Mr.. Sistrunk in his letter OF April
1st, practically raises the question of
veracity between US. 1 state positive
ly that I visited Mr.. Sistrunk's farm
only one time in my life, and then at
his request. and as his guest, solely.
That I had at the time a good horse,
bought from Mr.. Ed Rou of Reddick,
sufficient for my uses, and that L new
er said anything whatever to Mr.. Sis
trunk about buying another horse, or
any horse; that the whole matter of
Mr.. Sistrunk not running in 1912 and
my not running in 190S.. came from
Mr.. S. T. Sistrunk himself, without the
slightest solicitation or intimation on
my part. That 1 refused to take any
action in the matter whatever until
should think the matter over. that
took full week to consider the mat
ter, and that I even then refused to
agree not to run in 1908, unless I had
something more tangible than Mr. Sis
trunks word, and that he then offered
to pledge himself. in black and white,
and that I wrote out myself the letter
which Mr.. Sistrunk copied, signed and
handed to me, and say that this doc
ument was given to be by Mr. Sistrunk
of good faith on his part. That this
was done by him quietly, deliberately.
of his own accord. and after a full
week, in which to consider the matter
and he having. in the papers of the
county. publicly acknowledged the
copying and signing of the pledge, ]
cheerfully leave to the people of this
