"McKellar" and "A Tax-Payer."
Editor Abbeville Press and Banner:
I notice in your last issue a "labored'
effort by "A Tax-Payer" to criticise nr
communication of May the 27th. A1
though I have no hope of satisfying "I
"Tax-Payer," knowing the man so well
still, for the benerit of those who do no
know who "A Tax-Payer" is, I wil
beg you to allow me space for a rejoind
tr.
What docs "A Tax-Payer" mean b>
?a tv 1 ~ ?
XI Jo CUC UUUSCICIJ
tious, faithful public servant you wouli
have us believe he is, he would see to i
that neither he nor any of his boarc
ever had anything for sale, beyond theii
private services, that the county should
ever want?" Does he mean that Coun\
ty Commissioners ought to be paupers'
Or does he mean when a County Commissioner
has anything that the County
wants, lie should give it to the county,
and not sell it? But perhaps he
means that a County Commissioner liaa
no right to sell anything to the county?
that it would be" illegal to do so. His
assertion of what is law will hardly be
"satisfactory to the thinking public."
We would rather be referred to the
Chanter. Paire and .Section. "A Tax
Payer" doesn't seem to know that the
law binds a County Commissioner to
render not exceeding 100 days of public
service in any one year. At any rate,
that is all lie can claim pay for, even
should he work 300 days. But this will
be further explained in another place.
* But the most unwarranted, reckless
change that "A TaS-l'ayer" makes, is in
these words, "for however much I believe,
or the public might feel, that he,
(McKellar) and his erudite cotifi'crca
splurged entirely too extensively for
meu of their rtleans and legitimate Income,"
&c. Now, I should like to know
;by what "hocus pociis" "A Tax-Payer"
ascertained my "legitimate(income" in
the first place. And in the second
jdace, the charge that I splurge eKtenpively,
is false. There is not a citizen in
jhe Town of Abbeville that will sustain
the charge. I repel it as a slander.
Here is a specimen of the spirit bf tile
piecetlnd the consistency of its author:
in 0116 place he says, "As much as to
Say, all such small sums the county
should allow Us to pocket." . Aud in an" y
other place, he says! "And in another
place, he says: 1 am free from Charging
criminality upon McKellaf, or accusing
him of embezzlement of x)ubllc
jS? funds."
The "thinking public" is now prepared
to examine some of the criticisms
of "A Tax Payer." I have taken up
his article in rather reverse order, because
I wanted to show tbe animus and
object of the writer Ikst. He hasi
shown some shrewdness iu the "make
up" of his piece, by the manner in
which he has eudeavared to mask his
batteries.
"The labored explanation and vindication
of County Commissioner W. P.
-McKellar," &c! Here is an effort to
"deceive. There was never a plainer,
simpler, more straightforward statement
made of a case, than my article of
the 27th of May exhibited. Xo unprejudiced
fair-minded man could call it a
fiabored effort. But "A Tax Payer,"
would have his readers believe, in the
outset, that I had a desperate case to de
fend, and it required time, talent and
labor to make it appear plausible.
'"Which you attempted to ^.vltiteivanh,"
Ac.! Here is another effort to destroy
the influence of the editor's endorsement.
and nreiudice the minck of his
readers. "Who induced them to go?
"Was it the expressed wish of the .County?"
For the information of "A Tax
l'ayer," I will state, that there was
much interest felt ami inadifestcil-heve,
about the time referred to, as to what
disposition the Legislature would make
* of the County debt. The creditors of
: the County ?were not a few. Numbers
. of them repeatedly consulted me upon
Mhesiibject ana urged me to go to Columbia
last Fall. I having failed to get
aii Act passed to pay the indebtedness
at the last collection, it was thought advisable
to secure the passage of an Act
to levy a Tax for that purpose at the
:jiext collection. The Act was passed
after the icturn of these Commissioners,
. and they claim to have been instrumental
iu securing its passage. A large majority
of the Legislature were men of
their color, and it is fair to presume that
'they might have some influence with
such a body.
"Or was it the result of a little caucu<of
that trio, who verily believe that they, j
-according to McKellar's views, are
amenable to a higher law than the
County Court or its pledge?" This is a
small eft'ort at sarcasm, unbecoming so
dignified and important a personage as
a Simon pure "Tax Payer." I deny
that I hinted, insinuated"-or that it can
be fairly inferred from the general tenor
of my article, that the County Commissioners
" are amenable to " a higher
* Court." I don't think "A Tax Payer"
.himself knows what he meant by "or
ite pledge." "One spent a third more
money than the other." A 'sufficient
answer to tlii?, is, the fact that one went
twice and the other once. "Had them
audited and paid by McKellar." This
Js partly false. They were not paid by
."MeKellar, but by the Treasurer.
"Judge Cooke said distinctly, that
these Commissioners have no right to
:?udit their own accounts, but McKellar
says they have." McKellar did not say
any such thing. The law distinctly says
that the County Commissioners shall
, .audit all claims against the| county,
with a few specified exceptions. The
following is the specified exception in
:this case":
fiec. 31. "Each member of the Board
of County Commissioners shall be allowed
compensation-for his services in
attending the meetings of the Board,
and necessary time spent in discharging
other duties imposed by law, if any, -at
the rate of $3.00 per duy and five cents
uer mile for necessary trovel: Provided,
iThat compensation shall not be allowed
to any member of the Board of County
lor exceeding 100 days in any one year.
The account shall be presented to the
County Treasurer who shall audit, and
if correct, pay the same." Page 141,
-G. 8. old editi n.
I did not say that the County Commissioners
had a right to audit such
claims as this section of the law describes.
My position is, that the disputed
claims of Burton and JefFerson did
not fall under this section. The law
CCrtaiuly makes the County Couimis4j'i?narB
thejudges in tbonnii-l?!' of county
claims. Within certain limits, the
Board of County Commissioners is the
County Court. ?u>t being infallible, of
.course many errors may be committed.
But no criminal prosecution tan be
.maintained against a County Commissioner
for an error of judgment where
there is no actual or intentional fraud.
Suppose the Board should determine to
;l*ave a bridge built over a certain creek,
rbelieving it actually necessary, and the
?contract publicly and fairly awarded,
;?o fraud or corruption of any kind appearing
in the transaction, and suppose
tho Grand Jury should decide that
there was no necessity for a bridge at
the said point, that the ford was good
enough, and that such an expenditure
was a waste of the public money, eould
the Comnmsione.13 oe indicted for such
an offence ? However much they might
Le censured for folly, they could not be
made answ.en.ble in a criminal court.
WAtilil tmf r-nir fKnf o aIoiiyI

