Yes, numbers of them, no use to go to the trouble to name so many. I want to say to the citizens of the city of Union I refer you to Mr. J. T. Sexton, who has known me all his life, who once lived a near neighbor to mc. Also Dr. Y. L. Poole. Then I ask all the leading business firms of the city how I stand with them financially. Yes, voices comes to mc from all over this township in praise for the firm stand I have taken in defending myself, also praise from another township in this county. Now, as for the charity act with my brother he will tell you that I loaned him money to buy medicine for his sick child when he could not get it anywhere else.
