"M. S. G." Writes a Good Hnmorei letter, in Which He Dlmcnsse Many Things. Greenwood, S. C.. Jan. 27tb, 189G. East End seems to bave got on his wa paint last week, and I think without a J cause. Brother, let us have a commission at pointed to arbitrate the matter. Iam not li favor of war, only as a last re?ort. I thinl you overlooked the statement In my notes o January 13th ; look it up, neighbor, and see if did not say, (if, such were the facts, if, Ninety s'x did thus and bo. to get votes, is it not wha they ask for, &c. Have you not got what yoi wanted? If my informant misinformed mc then I am sorry for the article that cause< East End to use such harsh language, such a untrue, unoelgbborly and unchristian, would not have used such adjectl.ves abou you. You rightly say that we have knowt each other for years, and I assure you, brothe East End, that I am your friend, and I bellevi you are my friend. Yes, I believe you ar< sorry for using such rough harsh words a eyou did last week. I made sore 5'ou woult . see my Jovial disposition 1q my article / Nevertheless, since you penned your seven criticism, I have beard a number of good cltl zeos living near Ninety-Six say everj word of my article was true. Did not the op ponentsof Ihe tax employ a certain lawyei to fight the case for them, and wben he wen ")("> to-Ninety-Six, the advocates of the tax fei /v* him heavier, thereby securing his services causing the opponents to have to hunt coun sel elsewhere. My dear friend, I don't wan t you to have to pay the tax, but I don't thint EU*' you ought have gotten so ashey, if the chargei were true. You asked the question, if tb< statements made were true, what right has i citizen of au adjoining township to comment upon it in the prints. The only answer J have for this is, free moral agency, a will t< do or not to do. East End says ray notes 1e the Press and Banner show that I am a mat 5.C. of more than ordinarj intelligence. If hi means that, I thank him for the compliment for it is more than I would say for myself. J >r its rather think he meant. It for a litte quid o itera taffy. -Ninety-Six has as good and clever clt i/.ens as any town in the state. If a burdet has been placed on them, who did it? Die you ever bear a fellow hollow unless he wai hit? What say you, Mr. Editor. | SEW ROAD. It appeared In the head lines of my note! last week, (of course M. S. G., objects to the new road to Coles' Mill.) Mow, Mr. Editor I do not object to that road, nor any othei road that Is needed. I do not want all th( roads to come to Greenwood, but I want anj and every road opened that is needed, but . do insist on them being worked. Is the roac to Coles' mill needed? 1 THE CANDIDATES. ' I notice an article in the Press and Bannei last week under the heading, "Tne candl dates." giving a list of probable candidates Isn't It surprising how kind and friendly i fellow becomes when he is thlnklug of run nlns: for an office. Why, sir you can tell then f %vherever you meet them, even the ones thai fought Greenwood county becoming verj kind and rriendly to us. Some of them Raj they didn't tight us very much. They reallzi that Greenwood will have another opportunl ty, if not a privilege, of voting in Aobevllli county once more. We have both eyes am j both ears open. GOOD SERMON. J Mr. John B. Bleckley, a cotton buyer o i Anderson, S. C, spent last Saturday night li ureenwooa. rie worsnippea at the Methodls church on Sunday morning. We were treat _ eil to a fine sermon by Rev. M. Dargan, thi V pivKtor, from the text., Thy brothers blood cry i I eth unto thee from the ground. 9 iS TIIK SEAL COMMITTEE ItAMIIOO/.LED? There seems to be a disposition on the par some to cloak aud hide the truth. In the In vestlgation of Superintendent Neal. I no tlced in a dailj paper of this state that a con current resolutlou would be Introduced In th< irSi general assembly by request of Mr. T. C. Wll loughby, asking that body to order the com rnlttee now Investigating thechaiges of fraud &c., preferred against Col. Neal to changi their place of meeting from the penitentiary totheStateHou.se. The cause ot this chaugi Is based upon the fact that Col. Neal had beer UU dining the committee, and In other way "bamboozling" them. Is it possible that i 111 1 committee of reformers can be bought with i dinner; I have heard itsaid by come one,tha the nearest road to some men's soul wa inrougu uieir stomach. HOXOKIKG HAMPTON.

"Through to Greenwood," that Is the lines of an article in tbe State of Jan. stating that Governor Evans received a r gram from Col. Mike Brown, who has be< t New York for sometime In the Interest o > Carolina Midland railway, which runs j a Allendale to Severn, to the effect-that he k completed all arrangements to have the f extended to Greenwood. This sounds * llMJlktt U*.C UUUIUCI IUUU LU VJICCUWWUU. w - completed, there will be a railroad ruu t through every section oi the proposed Gi J wood county. Surely there could no >. found a more suitable place for a county 1 Jurors and witnesses could attend com s Greenwood and most of I hem go home u I wife and children at night and back to c t next morning in time for business. i I notice In Coronaca notes in Green\ r Journal, Mr. W. W. Klugh has gone to B a more, Md? to have a surgical operation 9 formed on himself. The work will be doi the Maryland University. Later reports 1 us that the operation has been perfor !. without any troble whatever. J Hon. C. A. C. Waller is moving the old - sonic ball, (which stood on the north std t railroad bridge) across the bridge. He fit it up for a store house, I haven't heard r will occupy it. 1 THE DISPENSARY. * In an article in the Greenville News on r dispensary, be gives some good advice to . who may heed it. Among other thing; , says: If Greenwood people with to 1 ij tbeirtown independent and clear'of rell| I they had better vole down the dlspens : He says it will increase rather than dimli r the blind tiger nuisance. Again be says: I" far as the revenue part of the dlspensar; * concerned the people of Greenwood will ' It a delusion and a snare, Judging from J experience of Greenville. As a said last w 3 If it was run according to law it would : pay expenses. The election which wat L have taken place last Thursday on thisi 1 ject has been postponed. I suppose it wll " held when we get the new election laws in j eratlon. The only disappointed ones as 1 can see are tbe ones that wanted to be * penser. In visiting the old Tabernacle ceme near Cokesbury, it is sad to see tbe grav that distinguished soldier and '76 hero, In , you cannot see It at all, for there Is not , slightest mark or trace to indicate wblc General Mart Gary's grave. If no one p will. I suggest that the State put somethln 5 the head of bis grave to show which It Is. ' A [ I IHSHOP HAYGOOD. 1 I notice in the Southern Christian Advoi of last week the death of Bishop A. G.

Editor Press and Banner: 4 In last week's issue or the Press and Banner under the caption of "The Candidates,'' iu speaking of ttie office of Connty Supervisor, a you say, "The office is a new one,and Captain iV Lyon in blazing out the untrodden paths so successfully that he may not have any trouble in being re elected." This reminds us that we have heard it. stated that years ago the site where the city of I*4 Atlanta now stands was a Wild waste where . 1 the great herds of cattle were wont to roam, ra'e and the result was there were a great number 1, of paths crossing and intersecting eacb other, mal and that when it was determined to establish a town there, the first settlers thereof Just adopted the cow paths as streets, in order to S3 save the trouble of locating new ones?be llevlng that while the effect would be, In many Instances, to have the streets forming acute angles, upon the whole, the cow paths, ^ as streets, could not be improved upon. Do you see the point? Is not tnis analogous to the blazing out done by the Captain ? One of the Bovlnes. CHANGE OF BASE. Thi Mr. K. C.
