PUBLISHED WEEKLY WINNSBORO, S. C. WEDNESDAY, MAY 2, 1906. ESTABLISHED 1844 Senator Johnson Again. [/se Vews and flerald: Having utterly failed in your -effort last. veek to extricate yourself from the hole into which you had fallen of your own weight notwithstanding all the quibbling -wiggling, and hair-splitting tactics employed. Now by the miunifi cence of the Columbia Record who seems to have caught you by -the straps of the boots and given you a hearty lift with a probable hope that the rebound would land you sufficiently near the top -of the hole that. you could then -crawl out by your own efforts, but somehow or other, in the rapid ascension, you seem to -have missed connection and only succeeded in reaching the bottom again, in great shape but some -what bunged up. The writer, with others, realize that you are sorely in need of aid from some zource, if you are to be relieved of the odium of your predica ment. The argument by which you are trying to escape and divert attention from your per - sonal interest and selfish greed in -the matter, to the fact that the :amount was srgll and insignifi .cant will not nold. .Even if it is ,small, is that any reason whv 'it should be thrown away? It is the many small amounts that ,make the large ones. If it is so :insignificant and small, why are you making such a tremendous .effort to get it back again? Or -why did you ever ieceive it at all for that matter? You must have ,known you were publishing these 7reports under a law that was -clearly unconstitutional. Yes, it is only one of the small savings, but you are making- a great deal of noise notwithstanding the smallness thereof. You are even going into the courts with the hope of still retaining the small and insignificant little sum. The argument that the saving would only amount to a fraction when divid.ed among the total inhabitants of the county is as old and thread-worn ,as is The News and Herald itself. . That is a favored argument to mislead -and deceive, but the people of Fairfield county will not havre to Ibe told that there are many 1undreds of these little sixty Zollars machines in the state, of warious . kinds, that are daily sapping the life blood of her people, and draining the publie treasury.- One thousand times sixty is a very large amount, yet the deceptive argument is -usually made in every instance s.that it will cost the people but a ifraction-or trifle each, but gentle 2men, when you take the grand ttcital and divide the* number of tax-payers into that, yoin Will tden feel the crushing weight of usaey dollars each instead of kaetions. The cost of the govern meet is.gradually increasing each year and avithout spiything to show for it, and these 3seless and unneeessa~ry drains are ?he sole cause. The cost of the statLe government he,s increased withim the last few years, from about eight hundred and fity thousand dollars. to about one million three hundred thousand9 and. it appears that the expenses of the rcounties have increased in very uwar the same proportion. But -when you attempt to lop off some >f these useless drains there is a :great hue and cry on the part of ~those who are enjoying saeia easy public pap. This is not the first~ time, by any means, that I have imeeirrGA the enmity of these pap enekers, ina my efforts to give the people as honest,. efficient, and .aeenomical goernment, which is madoubtedly the duty of every true publie servant and .represatative of the people. .This I shalt om &iue -to do regardless of whiat tMose intereated may think. .Se far as the amendmeut that [ odffered is concerned, E have no fear as to its constitutions&Lity, i!ecause it relates to the same subject as the original law -viz, the publieation of official reports: but I will be candid and say frankly that I believe the original law, which I was not the authoi of, however, will fall under judicial interpretation, because the con stitultionl provides that there .whall be no -local legislatiot *-here general law is applicable :aad when exceptions are made il localizes the law and controvenes ~the constitution. Special prcri. :.ions, however, may be incorpcr .itad in a general law, but ther< man be no wholesale exceptions The original law, therefore, ma' be doelared unconstitutional which of course would carry wit] it the amendment as offered b' myself. ~I was fully aware at the tim that the original law was ex tremely doubtful as well as th "Wise Law" under which yo have been operating. And as you have carried the latter into the courts to restore this drain from the county treasurer, I shall if uecessary, see that the other also is passed upon by the court, and if the one falls, most as suredly the other will. Then the end originally sought will be fully accomplished. If t h i s should put you out of business, as one would naturally infer from the continuous vaporings and ravings that have been going on for several weeks, be cause of the stoppage of this leak, we