A Wilful and malicious Mis statement o( Facts. Editor Americus Recorder:—In the Sumter Republican, of this date, appears the following state ment, beaded: AN IMPORTANT SURGICAL OPERATION. Mrs. William TomlinsoD, living a few miles from Amerieus, has for a year or two past, been troubled witli a tumor on tho knee. For the last few months, it has grown rap idly and assumed alarming dimen sions. It encircled the knee and spread six or eight inches up and down, grew to extraordinary size and was, in the opiuion oftho ply sicians, obliged to prove fatal if not amputated. Wednesday her husband brought her to the board ing house of Mrs. Morgan in this city, and Thursday noon, Drs. Westbrook & Harrison, of Ander son, and Dr Haines, of Americus administered chloroform and am putated the tumor. Tbc facts arc that Dr. J. B. Hinkle, of this city, did, at my request, suc cessfully remove the tumor from the leg of my wife; and that at his invitation the other physicians named were present and kindly rendered such assistance as he de sired. I stood by her side and witness ed the entire proceedings, and I cannot express in* mere words my gratitude to Dr. Hinkle, who performed the operation, or to Drs. Westbrook, IlnrrisDu and Raines, who so kindly aid6d him. William Tomlinson. Americus, Ga., June 28, ’84. Mit. Editor:—My attention hav ing been called to an editorial in the Sumter Republican of to-day, headed “An Important Surgical Operation,” I find that it contains, as will appear by lire statement of competent witnes.se!, a wilful and malicious misstatement on the part of Col. C. W. Hancock as to who performed the surgfcal operation npon Mrs. Win. Tomlinson. Know ing that Judge K. J'. Warren, one of the editors of Hie Republican, boarded at Mrs. Morgan’s, where my patient, is, and also that lie was perfectly familiar with the fact Dial the tumor had been removed by me, assisted by the other physicians named, I called upon him for an oxplanation. He said: “I wrote a- report of the case,stating distinctly that the tumor was removed by Dr. J. B. Hinkle, nsssisted by Drs. Westbrook and Harrison, of Andcr- sonvilie, and Dr. Raines, ol this city. I showed the article to Col. Hancock, who 1 objecred to having your name appear in the paper.” At the suggestion oi the Judge 1 saw Mr. Kimbrough, n compositor on tho Republican, who said: “I set up tbc article as it was written by Judge WnVrcn with your nninc in it. The proof was corrected by Col. Hancock, wli* struck out your name and changed it to rend as it appeared in tlic paper this morn- nig.” Now, while I do not attach much importance to my action in this operation, having,as is will known, performed many requiring a far greater exhibition of .anatomical knowledge and surgic&l skill, and while 1 take much pleftsuro in thus publicly acknowledging my obliga tions to my friends Drs. Westbrook, Harrison and Kaincs for their val uable assistance, I feel constrained to notice the editorial; simply to show the mean and coWa'illy spirit of Col. Hancock in wilfully and maliciously misrepresenting wbat he knew to be the facts in the case. At the same time 1 am aware that this wilful perversion'of the truth is so characteristic of the man as not to excite any surprise among those who know him. J. B. Hinki.e. I was present at the intcr-vinw between Dr. J. B. Hinkle, Judge K. J. Warren and Mr. Kimbrough, and the above statement of I)r. Hinkle in exactly wlmt occurred at said interview. S. Rogers.
