CHAPBL LBTTBR. nion Academy Community, ancial Condition as Shown and Jury's Presentment. S C., November x8.-On moving along very nicely. hment is increasing every Mollie Gallman and son, al!nian, visited Mr. J. L. of No. 7, the first of the R. Upps is spending a h her son-in-law, Mr. S. d, and family. otton is pretty well all the corn gathered, oats otatoes dug, and there will y little wheat sown. So it e seen that there is going to e spare time for rabbit hunt the country. We are now g for that cold snap which come this morning, to kill a bihen we will make a barrel of non beer,' and when we get is done, Mr. Editor, we want o get Minmaugh's old grey d and bring Dr. Mayer with y down here to our home and ill try our luck on the rabbits birds. When we get ready, ditor, I will let you know; ick up the doctor and coie t along. Nobody is complaining about tAe tice of cotton. All we need is a ttle more. But it has always been dy experience when it rains mnch vy plate is too small. I am truly sorry to say that Mrs. . L. Kinard is extremely low. There is a singing school in pro gress at Bachnan Chapel with Mr. J. J Hipp as teacher. The class meets early Saturday and on Sun day at ro a. im. Mr. Hipp is well versed in vocal music, and if there is not progrcss amoifg the Bach manites along this line it will not be the fault of Mr Hipp. No doubt everybody who reads this has heard the words used, It's a pity." Yes, it is a pity, and one pity is bad enough; but when there are so many pities included in one large pity, it is simply too bad. The last presentment of the grand jury brought to light all of those pities which I have reference to. It is an awiul pity that there has been such a reckless expenditure of the county's public funds, putting the county $22,000 in debt; and this, in connection with the fact that we have had as little public improvement as I have known for a cor'siderab)le while. It is not de sired to open upl any more fire on Supervisor Schutupert. If this had been thme intention the game could have been started long since. Mr. Schmumpert's elmployes on the pub11 lie works have tried to exonerate him of a parlt of the charges made against him by the grand j ury, but this does not lessen the county's deb)t one p)article. The taxpayers have got to foot the bill just the same, and the cry, "'overburdened with taxation'" is going to be heard before the debt is paid. The p)eo pIe don't nmind paying out money when they can see that they arc getting value received but every taxpayer hams a right to complain when he sees that his money is being wastedl. We had a good roadis camnpaig:n duin mg the past suinmmer in order to find out what kind of p)lanm the taxpayers wantedl to better the conidit ion of the public highways, and so far as is known by this "orrespondlent, everybody agreed that the only plan was by taxation, and( it was dlecidedl that it would be best to conmmence t his iprovemenit by a 2-minill levy withI thle coininuitat ion tax put back to $2.00. Now this reckless expend(iture of muoney which has already thirowin the county so far ini debt is simiply a dleaAj blow to the good roads i>ive mneA. When it comies to a test it will be seen that the people are not going to be willing to pile up debt ,01n tnn of debht. 'r j m CONGRESSMAN WYATT AIKBN. Third District's Congressman is Well Known and Popular in the Nation's Capital. The Washington Star, in a write up of the new members of the Fif ty-eighth Congress, which is now in extra session, has the following to say of the Hon. Wyatt Aiken, rep resenting the Third District of South Carolina: "The name of Aiken is an*old and honored one in the House of Representatives. For ten years the third dtstrict of South Carolina was represented by D. Wyatt Aiken. Now, after a lapse of years, the son, Wyatt Aiken, "democrat, of Abbeville," comes to fill the seat that was his father's. Mr. Aiken conies to Washington well equipped for a legislative career, although this is the first public office he I.ias ever held. He is fully acquainted with Washington, however, having spent much of his time here when his father was in Congress and hav, ing since been a frequent Visitor. He is known to the men who have been in Congress for long terms, to the older correspondents and at taches of the House, and is not by any means strange to congressional cust.omis and parliamentary proce dure. 'I'le new Representative Aiken gives his vocation as "farmer," and declares lie has always been such. ie was born I)ecember 14, 1863. .and was reared on a farm in A hbe ville county, S. C., in the section now embraced in Greenwood coun t y. He received a connuon school education at Cokesbury and after ward in Washington, where lie cane when his father was elected to the House. "While in this city Mr. Aiken acquired short-hand, his efforts in this direction quickly bearing fruit, for in January, 1884, lie was ap pointed official court reporter for the second judical circuit of his native State. A year later lie was appointed to a similar position on the eighth circuit, a position lie has since held. Notwithstanding his connection with the courts in this official capacity, Mr. Aiken did not relinquish the title of farm er. He took then and takes now a keen interest in everything pertain ing to agriculture, and is sure to prove a stanch friend to the farmer while in Congress. '"WXhen the wvar with Spain was declared, the martial spirit of his forefather-s took possession of Mr. Aiken, and lhe voluniteered his ser vices in the humble cap)aci ty of pri v'ate in his home company, the Ab beville Volunteers, wvhichi was muns teredl into thme serv'ice of the Unzited States at Columbia May io, 1898. The company became known as Company A, 1st South Carolina4 Regiment of Infantry. It was not long 1:efore Private Aikeni was ap pn.nitedI a battalion adjutant by Governior Ellerbe, and during al most the entire time of his service, Mr. Aiken actedl as regimental gr.artermnaster. He was mustered out of the service with his regiment at Columbia Novemiber 1o, 1898. "Previous to his recent election to Congress Mr. Aiken's nearest app)roachl to p)ublic offce was as delegate to several State conven- ' tiowis. A t the electieni he receivedl 5,082 v'otes to ' east for his repub. licanm opponIent, Johna Scott.'
