' Br -f!? ^bblic. or p / The editor of The Herald was Ma}- as jr. , / or of Dillon when Mr. B-msn 1 mndv *e\ his first visit to Dillon lor the purpose of extending the X. A.- S t'. j., railroad from Clio to (his point. vv*j Before taking any definite net ion Mr. Bonsai said he wanted, as an \VI inducement to bring the railroad by ;j, Billon, "a right of way beginning at a point two miles out from Clio, j), through the town of Dillon and two miles out o! town in an easterly direction. Also he wanted a site 150 feet wide and 300 feet long lot Bl a depot." litis proposition was made to council and the mat tor was referred to a committee consisting 0!l of Dr. J. H. David. Dr. Wade Stark- * house and Mr. \V. M. Hauler. s?> 'J* lected by the citizens to represent th al town of Dillon. " The site for a depot was com ributed by Messrs. J. W. and 'I'. A. Dillon free of cost and a deed for the same 'was properly executed to in the N. & S..C. railroad. Mi Now Mr. Bonsai alleges thai tin a|: committee has failed to carry out its agreement in that it did not se- m cure the proposed right of way, but .|that the right of way was secured iei largely through the efforts of the di N. & S. C. railroad at an expendi- j|i ture of nearly <8000. vvj To rclriin.rivt the N. A- S. ('. piRailroad, it is understood, to the m extent of <8000, certain i?roperty jn on East Main street was condemned* tji by process of law and the same was ,t to have been conveyed to theX. A.- ;n S. C. railroad, but that opposition .,y had arisen to a proposed bond is- o sue to the extent of <10,000 to he -p used In purchasing the property. te The railroad alleges that the coin- >c mtttee has failed to carry out its th agreement, and the committee a lie- an ges that the citizen^ have failed to ,)f support them in their effort to car- ae ry out the agreement, and there ,re the matter hangs. ? )< But the reputation of the town is qi at stake. Dillon has always been its known to carry out its agreements ie and the longer the matter stands th as it is the more the reputation of to the town suffers If there is a mis in understanding between Mr. Ilonsal and the committee, or the committee and the citizens who guve them the t'l authority to act for the town, it does seem that all parties in in lorcsi cuuiu net lORPinw illld Sol- | rtle the matter one way or the other.

The most of my J cases are always settled, the costs H paid and the money turned over to ' the county treasurer, and report W made to the auditor. I don't see l? how any Magistrate could afford to I apply one copper to his own use E. when he makes oath that all exits E. and fines have l>eeu paid over to H. the county treasurer. The oath Is 8. always made before the Count> b Board of Commissioners who issue D. Checks to pay their claims I al- 1 ways make monthly reports to the E. Auditor. If I don't oollcet any T thing I make a report so the And- I W Itor will know that nothing has been W Paid to the trmunr?r i q?i? --t party or parties to go and inspect H.

This is my E. firat writing, Mr. Editor, for rtu- C. public and I hope you will give it C. pace in your paper I felt like I would not be doing my self justice J it I failed to show to the public my J position.

Sat u"day night Jackson came down town for a shave and he was seen to leave the barber shop about U o'clock and walk off in the direction of Hamilton's stables. Ho appeared to b<i somewhat und r the influence of liquor but was in full possession of his faculties. That was the last time he was seen alive. Sunday morning: his body was found \v? dged in between the ties of the railroad track a! t: point a few feet north of the railroad crossing in front yf the Dillon Wholesale Citociry. His neck was broken at the base of the skull, there were several scratches mi his nose, a slight abrasion ott the right shoulder and a wound under tlie chin. The presumption is that the young man was walking down the railroad track and was t'tv.ck hv train .No S2. northbound. ?nd hurled against the side track with such violence that his ne? was broken, although the coroner s jury, after deliberating over the evidence mhiuittcri at the inquest, returned a v edict to the effect that the deceased came to his death in a manner unknown to the jury. Some of young Jackson's friends incline to the opinion that lie was tnuribvid and that his hod> was pin ??d on tlr? rail to cover crime.
