Sen. Griffin Comet Back at Mr Goodwin. Editor Press and Standard: With reluctance and in self defense, I again find it neces. sary to reply to Mr Goodwin. I now have him designated and located, with all the malice and vindictiveness that any poor individual ought to ever be. I never heard a thing wrong about Mr Goodwin in my life, but has he not shown himself in his tirade? Can I conde scend to call him a liar and traitor, because I hav« inclina tion to do so, because 1 differ with him? No never, life is too short, and the duties there of too mat, and the golden rule of doing unto others, as 1 would that they should do to me, is of too much importance to violate that great command ment You may caH this posi tion on my pan, cowardice, or whatever you please, it makes no difterence to me for I have long since learned that the best time to abuse a man is when he is not present Mr Goodwin says 1 "have singled him out of a club of sixteen" this is untnie and ht knew it when he made the statement for 1 never even knew the writer, but he did know, if * he had a particle of common sense, I would resent it when he intended in his first article to reflect on me. Mr Goodwin don't understand, and in lact, don't want to un derstand my exposition of the facts. I actually admit and have never said anything to the contrary, that that they had a stock law meeting, as he alleged and entered into the compact and asked him to publish the same, and they signed their names to same, but I do deny that the whole eighteen men signed their names to the following state ment as ( he said to wii: "the Senator for Colleton county promised to support the sto k law bill, but oh whea he voted." This is the statement I denied. And now I demand the proof of your assertion,and it you fail to produce the proof as to every single man, then your statement is absolutely false and my statement is cor rect 1 don’t want your state ment, but their names signed before dUintoWed witnesses 19 the end that they each signed, and knew they Were reflecting on me. 1 kite# they all did not make this state ment over their sigfthtures, if to they did not understand what you had in there against 1 had a talk the other t:on." Such contemptible and inconsistent fallacious asser tions he is making, for in the sime sentence he accuses me oi having written this letter ig j after the bill was killed. He surely thinks yOur readers are fools or he could never assert or . even insinuate, as trua, so many different positions. ment that the delegation from Colleton county did confer, allow me to insert here a let ter from Hon J B Dodd Round. SC May 1908. Hon John C Goodwifi, Smoaks, S C. My Dear Sir: Replying to your favor of April 28th. As I mcai! the matter of stock law 1st, there was the requeatjj or Warren l owship as consi to be excused. 2nd a' further dcred b the Colieton de lega- promise to do what 1 eOuld for stock law and 3rd that the bill had already been killed. In the name of heaven whc^/can me. day and a with one he told me esi not of theuparti ,e he Bid * blame me for a single thing I did, that 1 did not no more than he would haAe done what do you think ot that? Mr B. B. Goodwin forther mys "1 was requested to send our agreement to t^e Press and Standard and the piece was pabltshed in both papers with my name B. B. Gcodwir. Sec.'* This statement, Is ab solutely false. Examine the Press and Standard, April 1 st 1908, it will show you who is tolling the 'truth and B. B. Goodwin is'Mt signed secre tary, and yet he may have thought it was true, but how caa a man carehessly and fla grantly make such statements, it reminds me of the old Latin phrase, "falsus in uno falsus in omnibus" false in one thing ftlse in everything. Can you .tjely on one who is sojcareless ki his statements? I wrote Mr D. Miley if 1 was under any ition to him or he thought to excuse me or words to end and only wrote to once, yet Mr Goodwin *1 saw the latter he wrote and he (the Senator) to do what he • could believe these wonderful ^state ments? The facts are as fol lows: When the bill was call ed in the senate first, I asked for the bill to be continued, which was done; then 1 wrote Mr Miley and after wridng him the same day or the day after 1 examined the bill, and found it included a portion on the Edistor River to be included in stock law, that it would be impossible without enormous expense to the county to fence ofl and knowing I had done Mr Miley no wrong 1 called up the bill and killed it, fearful it might slip through in some way. Now Mr Goodwin the records aje in Columbia and the letter in your hand, and if you will pvoe this is not true 1 will give you fifty dollars. Can 1 do more? This will show where the truth lies. 1 hardly know Mr B B Goodwin and knew noth- ng wrong about him till this controversy arose, but he has no right, and is everlastingly wrong in making these state ments on thoughts without proof. A man should know a thing and not think alone before he accuses another of wrong doings. The liar to my mind, if 1 am accused of it, is the vilest meanest, and lowest villian that lives under the great canopy of heaven, and I have ever emulated and tried to live up to the standard of truth, and the difference be tween Goodwin and myself is that he unfortunately got mad and drew too heavily on his imagination like a mad raving maniac will do. 1 have clearly demonstrated the fact that B p Goodwin is mistaken as to his accusations ot talsity against me, and where are my traitor ous acts? I told my people from the ftunsp I against stock law and my vote prove* it 1 let no bill even tainted with stock law pass the senate* and never will, unless I find it to the good of the masses of the people. I vrish however I could give every man stock law, that wants it. 1 blame no man because he wants stock tion in the legislature, we had a conference at the City Hotel at which the whole delegation was present. There was a difference of opinion between yourself and Senator Griffin, as to the boundary line of the proposed stock law section,and it was agreed to have another conference and Mr J M Smith, who was in the city at the time, should be requested to be present to name the line. Hoping this statement may aid you and Senator Griffin in adjusting your diflercnce, I beg to remain. Yours very truly, 4 J B Dodd. Now as to the second state ment that "he did not promise anyone to support the bill." I'll admit that 1 did assert that somewhat hastily, for I had only Mr Griffin’s own word for it at that time and 1 ask to be excused, for 1 did not then know what weak evidence his word was. Since then how ever I’ve found that he did make the promise to suppert the bill to men in the proposed stock law territory and I hope that 1 will not be put to the trouble of getting certificates from these gentlemen. Now Mr Editor 1 hope that this matter will close and as for my part it is closed as to this matter. Yours, Jno C Goodwin. Smoaks, May (i.
