H. McMullan, Jr., in your Issue of February 4th, I only care to reply to th?t part which hM reference to J me personally. J wart to assure the public and patrons -of the Eden ton postofflce that 1 did not secure the endorsement of Congressman Small j through any "ring" or "wire pullers" as suggested, but by 1 tiers from hundreds of my life-long democratic friends, many of whom were signers of Mr. McMullan'a petition, but with* drew their support from him for reasons on their own. On July 17th. 1913, Mr. J. H. McMullan, Jr., in company with an other gentleman, approached -and urged me to make application for the poatoffice and then declared bo would support me as 1 was the one most entitled ilo the position for party services. Upon his suggestion 1 Immediately wrote to Congressman Small, who advised me on July 19, 1918, of the precedent of thn admin istration, and stated the present postmaster's term would not expire until February 1916, bul my letter would -bo Aloft--for Uture relorence and would'advise me. I heard noth ing from Mr. Small until In June 11915. 1 Immediately . commenced getting local endorsement, and to my astonishment, nine out of t<~n peo ple I approached told me they had aigned a petition for J. H. McMul lan. Jr.. for the position, but would gladly give me a letter, which they did. setting forth they signed with Mr. McMullan. Jr., before they knew ( was an applicant for the position. Many other signers of h'.s petition, which he terms "overwhelming en OTta CHURCHES RAISING FUNDS FOR PASTORS PredbyteriAii, Methodist. and Haptbt Churches Are Also Working on National Campaign. "1 was very much interested in the article regarding the Eplscopal ean plan for raising a fund to pro vide for their aged ministers, whlcn appeared In the Dally News, and also your editorial on the proposition," remarked Rev. H. B. Searight this morning. "The Methodist, Presbyterian and Baptist churches have been working on this same plan for Fome time. The Methodist church Is making an ef fort to raise a $15,000,000 endow ment fund and have already secured about 17,000,000. The Presbyter ian chuttn Is after a $10,000,000 fund and have secured about $4,000, 000. The Baptist church also want $10,000,000, I think. They are bus ily engaged In their campaign.

Among those writing .alters in my behalf tftaj 1 became an aspirant for the om?n were doc tors, bankers, lawyer*, State officers, county officers, ex-county officers, town officers, merchants and farm ers. While I owe no explanation to Mr. McMullan I feci that In justice to Mr. Small, after being censored by Mr. McMullan, who seems to feel his birthright has been deprived him, that 1 hsd much stronger en dorsement than he supposed, or Mr. Small'n Influence would not have been secured. I prefer leaving the matter of party service to be spoken of by my democratic friends, who were voters when Jack was an In. fant, rather than blowing my own horn In public print. I do not care for newspaper controversy nor do I rxpect to reply further to any arti cle he may wTlte. Mr. McMullan's statement Jn ref erence to Dr. Per die ton was like many others he made, without foun dation, but It's a habit of his, that When he is politically disappointed he has to "write some one up" as he did Judge Bond In the reoeat cam paign. The motives he assigns to Con? gressman Small are so absurd that I have do doubt he will reply as Judge Bond did. Watch J. H. McMullan, Jr., and see if he hasn't a motive for hla ar ticle, for he may be trying to lay a foundation to boom another candi date for Congress. Yours to serve. M. F. BOND.
