COL. JAMES M. SMITH,

Smithonla, Ga. June 27,190ft.
Mr. Editor: \
In regard to Judge McWhorter’s
letter, recently published in reply to
Hon. Hoke Smith, I have this to say:
I was passing^through Athens on
my way to a speaking appointment
stopped at the Commercial Hotel, an
hour or two, waiting for the train.
No one in Athens, as far as 1 know,
knew in advance, of my passing
through the city at that time. „
I met Mr. Hugh Bowe, Editor of
the Athens Banner, who came to my
room and read over to me Judge
McWhorter’s letter. After hearing
the letter read, I asked Mr. Rowe to
request Judge McWhorter to leave
out of his letter all reference to me,
as I did not wish to become connected
with any personal controversy exist¬
ing between Hon. Hoke Smith and
Judge McWhorter. *

At this time I did not expect to see
Judge McWhorter. However, before
I left Judge McWhorter came to my
room. I made the same statement to
udge McWhorter which I had made
Mr. Bowe and requested him to
leave out of hie letter all reference to
me for the reason already stated.
Judge McWhorter, *upon reflection,
said he believed I was right and he
would do so.
Pretty wxm, l left on my train. I did
not see HofL Clark Howell or have
any communication with him in any
manner whatever. I)ld not know
Judge McWhorter had written any
such letter until It was read to me by
Mr. Rowe.
In passing through Athens, the
meeting of Mr. Rowe, the reading of
Judge McWhorter’s letter to me, and
meeting Judge McWhorter was all
accidental and wholly unexpected to
me. I am sure I had no desire to do
Hon. Hoke Smith or any one else,
an injustice and did not directly, or
indirectly, remotely or otherwise,
help any one to fix up a letter abas¬
ing him, or referring to him in any
manner. All I wish to say or to
write in reference to Hon. Hoke
Smith, or anyone else, I will say
myself and write over my own sig¬
nature.
I am running my own campaign
and will be giad to have the help of
all those who endorse my platform.
The public will not fell to see that
the effort to distort the facts and lag
me into a controversy existing be¬
tween Hon. Hoke Smith and Hon.
Clark Howell, on the one part,' or
Hon. Hoke Smith and Judge Mc¬
Whorter on the other part, does me
great Injustice.

where they subjected him to
the humiliation of a public
