ufll"?' STATEMENT OF MR. DREWRY Raleigh, Sep. 28. The Raleigh Evening Times, which appeared in one edition late this afternoon, contained two sensational state, ments. The first was signed by State Senator John C. Drewry, grand secretary of the Grand Lodge of Masons, and piesident of the newspap.-r company, breaking his silence oT five days regarding the Toncheis for $6,000 paid him in ten months, last yea'-, by First Vice Preeident A. B. Andrews, of the Sonthera Railway. " Drewry says that two years ago. then owning an interest in the paper, he approached Andrews and asked him how he would like to see a large afternoon paper in Raleigh. Ardrews replied that he would groatly like it, as The News and Obeer .er had never treated him or the Southern fairly, bearing person, al animosity againbt both, and he insisted en an impartial paper. Andrews said he could not take any stcck but would give advertising to the value of a few thousand dollars upon the paper's publishing the schedules, special notices and such clippings from other papers va he might designate, the editorial de partment to be left entirely to the editor. RETURNED A VOUCHER. Drewry says the paper was then enlarged all this before he had any idea of being State Senator; that it was April, of last year, that An drews paid him a Southern Rail way voucher for $2,000, which was turned over to Business Manager, George B. Crater, and deposited to the credit of The Evening Times; that in August, last year, Andrews agaiu sent another for $2,000, which was similarly handled, as the books shew; that late in January last, after Drewry was in the Senate, Andrews again gave hiui another like voucher for the same sum which was deposited in the biuk. Drewry says that a few hours later he real ized that as Senator he might be criticised for accepting such t voucher, even though as president of the newspaper, and so returned it, and thai it was credited Febru ary 4tb, as paid back by the news paper. Drewry denies that An drews or the Southern Railway contributed a nickel to his campaign fond directly or indirectly, and says neither controlled him in the Senate j or ever tried to do so and that in " nearly all cases he voted against the railways and for the 2 1.4 cent rate. He says this is a full and frank statement and that he delayed mak ing it until he could verify each statement. The second sensation was the following, which appeared at the head of the editorial column: "A WORD PERSONAL. "This afternoon I tendeied my resignation as editor of The Raleigh Evening Times, to taktj effect at once. (Signed) "S. L. Rotter." It is rumored that other resigna tions will follow. It is no secret that the State will use with special effect in its fight for the new pas senger rate the revelations made as to there Southern vouchers and that Drewry's statement will cut a Iarg- ngure in this matter.
