Richland, Jan. 8.-Editor Keovee Courier: Please give me spneo in your paper to correct some errors in the article ol' last week as to the de struction, by lire, of my residence. On the morning of January 2d, at ?I o'clock a. m., T wu:, aroused by Mrs. Dendy, who told mo how strong she smollod smoko. 'We were sleeping lu the west end of the house, which ls 55 feet long, and I passed through a hall into tho parlor, located In the east end. I found I was in a furnace, and wont back and out at wost end. then around outside to east ond. I knew at once lt was the work of an incendiary. This I knew beyond a doubt. My wife and I screamed aloud, and a tenant, C. J. Kennedy, wife and two brothers-in-law, came to our aid, and with their help a near by smoke-house was saved. Had this burned I would have lost my buggy house, my lumber house, two cribs and my stables, and very likely my barn, all of which were saved. My loss was indeed very heavy, as I was surrounded with plenty to enable us to live in ease and comfort If not In luxury; and yet we lost all except our night clothes, one feather bod and pillow and Mrs. Dendy's land papers. No, "We made various fruitless ef forts to get blood-hounds; still we were very fortunate in having some men residents here who were possess ed of a high order of detective per ception and genius. Notably among them are C. J. Kennedy and Jackson Hopkins, and many others of proba bly equal perseverance and tact. I do not remember to have heard of the muddy ocks in window, yet that may have been true. Two heavy losses to me were those of my land papers and my library, the latter of which could not he dupli cated, as many of my highest prized j volumes are out of print. The libra ry was worth $75 at least. 1 believe that If we had remained in the house two minutes more we would both have been cremated. j Respectfully, M. H. Dendy. _i . ^ Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is a very valuable medicine for throat and lung troubles, quickly relieves and cures painful breathing and a dangerously sounding cough which indicates congested lungs.

Madison, Jan. 7.-Editor Courier: It seems that our little article writ ten for The Condor recently In re gard to the bad condition of publie roads, and tho apparent neglect of duty on the part of road olliclals, has stirred up a hornet's nest and put the ladies away over lu Kuluin county, Georgia, on their metal. Now, ladles, we have no quarrol to make with you, God bless you. But wo are not much afraid, simply because we know that If you start down bore with all the shotguns and Carrie Nation hatchets In Kabun county you can never get here until your father works out the road, and If ho con tinues lils usual move we will have ample time to dig a storm pit big enough to hold ourselves and all the neighbors who have ever said any thing about the public roads. Then, too, we know your father would never allow his girl children to travel our roads In their present condition for fear of bodily harm. Hence I fth? not afraid. We place no blame on ;. ou, ladles. From the fact that you sign your article "Daughters," we suppose you are not subject to road duty, unless you happen to be daughters with beard on your faces. In this case they might press you Into service; or If you succeed In the future to get your daddy's breeches on, that may cause people to think that you were liable to road duty. We will ask you In this case to be careful, as you In structed me to be careful, though we don't think you will succeed In your ? efforts. Your daddy's breeches are probably several numbers too little for either one of you. We have nothing personal against any official pf our county. Our criti cism In the past has only been dl ; reeled against the public road system . and the apparent neglect of duty of the county olliclals. Nor do we think we are the only one complaining ! about the bad condition, of the roads. lt seems that Clemson College, one ! of the finest schools In our State, with Its whole district, Is making a strong effort to be annexed to Ander son county, simply because they can not get their roads repaired by Oco nee officials; and we have been told that their roads are now a hundred per cent better than the roads In our vicinity. Now, Daughters, suppose you write an article and tell the pres ident and trustees ol' Clemson Col lege to stop their hot air explosions over there. Do you suppose they I would pay any attention to you at all? Tiley think they have a reason for their course. We also notice au article written for The Courier from Mount Pleasant, stating that the roads in that section are in bad con dition, and that they have not been ! worked In over a year. This corres pondent also states that there have ( been both money and labor paid in that the road has not received. Won der what those Georgia daughters think ol' that correspondent? Sup . pose they think he ls full of hot air . because he don't want lils vicinity im posed on by our county officials. Now, Daughters, we know your father well; we voted for him; we did what little we could to elect him to the ofllce he now holds; we think now that he ls an honorable and truthful man. But, unfortunately for him and for our county, nature seems io have bestowed, in some mysteri ous manner, all the hot air of that whole rare family upon the two : daughters, and when they aaw that j their father would be elected they j knew just what kind of condition the I roads would be In pretty soon, and they emigrated to Georgia before the roads got so bad that they couldn't get away, and of course they took all ' the hot air with them, and our coun I ty seems to have been left with an ! officer In charge of public roads who I seems to be cold as an Iron wedge. I We wish we had officers full of hot ? air. Thank God we have go! hot air j In us. When a man ls cold he ls j usually dead, and If he ls not dead he might just as well be. Did you I know that, Daughters? We think any ! citizen of our county has a perfect j right to complain of all public mat j lei's as regards county government, I etc., when he thinks they are not i what they should be. Now, dear Daughters, you think we i stand in need of the mercies of God. That is the truth, thank you, and we are not alone in the matter. All the people in our neighborhood need the mercies of God. If there is a Chris tian in our whole vicinity it's a man who never tries to travel the roads. We don't see how you can expect a man to travel the roads In their pres ent condition and remain a Christian. Now, dear Daughters, we will go out and look after a gang of hands we have digging our storm pit. We want to finish it before this letter ls published) and get in and shut tho door, so Ilia? fr there Happens to como a storm we will be safe. But I am going to leave a little hole open above the door, just big enough to let the hot air out, and we can quarrel through this hole when you come with your hatchets and shotguns. We now raise our hat to you, ladles, and make the humblest bow we can un der the circumstances. We can't quarrel with ladies, nor with a mau if he is under a petticoat. We there fore throw ni) the sponge. We're off to the storm pit! Bye,bye. and God bless you! .1. A. Cook.
