IN BEHALF OF JUDGE SIMMONS.
MIR, Speer Writes of His Excellent
War Record.

War Record.
TIMES .REooRDER:-I see that my old
Colonel, Hon. #. j Simmons, is again a
candidate for Chief Justice, and I
think he ought to be reelected not only
because he has filled the Office with
great honor but because he is noble
Confederate veteran, and deserves to
be voted for on that account. was a
soldier in the 45th Ga. Regiment of
which Judge Simmons was Colonel,
and I had the best Of opportunity to
know of his uniform kindness and con
sideration of his men and of his gal
liant conduct on many fields of battle.
There was no more thoughtful man
Of his soldiers nor any braver man in
the army than Col. Simmons.
In the bloody sever days fight around
Richmond he was badly wounded, and
I had the honor in connection with an
other soldier to bear him from the field
of battle to place of safety where his
wound could be treated.
When Col. Simmons was wounded,
he was gallantly leading his regiment
iu this bloody fight, and the explosion
of a shell caused his injury, So seri.
GUS was this wound that he had to re-
turn home for treatment, but came
back to the army and resumed his COM
mand after his recovery. He was q
just man then and of noble and kind
heart
have thought proper to call the ct
tention of the Confederans veterans to
Judge Simmons gallant record as q
Confederate soldier and to appeal to
the veterans to vote for him. Our
ranks are getting thInRer every year
and soon we shall not have the oppor-
tunity of supporting our comrades in
arms, and it behooves us to avail our.
selves OF every opportunity to honor
those who stood shoulder to shoulder
with us in the trying days of war.
I feel satisfied that Judge Simmons
will be reelected but he deserves to
have it unanimous. Very truly,
