Get it out of your head that there

who stalled in the woods with
practically nothing some years ago;
and by hard work and attention to
business these same men have become

drive fine automobiles and they have

Mr. Paul Quattlebaum Takes v
The Herald to Task About
Recent Item.
j a
Conway, S. C., Feb. 4, 191i). !'
Horry Herald:
City. .
Gentlemen:?
In your issue last week you made
the statement that the Town pumping
motor was burned out on account j
of low voltage at the Power House, j
Some time ago in one issue you made
a reasonable statement as to the
cause of the fire at Courthouse, in j
your next issue changed this statei
(
ment and laid the cause of the fire
to the electric wiring.. | \
We do not know how much you .
realize that such statements as
these are very damaging to our busi- *.
ncss; in any event you are familiar
with the fact that you are respon- (
sible for any statement that refloc.s j
or. the good name of any person 01
business, and we do not see why you
would make such statements that you ,
cannot support by facts. At other
times in the past you have seen fit c
to make statements reflecting on our \
business. We cannot sec that it does
you the slightest bit of good, but they
are very damaging to us. We are
inclined to attribute these acts more
t? a lack of thought than intentional
j injury, and trust this statement from '
us will be sufficient to correct the
grievance.
As to the Town motor: You, wo,
nor any one else, is warranted in
i.saying why it burned out. The fact
is, against our advice and urgent
protest, the pumping station was located
at a point where of nccesstity
it must operate without an attendant.
No piece of machinery can do
this safely. No one being present,
no one knows what happened. However,
with sickness at my home wo
were up and can smakc the statement
that the voltage was not low.
Further, the motor was provide 1
with automatic under voltage protec'
tion. The motor had no over load
protection. A house had been built
around the motor as near air tight as
| they could build it to prevent froczi
ing. With cold weather outside and
the warm water inside the room was
saturated with moisture. The ceilings
and walls were hanging in
beads of water. Of necessity the
electrical apparatus was also permeated
with this moisture?a condition

shipped. The motor was only on
a short while when it burned out.
Not knowing the cause, we have no
statement to make to why it burned
out, but it seems that you have positive
information on the subject.
As to the Court House: There is
not so much as the slightest indication
that this fire was caused by the
j wiring. It would have been very
strange if wires nailed up for fifjteon
years could have suddenly found
I some way to get together. The fuses
I were not blown which shows positive
'ly that no short circuit occurred. If
Iihe two wires had touched for the
smallest fraction of a second the
fuses would have blown. Not even
the deluge of water was able to
make a short. We have since torn
, this work out and find that it was an
, impossibility for any two wires to
j .uve come in contact, as each wire

the same joist. In every respect
the party who wired the job
did the work according to rules and
in a very workmanly manner, using

firing even if it had been elefectiv",

Regarding the burning of the motor
owned by the town, the Herald representative
applied to town officials
to find out what hael caused it. And
the Her,aid published what was tedd
it as the cause, without any thought
o! whose fault it was. In view oT
the facts stated in Mr. Quattlcbaum's
letter, no blame could possibly attach
to the lighting company. Furthermore,
the Herald had no thought
of doing anybody an injustice and
was not in position to lay the blame
at the company's door, even if the
voltage did run low at the town
iimp house. It is certainly a misV'ke
that the Herald has seen fit in
times past to make statements lefloct
ing on the business of the lighting
company. On the other hand this paper
has consistently stood for the j
growth and success of not' only the
lighting and power company, hut for
every other enterprise in either the
town or the county. Mr. Quattlcbaum

as to how some particular

lar case. At no time has this paper
had everything but the best intentions
in regard to these matters,
and always and especially good feeling
for Mr. Ouattlehanm ?n/i
company. The Herald is glad to
publish his letter and correct any
wrong impression th?at was created.
