THE COMMISSIONERS7 REPLY. Published at the requestor the Board of County Commissioners. Capt. J. R. Lindsay, Business Manager of The Enterprise: In your, issue of July 16th, over the signature of "Oregon,'.' there is a question seeking to develop the reasons governing the action of the county commissioners in awarding the contract for the county advertising for the years 1889 and 1890, as has been done. Although perfectly willing to explain any official act during our past term of offloe, upon the appearance of the question of "Oregon," while of course it makes, no difference who "Oregon" is, haying a suspicion that he was more than casually interested in the matter, we sought to make him oome out and show his colors. As you say, the question is a pertinent one, or at least seems to be so, and one that anybody has a right to ask. In reply, we would remark that there is nothing criminal in the question, and we can see no yalid reason why the originator of it is so unwilling to make himself known?why he prefers to light behind a masked battery. However, he asks the question presumably for the benefit of your readers, and being one no doubt himself, we are willing that he shall take our reply into his closet ana read it all by himself. We will begin by-giving the act of the legislature approved December, 24th 1888, regulating the letting out of the contract to do the public printing and advertising of York county. The act reads as follows: Be h enacted by the senate sad hooae of representatives of the State of South Carolina, now met and fitting In general assembly and by the antbority of the ume, That from ana after the passage of this act, the county commissioners of York county be, and the same are hereby authorized and required, during the month of January in each year, to let out to the lowest responsible bidder the contract forpubllc printing and publishing all the public advertisements of said county now or hereafter required by law to be made: Provided, That no contract shall be awarded to any newspaper having a bona fide circulation of less than four hundred, wmch fact shall be evidenced by the oath of the proprietor or publisher of such newspaper; and they are hereby required to take such bond at in their judgment may seem necessary, to secure the faithful performance of said contract, and said county commissioners may, in their discretion, reject any or all bids: Provided, that nothing in this act contained shall be in any way construed to penult higher rates than those now provided by law to be charged for such public advertisements. From reading the above act, it is evident that the legislature intendedthat the contract to do the public printing and advertising for the county should be let out to th^ lowest' (not to the highest) responsible bidder, and the act certainly expresses the idea that the county should pay the person who would do the public printing, a price for such service. The act certainly doee not mean that the county commissioners should sell the contract to do said printing to the person who would pay the most money for it; such a construction would be contrary to- the plain reading of the act, as well as the object which the legislature had in view; namely, to seoure, if possible, the public printing to be done at a lower rate than the county had been paying for the same. Under the foregoing act, on the 4th of March, 1889, we notified the several publishers of the county of our intention to award the contract for the county advertising to the lowest bidder, as prescribed by law. Sealed proposals were secured from three publishers. They were all elligible under the act. To the first bidder we need not refer, as it is not probable that "Oregon" cares anything about it. The York Enterprise submitted a bid offering to do the work for "twenty-five cents per square for the first insertion, and twelve-and-a-half cents per square for each subsequent insertion." The Yorxviele Enquirer submitted a bid offering to do the u ? ?? ?">? onnoro InwAr thail the wur& L%jt uuv wu? |/v4 v -- ? lowest bid." Now, we had to consider first, was the last s bid; and second, was it the lowest bid. ^ After doe deliberation, we decided it was a bid, and if Mr. "Oregon" ever finds hitnself in a similar situation, we predict that he will have no more hesitation than we did in so doing. Although we admit that we could call to mind no precedent, however, we will stato our common sense did not feel the need of one. To sustain Our position- in the matter, we will give a most forcible example of recent date : The great State of Georgia, a short time ago, leased a railroad under a bid practically the same. Or, suppose, Mr. "Oregon," we take a very homely common sense example: If you wanted a house built, you would advertise for bids, would you not ? Well, all the contractors of the community submit sealed proposals? among those proposals is one of the most responsible and experienced contractors of the community, offering to build your house strictly according to specifications, for "one per cent, less than your lowest bid, what do you think you would do about it ? If you did not know enongh to accept this bid, you are not the man who asked this question of us, because you haven't got the intelligence to do it. Well, the matter was taken to court, and the Judge threw it out. He is reported to have said that if he had read the petition for mandamus before he signed it, he would never have granted it. Now, in fact, we state that the bids were nearly equal. When we made the award, however, we were under the impression that the last named bid was decidedly the lowest. Even if the bids had been equal and the same, the commissioners would nave awarded the contract at this time to The Enquirer, on account of its larger circulation in the county, and because it had .been established and circulated in York county for 35 years, while the other paper was a bran Dew enterprise. So the matter rested until the close of the year. When the time again came around for this moat delicate and vexatious matter, we were sorely perplexed as to what course we should pursue. OT couifee we had no interest in the matter further than securing the best service for the least money, but in view of the great dissatisfaction manifested by the proprietors of the unsuccessful papers at the result of the previous award, we even determined to ?1? m of