The Name Bob Lee - Correction Please

Atlanta, Ga., June 19, 1895

Editors Argus - I would be glad to infringe on your good nature to the extent of asking a short space in the columns of your most estimable journal to correct what has a possible tendency to reflect somewhat on myself.

The reflection of which I complain is this: I have noticed in several issues of your paper references concerning Bob Lee, the Negro under arrest in Jackson charged with train wrecking on the Southern Railway without stating his color, occupation or nationality, leaving a reading public to conjecture, as he and I answer to the same name and having both resided in the same county - Butts.  I have a larger number of acquaintances in Jackson and Butts county probably, than Bob Lee, colored.   For this reason in Justice to myself, Mr. Editors if you have occasion to speak of the prisoner again, please insert the little abbreviation "COL" after his name, and oblige

Bob Lee (white)
