Lawrence, special agent for the comptroller general's office, has returned io the city after makiDg settlement with the officials in the counties of New berry, Laurens, Edgefield and Sa luda. Out of over forty thousand dollars of taxes to be collected in Edgefield, the treasurer has suc ceeded in getting it all but about $400. Mr. Lawrence says this re cord has not been surpassed in the history of the State. The treasurer is Mr. J. C. Caughman aud the auditor is Mr. J. B. HaltiwaDger. Columbia Register.

E. B. HART. Our Presbyterian Churches. We clip the following from the . Walhalla Courier: At the request of the Committee of Home Miesions the churches surrendered two months of Rev. W. T. Matthews' time to be put in the Edgefield group of churches. He went down there the first of June with the intention of preach ing oue month then and putting in the other month later, but after wards decided to put in both mouths while there. Last week we made mention of his return and this week we will pub lish a brief outline of his work, which information Mr. Matthews kindly furnishes us. The field had greatly run down and could nos support a pastor. Meetings were held at Edgefield, Johnston sod Trenton. Thirteen persons united with the Presbyterian church and among them were some of the most prominent citizens and business men, In this respect the field was greatly strergthened aud helped. Honor to Whom Honor. Mr. W. H. Lawrence, in the Co lumbia Register, has the following to say of Edgefield officials: Your notice of my report of col ecting taxes for Edgefield county lor 1895-6 fiscal year, does not give all credit to whom credit belongs. Under our law for the charging and and collecting of tuxes, the audi tor, who does his duty, is clearly entitled to most credit because he alone is charged with the duty of making up the books from which the treasurer collects. This col-1 lection evidently shows that the auditor, by co-operation no doubt with the treasurer and sheriff, eliminated nearly or quite all errors, double entries or non est entries irom the tax duplicate for this particular year, and whatever of unpaid taxes went into execu tion, the sheriff and his deputies must have worked earnestly to collect same within time prescribed by law. I am sure the treasurer did his duty, and well, but he can not be entitled to any more credit, perhaps as not as much praise as auditor or sheriff. All deserve praise, and should be proud of their record. Just Opened at Jas. ST. Cobb's. Summer Organdies, Sc., 10c and 12>?c. White, Black and Tan Duck, at 10c. Colored Duck for Shirts, at 12)?c.

LET US ELECT OUR OWN PEOPLE ! To the People of Edgefieid County. If right is to prevail, if justice is to be done, if th* Constitution and the laws of this land ara lo govern this country, we the people of Edgefield county are entitled lo one State Senator from this county and three members of the House of Repr?sentatives, and are e rual in ever}' other respect in political rights to the citizens of every other county in the Stale. In every other instance in the formation of new counties in this State, (and there have been sev Bial), elections have been held to fill the vacancies created in both the new and the old counties, ex cept in Edgefield. We have been cut up, slashed about, and robbed Df our territory, but with her his tory, traditions and glories of the past we stil 1 have left the proud name of old Edgefield. We know our rights and propose to have them . . know the reason whv. Wr . " a county are entitled to as ^uch representation, accord, ing to the Constitution, as any other county in the State, and we accept no other basis than a basis of equality. We want that or nothing. * Taxation without representation is a tyranical wrong that this gov ernment, in its incipiency, was born fighting, and its unjust prin ciples are as adverse to the true 8entimouts of liberty, and as ob noxious to tho honest patriotism of the descendants of to-day as they were to the ancestors in tho times of yore, who now sleep the sleep of a heroic dead, on the battle fields of this great country, from Bunker Hill to- Charleston harbor, and though the King be against us we do not propose to be wronged without protest. The iron heel of oppression will never be placed upon the necks of Edge field people with the humble sub mission and obedience of slaves. The Constitution of this State, which those high in authority have sworn on their oaths to rule the people by, says in these words : "The Senate shall be composed ot one member from each county." Art. 3, Sec. 6: "If any person chosen a member of either house shall refuse