tar- nf tha mftfit. Vftl \lft v* ai v o iiio imyviwiuv ujuvwi v? ble service, and to make the award unconditionally to the lowest bidder qualified under the act; that is, that we would give the contract to the person who would do the public printing for the least money. As the beet means to this end we decided to make the award by public auction. The publishers were duly notified, only two appearing at the time and place appointed. The bidding commenced, starting at $300, by Mr. J. R. Lindsay, and running down to one tenth of one cent by Mr. W. D. Grist. Mr. Lindsay then offered to pay|25,4for the exclusive control of the public county printing." Mr. Grist then asked, "Do you consider that a bid ?" We decided that it was not under the act, and our agreement as to how it was to be let out. All bids were then withdrawn and the two bidders retired from the commissioners' office. Upon their return the bidding was re-commenced by Mr. Lindsay offering to do the printing for five hundred and twenty-five dollars. Mr. Grist said five hundred dollars. Then the bidding stopped fearfully still. It seemed that both had struck rock bottom, and would not budge another inch. Five hundred dollars for the work f Why it seemed as if the price of advertising was rising. But we could not pay that; we could not be so reckless with county funds. We told them we would not pay it. Mr. Lindsay then slowly said four hundred and twenty-five dollars. Mr. Grist very reluctantly came down twenty-five dollars. Then there was another decided lull. In fact the bidding came abruptly to an end. Neither Sentleman could.see how they could possibly o the work for any lees, although they both had been offering to fio it for nothing ; so we decided this was not a good day for letting contracts for public advertising, and peremptorily declined to consider the bids, we concluded it was best to set another day, when we could secure the attendance of more publishers, so as to make the bidding more spirited. On the 31st day or January, 1890, we held, in our office, (and not on the court bouse steps as stated by Capt. Lindsay,) a special meeting ol the board for the sole purpose of settling the advertising contract. J. J. Hull, L. M. Grist aud W. L. McDonald were present to bid for the contract. We instituted another auction? this time, by the square instead of "by the lump." Mr. Hull bid the legal rate, which is one dollar per square for'he first insertion, and c fifty cents for each subsequent insertion, except the county treasurer's report, which is fifty cents per square. The other publishers bid under Mr. Hull and he withdrew. Messrs. Grist and McDonald continued the bidding until Mr. Grist bid 2J cents per square for the first insertion, and 11 cents for subsequent insertions. Mr. McDonald then bid 11 cents pei square for the privilege of doing the work, At this the bidding ceased. We awarded the contract to Mr. Grist. "*-"r *v* o4r inrv f Via qtl'q *f\ i>OW, i%a VUl XCKW3VUO IVi UlOAlug ?MV wtTH?v as we did: On the first occasion we refused Mr. Lindsay's proposition "to pay twenty-five dollars for the exclusiye right to do the printing," because we considered that even if we had the power to grant such a franchise, it would be exceedingly unjust to do so, in that the other papers of the county sometimes desire to print some of the legal advertising as a matter ol news, and when they do, prefer to have it fresb from first hands. If we had sold the exclusive franchise, we would have been unable to furnish the copy ol advertisements to other papers on application, and would thus deny a large number of readers, (who would probably not be subscribers to the paper that had been exclusively favored; the privilege and convenience of seeing tin legal advertising that we have to give out We informed Mr. Lindsay on the first occasion that a bid of this kind would not be considered and of course the same decision held good on the second occasion. Soon after the contract for the printing had been awarded to Mr. Grist, Mr. Lindsay apSlied for copy of all our official advertising [e was assured that it would be furnished him with pleasure. Among the advertisements given Mr. Lindsay was the treasurer's report which was furnished him in ample time tc have it appear simultaneously witn The En quirkr. H? kept the copy about one month and returned it unpublished, and by this means > showed that he was tired of being furnished with copy. It has been currently reported over the coun? ty that Mr. D. E. Finley, clerk and attorney foi the board, influenced our action in awarding the printing to The Yorkville Enquirer. It view of the fact stated above, even in justice tc our clerk and attorney, we do notdeem a denial necessary, for if wearelackingin thejudgmen! and manhood to reach our own decision in a matter of this kind, we should be loath tc place the responsibility on one who had nothing whatever to do with the matter. Thechargs seems so silly, and at the same time so malicious, that we can only conclude that it is made by some demagogue for political effect, We pronounce the charge unqualifiedly false Now Mr. "Oregon," if you are honest, the above explanation, in which we seek to denj nothing, will be satisfactory. We have tried tc do our duty in regard to the public printing honestly, impartially, fearlessly and conscientiously. For your benefit and for the benefit of the taxpayers of the county, we will state that the county advertising for this year to this date has cost York county (|7.63) seven dollars and sixty-three cents. T he expenses of the printing for the entire year, under the contract, will not exceed ten dollars. In reply to the implied charge that we have extravagantly spent York county's money, we will say that when we went into office on the 21at January, 1889, there was no money in the treasury ana we were forced to borrow six thousand Ave hundred dollars. In fact, the connty was about one year behind in financial matters. To-day the county owes no money, and there is a surplus in the treasury sufficient to run the county until the taxes for the present fiscal year shall have been collected. For further light on this subject we refer Mr. "Oregon" to the grand jury's last report. Your obedient public servants, T. Gib Culp, R. W. WHITE8IDES, William Ross, County Commissioners of York county. LETTER FRO* ROCK HILL. Correspondence of the YorkvUle Enquirer.

