Communication Editor Pickens Sentinel: The following communidbtion has been sent to the Anderton Farmers' Tribune for publication:' Editor Farmers, Tribune, Anderson, S. C: My attention has been directed to an article that recently appeared in your paper m which you call upon H1on. W yatt Aiken to tell about a trip he and another gentleman took to Highlands, N. C., last summer, "in company with two ladies from Washington." As the article is a reflection on me as well as Mr. Aiken, since I am the other gentleman referred to, though not by name, I will ask that you publish the facts in the case, which are as follows: About a year ago, in response to an invitation from me, Mr. Aiken came up to Walhalla direct from -his home at Abbeville. At Seneca his train was held some minutes for a train from At lanta. On its arrival the two ladies re ferred to (whom I afterwards learned were from Mississippi), accompanied by their children, got off the train and inquired the way to Highlands, where they were going to spend the summer. Mr. Aiken, or perhaps Major Stribling, who was present, very courteously told them to go on'to Wal halla, which was the best and most direct route to High lands. The next morning P. S. Shook, proprietor of the Walhalla livery stable, sent the ladies, and their children to Highlands in a carriag.. The same af ternoon Mr. Aiken, Charlie Lyons and myself wont on a two days' trip to Jo CMstasee which is in a4 opposite direction fron A~ighlanidg. On our return to Walhalla Mr. C. F. Brown, contractor on the Walhalla Highlands auto mail route, which Mr. Aiken a short while previously had in duced the Post Office Department to estabIsh, came to me and begged that I persuade Mr. Aiken to go over the route, see the roads, and make an ef fort to get his contract price increased, stating that he would take us both to Highlands and back free of charge. We finally prevailed on Mr. Aiken to make the trip, which we did the next morning, going in an auto, Mr. Brown driving the car. At Highlands we stop. ped at the Edwards House. After dig-, ner Mr. Aiken decided. that as. we were so near to Cashier's Valley, where his old friend, Judge Benet, lived, and'who he had, not seen in years, he. would' rutt down to 4ee him. By the merest chance Mr. Aiken and I met these ladies ott the street as we were preparing 'to leave for Cashier's. As there was room in the car we invited them to take the trip with us, knowing that. they would enjoy this mountian trip, which Is al most unsurpassed. They accepted the invitation and Mr. Brown again drove the car. We returned to highlands be fore dark, the ladies getting out at the Hall House and Mr.A Aiken and I went to the Edwards House, occupying the same room, where we remained till we came home. The ladies referred to were to' all ap pearances refined and cultured, and it is my belief that any insinuation against their character is a foul slander. While they were unknown to me-as I am sure they were to Mr. Aiken, except as casual acquaintances-I carnnot believe that, if you could have met them, you would have connected them with any in sinuation of wrong-doing. Finally, allow me to say that 'the practice of besmirchin gpublic men has become so common that many unjust and false accusations are allowed to go unanswered. 'In this instance, howev er, I know the facts and say unhesitat ingly that the insinuations are false. I am pretty well known in Oconee coun ty, also in Anderson, where I was rais ed, also up and down the Blue Ridge Railroad, where I served for years, and believe that my statement of the affair will not be questioned. I would not warp or cover the truth for my best friend, and I, emphatically denounce as false the insinuations contained ini the article referred to. N. L. FANT. I hereby certify that I have read the above statement made by Mr. Fant, in which several references are made to me, and the same is absolutely correct in every particular. C. F. BROWN Contractor for Highlands -Route at'that time. This July 10, 1916.-Adv.
