The charge hat I uttered forged untM at the Cltlsens' tsann oi .th -fitv. X. C. or at any other place. Is untrue.. I have the notes in question now In my possession, bear ing the bank's Identification which can not be gainsaid, and the notes will speak for themselves at the hear ing. The reason I happen to have the notes and other papers In this matter Is entirely due to Mr. Aydlett's advice to me at the time In these words, as. follows, "Ike, take these capers home and lock them up and keep them." I took him at his word and It now appears that I did well, since it becomes necessary to 1 use these papers to defeat the attack of the very person who gave the advice. But the public may well ask, why was Mr. Adylett advising me? The an swer comes like a thunderbolt from a clear sky. Mr. E. F. Adylett was my duly authorised and duly paid at torney! This will appear, also, In hia own hand over his own signature. That my dealings with the Citi zens' Bank of this place were dis honorable and that I made false and fraudulent reoresensatlons to the saia bank, as charged by Mr. Adylett, is untrue, lnjthe first place no officer of the bank, or other person connect ed therewith, will make such a decla ration under oath, and for the very good and sufficient reason, they can not do so. being, as they are. truth ful and honorable men. I shall hope to show this by Mr. Aydlett himself before I have finished. In support of the above positions, to-wlt: (a) that the charge Is false. b) that he was my attorney, c) that he has betrayed himself and his pro fession and thereby unmasked him self before the world.' I offer the following papers, In words and fig ures, to-wlt: TELEGRAM. "Elizabeth, City, N. C. "Nov. 2th. 1805. "To Hon. W. E. Daniel. "Halifax. N. C. "Wire received. Please take no action until after an interview with we together with full explanation from officers of bank. Assure you all Is right Am In court, cannot leave before Baturnay. See Jotter Irom party. Answer. (Signed) E. F. AYDLETT." 'Following this telegram Mr. Ayd lett forwarded to Mr. Daniel the fol- . lowing statement drawn in 'his own hand and which speaks for Itself In words and figures, to-wlt: BTATEM EXT. FROM BANK. "To Hon. W. E. Daniel, Solicitor of Second Judicial District Dear Sir: Mr. I. M. Meeklns In forms us that you have been consult ed to institute criminal proceedings Jn Halifax county an.alnst him on ac count of some act of his in regard to lien held by the Citterns Bank of .this place. "We want to say that we hold no lien on any lands In Halifax county. Mr. Meeklns. owes the bank nothing secured by any collateral mortgage or deed of trust.

C Nov. 29th, 10." , Enclosing this statement In a letter WTitten in his own hand. Mr. Aydlett wrote as follows in words and figures. to-wit; LETTER. "Elisabeth City. N, C, ' ' "Nov. 2th. 105, "My deer Walter: Tour wire just received. I want to assure you Mr. uiees;jn inn i m)r fiair )iiur lair rtess. I had decided to go to see you to-morrow.

The bank officials came o my office to-night voluntarily and dictated the enclosed statemont which J send you nd ask you to hold in.confidenee un- 1 til I see you.

You know Ike, and there Is no cause - lor -this attempt to do him any per sonal injury, and if an indictment la wade hts friends here will go fifty s rong to show his good standing in this community. 1 "I know you would not allow your docket to b used to gratify any ill will or personal spleen against any one and especially a young man of good standing and character. " lour truly, "E. F. ATDLETT." Mr. Aydleti's recent charges in the light of this letter seem to me amsx lng. He says in his letter that the bank officials would willingly go and testify in my behalf, and that, if the president ar.d cashier of the bank are; to be believed there was no cause for any trouble. It would appear now' that h would willingly undertake to use the same witnesses whom ,he claims declared my Innocence to him. to prove my guilt, so bent was he to accomplish his desires. It seems to me that he is "plowing the bank's heifer to the fullest limit." Fortunately for me the bank officials are honorable men and are-not to be whipped sbout to gratify the behests cf any man. especially the behects of each man. Following this letter Mr. Aydlett wrote Mr. Daniel another letter which speaks for Itself in words and figures, to-r.it: "Elizabeth City, X. C. "Dec. nth. l05. ',Hvn..W'. E. Daniel. Weldon. N.

