McDowell has been called to serve Cross Roads church again next year. Saluda church twet Sunday after noon to call a pastor for another year. Nearly all the cotton is gathered and sold. There is not more than half a crops up here. Thoie that had their crops destroyed the first of June an<' planted over about the middle of June are not going to make enough to pay the rent. The majority of them can't pay a cent on their liens and live. There are going to be more hungry people in No. 7 than there have been for years this winter. The frost finished up the late cotton. Mr. Geo. Reid, of Old Town, car ried his corn shredder home Satur day, from E. L. Leavell's, to shred his corn. Mrs. Jim. Johnson is on a visit to her father in Greenville. Mr. J. S. Dominick put in his wheat with a drill this year. There is very little wheat being sown this year up here. I am glad to learn that MIr. Jno. WN.

I learn that a negro child or two was burned to death near Old Tomv last week, roasting potatoes. G. B. D AS TO SUPERVISOR SCHUMPERT. Bachman Chapel Correspondent StIll MaIn tains There Has Been a Reckless Expenditure of County Money. Slighs, November 26.--Mr. Ed. itor, I thank you for your criticism. We never object to honest criticism, and wvhenever a man, espccially a p)ublic servai't, becomes too tender to be criticised, it is time to lay that fellow down to rest. But, NI r. lEditor, vou repeatedly said that we should he fair and just. That is exact ly what I am contending for, anid hand it niot been for the sake of fairness and jutstic, I would not have said what I did. WVe are to gether in this particular. The onily diference is, you are contending for justice in behalf of Mr. Schum pert, and I am contending for jus tice in behalf of the tax payers. I believe in being fair and jutst and, above all th ings, mn being consistent What I said about Supervisor Schumpert was altogether based upon the presentment of the grand jury. I supplosed and still sup. poseC that these gentlemen knew what they were talking ab)out; but as the courts have the matter in .hand now, I shall not go into fur ther detail. But let us see if there is so inutch inij ustice in what I said. As the editor would have' it ap pear, myI assertion was that there has been a reckless exp)end(itulre of the pulic funds of the county, and I think the editor has shown this~ even1 more plainily thant I did. I thank you, Mr. Editor, for your dlesiredl in formation. You hiave shown us clearly where $ 2,ooo of our motney has gone. You say that we have a steel bridge in the( lower part of the county. Leaving~ nout of cnsidrartion a few merchants please tell us how much good this will be to the taxpayers of New berry county. Then you say we have good roads machinery. At the speed it is running now please tell us about how many miles of good roads it will build within the next ten years. Oh, bot you say we have sewerage in the jail and courthause! But is it not a fact that this stan s locked up from the general public? Now, bear in mind, the editor has accused me of being unjust in my criticism. If I don't prove that I have been truthful, according to the editor's own statement, I am willing to throw up my hand and cry out guilty. You acknowledged, Mr. Editor, that so large a contract as putting in the sewerage should not have been let without first ad vertising for competitive bids. Then certainly you must say that this is a reckless way of doing business. Is it not ? I have been informed by several citizens of your town that the work could have been done at a saving of several hundred dollars to the county had the contract been let to the lowest respi)onsible bidder. You agree that it was a waste of money to put sewerage in the basement of the court hou-e. Thei, according to your own statement, this was a reckless expenditure. Just what I said had beein (loie l you say it was proper to have the scwerage put in the upstairs to the Conit house. Have you forgot that a little more than a year ago you were among the strongest advocates of tearing down the old courthouse and building a new one at some more suitable place, leaving this whole public square for the bene fit of the country people ? We were heartily in favor of this plan, Mr. Editor, and voted with you for a new court house. Now we liope that you have not changed your opinion in this respect, and if you have not, it certainly was a waste of money to have any improvement dut on the old building whatever. You can then ce that while I enieve in fairnes- an.-d justice that I also believe in consistency. Yes. there are nany other things that I shall refrain from mentioning. So, Mr. Editor, let us never be come too tender to bear honest criti cism, and always remember to crit. cise where criticism is due. And never forget to be consistent. T. J. v.
