Another Reader
Remembers Taft
||H. B. Clemmons Writes In
From Ashland, Ky., To
Add His Verification Of
Excursion Visit To South
port
In last weeks paper a letter
. from A. E. McKeithan, assistant
to the vice-president of the
Southern Railroad System, in At
lanta, Ga., argued strongly for
November 9, 1909, as having been
the date when President William
Howard Taft visited Wilmington
and Southport.
Confirmation of the date nam
ed by Mr. McKeithan came in
this week in a letter from H. B.
Clemmons, of Ashland, Kentucky.
Writing the Rovin' Reporter, Mr.
Clemmons said:
“November 9, 1909, as stated
by A. E. McHeithan of Atlanta,
is exactly right as the date of
1 President Taft’s visit. A marker
I bearing this date now stands in!
■ Wilmington at approximately!
where the president stood and I
made his speech. This was at |
; 3rd and Princess street at, the'
i entrance to the Water Depart- I
“ ment in the city hall.
I was not fortunate enough!
1 to see him laugh, but that all- :
1 over smile that he came to town
1 with remained until he left and
was easy to observe reflected in
i the smiles of the people.
“When he said: ‘instead of 8
; ancl !0c cotton, I’m for 15c cot-1
ton,’ a roar went up, for it was
principally a cotton and naval
stores audience that greeted him
in Wilmington.
“Being a former Brunswick
counlian also, I had a peculiar in
terest in the, old Chas. M. Whit
lock, the steamer on Town Creek.
This interest may be difficult to
explain. Eventually this steamer
was taken up the North East
River by its owner, Captain Sher
man, then I lost its trail Yes,
Supply was a distant place in
those days, I was there.”
The first school of forestry in
the United States, first headed
by Gifford Pinchot, was formed
on what is now the Vanderbilt
Estate, just outside of Asheville,
N. C.

RECORD
In making the race for tire Democratic nomina
tion as State Senator, one of the qualifications which
I offer is experience gained while serving as a mem
ber of the two previous sessions of the House of Re
presentatives.
Here is my record on five of the most important
pieces of legislation which came before the General
Assembly:
1. $250,060.00 For School Building Construction
In This County
From the opening day of the 1949 General Assembly I was deeply
interested and actively identified with the Educational program. I was
one of the signers of the original bill, and fought for its passage.
2. Sales Tax Exemption On Fuel For Curing Tobacco &
Sweet Potatoes
I helped to originate this legislation which has resided in substan
tial savings for many of our farmers in this county, and 1 fought for its
final adoption by the State Legislature.
3. Better Schools & Roads Bond Election
When the time for the Better Schools & Road Bond Election came,
our people were almost unanimously in favor of the program. I was one
of the members of the 1949 General Assembly who helped to make it
possible to bring this issue before the people. The most difficult part of
this battle was fought in the Legislature, and 1 am one of the ones who
helped put it through.
4. $100,000 Per Year For Veterans Service Officers For
The State
This was my own bill, drawn and introduced by me to help our poor
er counties provide a Veterans Service Officer to assist ex-service men
' and members of their families with problems arising out of their con
nection with the armed forces. It was the intent of this bill to make avai
lable $1,000.00 per year for each county to help pay for this office. Al
ready this has effected a savings of more than $2,000.00 for Brunswick
county.
5. Repeal Of The Auto Inspection Law
This was a haphazard combination of regulations which was work
ing unfair hardships on many of our people, and 1 felt that some relief
was due them. 1 introduced and fought for the passage of the bill to re
peal this law.
My record speaks for itself. If you will nominate and elect me to the
State Senate, I will continue to introduce and support legislation which
is for the best interest of the citizens of Brunswick county.
