Senator Shelor Gives Sidelights on
H i UN Introduced.
Editor Keowoc Courier: j
In the issue of Tho Courier of tiio
fi th I read an ari tole signed hy
.Messrs. Orr and McDonald, tho pur
port of which I am at ti loss to con
ceive as coming from these gentle
men, us everything has been so ex
tremely pleasant between us up to
the 5th instant. I have no axe to
grind, am looking forward to nothing
unless it be to do my entire duty to
my people who so kindly con lided
tho duty to me. 1 am in Columbia tit
a personal loss, and nothing would
keep me there except to honestly dis
charge my duty to my people.
While the article referred to does
not charge anything to me directly,
it does seem to undertake to insinu
ate. I know nothing 1 can say, in
answer to these insinuations, better
than to simply relate, in a brief way,
what has occurred beween these gen
tlemen and me since we have been
in Columbia.
Every bill referred to in the ar
ticle has been agreed upon by all
of us before it went through the Sen
ate. The bills mentioned all repre
sented the idea of your Senator, and
I introduced them in the Senate, I
am happy to say, but the same wore
redrawn by the engrossing depart
ment after our arrival in Columbia,
and were agreed upon fully before
being put through the Senate,
On the 22d at my request, Messers.
McDonald and Orr met mo in my
room at the hotel for the especial
purpose of considering those mat
ters and determining what we would
do. Every ono of the bills mention
ed in the letter of these gentlemen
. twas co^sldered^and'agi?eed%l)bn ut
this meeting - some after being
amended, however, but as they were
finally passed by the Senate.
When the matter of bonds was
brought up before tho delegation.
Messrs. Orr and McDonald proposed
to Issue these bonds by an act with
out submiting them lo a vote, when
I stated, "No, no! The approval of
the people on any such matter is in
valuable, and a satisfactory endorse
ment of the people can only be ob
tained by a vote. No, 1 can never
consent to the issue of bonds without
tho consent of tito people." After
tile discussion, pro and con,we agreed
io submit the mutter to an election,
and all of us agreed to put the bill
to that effect through. It passed the
Senate and was sent to the House,
and is now, I understand, on the Cal
endar-? suppose by report of the
Oconee delegation in the House.
As to the bill to grade a road from
Salem, by Walhalla, Seneca and
Westminster, to Knox's Bridge : In
tho meeting Mr. Orr suggested that
there was a pretty good road
already from Walhalla to South
Union, and he did not think it
would be wise to pass a bill for
that road, and asked me to agree to
amend so as to grade a road from
Salem to Walhalla and one from
Long Creek to Westminster; and
this I agreed to do, and did do before
the bill was passed in the Sonnte.
Doth he and Mr. McDonald agreed, if
1 would do this, to advocate the bill.
I so amended tho bill, and it passed
the Senate and was sent to the
House. In the House, on motion of
Mr. McDonald, the bill was referred
to a committee composed of the Oco
neo delegation. Messrs. Orr and Mc
Donald gave me no notice of this
move, considered it themselves, re
ported it adversely and had it killed.
J know nothing of this procedure
until 1 observed it in the Douse Jour
nal.
As to tho bill to abolish the office
of County Commissioner and estab
lish an Advisory Hoard to the County
Supervisor, it was agreed upon by
the delegation, and I took a copy of
the bill In person to Mr. McDonald,
and he approved it and stated that it
was all right: and 1 am informed it
is now on tho House Calendar with
s mendments by ono of the members.
Tho rural constable bill was also
agreed upon In tho meeting of the
delegation, in conference, but evon
before this Mr. McDonald advised
with mo ?md advocated tho bill bo
zo uso, ho said, he wished to see tho
law enforced In reference to prohibi
tion, and if it was dono it would have
lo bo dono by an officer other than
tho Sheri ff.

The Deadly Auto.
(Toccoa Record. Feb. G,)
On Friday afternoon, a party of
motorists, on coining down Dick's
Hill, discovered an injured man,
lying by the roadside. When they
had carried him to a near-by bouse,
he revived enough to reveal his iden
tity as Hite Heck, who had Just
moved his family to Toccoa, near
Toccoa Cotton Mills, from Heber
sham county.
According to his statement, he was
returning to his former home, and
ns he was ascending the hill, was
struck by an automobile, receiving
injuries which proved to be fatal,
'ihe driver of the car did not oven
stop to ascertain the extent of bis
injuries.
Mr. Heck was removed to his home
here, where he died Sunday morn

Farmers Aro Winning.
Columbia, Feb. 8.-The farmers
ure beginning to win their fight, said
Commissioner Harris to-day. I nm
Just in receipt of uuthenic informa
tion that the cotton mills of North
Carolina have agreed to curtail their
production, cutting it in half. Thin
moana but one thing. They aro out
of cotton and aro afraid to go into
?he market for stocks. I have stated
horotofore that their easy acquiesc
ence In tho demand for an eight
hour day was merely to fight tho cot
ton farmer. This action in North
Carolina helps to prove it. I also
have official information that tho
salo of fertilizer in South Carolina
?ft but 10 per cont normal. This
shows that tho farmors aro sticking.
I appeal to ovory county to send a