will then welcome your return to the lowlands of Green wood county with a certificate of deportment during your tempo rary sojourn here, to the effect that you have, at least been faith ful to your own interest, and especially to "public pap". In trying to change the issue from personal interest that has been securely fa;;tened upon you to the meth-d in which the legisla tion was accomplished, is simply pitiable and doubly emphasizes ignorance. I paid no attention to this in my last communication because I did not want to insult the intelligence of the people of Fairfield county, for everybody outside of the lunatic asylum, knows the method was proper, legitimate, and strictly in accord ance with parliamentary law, and is of course practised by every member of every legisla ture in the United States. But why should you bring Senator Tillman into the matter; for the purpose of gaining a little cheap noteriety, I presume. But, Alas-: Alas: The cruelty of fate, how often are, the hopes of some cruelly blighted, and their laudable am bition ruthlessly swept away. If you were to live to be as old as Methuselah, and should cliib to the top round of the News and Herald ladder daily, and raiss your highest notes, it is still en tremely doubtful if Senator Till man would ever know that such a personage as yourself had ever lived. But you say that he is constitutional and I am uncon stitutional, I will again be chari table enough to allow this to be iransferred to the accovnt of ig norance or misrepresentation, which Ewer vou may choose. Of all the laws khet it have added to the statutes of Sogth Carolina, only one has been declared un ,coPtitu1tionhl , and .that was ,the ,cointy govexrnment law that Vas framed1 by Judge I;ydrick and myeef, who were members a.t that time of the hone of repre sentatives, but introdgced by nme. It was declared uncontittionel because certain countijes were exempted from its provisions, the same reason that mullifies youir "wise law." All the others that haye been questioned haveI sucessglly stood the constitu tional tests of a ,courts. One of the corporation ig that I secured the passage ok recently passed all the' state egurts,~and is now pending on apea~l to the supreme court of the L uite4 States.

The board of directors of the Winnsboro Commercial Club held a meeting Tuesday evening and transacted a number of im portant items in connection with starting the club off. Some of the furniture has been ordered and a committee has been ap pointed to look into the purchase of the other furniture and fix. tures. Mr. C. W. McCants was unan nimously chosen by the board as secretary and treasurer of the Club. This was but a fitting recognition of the valuable as sistance that he has rendered in getting the Club organized. He has attended to all the little details taat are so necessary in getting such an organization started and it is doubtful but that for his faithfulness in this matter whether the Club would now be organized. His efficient work in its organization bespeaks faithful service for the future. A committee consisting of E. C. Gwaltney, K. R. McMaster and J. Frank Fooshe was appointed to arrange for a bazaar to be held the latter part of May. This committee will select a com mittee of ladies to co-operate with them in this matter. This committee will make a canvass of the business houses of the community for some contribu tion for the bazaar and they hope through these various contribu tions to realize a nice sum which will be used by the Club in get ting their quarters fixed Up in a proper manner. If every bisi ess bouse will respond in a taugible manner tQ the appe4l that will be naade, it will be no rouble to make this bazaar a nacess fnancially and otherwise od its enccess vill cogn for no lie i4 qaliIg the Clgb a ?ue: eans.

Enter taining the Veterans. In accordance with the suggeE tion recently made in thes colums, the citizens of WinnE boro have opened wide thei homes for the entertainment c the veterans the night befor Memorial Day, when they wil all be expected to be here. T4 this end circular letters hav been sent out to all the veteran in the county with the requesi that they advise the committef as to whether they would com( in on the afternoon of the 9tl or the morning of the 10th. The committee has tried very harc to get one of these special in vitations to every v e t e r an whose address could be had; and, if any veteran should see this, who failed to get such at invitation, entertainment will be provided him also if he will at once advise W. C. Boyd, chair. man of the entertainment com mittee, that he will come in on the afternoon of the 9th. The reterans, of course, must appre ciate the fact that ente:etainment in the homes the night before ean be made only far those, who inform the eommittee of their eoming and they will thus confer a great favor on the committee by advising them a; to the time when they ezpeet to come in.
