A Statement From Supervisor Edmunds. To the Peepie of Edgefield Coun ty: Having read the able charge of Judge Bowman to the grand jury and the presentment of the grand jury of Edgefield county and after "ruminatii.g thereupon," as Bill Arp would bay, I feel it my duty as an officer of eaid county to give an account of myself. First, let me state that I have di vided the handful of prisoners left between Mr. G. P. Sawyer and Mr. M. A. Walker. Mr. Sawyer is sta tioned at Shaw's Mill while Mr. Walker is at Republican church. Since Christmas we have had five convicts, whose time have expired and two who have been pardoned and we only got two out of the March court. So you can see that some other means of working pu blic roads and doing public work will have to be resorted to if this state of affairs continues. 1 had already visited th? bridges mentioned by the grand jury and am already making arrange ments for their repairs. I note the grand jury's resolution to vs iden roads, lt is and has been my pur pose to start two gangs. One to doing emergency work over coun ty and the other to commence to widen roads beginning at county seat and going out for a few miles and then at other towns in county doing the same. But I fancy there will be several Supervisors to fol low me befor? all the roads in the county will be widened with pres ent system and the piesent facilities for working. With the conditions that exist in Edgefield county to-day it will only be a short time before we will not have any chain gang at all. Just one day last week one ol' our best work ing prisoners was pardoned and there are petitions in existence for the pardon for three or four more that I know of. How why is thie.? Is it because people believe the prisoners are bc ing ill treated and poorly fed? If eo, I iuvitc them to the camp to see for themselves. Or is it because the people are short of labor in their fields, and that is their only resort to get hands? Just a few suggestions and I will close* this rigamarule. First, let rae suggest that the people in the different communities cultivate and manifest more public spirit like the people of lower Meriwether have done in the past two weeks. By coming together and helping to improve their roads free of charge. Second, That the white people of the county will assist thc Super visor by finding gullies in their fields in which to dump their trash, brush, briars, logs and rocks, in stead of in the road ditches, there by tilling up their, own gullies and setting an example to thc more ig norant race, because every white man ought to know that il is against the law. Third, Let. we office holders ol' Edgefield county be more particu lar in the purchase of supplies for our office and only purchase such as we are obliged to have-and in giv ing out matters for publication that we comply strictly with the law. Fourth, Thai the grand jurors and citizens ol' Edgefield county can well, in as much as we have an extra officer to pay SGU.00 per month, that they assist this officer by notifying the Sheriff of any lawlessness that may be going on in their community, and not, it' the sheriff or deputy should hap pen along, to point them to some lawlessness going on "'over yonder'* when the same lawlessness is going on, in their own community, proba bly on their own plantation and they arc aware ol' it. Fifth, Let the people who have heretofore cursed and abused hm excellency, Gov. Blease for pardon ing prisoners cease to "cuss" the governor while they have petitions in iheir own pockets for pardons for criminals themselves. Sixth, Let thc merchants ol' Edgefield county be more particu lar in taking mortgages ol stock that has already been mortgaged, or does not exist, thereby encour aging lawlessness, and then failing to see that the criminals are punish ed instead ot settling it other ways. These are a few of the many sug gestions that I would like to make. But for fear that I am trying the paiience of the public 1 will close with one more suggestion. That everybody who is entitled to pay road tax will do so, as thin is the last week in which they can pay. Alter this week I will begin to warn delinquents, and will con tinue to do so throughout the year. Where they fail to work I will have ihem returned to magistrates and be sides taking a list bf such per sons I will see that the magistrates docket and properly dispose of these cases before approving- their books quarterly. With the permission of the edi tor I will give a list of names of people who helped to improve the roads in Meriwether township, in next week's issue. A. A. Edmunds. News Items From Horn's Creek. Dear Mr. Mims: As I have not seen any letters from this section I tiought maybe people would enjoy reading a little news. Plowing has begun and things are looking like spring.
