Editor Constitution. In your issue of
the 10Th instant appears a communities
ton from Charles NJ. Tyson, to which
| desire to reply.
l. He stated that | sought Mrs. Law
son at her home and requested the
privilege Of investing her funds, prom
Using to consult her whenever good
opportunity presented itself, l did not
seek Mrs. Lawson, nor did / ask the
privilege of investing the funds. She
sought me. She asked me to advise
her legally and to take her funds and
manage them for her as | saw fit.
2. | advised her TO, pay off the debt
on the Oconee place and take transfer
Of the evidence of this debt to herself.

company in whose possession thought
the note and mortgage were, and di-
rected it to draw on me at sight for the
amount of this loan, with the evidence
of this debt attached transferred to
her. This was day or two before her
death. provided for the payment of
this draft, as | would leave Atlanta be-
fore the draft would reach me. Under
these circumstances | wrote her that
had paid this debt on the Oconee place,
She died suddenly Sunday. .The
company wrote me that the security
was in Scotland, and they could not
draw on me at sight with the note and
mortgage attached and transferred,
and that it would take sixty days or
more to get them from Scotland. This
information reached me after her
death, and then I could proceed no
further until administration papers
We're granted on her estate.
3. Mr.. Tyson says in his communica-
ton that failed to pay one dollar upon
the debt on the Oconee plantation, and
every dollar that has been paid, some
thing over SO, 200, has been paid by me. "
He omitted to state the material fact
that [ turned over to him this 200
which he paid on this debt. Thus he
prevaricates by suppression of truth
I. lie states that | wrote her that |
loaned s., 500 on some property at Tai
lulah Falls, and did not make the loan.
This is true. I agreed to make this
loan on Saturday, and authorized Mr.,
Nj. A. Hale, of this city, to close the
loan on the following Monday. l left
the next day for Jefferson superior
court. On the next Monday | received
a telegram announcing her death, and
on the train that day, going to her flu
neral, wrote Mr.. Hale not to close this
loan. as the papers could not be exc
cuted, as the lender was dead lspolle
of this loan as made, because, SO far as
| could go, it was made.
Mr. Hale will verify this statement
I have made this explanation to Mr.,
Tyson and invited him to investigate
the truth of my statement,
). | never wrote to her, nor told Mr.
Tyson that I had loaned 1900 on At
lanta property, did write to her that
] had loaned about this amount to II
lady secured by real estate. This is the
truth, and Mr.. Tyson has the notes for
it in his possession. / hold the title to
secure this loan and an indie btcdness to
myself; and it is absolutely safe. While
he has these notes in his possession he
makes the statement that he is not sure
that it is loaned at all This shows his
reckless disregard for the truth With
the evidence that this loan was made.
he states he was not sure such loan
was made This statement shows the
bitter luminosity toward me.
6. He states that | have failed to pro-
duce the four thousand-dollar state
bonds or pay the money. This is not
true. He wrote me that he could not
use the four bonds, but wanted the
money. l sent him the money, not all
at once, but at different times.
:. lie says that there is due about
S., 900. This is not true. l made a
temporary investment of IS, 500 of these
funds. | thought it was a wise and
iudicious investment The panic of
1898 followed. and the investment be-
handle it Just as Il wanted to, and as
my own. it would be good.
! explained this to Mr.. Tyson and
proposed to give him mY note, amply
secured, for about 5000, due January
!, 1895, so that I could handle this in
vestment as my own. To this he read
lily assented. BY the time my note be-
comes due, shall pay it
$. When this note is paid | will owe
hls estate nothing. | have fully ac-
counted for every dolla" that went into
nay hands | have fully explained all
these matters 10 MIR. Tyson.
9. lie says that some of my letters
and kilograms were stolen from his
office. lie knows that have offered
TO furnish him with copies of all of
them. There is nothing which wish
concealed.
The animus of his communication is