to qualify and take his seat, or shall resign, die, de part the State, accept any disqual ifying office or position, or become otherwise disqualified to hold his seat, a writ of election shall be is sued by the President of the Sen ate or Speaker of the House of Representatives, as the case may be, for the purpose of filling the vacancy thereby occasioned for the remainder of the term for which the person so refusing to qualify, resigning, dying, departing the State, or becoming disqualified, was elected to serve." Now, where is the member "from" Edgefield? Mr. Gaines ie not from Edgefield. He is ''from'1 Greenwood county, a county with its own officers elected and in the discharge of their respective dutief as complete and independent ci the county of Edgefield as is the county of Charleston, and Mr Gaines has no more rieht to repre sent Edgefield in the State Senat? than a citizen from the county oJ Charleston has. Mr. Gaines an< Mr. Yeldell cannot vote in th county of Edgefield and they hav< no right to hold an office here. Now, the opinion from the Attor ney General's office admits tba Mr. Gaines is a qualified elector o Greenwood county and not o Edgefield county, but states tha "this change was not voluntarily made by Mr. Gaines." This is no so, for Mr. Gaines has been work ing for years to get in the ne\ county of Greenwood. But wha has voluntary got to do with it It looks to me like when a man i in a certain place, it matters no whether he voluntarily walks ou of it or is put out of it by opera tion of law he is not "in it," an the place must be vacant. Accord ing to this new doctrine of "volur tary" aud "involuntar " vacatiuf if a Senator should commit BU cide, which would be "voluntary death, the President of the Senal could forthwith order an electio to fill the vacancy, but if the Set ator should involuntarily die, tin is be much opposed to dying, as ; the usual case with a Senator, the and upon this event, the Presider of the Senate oould not order a election to fill the vacancy withou waiting to get a vote of tho Senal to see whether or not the place wi vacant. I think that this opinio that come from the Attorney Gei eral's office must have been writte by the porter in that office. This opinion expressly state that it does not decide the matti or give any opinion as to whethi or not there is a vacancy in ti senatorship of Edgefield, it doi not say but what there really is vacancy, but advises the Preside] of the Senate to let the Senate a in this matter. Well, unless v have a representative there who going to bring this matter up b fore the Senate? And if it brought up what will be the ui if we win we will have no one represent us there. Would it n have been much better to have ? lowed us to have legally elected man at the same time at the p: mary for the nomination of a Ur ted States senator on the 31st August inst? By this course R Gaines would not have lost any of his rights if he is entitled to the place, and tbe people of Edgefield county would have been placed in a position to try their rights be fore the Senate if that be the proper tribunal, but by this opinion the interest and rights of a whole county is subrogated to the person al interest and greed of one man. The secret of tbe whole thing is that the two Jacks they already hold suit their hand and they do not want to make another draw. It is not the object of this article to argue the points of law in this case, I propose to do that later ou before the courts, but the object of this article is to suggest to the peo ple a plan to secure our rignts. There were three shots that I in tended to fire at them, thinking that I might be able to bring them down with one out of the three. The first I have fired, aud I did not get them, this was the letter to Mr. McSweeney. The second shot at them will be a mandamus proceeding in the courts, that is, I will make an application to the court for a writ of mandamus against the President of the Senate to compel him to issue the writ of . election, or show cause, if he eau, why he should not do so. But on account of the delay incident to i proct .