far services as constable, rendered by a
vCounty Commissioner, should be audited
by the Treasurer. But doubtless "A
Tax-Payer" would say, that a County
Commissioner had 110 right to render
any other than official service as County
Commissioner, as he can't sell anything
to the County. Here again I would
.demand the law, and not an assertion of
what is law. Hundreds of such claims,
.durintr the last four years, have been
audited by the County Commissioners,
and checks drawn on the Treasurer for
jtfcelr payment. Again, supposea County
Commissioner was made a State witness
in a Trial J ustice's Court, and the
ca^e resulted in the County having the
cost to pay ; is there an v doubt as to the
power and duty of the County Commissioners
to audit such a claim ?
?mj???a?p ? im mm???,
As to the "hocus pocus" hy which ]
undoubtedly conclude that "they an
entitled to mileage," I atn not now a
? liberty to explain. Deference to tin
y views of the Court forbid.
You will pardon me, Mr. Editor, foi
^ personality, l'or I think I have as much
, right to expose the real name of "A
t Tax-Payer" as he had to take up tin,
I cudgel against me, and make such flip
pant use of my name. Now, D. Wyatll
Aiken is certainly the last man in thq
j County who ought to volunteer his ser
vices to convict a man charged with "a
1 minorottence. "A fellow feeling should
I make us kind," to say nothing of the
1 old adages about about "a glass house,"
and "casting the first stone.

Reply to Article of "Tax Payer."
, Editor Abbeville Press and Bciuner :
, Sik: We did tiiinK mat we wouiu
take no notice of anything that might
. appear in print against us, but for cer!
tain reasons wo have condcscendcd to
notice your correspondent "Tax Payer."
He says, we were induccd to go to Co-,
luinhia, and he knows very well what
, for; then asks who induced us to go.
We were induccd to go by a petition
signed by gentlemen tax payers of the
County, and not as he would intimate,
the result of a little caucus, We have
! long since left the little caucus business
in the hands of the Democrats of 1S0S
and LS(j!). We are aware that every colored
or Republican ollicial in the County
or State are nuisances in "Tax Payer's
" opinion, regardless qf qualifications.
As to the terrible embezzlement,
it was the understanding of the board to
call the matter to the attention of the
Grand-Jury, and if, in theie opinion, we
were not entitled to the extra pay we
would refund the amount to the Treasurer,
which is a queer way to start out to
defraud the Oounty. We would like for
"Tax Payer" to submit the result of
some of his little caucuses to the Grand
Jury. We are of the opinion the paper
Hintli.mo nf nn indictment would be
endorsed on its back: "True bill. W.
D. Mars, Foreman."
As to the charge of extensive splurging,
"Tax Payer" well knows l>o was
penning a malicious slander. W; are
working for more wages than fome men
in this place, who wear clfthes wj are
glad to get second-hand, and wh > devote
more time to buggy-riding, flirting
and base-ball than we can, and we
wou!* hc far from charg'ng them with
embezzling f'eir emp oyers' funds.
"Tax Payer's" dodge of eu'ogizing
Judge Cooke, knowing h'm to be a true
Republican, thinking thereby to weaken
him with hia party is ioo thin. The
j day is past when Democratic praise is
(death to a Republican, and if "Tax
I Paver" thinks that by any such tricks
he "will get Judge Cooke to go one step |
towards persecuting the Republican
party he is very much mistake#.

the year 1S09. She (contracted the terrible
disease of consumption about two
years ago, *nd her feeblu state of health
consequent upon repeated attacks of
Ague and Fever, soon prostrated the
system beyond recovery, added to her
advanced a^e, quickly prepared her for
the destroyer's -darts.
From early girlhood slie had tooen a
consistent member of the Baptist
Church, and exemplified iu the most
unmistakeable manner, the forbearance,
the fortitude, the simplicity and Christian
deportment, which mortality can
only manifest when "born again" in
the Jiikeness of an arisen and exalted
Saviour.
Thirty years ago she came to this
county, accompanied by her husband
.and brother, leaving a host of relatives
land Mends behind her.
Tint she is cone! She now basks in
tlie .sunshine of that Saviour upon
whom she trusted and leaned for -support
in her declining years, and bids
her husband, brother, children and
grand children, and her numerous
friends and acquaintances, prepare for
the change which must soon take place,
by their remembrance of her many virtues
and self-saeriticing devotion as a
Christian, while in this world of disappointment,
sadness, sickness, misery
and woe. Should not the wicked contemplate
the end? Should they not believe
in a Saviour? Reflect upon the
life and sufferings of this Christian, and
inwardly resolve to be like her and
eventually to enjoy the beauties of the
saint's rest.
