St. Landry democrat., 1890-12-13
JUDGE Ye Between Us.

J. w. jackson, after quoting the FOL
lowing remark of ours, which at the
time of inditing it, was intended only to
show that errors may find their way INTO
newspapers, despite the vigilance OF
cditorS-says. our statement sis false:
III the st. Landry Democrat Nov. Goth, is the
following sentence:
I'VE might rctort, by reminding the Clarion
that when its first number appeared, our con
trprc j. W. jackson WAS annOnnceu as me
Editor, though he had bound himself not 10
engage i'll the newspaper business dlrectiy or
indirectly i'll the parish OF st. Landry lor inc
term OF five years..
The statement in this sentence that L so
bound myself is false. The act of sale by me OF
the Democrat office to Mr.. Duson should be III
the Recorders office. and it contains no such
Obligation, unless some one has committed n
forgery or falsifie,l record.
j. ". JACKSON.
We repaired TO the Recorders office
and obtained the following anthentl-
Gated cp>v of the act of sale of this office
to Mr. C. c. Duson. In it will be found
the identical language We quoted. We
see no appearance of Il forgery IN 1t.
The Notary before whom the act was
passed can hardly be suspected OF such
a crime, and the witnesses, at least one,
Judge Estilcttc, is here to verify the
gcnuincncss Of it. As we will never en-
gage in unfriendly newspaper contro-
versicS. we leave the matter with our
| readers to decide which of us is guilty
