ing clippings from the Leesville News
which insinuates that there was an
understanding between the county oth-
rcials and myself as to where the
bridge was to be located before L bid
and that was guided by an alleged
court house ring, which lnsinuation is
absolutely false and without foanda
tion. The county supervisor had my
self and others to make survey OF
both locations-Anick's Ferry and
Still Water-and asked me to make a
/. bid for a bridge at both places, includ-
ing the building of the road on six
per cent grade out to where it would
intersect with the main roads now
open to public travel.
"I notice by the clippings you send
that the question is asked, WAS the
estimate made by engineers or bridge
salesmen?' In reply to this question,
a will say that they were engineers
and bridge salesmen both. AS mat

A'Dear Sir:
.aThere has arisen discussion over
the decision of the county board OF
commissioners in selecting Still water
,as the site for the erection OF steel
bridge over Amick's Ferry. The lm-
imitation is made that there has been
some, hing crooked in the transaction;
that the engineers were rot guided by
the natural advantages Of the one,
but were governed by personal ap-
peals from outside parties-the court
house ring. In as much as your p ans
we're selected for the building Of a
bridge at Still Water, and knowing as
] do, that you made plans and specifi-
cations for both places, I am sending
Won herewith the controversy as it has
appeared in the papers. Now, if
there has beea anything crooked about
the TRANSACTION / want you to say 80.
I would flank you to state also, in
your own way as briefly as possible,
what advantages, if any, has Still
Water over Amick's Ferry, and
whether or not you figured on both
places. The assertion has been made
las you will observe from the inclos-
ures-that the bridge can be built at
Amick's Ferry for seven thousand
dollars less than at Still Water. I
think statement from You is neces-
sary, not only to protect your own
honor, bat in defense OF the county
.board. / will thank you for an early
reply.
every truly yours,

The following is taken from Facts

N. c.: Hot weather is bad enough,
but bring five hundred unbathed
people to town, huddle them on the
sidewalks and in the stores, and
distribute six or eight crates of
fresh fish among this mass, and the
way those fish will be multiplied
Is a miracle, second to none. -~The
editor of Facts and Figures has
just cause for complaint. 1t is
bad enough to havs/ 500 unwashed
people in town aYthe same time
but add to that six or eight
crates OF n fish and you have
conp'seehcson that would make
.as,,E cheese smell like rose.
Af council does not act i'm.
mediately Facts and Figures should
begin a campaign against unwashed
people and the unworthy city faith
era should be ousted from office
Such movement would be partic-
uiarly popular just at this season
OF the year and we do not hesitate
to predict fine results for our Rae
