Dr.. Shigo's admiration OF Bonhan1'
Is an old story. In his youth, tho

for the romantic record of ancient

United States as told by Quackenbos
to successive generations Of school
children. The famous defense of the
Texans fired his Imagination and
when he discovered in Japanese his
tory an almost exact parallel In the
battle Of Narashimo during the To-

grew that some day he might find

REPLY TO CAPT. WATKINS.
TO THE PEOPLE OF ANDERSON:

TO THE PEOPLE OF ANDERSON:.
l shall adhere to my resolution to
refrain from any further discussion
OF the franchise" question except
when think it necessary to make
corrections or to reply to those who
discuss the issues In q proper man
ner at proper time and through
proper sources. - esns MI
. 1 read the carefully prepared state
ment OF Capt. II. H. Watkins, one of
the local attorneys of the Southern
Public Utilities Company, which was
published in The Intelligencer last
Friday morning, with genuine pleas
ure. 1t was dignifled and moderate
in tone and q skillful presentation Of
a defense OF his company and partic-
ularly of its president, Col. q. ".
Taylor.
After reading his statement I feel
sure that the public will regret. as /
do, that Capt. Watkins, through ex-
cessive modesty or for other reasons
us Of the benefit Of his publicly ex-
pressed views on city matters for
some % years and will be delighted
that he has at last consented to honor
us by breaking his. 7 rule" even
though he waited, 10 do so until he
ceased to be resldeut of the city.
BY his defense ..of. his president,
Col. Taylor, as a,Jgeltleman q, Of child
like simplicity, without guile Or anyr
thing suggestive, dpf ,dpplicity. Capt.
Watkins OF course gently rebukes' me
for a contrary, opinion, :, and also. un7
wlttinglysh perhaps ,Eebgk res, q; several
membersy iof.s the former city council
Who In their yneEpt tlatipns with. him
did not find Col. Taylor afflicted with
any. rofl these Juvenile characteristics
in firgssHieht or Representations ire
lating TO the franchise. fOne member
Of this council, in fact, who c0nscicn.
tfdlsly voted for Itlrc franchise; was
fG ffsansted with cotl .,Taylor's attt-
tude and, unsatisfactory Representa-
tions that he openly EXPRESSED strong
disbelief .n the colonel's sincerity
and; consistency and sought inforrna-
tion from .Xice FfsSident Lee. or the
Southern Power 'compaIy In whom
he expressed. more confidence. ..tY
That Is all I desiEe to say In. regard
to my opinion OFFS Col. Taylor's atti-
tude throughout the Negotiations.
Although Capt. Watkins does not
quite say so. I infer from his state-
ment that In his opinion the "fran-
chise-contract." as veil as the white
way contract" is. valid and OF course
had the company consulted him dur
ing the negotiations he would have so
advised It. He ddes5 gay that ~ h!s
opinion the whito way Contract" is
valid and Of course would have 30
advised the company II asked.to do
SO by u before II was signed.
~ In other words,., Col. TAYLOR with
The Anderson intelligencer. [volume] (Anderson, S.C.) 1914-1917, 1914-11-24

would Justify the present council IN
repudiating the contracts Of the for
mer council. Under such circum-
stances both councils are on trial
before the people, with the benefit of
the doubt in favor of the retired coun !.
ell. especially when considerations
arising from the contract have been
performed. as In this case by the
Southern Public Utilities Company,
requiring the expenditure of large
sums OF money.
Third. Because the apparent nc
cessity for the repudiation of con-
tract! Of. such afar-reachIng import,
ance, entered into by former coun-
ell, forces the city Of Anderson Oh
trial before a tribunal C,npcsed of
citizens Of every section to- which the
interests or this city extend, and
lodges a doubt and produces tinid-
ity which Will operate ugaipst tho
most strenuous efforts for develop
ment and rapid progress.
Fourth. Because the men who con-
troll the Southern Public Utilities
Company also control the Piedmont
and Northern lines (the G. 8. Il A.
lines) which have been the means OF
bringing more prosperity and sub
stantial development to Anderson
thnn has ever been known. These
men have acted fairly so far and their
efforts and Investment OF money gtvo
every evidence Of interest in the well

the company, a rough draft of the
