In last Friday’s issue of your pa per there appeared an article from George McNair, in answer to a card from John W. Lancaster, in the is sue of the Tuesday before of the Dispatch and News of Hawkinsville. I have been brought into this controversy very much to my regret , and it seems that 1 am to be made to bear the brunt of a dispute be tween two candidates whom, in the beginning of the campaign. 1 had intended remaining impartial be tween. Without my knowledge or consent George McNair charged me with be ing the author of a statement tq the effect that John Lancaster was in strumental in establishing a city court for Pulaski county. John Lancaster has shown in his card that I denied having made such a statement, which denial I will un der no circumstances withdraw. George McNair replies, and very emphatically reiterates that I did make such statement, and says that it being a matter of veracity between him and me he leaves it to the peo people of Pulaski county to decide between ns. Unfortunately for the cause of truth and the enlightenment of the interested public no one was present when the alleged conversation be tween George McNair and me took place but George McNair and my self. lam satisfied to leave this issue of veracity between him and me to the tribunal he names and do so without fear of the verdict. Yours truly, Marion Turner.
