EDITOR THE BAMBERG HERALD.-1n
your issue of the 18th instant, 1ntendant
Dannelly, as result of great labor on
the part of Rev. Mr. Mckissick to put
others between himself and you, says "its
even not meeting of council for there
was no minutes to show that such meet
ing was ever had but it was the under
standing then, June 18th, 1901, that
the well was to be bored in the middle of
the cross streets between Messrs. Kinard,
Chassereau, the parsonage, and opposite
corner lot" The public can now see that
the Irtendant admitted the location in
the cross street. What occurred after
this? Mr.. Matthews, the we'll borer,
arrived on evening train of 10Th June, ex-
pecting to unload and so to work the
next morning. He asked for the location
of the well he was told not to move his
tools and fixtures by DR.. Roberts and Jim
Quattlebaum, as Intendant Dannelly was
away. 1t was then told me that they
were prohibited moving implements and
the town would have to pay the days eX-
pense. then went to Mr. Matthews and
told him that the council had decided to
put it in the cross streets. Mr.. Matthews
told me to stick up the stake where the
hole was to be bored, and Mr.. Lewis
Kinard and l did this. A telegram was
now sent to Intendant Dannelly and after
the reply came they began to move the
tools and place them in position for boring
where the well now is. Capt. Dannelly
came in that night, was met by party at
train and taken behind the depot. 1nten-
dant Dannelly then might as it was)
called council together again to know
where we would locate well. (Read his
piece and see that he has already ac-
knowledge location.) told him he could
not call this meeting unless to reconsider.
This he did not do. Now, he tried to
ignore that meeting at which location
was decided on and about $500 OF the
money saved up by the economy of ex-
intendant Ehrhardt was appropriated by
saving there are no minutes. Was it not
his duty to appoint secretary pro tenn?
This he did not do and therefore is at
fault. But at this meeting on night be-
fore work was begun there was a tie vote
in council, Mr.. Dannelly to cast the de-
Gliding vote, and if he loved his preacher
so much why did he vote to put it on the
parsonage lot when the minister begged
that it be put some where else? Again,
why did Dr. Roberts, if he respected the
wishes of that preacher, why did he go
the next morning and pull up the stake
where Mr.. Lewis kinard and myself had
put it in the crossing and put it in front
of the parsonage, and he not member of
the councily Does not all this work look
like secret understanding Strange it
seems that while l did not attack any
committee they should put themselves be-
tween Mr. McKissick and myself. l have
nothing to do with them, as no charge
has been made. My fight was against the
piece of July 4th, which piece | took to
Mr.. Reynolds and asked if he wrote it.
His reply was that he wrote it but Rev.
Mr.. Mckissick dictated it. | then went
to Mr.. McKissick and asked him if he
dictated it; his reply was no. lthen took
him before Mr.. Reynololds with witnesses
and asked Mr.. Reynolds if he did not tell
me that Mr. Mckissick dictated the piece;
he replied yes. Mr.. Mckissick said Il did
not" The public can sec it was 4 case of
YOU did and l did not. How does that
compare with the committees charge of
falsiticr and slandercr? then stated that
did not want to 60 into 4 controversy
but would reply to the piece of July 4th,
to which did J. A. CHASsEREAU.
Ehrhardt, July 90, 1901.