Sharpe in the face, causing the blood to flow freely from his nose. It required three policeman to incarcerate him. He had a hearing and was sent to York jail, by Trial Justice Whyte, for 20 days. On his return he will likely be prosecuted for resistingan officer. Mr. Harvey H. Drennan, aged 70 years, who lived near Mt. Holly church, in this township, died on Sunday last, the 10th. Mr. Drennan bad many friends who were shocked to hear of bis. death. A good neighbor and friend, husband and father, will be missed. Speaking of Mr. Drennan, a gentleman said he took the censuB of the entire county in 1860. His remains were interred at Ffshing Creek church on Monday. Mr. W. J. Roddey, of this place, and Miss Tkrinior. nf T-onpAstfir. were haDDilv married in t^e Presbyterian church at that place on Wednesday last, Rev. C. W. Humphries officiating.

Our local merchants and manufacturers made an elegant display of their goods and products in the hall of the graded school building, where the meetings were held. hal. LETTER FROM EDGMOOR. Correspondence of the YorkTille Enquirer. Edgmoor, August 11?After a few weeks' absence I again find myself domiciled at Edgemoor and engaged in the delightful task of 'teaching the young idea how to shoot." My school has been in session three weeks and I have 43 pupils enrolled. The good people of Edgemoor being alive to the necessity of education, now have in view?it may be in the far away future?a more commodious school-room with alliance hall above. The A. R. P. church edifice is completed, including pulpit, furniture, carpet, lamps, etc. The next thing in order will be a communion set and a bell. The church will be dedicated on Friday the 29th ; Key. C. B. Betts is to preach the dedication sermon. The meeting will commence several days previous,-and communion services will be observed on Sabbath. It was my privilege on yesterday to attend divine service at Hopewell, Rev. J. S. White's charge, and to hear an excellent sermon by Rev. J. W. McClure. of Newberry, from the 84th Psalm. "I'd rather be a door keeper in toe house of God than dwell in the tents of wickedness." Rev. Mr. McClure married a friend of my girlhood and I was glad to make hiB acquaintance. He had been called to Rock Hill by telegram to s$e his little daughter that was suffering with diptberia but I am glad to state that the little sufferer was so near recovery that the family would leave Rock Hill, for Newberry on the three o'clock train this morning. I have just received the sad intelligence that the teacher of my childhood years, Col. H. H. Drennan, is no more. May the Friend of the widow and Father of the fatherless comfort the sorrowing hearts of his bereaved wife and children, and may they bow in humble submission to the rod, and exclaim with Job, "Though he slay me, yet will I trust in him."

