Editor Advertiser: I am reliably informed the country people are being told that I voted to delay the delivery of their mail twenty-four hours. Such statement is absolutely and unquali fiedly false. No man in the fourth dis trict of South Carolina has ever taken more interest in securing good mail fa cilities than I have. It is true that I voted against giving certain railroads $167,728.26 as a bonus in addition to the regular pay provided by law for the transporation of mail. The subsidy does pot expedite, nor would its withdrawal, delay, the delivery of mail one minute on any rural route in the fourth con gressional district. I investigated very carefully and very patiently the subsidy matter, and my vote against it will meet the approval of any honest man who will take the trouble to learn the facts. Very respectfully, Jos. T. Johnson W. Herbert Ruff, Jr., teller of the Bank of Ridgeway, recently resigned his position and shortly thereafter left Ridgeway, ostensibly for a western ctyy Where he claimed he had a new position. After his departure an investigation re vealed the fact that the bank's entire capital stock, $25,000 bad been stolen. Young Ruff's father, who is president of the bank, put up$20,000of the short age and friends of the bank raised the balance. and WHISKEY HABITS cured at home with out pnin.
