9" Mr. Hines Denies Statement Aboqt Road Work Ir\ Murfreesboro Section Murfreesboro, July 2, 1923 Editor, HERALD: Dear Sir?I no tice in last week's issue of your pspe that Dr. J. A. Powell, Chairman o! the road board, says that Mr. E. W Whitley's kick from Murfreesbor< township was to try to have me put back in charge of the roads. Now, I have never mentioned sucl a thing to Mr. Whitley or anyone els< and I don't believe Mr. Whitlej would try to force the road commis sioners to give a man a'job that h< knew they did not want and I am also sure he would not do such a thing without the man who wanted the job asking him to do so. Dr. Powell also states that I gave Murfreesboro township preference, that I did more work there than any where. I have no doubt he has heard that, but it is untrue and the work will show it to anyone who cares to look it over. When I came to this county, Murfreesboro and Winton did not have anything to work with, and consequently the other townships had right much work done before I could do any work in Murfreesboro or Winton, and when 1 left the county Barrellsville, St. Johns and Ahoskie had five times as much road built as Murfreesboro and Winton and about four times as much as Maneys Neck. Of course, I have nothing what ever to do with the commissioners paying the Ten Thousand but, after paying that, Murfreesboro had less than Harrellsville, St. Johns and Ahoskie. 1 I am not writing this to get into any controversy whatever, but I want the public to know I tried to give every part of the county its share of work when I was permitted to do so. I also want them to know that I am not trying to get a man who is not even a member of the road board to help me get back on the road. I am very poor, but were the road board to offer me the place back at twite the salary they paid me before, I would not take it with J. R. Gar rett on the board. Garrett perso nally dislikes me. He is the man who claims the honor of discharging me, and here are a few of his rea sons; 1. ne said ne was ine dobs, ana not me. 2. He could discharge me and I could not him. 3. He waa going to discharge me. 4. The men I had in his township were no good. (Now, he has proren all these things even to the men be ing no good. Had they been real men, after he did them as he did, they would have quit, but I hear they are still with him.) 5. I worked against him in the pri mary, and Mulder and Harris voted against him. At the time of the pri mary Mulder was down sick, and neither he nor Haris voted. 6. He could feed the mules for less than half what it was costing me. I have not seen his mules but I hear he is doing this alright. 7. That I used too many axes, said that Dr. L. K. Walker had told him he had okehed a bill for a car load of axes while he was on the board that I used. 8. He had given up his other busi ness to work on the roads this year himself. 9. That he had hired a first class man as foreman, one Mr. Phelps. 10. That I was. not getting any thing done. N 11. He wanted to take it to get some work done and build some real roads. 1 have not seen his work but I have heard that he has demonstrat ed that fact between Winton and Co field. I think he has showed to all his people that his reasons were good ones. I have not heard anybody say otherwise, but, Mr. Garrett did not discharge me by himself; five of the six voted against me, four I should have said. Dr. Powell being chair man did not vote, there was a majori GAL. 2?HINES LETTER T ty without him and here are theii reasons. Mr. H. G. Snipes of St Johns township said it was time for I change. Mr. John D. Brldger saic that they had me gone and he knee he might just as well vote agains me. Dr. Pollard, the one who made th< motion, did not offer any reason But he now says he is saving 3400.01 on the pay roll per week. I don' know whether it was for Wintoi township ?r the entire county. So I guess that was his reason, and the] say this was why I was pot off. I have nothing against any mem ber of the road board. I admire i man who has back bone enough t< say what he thinks. But Dr. Porwel is mistaken about Mr. Whitley tryini to get me back on the roads am more work in MurfreeSboro town I think those are sufficient reasons F. G.
