Has Never Attempted to Break In or Force
Himself Into the Legal Profession.
Crescent, N. c., Sept. 10, 10.
EDITOR OF WAToHMAN,
Salisbury, N. c.,
Please allow me space in your
valuable paper to make a correc.
ton concerning myself. 1 noticed
in your paper issued August 31st,
that you stated that I had gone to
Raleigh to attempt to break into
the legal profession and that it
was my third or fourth time to do
80, Also I noticed in your paper
issued September. 7th that, Abe
Lingle had returned from Raleigh
and again failed to break into the
legal profession. Now, I want to
say right now that I have never
made any attempt to break or
force my way not only in the legal
profession or in any other matters,
as it seems the Editor of THE
WAToHMAN has done in my own
private matters. The Record of
the Suprime Court of North Car
DINA chow that On August 81st,
1909, one year ago, [ registered ss
an applicant conditional for Ii.
cense to practice law but failed to
comply with the conditions OF
registration my license was not
granted me. The Record will
show that on the 29th day of Au.
gnst, 1910, I again registered 81
an applicant for license to prao.
tioe law but failed to answer q
sufficient number of questions
necessary to secure license tx
practice law.
Now, the Editor OF any one else
concerned in my business can SEE
that l have only had but one fail
chance to secure license and tina,
was on Aug. Goth. And I will
frankly admit that the examina
ton was too much for me, but
was very much relieved after read
ing the different newspapers of tn
State and the comment from tn
legal profession there being
doubt as to whether they coult
have answered a sufficient numbe
of those questions to secure Ii
cense, however I I'm going to ap
pear again before the Suprem
Court in February. Now in writ
ing to the Editor of The WATCH
MAN concerning this matter I hav
no ill feeling against him nor an
one but feel it my duty to mysel
and my many friends to make tn
above statements.
, With best wishes to all l remain
Yours respectfully,
A. l.. LINGLE
There are several points on