C., August7.-Mr. Editor: In looking over the report as given in youi paper of the picnic, and addresses delivered at Bethel on the 5th, I find your reporter quotes me as mentioning the fact that the seculai newspapers were quick to publish everything derogatory to the organization, <fec., which 1 hope you will correct. I will below give you my exact words as delivered that day. Aftei touching on the activity and efforts of our national politicians to cause dissensions it ~ui ranks and distrust on the part of our mem oera in our chosen leaders, I said : "We have been opposed on every hand. How quick mo* of our secular papers have been to take up and publish any thine and everything detrimental to our order, and In this waj work against our Interests, when they claim and admit lha we are the foundation of all things, both national and State ' and upon whom they are dependent for their subsistence ant existence. "Straws evidently show which way the wind blows, and thi tenor of most of our secular papers show that they lean to tlx money side, the favored few who would sink us Into the lowest depths of oblivion, provided they survive and enjoy all thi luxuries this world can possibly afford. It has afforded mi pleasure to see and know that we have been opposed 01 every hand. It has tended to strengthen our order and maki i us more inclined and determined to unite and work togethe for our mutual benefit and protection. Hence I also urgi upon you that you take our secular papers, read them in con nection with our alliance organs, bearing in mind that thi news as published in our secular papers is often gotten U| i and prepared for sensational purposes, but that the news, ai published In our alliance organs, should be the truth, the wboli truth and nothing but the truth, for the editors of such ari members of our order and have taken upon themselves thi same obligation that we have done, viz.: 'To speak the trutl when talking to a brother.' I "And lltey are talking to the whole brotherhood through thel: columns, giving weekly lectures, which I consider the rnos profitable reading matter that I get. It posts us as to the acti , and doings of ue order throughout the length and breadth o . the land. In this way we ore encouraged to push forwari In our work, and strive for the accomplishment of our object i and aims." W. N. Elder. LETTER FROM LOWRYSVILLE. Correspondence of the Yorkville Enquirer.

THAVE just received a number of the celebrated FARMERS' FRIEND TURNING PLOW, and will be pleased to have every farmer in this section who does not own a turning plow, or who wants a better one than he now owns, to call and examine our plow. It is constructed on correct principles for light running and durability, i The repairs, which are usually so expensive on turn plows, are a very insignificant matter ' on the Farmers' Friend. Its cost is from 40 to 50 percent, less than that of other first-class plows. It i9 endorsed by every farmer who has used it, which is sufficient evidence of its superiority. If you are thinking of turning under your stubble land and pea vines this fall, you are on the right track. Good farmers say it pays to turn laud of the above character, either to let it stand during the winter or to sow grain. Come and see us about the plow. We won't quote prices in this advertisement for fear you will conclude the plow is too low to be good. We have in stock the light one-horse, the heavy one-horse and tho two-horse. J. H.

ABOUT the 1st of May, 1889,1 had a severe attack of muscular or sciatic rheumatism, and was confined to my bed for weeks, unable to walk without the aid of crutches. I spent some time at Cleveland Springs, which greatly benefitted me, but my suffering continued for some months, finally settling in my back and feet. I could get no medicine to remove the pains from these parts. I was advised by a prominent physician to try Dr. HALL'S HYGIENIC TREATMENT, and ordered one of his Health pamphlets. After reading it, the treatment seemed so simple that I had no faith in it, and waited several days before trying it. I finally gave it a trial, and to my astonishment I felt relieved in twenty-four hours, and in a few davs I felt like a new man. I had not had a good night's sleep in eight months; now, after using this treatment six weeks, I am entirely well, sleep soundly, have a good appetite, and am entirely free from sick or nervous headaches, which I have always been subject to. I am so well pleased with the treatment?without drugs or medicine?that I issue this circular to suffering humanity, and do not hesitate in recommending it, and think it is as near a cure all as was ever discovered. What Others Who Have Used It Say. Fort Mill, S. C., July 23,1890. My experience in tne use or Dr. nans ny gienio Treatment lias been highly satisfactory and I can heartily recommend the same to any person suffering from sick headache. J. E. Massey, M. D. Office of T. S. Jefferys, Yorkville, S. C., July 30, 1890. I am using Dr. Welford Hall's remedy in my family and am well pleased with it. T. S. Jefferys. Yorkville, S. C., July 30, 1890. It gives me pleasure to say a word in behalf of Dr. Hall's treatment?treatment without medicine. From a constant use of it for several months, I hereby testify of much benefit derived. I shall continue to use it in my family, believing it to be indisponsable. F. A. Gilbert. A LIBERAL OFFER. I am agent for the sale of Dr. Hall's Health pamphlet, and make the following liberal offer, viz.: To any one sending me $4.00, the price or the pamphlet, and putting the treatment into practice, as directed, for one month, and not satisfied with its results, on return of the pamphlet and a pledge not to use its treatment, I will refund the money.

The best time to sow in this latitude is from about the middle of August to the middle of September; and the best place is in the cotton field. Prof. Pemberton, of Georgia, recommended the farmers of the South to sow this grain in this way years ago, and if they had taken his advice, the system would have sayed the impoverishment of the soil, fewer bales of cotton would have brought the same money, and we would have avoided buying supplies abroad.
