AN INTERESTING CORRESPONDENTS
Mr. Perry Suggests Few Places to be
Filled and Mr. WillonEhby Declines
without Thanks.

The following correspondence is
printed in the Florence Reform Advo-
cate:
Con-. ON VENTILATION AND ACOUSTICS,
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVE U. S.,
WASHINGTON, D. u, Oct. Is, 1893:
4l9 SIXTH st., n. w,
Mr.. T. G. Willoughby, Florence S. G. -
DEAR SIR; Mr.. D. &. Roper, and
who agrees with me that you were the
man for Dispenser, has requested me
TO write you and ask you to give me
the name of some good young man Of
your county that would like to accept
position up here as conductor on
some of these street cars at 81 per day.
We have now on these cars some
fifteen young men from South Caro-
lima, and as yet none from your county,
therefore am anxious to have your
County on the list, and l know Of no
one that is in position to pick me ont
good one than yourself. Good board
can be had for SIG per month.
We may be able to get you a place il
some Of these departments at from
81, 200 to $500 per annum, if you
would like something of that kind.
When Tillman treated me as he did, l
was not ct all surprised at his conduct
towards you in that dispensary case.
You, like myself, have almost killed
ourselves for the Reform movement.
Hoping to hear from you soon, re-
main. Is. r. PERRY.
S.-I will get my appointment as
soon as the silver question is settled,
and then will be in position to help my
friends more in the way Of patronage.
Mr.. Waddill has told me all about you,
what a trash mover you were; and he
is my friend, too.
FLORENCE, S. c., Oct. 20, 1898.
B. F. Perry, 419 Sixth Street, n. w.,
Washington, D. G.
DEAR SIR: Your letter of the 18th
instant at hand, and let me assure you
that feel fattered at your great inter-
est in my welfare; the more 80 since We
have never met, and this is the first
communication which you have hon.
ored me with.
regret my inability to name any
one suitable for conductors on street
cars. Am surprised in these days of de-
preston aud want Of employment that
YOU are not able to find all the men
you want in Washington, and if this
is another source of patronage, are you
not going outside Of our platform,
which proclairns for home rule, in
seeking elsew here than in Washing
ton for conductors?
AS to the matter of my appoint
ment, or 1 should say non-appoint-
ment as State Dispenser, am not in
need of sympathy-am too good a
Democrat to kick out Of traces because
of personal disappointment. My object
in seeking the appointment was to
make q success of the scheme, and
since that is assured I am more than
satisfied.
What has become Of the Civil Ser
weed Bureau? Iinnocently ask this
question since you seem to have 80
much patronage at your disposal. s1,-
200 and $1,600 places are not to be
lightly refused in these hard times,
bul although not doing near so will
must decline your kind assistance
with shanks.
In conclusion have to say that if
you have in any way taken up the
idea that I can be bought you have
certainly struck a snag. We, down
here, are for the principles of Reform,
and not the loaves iand fishes; and we
propose to carry that banner to the
front and will stand by those only
who stand by our flag.
Yours, &C.,
T. c.. WILLoUGHBY.
