C. c, Mcdonald Calls Latters Remarks "Con. temptible Insinuations" MR. CHAS. ROOT GAVE THE OPTIONS TO THE CITY Mr. Drewry Considers Mr. McDonald's Remarks Beneath Notice of a Gentleman-Covert and Uufounded Insinuations. To the Editors: Mr. McDonald in his card of yes terday says "he was surprised that Mr. Drewry did not mention 'his lit tle ift.' the city lot." In the first place, the Hoard had not decided to buy the city lot, nor any other, and neither that nor any other location was involved in the election: and be sides McDonald's insinuations in re gard to the city lot, which insinua tions involved another gentleman as well as mvself, were so contemptible. that I considered them beneath the no tice of u gentleman. I give below a copy of the option taken in the name of the city, also a statement from Mr. l!oot in regard to it. both of which explain themselves. This is the only option which I have taken either directly or indirectly, and is the only one with w hich 1 have been connected in any way. manner, shape or form, and this was done in niv judgment and that of others for the best interests of the city. There was an option given by Mrs. Tucker to the city, which was read by Mr. A. A. Thompson at a. meeting of the HoamPof Aldermen: this is the only other option of which I have any knowledge. I make this statement for fear some decent white man may attach a shadow of belief to the covert and un founded insinuations which have been made bv Mr. McDonald. JOHN C. DP.K.WliV. Knleigh. N. ('.. January :!0. 10"0. John ('. Drewry. Esq.. linleigh. N. C. Dear Sir: lleferring to our conver sation it few days since in regard to the City Lot, 1 will say that 1 will give the crfy an option on same, at $111,111111.110 this option to hold good lor twelve months. In this matter I not only represent, myself but Joseph (iales. Esq., who owns two-fifths of the prope rty . Vcrv trulv vours. 'CHAItl.KS HOOT. The statement made above by Mr. John C. Drewry is correct in everyj liarticular. It will be seen from the, option itself that it was given to ine city and not to Mr. Drewry. There never was any understanding in any way otherwise than the option indi cates. It was simply a clear business pro posit ion. ( II A I! LICS HOOT. A MUSICAL RECITAL Young Women Students.
