MR. EDITOR: It is hoped that the committee appointed by the grand jury to investigate the books of county officials will publish their r3port so formulated as to give the citizens of the county something tangible. Especially should they be informed about the county indebtedness, hov/ much is current expenses and what amount of back debts due one or two years ; and also what arrangements have been or arc to be made to pay each. Ask the citizens generally about these mattere and you get the reply "don't know." Some will say the county is two or three years behind, leaving you to infer that any claims may be postponed till such debts are first paid. Those having claims being uninformed as to arrangements to cash their claims are thus imposed upon by the speculator who stauds ready to discount at lates ranging from 65 to 90 cents 011 the dollar. It is an outrage for the citizens to have to take scrip at all iuKtead of cash that proper laws and offi cial operations and efforts sbould provide, but to keep the people in ignorance to be imposed upon both as taxpayers and claimants by speculators requires wordrf strong er than I can use to characterise it. Surely the clerk, tlje auditor, the treasurer, the commissioners, our home representatives and the bor rowed "Holdtight" fellows cannot lopger suffer the people they love so dearly at times to be" imposed upon by these big discounts and increased taxes. They cannot afford to be silent witnesses to' these discounts and impositions, but on the contrary should endeav or to keep claimants correctly in formed and to make substantial protest against such actions. Yes, I am persuaded these officials will willingly aid any committee in publishing a tabulated report showing current expenses for the year of salaries, court escpenses, road or bridge claims, etc., the back indebtedness for one or two years of the same, and what ar rangements for paying same have been made. Surely this commit tee or the county officials can give the information why it is necessary to pay the various expenses of county goverumout in scrip in stead of cash. . Were I a county commissioner I would urge a substantial protest against all discounts of claims un der my supervision by refusing to honor any claim that had been discounted out of any funds which cost the county interest to obtain or any sinking fund borrowed. I would declare tnat only those claims that were in the hands of original claimants should be cash ed by a borrowed fund. It is not right for taxpayers to have to pay one interest, if possible to avoid it, much less to pay interest on loans and the discounts too. The people of the county should be informed what amount of the county's debt is paid to speculators instead of to the original claimants, how many claims were made larger in view of thc fact that no cash was to be had from county sources, and what per cent, increase was allowed credit or discount claims. Let the people have such in formation so that common sense will urge them to take proper steps to stop this swindling of honest claimants and taxpayers. PRO BONO PUBLICO. Airy Mound, July 19, 1897.

Very favorable reports were given of each of the above named schools except three or four. Committee on time and place for next meeting and programme for same beg leave to report in part that we recommend Friday and Saturday before tho 3rd Sun day in July of 1898 as the time and Rehoboth Baptist Church as the place for such meeting.

The statistical secretary made his report, and it was received as information and not for publica tion. Philippi Baptist Sunday-school was admitted in the convention by Dr. Ransom Timmerman. The next business was to open the question box, and some very interesting questions were found in it. Then a motion was made that the collection on Sunday be given to missions.