F. Aydlett." Now. I submit that If I am a for ger now I was a forger then and Mr. Avdlett knew it as well then as he does now. If he denies that he was In full possession of all the facts at the time I will prove that. he was by the reply of Hon. W. E. uaniei now written Dec, 23d, 105. "to E. F. - Aydlett in reply to the two letters from Aydlett above set out This letter is in r. ua lel's wn hand and In It be recounts the. full' particulars of the transac tion as aforesaid. I offer for what It may be worth Mr. Aydlett's letter en closing letter of Mr. Daniel aforesaid and the aforesaid statement from the bank, to-wit: ' "Elisabeth City. N. C, . "Dec. 2th, .105. "Dear Ike: Enclosed I send you statement which was given by the bank, and returned to me by Mr. W. E. 'Daniel. He says the whole matter Is now at an end and there will be no steps taken In It "Yours truly, "E. F, AYDLETT." So Mr. Aydlett received Mr. Daniel's letter. He has doubtless forgotten its contents as he must have forgot ten the contents of the telegrams and the letters. he wrote to Mr. Daniel while he was friendly with me and while acting as my attorney. It occurs to me that If I were guilty of every word of every chargo Mr. Aydlett makes against me. even then, In th light ot what he has said over, his own signature,' It does not lie in his mouth to cry, "Stop thief." As to the second proposition that Aydlett was my dutly authorized and duly paid at torney, I offer in support oi that position a receipt in Aydlett s own hand which speaks for Itself In words and figures, to-wit: "Received, Jan. 22d, 10, of I. M. Meeklns, $50, he having heretofore paid me 1100 retainer In his matters in Halifax county. (Signed) "E. F. AYDLETT." This receipt together with his writ ten corroboration Is sufficient proof that he was my attorney, and he who would have doubts about that point now wouid not be convmcea. "Though one rose from the dead." Some people would do well to 'heed Shapespeare's advice In Henry Eighth: "Heat not a furnace for your foe ao hot That It do singe yourself: we may out run, By violent swiftness, that which we run at. ' And lose by over-running." This la what my friend (T) appeare to have done. That he has flatly con tradicted himself goes without argu ment. The only alternative I can see for him Is to point which time It was that he spoke the truth as there can be no question about the abstract fact that he has contradicted himself If he fpoke untruthfully -when he wrote Mr. Daniel, then he did It for one hundred and fifty silver dollars, Just one hundred and twenty pieces more than Judas received. But, then. It Is more expensive to live now than In Judas' day. This may ac count for the rise in price for such business. If he wrote untruthfully when he prepared his charges (and that- Is my contention), then there was a cause for it and I hesitate not to name that cause Revenge! And this calls to my mind one Benedict Arnold who bertayed his country to gratify a dual purpose money and revenge money first revenge next Aydlett' got more money than Judas and less than Arnold but he was alongside in the revenge proposition. However, is it not worth more cash to betray a whole country full of folks than it Is to betray Just one plain ordinary friend? . As I write I notice that both the names begin with A. After all there Is some logic in the eternal fitness of things. But, it may well be asked, where Is the proof that Aydlett was seeking to gratify spite, hatred and -spleen against me? It Is perfectly apparent to all In this community, and I will make It equally apparent to- every body else. Aydlett was enraged be cause he was expelled from the First Baptist church of this city. His anger was superinduced by the fact that he was expelled for good and sufficient reasons, which appear of record on the minutes of the church. I had the honor to be one of the members of that communion. He Imagines that I was instrumental In bringing about that event. In this, however, he is mistaken as he would have been ex pelled had I been dead and burled since the day he wrote Walter Daniel giving me a certificate of good char acter. The truth is, Aydlett reaped the reward of the oppressor. , He had practically converted the mem bership nf that church Into a band of church serfs. They awoke one fine day to their real condition, and asserted their dignity to what degree of effectiveness Aydlett and the world knows. Mr. Aydlett also cites Mr. -Noah hikks, or Bcouana recK, :v. c. as a witness lo my "forgery and fraud I submit a statement of Mr. Biggs which speaks for Itself In words and fiKures. to-wlt: "To AH Whom It May Concern: "I take pleasure In saying that the transactions between the Thomasvllle Orphanage and I. M. Meeklns, to which Mr. E. F. Aydlett refers In charges against Mr. Meeklns, were In all respects satisfactory and straight The full amount due the orphanage was paid by Mr. Meeklns two years or more Derore the same was due. and' was paid without any demaad. direct ly or Indirectly, for the payment but said pajment was voluntary on the part ofir.

Aydlett further charges that at the time an this "forgery and fraud-' was being pulled off I was Insolvent This is untrue. To say nothing about the farm which my brother sold to L., J.. Baker for $10,000, which said farm was mortgaged . to me, I Had in real estate and good securities in this county and New port News. Va.. $52,000.

I offer In support of this position the fol lowing papers, which speak for themselves, to-wit: , , . RECEIPT. - ' 4 ' No. 15JS-A. $36.37-100.

