To the Public.

Having reliable information that
a report has been circulated to the
effect that / was not a candidate for
the Office of Assessor and that / ex-
pected, in case of Mr.. Noll's nomi-
nation, deputyship, and having
every assurance to believe the report
was circulated to do me an injury, 1
take this method of saying to the
people of Berkeley county, that Mr..
Noll and myself never had any con-
versation pertaining to or in any
manner relating to deputyship-
further, it was not until the 18th of
J;lly that knew of Mr.. NolI's can
didacy. Mr.. Noll will fully corrob-
crate every word have written and
to those who may have any doubts, I
would refer them to this gentleman.
The story is in full a wlllful lie, con-
ceived by a malicious brain, and if it
becomes necessary, will expose the
falsifer. Very Respectfully,
D. FL. STUCKEY.

Brother, and j. s. BoaL. They
have invested about 81 200 each,
and are not niggardly in dealing
with the public. They have a
passenger capacity for one thou
sand persons, and can therefore
handle extraordinarily large ex-
cursions. They transact their
business here; pay taxes, support
schools, churches, lodges, and con-
tribute Of their means to all mat
tiers Of public interest. These are
facts, and being facts, isn't it at
least trifle mean to neglect their
commendable enterprise? There
is more danger, such asjumping the
track, n broken wheel, ora broken
rail, or a collision or obstruction
on any railroad-a thousand fold
more, than can possibly attend q
boat ride to Potomac Isle. Com
mon sense must admit that. Now
kind friends, in planning your
excursions, in determining where
you can pleasantly spend a day,
give this subject consideration,
and before selecting some other
place, first find a plausible reason
why you should not patronize
Potomac Isle.
