MR. JOHNSON NAILS REPORT.
Statement Thal He Voted to Delay De?
livery of Mall is False.
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.
