Mr. Editor, In last Friday’s issue of your paper there appeared an article from George McNair, in answer to a card from John W. Lancaster, in the issue of the Tuesday before of the Dispatch and News of Hawkinsville. I have been brought into this controversy very much to my regret, and it seems that I am to be made to bear the brunt of a dispute between two candidates whom, in the beginning of the campaign. I had intended remaining impartial between without my knowledge or consent George McNair charged me with being the author of a statement tq the effect that John Lancaster was instrumental in establishing a city court for Pulaski county. John Lancaster has shown in his card that I denied having made such a statement, which denial I will under no circumstances withdraw. George McNair replies, and very emphatically reiterates that I did make such statement, and says that t being a matter of veracity between him and me he leaves it to the people of Pulaski county to decide between us. Unfortunately for the cause of truth and the enlightenment of the interested public no one was present when the alleged conversation between George McNair and me took place but George McNair and myself I am satisfied to leave this issue of veracity between him and me to The tribunal he names and do so without fear of the verdict. Yours truly, Marion Turner Additional Comments: This is when Cochran was In Pulaski County File at: http://files.usgwarchives.net/ga/bleckley/newspapers/turnerma2800gnw.txt This file has been created by a form at http://www.genrecords.org/gafiles/ File size: 2.2 Kb