Upon its face It would appear that Avdlett did not know what he waa talking ahont Those who are familiar with the Postofflce . Department know that checks are pot sent out In payment for clerical services In postofflces, but that the clerks are paid directly by the postmaster from the funds of the postofflce dally received from the sale of stamps, stamped paper, etc I will pay $100 for Mlsa Lillian Brothers' statement under oath that at the time of her separation from the service she had not received every penny of her salary due her from the government and enjoyed the full benefit of the same during the time she served as clerk under me. She cannot make it and she will not; she has not and she never will. In Justice to Miss Brothers. I feel that I should say that I re luctantly removed her from the service. She was a splendid clei'k and In every : way fully equipped to do the service. To bo frank about It 1 removed Miss Brothers , for political reasons to make room for Miss Linda Bpence, the daughter of a Republican. This appears to be all Aydlett charges me with, save and except the Item of Hon. Nathaniel Beaman, president of the National Bank - of Commerce, Norfolk, Va. In regard to that charge, I assert that the same Jtj, false. Mr. Beaman will make fio statement under oath that my acts at nls Dank v were dis honorable. The reason Is, he can not, were he so Inclined, and be sides that, I have letters from him showing that he would, not and could not At the Investigation 1 will produce these letters, togethef with other telegrams, and other affidavits and other papers bearing on this case, which altogether must. beyond perad venture, exonerate me fully and completely, 1 do not pub llsh them all now for two reasons- one Is lack of good space, the other Is I know the character of the man with whom 1 am dealing and I don't riroDose to expose all my cards at this stage of the game. But some one asks, why all this smoke If no fire? The point it well taken. I am frank. It was my own fault even my own folly. In this wise: The night of the afternoon I paid the Citizens' Bank the amount due It by me I was talking with Mr. M. R. Griffin, the cashier of the bank and my friend. He told me that Mr. Kitchln, of. Scotland Neck, .'phoned him that day and said that I had committed forgery: that Halifax court waw In session and that he was going to have me Indicted. While I knew T had committed for gery no more than I had committed murder, yet I knew Mr. Kitchln's temperament , and naturally I waa concerned. Besides, I was a public officer and I knew the temperament of the President. I felt it my duty, under the circumstances, to do' all 1 could to prevent the notoriety of such a scandal, for the protection of myself, my family and my party. With this In view I went to Mr. Aydlett's office and consulted him, -lth what result the public now knows. As proof that Mr. Aydlett's action against me Is purely spiteful I ask why he did not hold up my confirmation when it was sent to the Kenate on February 2th. 1107? My term of office expired February 16th, 1907. and I offer the following nean- lines which appeared in tne aauy paper OI this city on man-ii . 1907: - ' , ' - - "Mr. I. M. Meeklns Nominated for Re-Appointment: President Pent Recommendation to " Senate Yes terday." ' . " And following these flaming head lines Is a complimentary story of my four years' service. The reason that I failed of confirmation at that time was due to the fact that Con gTess adjourned on March- 4th, without having reached my con firmation, together with a great many others In North Carolina. If I was unfit to serve as a public officer In December, 1907. why was I not unfit to serve ss a public otfier In March. 1907? The reason Is Inevitable. Aydlett was a member of the First Baptist church In good standing In March, 1907. and In August 1907, he was expelled for good and suf ficient reasons, and because he Imagines that I helped to expel' him he reaches hts conclusion that I am unfit to be postmaster ,1n December following. It la welL ' Now, then. If the public believes what I say, then I am not so bad a man as it would appear; If the public believes what Mr. ArdWt says In his letters to " Mr. Walter Daniel, then I am a gentleman. If upon all the facts the public finds tnat Aydlett waa my attorney and that he -'has sought to betray a pro fessional confidence. for . whatever reason, then, I ask, ought such a man to be longer permitted to prac tice in the Superior, and Supremo Courts of North Carolina?. Ought "U. . man to be longer allowed to retain hla membership la the-North rouaa uar Association ? Can cm-Hi an or a to trust case to auch a man At the time of Aydlett's publication against me a reporter for The Tar Ht'Ll tni" clty called at my office, on Wednesday before the article ap peared on Friday, and asked me If I had anything to say In reply to Mr, Aydlett's charges. , -I told the reporter that 1 had not . seen his charges and didn't know what they were, and asked him if -he would be kind enough to let me see what Mr. Aydlett had to aay, and he de clined. Then I told him of course I couldn't reply, not knowing the nature of the. attack. Nevertheless, It appeared In the headlined of the paper that its columns had been ex tended to me and that I had de clined to use them. I shall forward a copy of th,is paper to "The Tar Heel," with a request that It be published, with what degree of suc cess remains to be seen. Perhaps this Is all that I shall have to say In a newspaper about this matter. It may be pointed out that I should have replied earlier. Cause admitted. The reason I did not was because I could not Most of the data, which I have gathered has been gotten only afteria strenuous effort' At the time ..the paper ap peared" the charges were, as great a surprise to me as to my "friends. - It struck me, "all. of a heap." I tried to possess myself with patience and quietly and diligently-went to work to gather In my defense. ,1 knew I had a defense, a full and ample de fense, but whether I could get' hold of the proof was another question. The letters in Hon. W. E. Daniel's possession were of vital Importance to me, and these I procured only re cently. I shall ever be grateful to him' for nls .kindness. ' The sym pathy of the people In' this com munity manifested for me, and their indignation openly expressed against Mr. Aydlett have been a source of support which nothing else could supply, and have. Indeed, made me feel that God Is good and life, Is worth living.
