NEWS AND E48RALD WINNSBORO, 8. C. FRANK FOOSHE) Editor and Proprietor. PUBL1SHED WEEKLT TERS. IN ADVANCE: One Year,.............................$15o Six Months........................... .75, Wednesday, August 22, 1906. Vote for the issuance of the bonds so that Fairfield county may be put on a cash basis. A vote for the issuance of the boads, for the paying of Fairfield indebtedness and putting it on a cash basis will be a business vote for maintaining the county's financial :ntegrity. So vote for the bonds. The voters of Fairfield county will go to the polls next Tuesday to vote upon. the proposition of t'ie county issuing $40,000 in bonds to pay off its past indebted ness and to put it upon a cash basis. A vote for the issuance of these bonds will mean the can celling of all outstanding indebt edness and the creating of a sur plus that will make it so that all claims can be paid in full when issued without any increase in the tax levy, as the amount for the interest on these bonds and the sinking fund reserve will not exceed what is now required for the paym~ent of interest on loans and the discount on claims. A vote against the issuance of bonds will mean that the delegation will have to provide an extra levy of at least two mills for a period of at least four years merely for paying o if the indebtedness. The bond issue would mean im mediate relief; the extra tax levy could not be available for two full years, as it could not be col lected till 1908. In the -mean time the debt ivould be increasing and the finances of the county administered with great difficulty. The wise thing to do is to vote the bonds and get the county on a cash basis. Mr. D. L. Stevenson RepHes to Mr. E. F. Pagan. To the Taxpayers of Faireld County: I regret that I have been blamed, * indirectly, for "the increase of delinquents" in your county. I am exceedingly sorry that it be comes necessary for me to make a statement. But being the super intendent of education (who Mr. Pagan sa.ys appointed the enu merators) and the 'fault haviiig been saddled upon the school census system, of which I was head, I feel that I would not be true to you, to the enumerators or to myself were I to allow such a charge to go by unnoticed. I do most emphatically deny the charge or insinuation, and wish to disabuse your minds of the fact that either the enumerators or I * have been responsible in any way, shape or form for any evil which exists in' ::e auditor's office. Italye attention to the fact tha itis ueduty of the auditor to report to the county superin tendent of education as to the persons listed and paying poll tax. See Section 1095. It then becomes the duty of the county superintendent to furnish the school trustees with copies of the reports and to aid th.3m in making all proper corrections. Not being able to get these reports from the auditor, and knowing that there would be quite a num ber of dogs that would escape taxation, and inasmuch as tbe trustees would have to revise the poll list, I called them together for the purpose of advising with them in regard to a census enui nmeration of dogs, polls and chil dren. In this meeting there wore representative men from every section of the couaty. There, were present Hons. J. G. Mc Cants, A. Lee Scruggs, A. D. Hood, E. F. Pagan, Drs. J. A. Scott, J. J. Robertson, Messrs R. A. Patrick, T. L. Johnston, 0. P. Wray, and last but by no means least our happy editor,' 3. Frank Fooshe. There were fifty or more others too numerous * to mention. It was the unani mous opinion of this representa tive body that a census be made. It was also their opinion that it was the most feasible plan by which the ausditor could get on his duplicate every dog and poll liable to tax and at the samze time -get off all those not liable. By; this method the auditor's work would be simplified and both de linquents and additions would be minimized in the treasurer's office,I two of the greatest annoyances to that office.1 Now. when these enumerators1 completed their work, I had thei chairman of the board of trustees of each district to file reports ini the supel intendent's offie proper- f ly certified to as to the correct- f ness of the work. I wish to state ti here, that these enumerators were i appointed by the different boards k of trustees and not by the super-a intendent of edncation, 1 The census books were turned ovef to the auditor by the clerk of the board of trustees. Now in order to assist Mr. Pagan, he being a new man, and to make sure that every poll and dog would be properly entered, I recommended that the clerks of the different boards of trustees be paid $2.00 per day for one day to assist the -auditor in getting this correctly done. In writing up his duplicate, had Mr. Pagan brought forward all of his real estate owners from old duplicate, checking them off as he did so, and then check up the remainder of polls on old dupli cate by the census books with the aid given him, both the delin quents and the additionals would have been reduced to a minimum, as I have said before. But what is the true condition? We have more delinquents and more on the additional than ever before. This census was not an entirely new thing. We had operated under the same plan in 1903 while J. L. Richmond was auditor with the most gratifying results. Now, Mr. Pagan, however much 1 may regret it at this particular time, I am compelled to defend the trustees, the enumerators and the system, which is a part of my record. You say, by explanation, that "enumerators of School District No. 2 would without knowing be in No. 3 or No. 12 and get names outside of his district." Grant that he did. We anticipated that, and that is why we gave you the man at $2.00 per day to assist you in making such corrections before writing up your book. But I contend that an intelligent white man who would be appoint ed by any board of truestees in this county would be a more com petent judge of the school dis tricts boundaries than a floating population of igno.rant negroes. I regret being brought into this explanation, and hope that it will stop here or before the investi gating committee. Respectfully, D. L. Stevenson. GO-FLY keeps flies off Horses and Cattle.

