( An old lash ion singing school is i sadly needed in Dillon. The old j time fa-so-Li-me kind. The kind that the congregation could take a ] hand in, flooding the church with melody that reaches to heaven. One man buiidcth up and another pnlleth dewn. This is what has , befallen the corner stone where Dr- , X" Badger once dispensed drugs to the ( sick and afflicted, but ere long the ] Bank of Dill n will rear its grand proportions on the same site.

To The Editor of The State, Columbia, S. C. Referring to thejetter addressed .0 the Attorney General in regard o the DillonlCounty election pub- 1 ished in The State of April wOth md Mr. Hauler's comments therein, I wish to say that I am the author of the letter referred to, al.hough addressed to a public ofti- ] :er concerning matters that grave- ( y affect the public welfare, was oh- \ dously not intelided for publication. 11 have numerous affidavits to support the statements contained in ?id letter, a few of which have >een submitted to the Attorney jcneral, and others are l>eing oh- ; ained daily. It would he manifesty unwise to give these affidavits to :ho puhlie, Ixvausc the end for vhich they are obtained might !>e .hereby frustrated. By reference to Mr. Hamer's communication to The State, dated Apr. 10th and published in your issue of April 11th, it will l?e seen that he impliedly admits the charges made against the management of his mill, in that he modifies his sweeping denial of the previous day and f>ointedly asserts that it should have contained the qualifying words: "so far as it refers to that oflioer' (President of the Mill)? thereby leaving the charges undenied and impliedly admitted as against the management of the mill, otflerthan himself. 1 have Ix-en unwillingly drawn into the puhlie prints in this matter and. for obvious reasons, must decline to enter upon any further newspaper controversy about it.
