In justico to myself and friends, Mr. Editor, I desire the publica tion of this article, and as the election is over and gone I only want to correct some falsehoods that have been and are now being circulated about me. First, I wish to correct some campaign lies— for instance, it has been told on me that I was drunk all the last.terms of the Georgia Legislature, 1900 and 1901, which is an absolute lie, as my friends know and I can prove. It has also been circulated that myself and A. J. Mandy went to Atlanta and made arrangements for liquor for the campaign, and that we intended to try to pass a bill to get a dispensary in Gaines ville, which is a/lie. It has also been circulated on me that I at tempted to pass a bill in the House to prohibit all old soldiers who are worth over $200, from drawing a pension, which is also a falsehood. And in regard to the public school fund, it has been told that I opposed it, and there was no such bill before the legis lature. _ Also there was a great fight made against me on the depot bill. Well, in regard to that, I will say that I took an oath to to do my duty as I saw it, and thought then, and still think that the depot bill, should it have been carried out. as I thought it ought, would have been a good thing for the state. Now, m conclusion, I want to say that I never drank anything nor visited a lewd house while in legislature, and never missed but one roll call, and I can refer any body to such men as A.D. Gandler, Howard Thompson, Thomas M. Bell, A. S. Hardy, T. H. Robert- Bon, G. H. Prior, M. O. Gilmer. F. M. Johnson, Sam Dunlap a Ad several others as to my behavior and to the record that I made, and only wish to say that nothing but lies defeated me and there |i,re many mor8 that I could mention, but time and space forbid. And I ask your candid judgment if the above are not enough within them- aelves to defeat any man without any more, I only publish this that my friends and all truthful people may know the cause'of my defeat. All the above falsehoods can be proven as such. Respectfully, John H. Pierce. Mrs. J. E.
