A Gard from Mr.. McIver.

To the Public 1t is due myself to
make statement to the public in con-
nection with the address of General Har-
rison
When reported General Oates's speech
at Notasuga l sat just in front of him,
Just out of reach of his arm when he
made his gestures and / heard every
word distinctly that he uttered and be-
lieve now that l reported him substan-
TALLY correct. l took notes Of HIS speech
and my notes, I think. are better than
his recollection. ! am surprised that the
first note OF General Oatess dissent from
the correctness of my report should have
come through the speech OF General Har-
rison | have seen General Oates several
times since the Notasulga meeting and
each time he complimented me on my
report of that speech. 1t Is a fact that
the first intimation that any one I'D
1t this office of General Oates's exception
to my report OF his speech was through
the letter read at the meeting tonight.
The General knows that | would not
wlfully misrepresent him and that II he
had intimated to me that | had done
so, that would have taken pleasure In
correcting any error made. He has known
me all my life and | do not believe he
would for a moment charge me or even
suspect me Of being guilty of doing him
such an injustice.
do not know that all of the letter was
read, and am sure it was not written to
General Harrison. l asked for a copy
of II and he referred me to Mr.. McGau-
ley. the stenographer, who had taken an
extract from it, and an extract was all
that he gave me.
II may be true that am afflicted with
deafness TO some extent. but that is
surely no excuse for my putting words in
the mouth of any man he did not utter,
and If General oates thinks I did so, 1
can only say that regret that he did
not inform me of It, and give me an OPP
portunity to put him and myself right in
the paper, and NOT make the correction In
the way 1t was done.
I cannot help believing that there is
something about the letter that has not
been made public.
The General has always been seemingly
pleased to have me report his speeches
and usually compliments me on their
correctness afterwards.

WILL CLEAN THE LAKE
BLoEMFoNTAINE TO BE PUT IN
SANITARY CONDITION.
President Ayres of Park Company
Pledges Himself to Board of
Health to Begin Work
at Once.

The management of Boemfontaine
Park has pledged itself to the Montgom-
cry County Board of Health to begin
dredging the lake at the park at once
with the view of putting it, in first-class
sanitary condition.
1t will be remembered that A. J. Brooks.
who lives in the neighborhood of BIoem-
fontaine, complained to both the Board
of Health and the Board of Revenue of
the sanitary condition of the lake. Mr..
Brooks said when he first filed complaint
he was barely able to walk on account
OF malaria and that his wife was in bed
with fever He claimed that the un-
healthiness of the neighborhood was due
to the vegetable matter which was de-
composing in the lake.
The members of the Board of Health
told Mr.. Brooks that they were unable
to assist him, as thhey had no funds
with which to conduct a prosecution or
legal action The Board of Revenue held
that the remedy was not in its jurisdic-
ton and consequently took no action.
Francis f. Ayres, President of the
BIoemfontaine Company. after a confer
ence with the Board of Health, agreed
10 start immediately the work dredging
the lake, clearing off the debris and
putting the place in frst-class SAM
tary condition.

Der, there was a young actor came
along whose stage name was William
H. Wilding. He had a good conner
cial training before he. started in with
us to become an actor, and sometimes
he used to ask NE for advice. He
played the court clerk in the trial
scene in the Merchant of Venice
and that sorte of small parts. l told
him often l thought him foolish to
give up business, in which he had
fair start, for such an uncertain thing
as the career of an actor.
ITO be frank with you,' l said to
him one night, L don't think you are
fitted to become great actor. You
seem to lack the dramatic instinct,
and without it you won't go far. My
candid advice to you is to go back
into business and stick to it.
The next day Wilding went out and
hustled for job in a store. He got
clerkship which paid him SIS a week.
He had been getting s25 in the stock
company, but he gave that up at
once and went into vulgar trade.
When he left the stage he gave up
also his stage name of William H.
Wilding and took ais own name of
John K. Mockett.
