The Georgia Enterprise August 15, 1889
     Mr. Pat Calhoun, of Atlanta, Ga., and Mr. T. D. Williamson, of The 
Chattanooga, Rome and Columbus railroad, fought a dual Saturday evening, just 
two hundred yards off the Georgia line, in Alabama, on the Rome and Decatur 
railroad. Mr. Williamson fired five shots; Mr. Calhoun one. Neither of the men 
received a scratch. At this point the controversy was satisfactorily resolved. 
The cause of the meeting was that Mr. Williamson had denounced certain 
statements made by Mr. Calhoun before a meeting of the railroad committee as 
unqualifiedly false. Owing to the prominence of the principals, the affair has 
caused many comments and wide spread attention.
