. Edwards
as this one is (and [ am persuaded
now that they are), he ought to have
scorched you from the top Of your
red head to the sOles of your feet.
You will never be fair in any position
you take as long as you get your in
formation from the source you do.
Now, | am making this statement for
the sake of truth and fairness, and if
you want to be fair about this mat
ter | ask that you publish this letter
on the front page of your paper right
in the same place that you made the
charge. If you show me that you
want to be fair and want, above all
things, the truth, then I shall not
lose all the confidence l. once had in
you. If you got your information
from the same source about that
calico incident as you Gid in this
case I am sure it is false also, and
would not believe it at ALL
Yours very truly,
GraymOnt Ga. HENRY SWAIN.
P. S.-Please return this letter if
you do not want to publish it. H. S.
Answer.
Mr.. Henry Swain evidently thought
that would be afraid to publish his
letter. On the contrary, it gives me
pleasure to do so. A careful perusal
of it will convince any one that it is
just another Edwards trick.
You will remember that he endea-
vored to entrap me, about three
months ago, by having one of his
hirelings send to me what purported
to be a certificate from the Clerk of
the Superior Court. This document
was fa1se-dated, by ten years. The
letter which accompanied it was
signed "Old Pop" The effort was
to convince me that Enoch Giles had
been convicted, in the Superior
Court, of an act of immortality after
he had become a married man.
| knew at once that if any old
friend of mine had enclosed that

PAGE FOURTEEN THE. u JEFF
Here's a Good Deal More
About Calico Charlie

uCCIo Lr1CK was an utter failure. IL
afterward transpired that the act of
immortality for which Enoch Giles
Giles was slightly punished in the
Superior Court happened twenty
three years ago, when he was sim
gle man, and quite young.
Now, let us come to Mr.. Henry
Swain. Is it true that he has, here
tofore, been Giles man? Is it true
that the statement in regard to the
telegram was basely false? Mr..
Henry Swain does not say that Ed
wards received any telegram from
his wife. He does not deny that Ed
wards claimed to have received such
telegram. Henry Swain lodges
the whole issue by saying that it is a
fact that he had word from his wife
that she was sick. How did he get
the word, Henry? Did it come by
telegraph, telephone, or telepathy?
Really, Henry, we must ask you to
be more specific, hereafter, when you
come rushing into the public eye.
My information came to me from a
source which I believe to be trust
worthy, and no one else has called
me down about it. There are lots of
good people at Stillmore, and some
of my friends there should have put
me right if they knew that I was
wrong. Everybody knows how de-
lighted I am to be set straight when
somebody has led me into error. But,
dear me! It is seldom that / have
anybody to jolt me about and knock
me around as Henry Swain does. Hts
letter starts off like a mild May morn
ing, and winds up like July storm!
See how frequently he uses the word
''tirade" Henry should vary his Ian
guage. To use the same word so
often is in bad taste. Henry should
ask Edwards to supply him with a
book of synonyms.
Henry says that because he knows
my statement about the StillmOre in
cident to be basely false, he is con-
WINGED that l have been telling lies on
the little calico man all along,-or
words to that effect 1t is a great
pity that I should do Enoch Giles so
much harm; but / can't understand
why Edwards and his friends should
be so angry about it. If my ''tirades"
are doing Edwards so much good,
why is it that he and his friends do
not send me some kind words Of en-
enlargement? Everybody knows how
ravenously fond I am of commenda-
ton. Even Henry Swain ought to
know that!
But suppose my correspondent did
make a mistake in writing me about
the StillmOre incid ent-what does it
amount to? And if my friend, Henry
Swain, who once had confidence in
me, was actCated by the purity of
motive which he processes, why did
he not enclose statement from the
telegraph operator at Stillmore? How
can he ask me to accept his unsup-
ported word in preference to the
nositiVo statement of nv StiIlmOre

PROBLEMS MANY YEARS OLD
Children of Today Puzzle over Them
Just as They Did Thousand
Years Ago.

When King Alfred the Great was
reigning over England. a thousand
years ago, school children pondered
over problems in arithmetic much as
our boys and girls do now.
Here are two taken word for word
from lesson book of that day:
The swallow once invited the snail
TO dinner. He lived just one league
(three English miles, from the spot,
and the snail travelled at the rate of
only one inch day. How long would
it be before he dined?"

day, my son. he said May you live
as long as you have lived. and as
much more, and thrice as much as all
this; and If God gives you one year
In addition to the others, you will be

A Shippinu Error.

The young duchess of Westminster,
wife of the richest peer in England,
recently gave birth to her third child,
a daughter. Thus there Is no heir to
the immense Grosvenor fortune, Earl

having died at the age of four.

story is being told in Newport about
Lady Ursula Grosvenor, the eight
year-old daughter of the young Ouch

A friend. the story goes, called at

tered.
"Oh, good afternoon" she said,
gravely. Mamma can't see any one
