CHOI Mrv Editor: I wish to eorrect a false report "circulated by' Mr. McD. Ray since his return from the session of the Legislature in regard to my position on his road bill. I understand he is circulating the report that I agreed to stop my opposition . to the bill if . he would appoint my son Supervi sor. He started that report in Ral eigh and I called his attention to it and told him in the presence of Mr! M. L. Shipman that there was no truth in it that I did not have a son who would accept the position. I further told him I had never thought of such a thing and it never had been men tioned to me.: After" my denial Mr. Ray has returned to Hen dersonville and persists in telling this slanderous falsehood. . I op posed the road Road Bill for the reason it was against the wishes and best interest of all of the people, being in its working fea ture very much of the style of the Czar of Russia having one man power who could dictate to the people regardless of their wishes. Mr. Ray: is making an effort to impeach my honesty and in tegrityvby his talk to the citizens of Henderson : county. I now all the people in Hendejrsoh coun ty ana tney Know me. j , nave served them in official capacity and have never before . been ac cused of being: tricky. I make this statement txTshow . the peo ple the falsiyof his report I was working for the people at their request in my fight' against his Road Law. Respectfully, A. CANNON. Mr. E. i. Durant. Mr. E. W. Durant who will undoubtedly be the next Collector of the Port of Charlestohr , Jias one of the most beautiful homes in Flat Rock, which is noted for its fine country places, where he spends a large portion of. each year. The Charleston News and Ob server remarks: It appears that E. W. Durant Jr. , is to be Dr. Cram's succes sor as collector of the port of Charleston. Naturally every one thirsts for informaintion about him. We would call up Deacon Hemphill by long-distance 'phone if necessay, but he has already hastened forward with the goods. Collector Durant is a Minneso- .tan who came to Charleston 7 years ago. He is vice president of one of the largest lumber con cerns in the South, and connect ed with many other leading Charleston industries. He has caught the true spirit of the community." On every possi ble occassion he uses Deacon Hemphill' favorite shibboleth "There is no plae like Charles ton;" thereby endearing himself to every one, but especially to the Deacon. The son of "a mighty fine old gentleman" who was a Democrat before 1896, he himself has always - been a Re publican. . And this from the Charleston News and Courier: "If all Mr. Taft's appoint ments "in the South come up to the Durant sample, the people of this part of the country could not ask for anything better." He is honest, he is capable,-he is faith ful to the Constitution, the three tests which were laid down by Mr. Jefferson as the only safe rule by which . public o-Ticerjs should be judged. He IS U,vi vo ly engaged in business pursuits, has made large investriunts of his own money -in this town and State, is a hard and intelligent worker for the commercial envel opment of the town. . i M.
