CARD FROM MR. AIKEN.
In Reference to Mr. E. II. Anil's Re
port to the Newberry Chamber
of Commerce.
Herald ami N'ews, Ne.wberry, S. C
^Mr. hditor: I am somewhat surpris
ed at I Ire report Mr. \). II. Anil mad
to |He Xew.berry chamber of coin
meice upon 11i.s visit to AVashiagtor
especially at the statement that h
lonnd me "very indifferent " |o tli
Newberry public bui|?Ti11?_ . In vie\
of I he painstaking courtesy I show
ed Mr. A ii 11 while he was in Was'i
injiton. spending <m entire mornin:
personally escorting him to variou
points in the city to which iie wi.she
t(> go on business, [ ran hardly l><
lieve that lie intended to do me a
injustice by making a report wliic
seriously rcllccts upon ill.'. I.ul, how
over unintentional, what lie says o
my indifference and of my general at
lilndr- I..wards |,is appearance o
lailnr,' to appear before the publi
bu i Id i ii-: committee puts me in a fa Is
lit; hi.
Mr. Anil came to Washington, a
iie gave me to understand, for tli
put pose ot getting a refund" from tli
post-oHice department on the Soull
Carolina Pythian. wliicli lie puhlislu ' lid
upon the mailing of which Ii
paid a higher rate than that allowei
by other publications, lie asked m
to <jo with him to see the proper otli
eial at the post olliee department
which I readily consented to do am
made an appoint men! v illi him I
meet at the |iosl otiice department a
')..{() sharp. I lie next morning, lie sa i.
tnat while he was here, inasmuch as ;
nuni'ber of gentlemen from otlie
places were .yoiug to appear be for
the public buildings commit Ic in )|t
inter,'st of their cities, |te would lik
lo assist me jn any way by going be
fore the commit tee in the interest o
Newberry. I'o ibis f readily agreed
/ but told him that the reason I ha
_J,()^ suggested to the chamber o
f commerce of Newberry, or to tlios
? good people, to send a special com
mil tee up here was that in my jud?
incut such a commit Ice would not ac
coinpliish anything and that 1 did no
think that 1 ought to ask Newberr
to go (o the unnecessary exipense o
sending a committee here which, no
only in my judgment but in the jud"
incut ot most members of emigres
here, could not possibly do anything
towards getting the public building
At the same time. 1 told him I woul
take him before the committee th
next day and would guarantee that h
got a hearing and that 1 myself wont
also make a statement urging th
passage of my bill, although m
statement at that time would a Is
'have been unnecessary. 1 had talke
with members ot the commit lee o
public buildings as to the advisibilit
ol inviting delegations here, but wn
lold in every instance that such a d<
legation could do nothing. lint w
made the appointenient, Mr. Anil an
T, to come bclore the committee Hi
next morning as soon as lie had a
tended to his Pythian matter at tli
post office department.
At !)..'{<) exactly 1 was at I lie di
partineut. where T waited till a ftf
ten o'clock for Mr. Anil. Finally 1
came and wc saw the third assistai
postmaster general, Mr. Lawsh
ith him Mr. Anil had a conferem
ol more than an hour. T then sui
geste.l lo Mr. Anil that we lake
ear and hurry on lo the capitol I
meet the committee. lie wanted I
go first to the Southern railway ofllci
lo see about a pass. 1 went with hi)
and we saw Ceueral Counsel Tho,
ami also Assistant fieneral Conns
Northrop in their respective otlic<
and a good deal of time was taken u
there. At the conclusion of this
!< "
M..
? again suggested lliat wo hurry on to
tlio capilol. lint again lit' wan tod to
"'<> lo a (try goods store to make some
purchases. 111? asked mo whore to go.
r~ I made^sevoral suggestions t-o him and
wont with him to a dry goods store
_ where ho spent considerable valuable
time making the purchases. At last
lie was ready to go to tljc capitol. W'o
- wont to the committee mom on public
buildings and, of course, found that it
10 was too lale, as 1 had believed: the
,f committee had adjourned. Mr. Anil
;| expressed no disappointment and I
d concluded that lie did not care about
)- it. Hut by chance we met the chairis
man of the public 'buildings commity
loo, Mr. Hartholdt, of Missouri, to
,1 whom I introduced Mr. Aull. Mr.