A beautiful home wedding took place Thursday morning at the home of Mr. and Mrs. C. P. San ders when their daughter, Miss May Sanders, was married to Mr. J. Frank Fooshe of Winnsboro, S. C. The marriage was an un- I usually pretty one in all its details and characterized by the im pressive solemnity and dignity of a home ceremony. There were present a large number of rela tives and many sincere friends who were cordially interested in the happy event. The spacious home of the bride on Kirby Hill stood wide open in charming hospitality and had been most artistically decorated and ap pointed. The front parlor, where the ceremony took place, was most effective in bridal white and green, the doors, windows and draperies being festooned with delicate green vines, studded with lovely white astors. In o n e corner of 'the room a beautiful marriage altar had been arranged against a -background of hand some palms and astors. The bridal couple stood facing the minister just under a graceful white arch from which hung three snowy marriage bells suspended by tulle streamers. On either side stood tall white standards bearing handsome palms,while the early morning sunlight of a perfect summer day completed the pretty effect. Promptly at nine o'clock Rev. W. A. Massabeau o f Central Methodist Church took his ap pointed place, the wedding march rendered by Mrs. Warren DuPre and Mrs. A. G. Rembert. an nouncing the approach of the wedding party. Mr. Fooshe came in with his best man, Prof. L. T. Baker of the South Carolina University. Two dainty flower girls, Misses Marcelline Sanders and Mary Erwin, entered next, followed by two little boys, Leonard Jones and Caroll Earle, who untied the tulle streamers. Little Miss Adelaide Ruff o f Atlanta, was a winsome little ring bearer who preceded the brides maids, the handsome sisters of the bride. These were Misses Marian, Annie Will and Kathleen Sanders all gowned alike in lovely lingerie dresses of white wash chiffon, wearing black picture hats and carrying big bouquets of white astors. The bride en tered with her maid of honor, Miss Tocoa Sanders, who wore a becoming toilette of soft white mull made princesse and com pleted by a becoming b 1 a c k chiffon hat with black plumes. The bride was unusually hand some in a modish traveling gown of blue Panama, an exceedingly stylish tailor model in the new pony jacket effect worn over a dainty handmade waist. A be coming blue hat and gioves in the same tone added the finishing touches to a most becoming 'cos tume. Her flowers were bi-ide roses and smilax. Immediately after congratulations and good wishes Mr. and Mrs. Sanders entertained the guests with very genuine and delightful hospitality a charming informality making this affair a notable social event. Assisting in entertaining w e r e Mr. and Mrs. C. E. Sanders, Mr. and Mrs. Preston Daniel of Knoxville, Mrs. S. Z. Buff, of Atlanta, Mrs. Carrie K. Earle, Spartanburg, and an attractive number of young girls who served in the dining room. The apart ment was elaborately decorated in a pink and green motiff pink and wbite astors, making dainty table decorations combined with pink tulle and graceful asparagus fern. An elaborate course break fast was beautifully served, dainty boxes of wedding cake bearing the young couple's monogram and the date making pretty souvenirs. A beautiful array of wedding presents were displayed in t h e library, a substantial proof of Mr. and Mrs. Fooshe's popu larity. The bride's home friends are very loath to give her up for her genuine worth and unselfish) nature have endeared her to a large circle of warmfriends. Mr. Fooshe is the efficient editor of 1 the Winnsboro News and Heral, a man of worth and capability, whose friends are glad to con gratulate him on his good fortune.
