TO THE PUBLIC.
THE subscribers had the misfor
tune of being swindled out of a
quantity ot Cotton some tune ago
at a store in the City of Charleston,
which was made public in South
Carolina and Georgia, bv adver
tisements m different Newspapers.
They have had the greater misfor
tune, in their anxiety and zeal, to
discover the swindler unjustly, and
lashlv to form a suspicion that Dr.
George A. Brown of Wrightsb >-
rough, in Columbia county ami
State of Georgia, was the person
"ho committed the fraud ; and at
a religious congregation of citizens,
at the house of William Halbert
Eso. in Pendleton district South
Carolina, publicly char bed him
with the act.
Dr. Brown, Mke tho man of hon
or and integrity, has futlv convin
ced ns of our great mi.take and
j and in consider of our being
poor men, that we had been actua
ted by mistaken, an 1 not mulevo
lent motives, has charitably and
generously forgiven us. While we
icknowlcdge mat Dr. Brown has
at in his powtr to ruin every indi
vidual ol iik, and distress our fauii,
lies. We voluntarily tome forward
and do solemnly declare in open
court, at Pendleton Court House,
and to all the world, our mistaken
and erroneous conduct towards the
said Donor George A. Brown—
we testify hi* innocence—we thank
him lor Ins honorable and gentle
manly conduct ; and we declare
our regret and sorrow for ihe inju
ries his feelings may have susuun
ed. We are satisfied that Doctor
George A. Brown is a man of the
first respectability, of an excellent
character, aud that his conduct in
life, from childhood, has been irie
proachable. We can neither say
or do too much to redress the h cl
ings of Dr. Brown, or to vindicate
Ins name & character.—We never
will It rget his honor and generosi
ty in forgiving us for tile wrong
we have inadvertently done him,
which we believe arose from the
similarity ol features, between the
person who swindled and cheated
us out or our property, and the fea
tures of the said Dr. George A.
Brown.
G c desire that this declaration
may be made pubtick in the
New-papersof Charleston, S. C.
and Augusta in Georgia, at our ex
pense, loi the space of 3 mouths,
aud recorded in the Clerk’s Office
in Pendleton district S. C. and