Uart'holdt mentioned some Aulls in
St. Louis, where he lives, and* Mr.
Anil was very much interested. T invited
both of them to lake lunch
ft with me, but Mr. Hartiiol.lt declining?
, on accoirtit of pressing matters, Mr.
, | Anil and I went alone. After lunch
j Mr. Aull wanted In no a'jain to see
Mr. Hart!i?>1 dt to discuss the Aulls. of j
! St. I.ouis.
Now, that's what happened. 1 j
, should, of course, have been glad of I
I anything MV. Aull could have said to
j l!i?- committee or to Mr. Hartholdt I
about the need of a public buildiiu*'at
Newberry, as I have been verv much
interested in gelling the appropriation
and while, as I tol l him, mem,
bers of th,. committee had already
told me thai il could do little or no
good, I tried to got him before the
' commit toe.
e
At III is time 1 believe that my hi ?!
v appropriating .100,000 for a post of- I
tico ;it X.MViberrv will pass at this ses
sion.
"\onra very respect fully
I Wyall Aiken,
j House of Representatives,

,, March 2.">th, 1008.

A Word to Mr. Aiken.
' j "I" view of t lie painstaking cour
i lesy I showed lo Mr. Aull while he
''was in Washington'' "I am somo?'
j what surprised at the renort Mr, K.
'ill. Aull made lo the Xowberrv chamj
her ol commerce, says Mr. Aiken,
s " Especially at the statement lliat he
e ' >nml me "very indifferent'' to the
e Newberry public building."
11 j Mr. Aiken also thinks my report
;11 retlects seriously" upon him. This
'' is ver\ much regretted. It was uoi
l* j intended to reflect upon any one. I
simply staled I he facts as they were
j impressed upon me and surely Mr.
j Aiken would not expect me to do ol'.iIjerwisc
even though lie "showed" me
11 | "painstaking courtesy."
' I Mr. Aiken should know. if he
1 , knows plain Knglish when lie sees ii.
]t!iat I never said that I "found" him
1 j very iiiilitleroiit lo the Newberry
(> | public building." On (ho contrary
(> ! ! said. ' * M r. A iken s;ii.| that lie had
'' | :iil the informal ion thai he needed
- | from Postmaster Pnrcell. and thai if
1 I any allowance was made for his disIricl
for public buildings he would
1 give the preferonco lo Newberry."
I I also repeated this stalement in
' The llerahl and News in my notes of
the trip and added thai I was sure
Mr. Aiken would do what ho could to
- secure Hie building for Newberry,
t That could no! be twisted into inV
difference on his part as lo the Newf
berry public building.
t 1 did slate, however, and repeat
here thai Mr. Aiken was indifferent
as to any delegation appearing before
the committee and 1 am sure Mr. Aiken
will not deny thai ho staled deleft
gations did no! amount to a blank an.l
when I explained that I thought we
0 might submit some fads as to Nowd
berry and so on he said he had all
those from Mr. Pnrcell and that he
.V was keeping in touch with him every
? week. That I considered as indifferenee
and rather opposition lo any deII
legation appearing before commit Iocs.
S He made no arrangements for mo to
lS appear before the committee and in
f his recital of his " painstaking conr(>
j lesy * where iie says he constantly
H suggested that we ouuht lo hurry to
10 | the capitol to appear before lire com'
mittoe is the first I have heardNd'
k% . t hose suggest ions.
If this places Mr. Aiken in a
&- "false light" ho has only himself to
?r t blame.
re ff MV. Aiken holds as he says he
it does thai delegations do harm in ape.
| poaring before com in it Ives and ho was
in possession of all the facts neces*
sary to got his bill through, of course
a no one would desire lo appear beto
lore I lie committee. Clertainly f
lo would not, and 1 was not offended
?s because I did not appear but 1 had to
in make report.
m As to the "painstaking eourlesy"
el I to which Mr. Aiken refers it is a now
\s j code of ethics, it seems to me, bvj
ip j which one gentleman extends courles1
, ios to another and then exploits them
