Assuming that you added the string to the list correctly, the
problem is probably that you used ~ in the directory name.  The
`load' command doesn't expand tildes in directory names when
doing searches for Lisp files.  Use expand-file-name to expand
the tilde, i.e.

   (setq load-path (cons (expand-file-name "~/e-lisp") load-path))
