JOHN
y
That His Circulars and Accusation,
( Made Against J. S. Janies
Were False and Untrue.
L
On March 28th, October 20th,
21st and 25th, 1902 ancUbn other
» dates John R. BrantMy issued,
i had printed and
- [liver the country certaipcirculars
t of accusation of the ni|st serious
i character against J. S.[ James as
an individual and
J The immediate cause of this
r was a suit which Mrs. Puke em
i ployed James to bringpn the su
t perior court of Dougas county
i against Brantley, whfch suit is
- well known to all the people in
i Douglas county. It tssulted in
; Brantley turning- th property
over to Mrs. Duke and her chil
r dren who have posseted it ever
since*
For the libelio|s matters
James indicted Bradley for li
bel in Douglas supeyor court and
[ these indictments, have been
i pending ever sinceAHe forfeited
; his bond one time. •
On the 2nd day <f December,
1905, Brantley canp into court
and signed a written statement
retracting all he hil said against
James in these
cular® €4e,-anor<ffinitted that his
charges were false and untrue.
After stating the number of
circulars he had issued he said;
“The object and purpose of
this writing is to withdraw and
retract any and all charges
against J. S. James of any kind
or character made by me against
J. S. James, directly or indirect
ly in either any or all the above
named papers, letters, cirulars,
or statements, or in any other
writings by me against James as
a lawyer, citizen., or his repect
able standing as a man, and 1
now admit that such statements,
charges and accusation were
false and untrue. When these
things were written and printed,
it was 1 was pad, and not

Brantley prossed
It is well euufigWor the writer
to remind the people in
urged Mr.
Brantley to write the falsehoods
against the writer. That all
tl.fy lacked facing the peniten
tiary is because they were caut
ious enough not to put their slan
der in writing. They can now
look on their victim, Mr. Brant
ley, and see where he would have
gone had it not been for the mercy
of the writer of this article, and
we wish to say that we think a
great deal more of a man who
will come out and above board
and say publicly what he believes
than we do of the foul mouthed
sneaking traducer of other peo
ples good name, who go around
in secret, not having the moral
courage or manhood to make his
slanderous charges where they
can be dealt with. Mark this

will yet come to them.

fulfills every wish in curing rheumatism,

It corrects inability to hold water

times during the night. The mild and

is soon realized. It stands the highest

It is rumored that Judge Bart-

ceed himself and Hon. Price Ed-

that Hon - K. Field-
for re-election for
solicitor general and that Hon.
A. J. Camp, of Dallas, will con
test for this office.
The readers of the papers in
this circuit will have to rely on
rumor to find out whether either
of these gentlemen will be can
didates. It has been the custom
when persons are seeking the
suffrage of the people to at least
make some kind of an announce
ment. It may be that they are
so bashful they don’t want to
speak out. No doubt if either
of them were to announce the
papers of this circuit would be
tempted to give them a cromo.
