Since writing the foregoing | have read
President Markham's TRADE against Hon.
" J Nollor OF the local bar. Judge
\"ll"r Il fully capable OF answering tina,
eiiu>ion and his reply will be awaited
with interest ! was connected with the
Emma Belle Woodson SUIT and Tor tina,
reason would like To make a few obser-
sations ON this last paid Advertisement,
oil President Markham The public
should understand that the Vicksburg
Herald i not publishing these Markham
letter, free. but that MIR Markham pays
'ome al the good old com OF the realm
some of the stockholders dividends-
Ia that paper for these half page disser-
iaiions Let IT, comment a little on this
article
Frs, Mr. Markham says: "You do
not challenge the truthfulnes, OF a sim
gle statement made IN any of these pam
phlet>. What nerve, II had that much
nerve | would be president OF all the
railroads IN the world ! challenge the
truthiulness OF one OF his statements In
referring to the Joyce damage suit in
his reply Ia me of Sept. 10. 1914. he
says; we felt that we were liable in this
case and Offered Mr.. Dabney si2s0O in
compromise. but he declined il and the
case was tried. and the jury awarded
damages OF 1854"
This statement OF yours is untrue, Mr.
Markham. told you so long ago IN my
article IN the Iazoo Sentinel and told
YOU that | could prove 1t was untrue by
your own attorneys here. II you have
ever summoned up the candor to admit
To the people OF Mississippi that you
were in error IN thus unjustly refle citing
upon my judgment. ! have never seen it,
Again he says. in speaking OF the
Emma Belle Woodson SUIT:
Mister Lawyer appeared on the scene
the same day To get the facts.
! am the lawyer who visited the scene
oi the fire the same day to get the facts
and IN doing SO ! was representing the
insurance companies here who had in
>urance on the house and who had the
righ, under the policy to bring suit for
the burning of the house. and who
phoned me to make an immediate in
,cstigation. Mr.. Markham might take
the matter up with the insurance COM
panles to find out why they regarded an
immediate investigation OF such impor-
lance.
Third. He says: Il have found tina,
without iirst presenting a bill or making
any eifor, whatever To settle.
What rot, Filled without first present
ing a bill or making any effort whatever
To settle" To settle at Mr.. Markham 5
figure. 81 course. II is notorious that
the local attorneys OF Mr. Markham ;
railroad here will not make any recon-.
mcndation whatever IN any eases until
i. hat .
name uf high heaven. i the use OF pre-
>enting a bill or making any effort
whatever to settle
Fourth In the list there are lew
cases al some merit. whteh We would
have gladly settled. hut the amounts de
handed were out al all proportion TO the
damage sustained
| assume Mr. Markham considers him
,cli a competent judge Ia pass on what
should he paid IN settlement OF suits
against his company Ii II real eievert)
II Mr. Markham Ia suggest that these
matters should be lett 10 hun TO arhi-
ttate His eampany's declining To pay
injured people what they think they are
cntltied 10 i, the cause OF the damage
suit, aud the cause ot all that hea'y

trials that seem To- give our friend MAIN