EDITOK: Why in the world did you allow that Gaiues-Yeldell apologist to BignfJuetice" to his article in defence of tho noxious ly shabby conduct of those noto rious "Greenwood gentlemen?" Of course the writer knows that nei ther Gaines or Yeldell, of Green wood county, have any right, legal or moral, to hold au Edgefield of fice-an office, to hold which. Gaines himself says "does not at all accord with my own ideas ot propriety." Avaunt, Mr. "Justice," for your man Gaines pleads guil ty-admitting that his sense of decency, his s^nse of right, his sense of justice, his ''ideas of pro priety," does not admit of his re siding in Greenwood county and claiming to be the State Senator for Edgefield county. "Justice'? pleading in behalf of ? an alien when that alien is alre ady self condemned by his ow D admis sions! "Justice" in this instance, in his efforts to bolster rap these 'Holdfast and Holdtighl " gentle man, makes a vain argujment-a mere travesty on "JusticeV" as it were. And "Justice's" friend Yel dell, in running for clerk -bf court of Greenwood county, and \ trying to get the appointment of* State Liquor Commissioner, virtually admitted that he too, a resident of Greenwood county, had no yight to be swinging on to an Edget?eld office. And had he been elected to either of the above mei.ticked offices, he was seeking so asaic?u ously, he would have kicked h^? Edgefield office away from him with a heartless vim, regardless^ of the wishes of "Justice," and tho "representative men from dif ferent sections of the county," whom "Justice" so eloquently quotes, and totally regardless of the now much-written-about an noyance and inconvenience of ihe dear people. Yes, that's what .Pony" would have done, as "Jus tice" well knows. "Justice," telling how some of those "representative men" talk , in reference to some of your cor respondents, says: "Some say: If Yeldell aud Gaines would throw a few bonos to those fellows, they would quit barking at them." Don bl let-s that is a good scheme, as ?hat ifi the way runk?r has it that the Greenwood boys fondled Brother Yeldell, by giving him a Hood "tip"-and who knows but that Brother Y., acting perhaps from practical experience, cast a 'bone" to "Justice" as a prompt er of that article for the defence? - RED HILL. Why take Johnson's Chill & Fever Tonic? Because it cures the most stubborn case of Fever in ONE DAY. " 'Till the Mist? Have Rolled Away." MR. EDITOR: I notice thc re has recently been a great hue and cry raised in your paper about Messrs. Gaines and Yeldell's not resigning their commissions as representa tives for Edgefield county, and an outsider judging from the wail ings of these muke believe politi eal .benefactors would think that proud old Edgefield was in great danger of being plundered, stolen and carried over to Greenwood county to be distributed among the poor offspring of its motht-r county, by Messrs. Gaines and Yeldedl. These same would be benefactors are trying to make the people of old Edgefield believe that an overwhelming majority of her voters are in favor of asking these gentlemen to resign. In fact, judging from the vehement and abusive advectives used in describing the villainy of these imaginary political renegados I was almost persuaded to believe that a majority of the people of old Edgefie d, not only wanted them to resign, but, that they were so wrought up over the matter, that if these gentlemen didn't make haste about the matter they were in immediate danger of be ing hanged for political treason, so I began to look around to see if the people were really in earnestt and.to my utter surprise, in all of my meanderings I found only a man here and there who thought they should resign their offices. I'm afraid the few I did find, were probably influenced by certain ambitious politicians, and over anxious newspapers around and about Edgefield Court House. I was talking to a prominent physician not long since, whose practice extends over a pretty cou. siderable portion of Edgefield county. He said, that in all of his rounds he had not heard a sin gle protest against Messrs. Gaines and Yeldell's holding on their full terms, and tba1, he believed the people were perfectly satisfied with present state of affairs; that these gentlemen would represent the whole people of Edgefield just as they would have done, had they remained with us. Some person or persons are not only trying to bias the people against Messrs, Gaines and Yeldell in our own county through our own county newspapers, but we suspect them of asking or seeking help from neighboring county newspapers, a Newberry paper for instance, to help run this game of bluff. The) will find in the end that their ef forts have been worsted, for Messrs Gaines and Yeldell are not so easi ly bluffed as some peoplo would suppose. Now, Mr. Editor, tjie people un? derptand ?hat this is a cut'?nd dried little gamo to foist some one on them who probably would not represent the wishes of a majority of Edgefield's voters. We recog nize the whole matter as emana ting from a very small coterie of lawyers and court house politi cians, and a few "me too's," who sneeze overytime their masters take snuff. Mr. Editor, is it not a little unu sual for ex-Governors to retrograde so far as to seek admittance to our state senate. Isn't it a fact that certain ambitious lawyers living not a thousand miles from court house square would like very much to try on Chief Justice Mc Iver's shoes next winter, when t?e weather gets cold. I simply ask these two questions for informa tion. Our advice would be, "Hold on Gaines" "Hold on Yeldell," 'till the mists have rolled away. Yours respectfully, ENQUIRER. P.etit Jurors, August Term.

JOHNSON'S CHILL AND FEVER TONIC Cures Fever In One Day. LAFAYETTE'S FAMOUS VISIT. There Wa? Great Excitement Over His Trip to tho United States. Jean Fraley Hallowell, who writes in The Ladies' Home Journal of " When Lafayette Rode Into Philadelphia," | e.iys that "it is difficult to understand at this late day what a furore of ex citement passed over this country when Lafayette urrivid once more in Amer ica. Tho visit ?B a historic event to he remembered while memory endures. Luring President Monroe's second ad ministration the Oni ted States extended its invitation to Lafayette. He arrived al; Staten Island on Aug. 15 (Sunday), 1324, accompanied hy his son, George Washington Lafayette, and also by his son-in-law. A formal reception took place on the following day, the first fruits of the moat abundant harvest of welcome which Lafayetto was to receive during his year of travel through the United States. "Lafayette was 67 yean old when he visited America as the nation's guest and carried his years lightly. His head was shaped like that of Burns. He had a high forehead, long, aquiline nose and a rather thin face. His hair waa sandy and quite plentiful. His eye? were dark gray, restless and twinkling, his eyebrows light in color, but heavily marked. His mouth was firm, and his lips smiled courteously at the holiday crowd assembled to do him honor. The general was not very tall, but well made. Hts face was distinctly pleasant, and its expression was an odd mixture of shrewdness, decision and gay good humor. His costume was a swallow tailed coat and trousers of dark brown, with a great display of white waistcoat and neckcloth. A bunch of seals hung from a broad black ribbon at his waist Over his shoulders hung a cloth riding cloak, greenish blue in color and lined with red." Summer Excursion Rates.

It corrects inability to hold urine and scalding pain in passing it, or bad effects following use of liquor, wine or beer, and overcomes that unpleasant necessity of being compelled to get up many times duringj the night to urinate. The mild and tne extraordi nary effect of Swamp Root is soon realized. It stands the highest for its wonderful cures of the most distress ing cases. If you need a medicine ycu should have the best.
