Sam and Jnke. These two seem to be great cronies, but on the occasion of their usual weekly meeting on Saturday Jake appeared to be considerably disturbed and out of humor with his chum. Our reporter was as usual on hand for anything that he could catch, and was on the lookout for them when they met at the back of Springs & Shannon's lot. Jake appeared to be busy in making his mule comfortable for the day and paid no attention to Sam nntll he opened up on him with: "Huh! you black rascal, you tink I ain' been heah 'bout you eh? You 'member what I been tell.you 'bout what Capt, Sohtock say In he paper 'bout dem chick en?

I'se always glad to talk to yer." Am Explanation. Mr. Editor: In "The People" of February 25th there appeared an article beaded, "From Lu go9/'4nd signed UR," I find t|ia^ thire in some misunder standings concerning that arti cle: First, itv seems to be the opinion o# some parties that the article was wffttten as a defense of'fir. J. A. Rabon. Such is not tbffoase. I -tan a citizen of Wateree Town ahM I pay taxes as such, and Ictjfam the right to criticise any public work that in my opinion is not properly or economically doti(e. I have a right to express my, opinion in the public papers. Th^t article expressed my opin of a certain piece of work. The matter of J. A. Rabon has no thing to do -with it. I am neither tfee'defender nor the prosecutor of J. A. Rabon. I hope this is plain.' Secondly. Borne gentlemen take' exceptions to the following sealeaces which 1 copy from the preyious article: , "Properly placed, one pipe would have carried all the wa ter; bat, as it is, water must pond on the upper side of the road until a good sized field becomes a pond two feet deep before a drop of water can enter either of two 12 inch draw ' pipes laid sideby side. Does not this dam age the field beside the road?" "By what manner of engineer ing do we find it necessary to put two pipes 12 inches in diam eter under a roadbed to drain a two or three acre cultivated field with absolutely no stream of water." Now, it seems that some un derstand me to say that* the wa ter will pond over the two or three acre field. I do not say that Or, if any one understands me to have said that, why, I will explain what I meant to say, and still think I did say it would pond on a "gooa sized field." I do not think the pond water would cover half an acre. I claim that those pipes drain the culti vated field, which I am told is between one and one- half and two acres of cultivated land, and not leaf than one acre of uncul tivated land. Thai is, those pipes are prima rily to carry across the road all thejnda water that will fall on the landthat slopes into that basin, or bottom. I claim that the pipes are % iTetn tf&t leas than three acrea of land. I do not elaim that half an acre will be flooded by what I think Is a faulty posi ttotr of the pipes. 1 hate absolutely no personal I motive In criticising? thi& work I sure the interest I n iturilly have in the land in question, and the proper* and economical ex penditare of the county taxas. I wrote the previous article over $jh e nom de plume, "B. " 1 hope; that I have explained away any misunderstanding. W. J. Burdell. AHKOUNCKMENTS.
