Trustee-elect W. Spence McE'al
this morning announced the appoint
ment of Harris Puryear as his depu
ty. Mr.. Puryear has been in the True
tees office for the past eight years.
having served under Trustees Kannor
and Thomas and is perhaps the best
equipped man in Maury county for
the position. That the appointn ent
will meet with the generous approval
of those who desire an efficient and
business like administration of the OF.
fee is generally admitted.
This appointment ends long con
test that commenced when Mr.. Nc.
Fall was nominated in the run-off pri-
mary on Feb II last, From that time
to the hour of making the appointment
Mr. McFall has been beseiged by the
friends of applicants for the post of
deputy. Having made no promise of
any kind while candidate Mr.. McFall
was absolutely free to chose whomso-
ever he thought would best promote
the interests of the taxpayers.
After Weighing the matter with
that care and deliberation which is
his chief characteristic Mr.. McFaii
reached the conclusion that he could
not better subserve the interests OF
the public than by the appointment
Of Mr.. Puryear The position was
then rendered to Mr.. Puryear and &C
eepted. It is tribute alike to the
ability and integrity and official record
of Mr.. Puryear and to the discernment
of Mr.. McFall
The appointment is strictly without
political significance. 1t is well known
that in the primary Mr. Puryear sup
ported Mr.. McFall's defeated oppo-
nent. Therefore, Mr.. Puryear had no
claim whatever for the appointment
from a purely political standpoint II
was a tribute to splendid record in
Office that should be the pride OF not
only Mr.. Puryear but of the peopae Of
this county.
Mr.. McFalI has been heartily con
graduated upon his solution of diff
cult matter. He has at the very out.
set of his political career evidenced
determination to give the people bus
mess like administration.
