Mr. Bankston had made, viz., that he 

 was the inventor of the system, while 

 Mr. Laws had been given the credit for 

 it. I wrote and explained to him the 

 same as I had to Mr. Bankston, but 

 nothing- further was heard from him. 

 Soon after I saw his complaint in the 

 American Bee Journal. 



Now, I have no disposition whatever 

 to rob any man of any glory or honor 

 that is his due. So far as I know Mr. 

 Bankston or Mr. Pharr, or, perhaps 

 both of them, originated the baby- 

 nuclei plan for fertilizing queens, but 

 they did not describe it in such a man- 

 ner that the public understood its 

 advantages. Mr. Laws described it so 

 that he was understood, although he 

 admitted that it had been described be- 

 fore. Perhaps he ought to have men- 

 tioned names, although I did not think 

 much about this point at the time, as I 

 had been referred to him by the men 

 who claim to have invented it. 



I don't think that there has been any 

 disposition on the part of any one to 

 rob Mr. Pharr of his honors. I know 

 there has been no such intention upon 

 my part, and if there has been the ap- 

 pearance of that in the Review, I beg 

 his pardon for the part that I have 

 played, and take pleasure in making 

 this public acknowledgement.
