We cannot aee the consistency of
the unreasonable attacks made on
Hon. J. W. Maxwell by our op
ponent. The letter from Hon. J.
T. Apperson. which it publishes,
clearly exonerates him from using
his influence against it at the Land
Office, and in fact gives him credit
for assisting that paper in the be
ginning. Mr. Maxwell is too wa II
and favorably known for this alm - ■
to have any effect against him. and
as he is seeking no office, we can
not see the object of the abuse. M r.
Maxwell made an excellent reputa
tion as a legislator, and has done
more good solid work for thi:
county than any other one man.
The money brought into this county
by the road appropriation and the
beneficial eflects of the road arc
appreciated by the jieople, Now,
he is not asking ¡my favors, not
even credit which lie deserves, mid
has never taken the trouble to
make public denials of the foolish
charges against him.
We shall
put this matter before the people
in a proper light more fully in the
future.
