Tho law says-Roviscd Statutos, Soo-1 tion 1: "From tho Stalo of Ooorgia South Carolina is divided by tho Savannah river from its ontranco into tho ocean to thc confluouoooi tho Tngaloo aud Seneca rivers, t?ic.-i j? by tho couiluonuo of ?ho Ttigaloo and CSiattooga rivors, tbonoo by tho Chattooga rivor to tho North Caro lina lino aforesaid, in tho thirty-fifth dogroo of North latitude, tho lino hoing low water mark at tho Southorn shoro of tho most Northern stream of said rivors whoro tho middle of tho rivors is brokon by islands, and tho midd lo thread of tho I stroan! when tho rivor Hows lu ono | stream or volume." "Itomomber, now," that tho middlo | thread of tho rivor is tho lino at Pro flier's bridgo, and that Mr. Maloy doos| not know tho law. "liomombor, now," that Mr. Unley | docs not know whoro tho "board's au thority stops." Tho next question Mr. Haloy asks is: "Aro tho pooplo ablo now to boar tho taxation to robuild tho bridgo, ospooially when ho 'remembers' tho county ia al ready some )ivo thousand dollars in dobt, placed on us by a provfous administra tion. "ltomembor, now," that tho Prattler's bridgo was built by a contract with Ilaborsham county and with sundry citi zens of Oconco who put tnonoy into it to tho amount of somo aovon hundred and fifty dollars, and tho contract with Hab orsham county was solomnly and legally outorod into by tho representatives of I each county, and duly signed and wit nesscd at tho roBidonoo of Col. Wilborn, near tho bridge, and tho parties who signed tiio contract to build tho bridgo and keep it in repair aro still living and the Legislature cannot annul or do away with that contract, nor tho Supremo Court, nor any other court (oxcopt it might bo Judge Haley's court, .ludgo Haley presiding, and Judgo Haley plain till', A c.,) can Bot asido tho contract ox copt for cause, and Ibero is no cause and tho contract must stand. Ilaborsham county can go on and build tho bridgo and sue Oconco and make us pay our part, of tho expenso and costs. "Itomombor, now," that this will hoi harder to do "with t-eont cotton" than' to repair tho bridge, and, "romombir, now," also, that tins idontical samo Mr. Haley was a star of tho first magnitudo in tho "previous administration" that ho says placed this fivo thousand dollar debt on us. Mr. Haloy "romombers" there are plenty of public bridges and jood fords accessible, and that tho peo ple are poor, and do not pay much taxes near l'rathor's bridge, and that tho bridge is no uso, but does not say why private citizens, being poor and sparsely settled, should put their banda ill (heir own pockets, and pay about ono-half of thc cost of this exponsivo and usolcss bridge. Whoro has any other people in the county dono as much'.* The Tngaloo Valloy, from Fort Madi son to Rrasstown, has had only ono chango in its roads in twenty years, and that to tho value of $71. Still ho "re members" "tho amount of money tho county now bason tho uppor Tugalooby reason of Ibis samo l'rathor's bridgo." Tho Tngaloo Valloy from Kort Madi son to Hrasstown has novor had a con vict on its public roads. Tho Tugaloc. Valley from Fort Madison to Hrasstown has never had tho road machino in its midst. Still wo arc berated bocauso, for sooth, wo dare open our mouths and ask for a portion of our rights. Ile goes on to say our people, who baye sons at Ciel iRon, (our own college), pay toll to go to soo thom, ovor Havonel's bridgo. Can anyone tell who Mr. Maloy' calls his own pooplo, or who ho thinks owns Clemson College? Ho calls it their own college He evidently does not moan tho people on thc upper Tngaloo or Chat tooga, for all tlioy have been paying taxes for its supporta long timo, and also havo paid taxes to build a $:i,f>00 iron bridgo at tho lower end of tho Clemson place, and havo not ni ado as much fuss about it as Mr. Haloy has about repairing one half of l'rathor's bridgo at a cost of say $7?O. Friends, whon you go to donison, go by tho iron bridge. It ia the best way, and tlioy don't chargo toll. As for tho-if not ungentlemanly-at least unwarranted and uncalled-for per sonal flings Mr. Haloy choso to maka at me, I would say that 1 havo been in Oco nco county as long as Mr. Haloy has, and I pay taxes in Hahersham and ho docs not, and am in need of a bridgo to the Scott place as much as Mr. Haloy a graded and macadamized road > Haley's storo. I have had nothing to lo with bankrupting tho county, havo always paid my just debts, havo holpcd build two free bridges that Mr. Haloy and tho peoplo have boon using a long timo. Mr. Haloy says, in conclusion, that "it would ho a pleasure for mo to build them Ibis bridge could I conscientiously bell OYO that tlioy woro not better pro vided for in tho way of free crossing than tho remainder of tho county, and if I could do KO without Invading our air' ady over-burdened tax-payers with a tai: too heavy to bo borne, to justify tho outlay, and, further, provided I could do so legally." That is, perhaps, tho most egotistical and solf-conccitcd paragraph I have road in a long time. Mr. Haley seems to think or suppose there is nono ll but "I." Ho seems not to "romornbor now" that there aro two other goM lernen on tho board, of equal authority wit h "I," and equal, if not superior, in intelligence with "I," and equal, if not superior, in other ways with "I." Prom tue way he uses the "I" one would think tho tiling was sottlod, but I hopo ho will get II?H eyes open and seo the law, tho justice and the right, and join in with us and rebuild the bridge. I confidently believe, tho board, ora majority of the sanie, will do so, and end the trouble. Very truly, A. ZIMMKUMAN. . -i-i-i Tho Kev. \V. B.
