To the People of Lexington County: It has come to my ear that a fellow named Mitchell, convicted cf ballot box stuffing and of otherwise unsavory reputation, said at his trial in Lexington recently that Dr. Clarendon W. Barron pretended to be ill as an excuse for his absence as a prosecution witness because he was afraid to face the issue. That Dr. Barron lives too closely in the fear of his God to be afraid of anybody or anything is apparent to anybody who knows him, and nobody realizes this more acutely than Mitchell. It is needless to brand Mitchell's statement as asinine and false to anyone who knows either Mitchell or Dr. Barron, but for the benefit of others I wish to assert of my own personal knowledge, as scores of others are in position to likewise assert, that Dr. Barron was critically ill on the day Mitchell made this statement he knew to be false, and has not been able to leave his bed since three days before the trial. He is still in the hospital. William H. McCaw. Columbia, S. C., Aug. 31, 1905.