^ingp in' court, I do not 1 think I eau get the matter deter- e "?nined before the 31st of August, , and in case the coutts fail to give us relief, then I waut to be in a } position to fire one more parting J shot at them, aud that is this: I ] take the position that the senator- y ship from Edgefield is vacant, and j one seat in the House of Repre sentatives from this county, and I 1 want some good meu to announce 1 themselves as candidates and inn j for these offices, and be elected/by , a majority of the votes cast in the ^ coming primary. The people will have to go to the polls anyway and it will not be any additional j trouble to vote for our own repre sentatives. If we give our men a good majority, it is true it will not be technically a legal election, but it will express the will of our peo ple. All that it will lack will be the writ of election, aud with our record showing that we have done all that we could to get that, and it is no fault of ours that we haven?t.got it, I believe that each house will waive this irregularity and seat our representatives. So I hope some good meu will come out and run for these posi tions, and I take the pleasure and liberty, without his knowledge or consent, of nominating for the senatorship from Edgefield Dr. Robert McKie, of Colliers, who is a Christian gentleman aud able mau, and not an o?T?ce seeker, and I think that he will make us a good Senator and hope he will con sent to run. Of course, we feel very grateful towards tho Hon. J. M. Gaines and the Hon. W.H. Yuldell for their seeming interest in our wel fare and wau ting to save us the trouble of an extra election, but it would have been very little addi tional trouble to vote for our own representatives whiln we were voting fora United States senator , and then when it comes to princi ple we do not count the cost. Es i pecially do we feel grateful to wards the Hon. W. H. Yeldell for his interest in our welfare. He sought the world over for a better job and having failed he uow feels it ?3 his patriotic duty to come back and squat on Edgefield. Well, while we appreciate the broad pa triotism of the distiuguished gen tlemen, we do not need him in our business. These renegade statesmen and tramp politicians must shake their heels of Edgefield dirt and crawl in their own native holes. The only consolation we have is that we have been cut off from them, and we do not propose to be robbed of that coiiHolatiou. M. P. WELLS. Johnson's Chill and Fever Tonic Cures Fever In One Day. ROAD WORKING. Some New Thoughts on an Old Subject. Mr. EDITOR: Born of necessity there is bound to bo a change ir the road working system. Oui roads, generally speaking, are ? shame to the county. More espO' cially cnn this shame be appliec to the westorn and southwester! portion of Edgefield. The plan '. propose, although not altpgethe materialized, is this: Let a law bi passed, for Edgefield county a least, making it imperative upoi each and every land hoi der to worl or have worked all roads, both pub lie and settlement roads, runninj through sn id laud-holder's prem ?868. Should a road be aline, then le those who own the land on eacl side of the road work the road not forcing any one to work an; specified lime, but simply requir roads to be kept in goodconditior Let ? fine be imposed on any on who refuses or fails t:> keep thei roads in good condition. Let the county chain gang kee all bridges in gond repair an macadamize the worst places i the roads that are the most trave ed. By th's plan I believe rao?tpe< ?le would take a pride in having ?ood roads on their premises and ?"ie with pach other in seeing who aas the best roads. "Every man sweep before his )wn door and the streets will be ilean." What will be the result in ten or fifteen years? Doubtless ;ood roads everywhere and a groat leal of macadamized puolic high ways. This is a progressive age md we should progress. Civiliza tion is known and judged by its roads. How much better are our roads ;han they were fifty years ago? By the above plan what will be ;he improvement fifty years hence? Many settlement roads are travel id as much as the public roads, md there are numbers of farms hrough which no public road 'uns, hence the requirement and necessity to have settlement roads vorked also. To show the necessity of a hange in the road law I will men tion this as an example: Part of the public highway lead ng from here to Augusta has not seen worked this year unless work id within the last fifteen days. People went six miles out of the vay to avoid this road. The pub ic road leading from hore to the Red Oak Grove church was not vorked this year until court week ,n Angust, and is still almost im passable. I would be glad to hear from others on the road question for 'tis a vital question and con cerns us more than the tariff or the "Greenwood gentlemen." I hope this question will be ag itated by the people and by the legislators, the merits and de' merits of the above plan discussed aired and modeled into a good law. Dunghills fight better on their own domain and I think road workers would work better on their own stamping ground. J. C. WHATLEY. Faifa, S. C., Aug. 13.
