A False Statement Checked.
Misrepresentation of Rev. j. l.

In the last issue of the Nashville

Williams University now stands | was
prompted by personal motives rather
than the interests and welfare of the
Baptist people of this state whom |
was then serving. This is the exact
language used by Mr.. Harding for
that purpose:
Dear Rev Haynes would have the
people think that he was placed on
the sacriticial altar when he was APP
pointed financial agent to collect So
600 out of which he was entitled to
from 10 to 20 per cent commission,
beside a nice commission for making
the sale for MIR. ]. o. Kirkpatrick and
Son. Did he get anything? He can
speak for himself"
1t may be seen that the gentleman
by implication, would convey the i'm
preston that | was paid a COMMISSION
on the sale of this property, also or
the lumber that was used in these
buildings. 1t is clear to my mnd thai

and to question my motive.

There is another means far more

after fixed date sank a neutral ship
