Relative to the "wide open" condi tion of Charleston, the governor stated that the county had the same sheriff for eighteen years and he had a repu tation of doing his duty. At 'any rate, he said. Sheriff Martin had made no report to him that he was unable to enforce the laws, and he "did not pro pose to send a military company to Charleston when you have a sheriff, a mayor and a |K?llce force to enforce the laws.

Mr Truesdel 'is now eighty four years ..t' nge and is still active. He has held the ??lli?*e of Magistrate for his township for forty-six years and has always luvn a terror to law break ers in his community.

Mcl/endoh, Sect'y. RURAL POLICEMEN Again Discussed by Mr. Black mon, of Cassatt. Mr. Editor: Have just read an ar tiele signed "Another Freeholder." After reading this article 1 am forc ed to compare him with the "two tn one shoe polish. The second ar ticle has the same misleading whang ns did the first. Mr. Freeholder pos sibly can fool some people but not all. He writes as though he lives In Flat Itoek, but is a resident ' freeholder in DeKalh. How will we ever get our linger on him. It is very hard indeed to deal with one who has more than one face, more especially if he wears a ficticious name for each. Ills arti cles remind me of l'at, the yellow jacket and the bumbl? l>ee. Fat be came very familiar with the yellow Jacket. After teasing this insect It became angry and flounced Pat and done for him what they are likely to do for any familiar person. In a few days a bumble bee came /lining 'round. Pat looked him over and made this remark "You can change, your dress but I know your voice." And so It is with Mr. Freeholder. He says that "any statement as to the sala'rv should come out of the lines Is misleading." Right here I will quote the law: "That all tines for .violation of the criminal laws is said township shall be applied to the sal ary of the policemen of said township, and all lines collected in excess of said salary of policemen shall be applied to road fund in said township." Just as plain as can be. Now if he wants to 'dm 1 back and say that the law is ndsleadiii" Cuo Is ??!> to irirwuul "lios< who made tlis* .,'iw. if I had made a mistake of ' $0,400 In my calculation, I would not mention misleading any more as long as 1 live. We people of DeKalb township should not have a word to say if Flat Rock wants or does not want rural police, and on the other hand if we, the majority of the people in DeKalb want rural police, then Flat Rock will not have any kick coming. If we can pay such olllcer with less than one third of a mill without touching one cent of the line, and I am going to prove to you that we can. then it is none of Mr. Freeholder's business.. If I should do anything or say anything that would induce Mr. Freeholder to come out with the straight goods, mi nus the fictitious name It would l>e beneficial both to him and to us. If he Is a man with influence he is doing himself a very grave injustice by plac ing between himself and the people whom he represents a fictitious wall, h wall that shines light to him but darkness to those on the other side. Frankly. 1 believe you will agree with me that It Is not pleasant to become engaged in a controversy with a ? ? Who are you?" Some people demand more respect than others and we can never deal the proper amount of re spect to him only as we guess ? and guess work Is poor policy. I will ask Mi. KK<I1<1I1I<1 a few "and Lf he will uimwcr with th<- tnilj/ht k< ><?<1h 11 will rell#V? mo and several uIIkth. Are you not the same freeholder who ttp|M>are(l In thy first article? If ho, why do you write In a wanner' to deceive the (leuple? in It because you want to run a bluff game hy making it apiH'ar that there 1h more thait One Freeholder. If you are not the name you must l?> closely related <>r have buii?|>ed heads with the llrut and catiKht the disease, lf you say your intention 1h not to mislead the public and acknowledge you live In DeKalb Township. While you were ko busy an to publish the exact amount - of taxable property In Fiat K<s-k, why <lid you not take interest in your own township Ioiik enough to tflve the exact amount of taxable property in UcKalh, which in $2,774, 009, fiRUre one-third of a mill <111 t IiIm amount and let the |H<ople of DeKulb know wluit that would amount to. J could have pub lished thin valuation in replying to flint article, but it would have been doing the people of those .townships an injustice an you did the jieople who live in DcKalb, or those who are in favor of rural police. Huppo.se they take the linen caused to be collected by these officers and use them *to pay some other Indebtedness, what frac tional part of a mill will it take to pay the salaries of these rural police? Less than 7ft per cent of one mill, if they should average the valuation and taxation. But as Mr. Freeholder sta ted each township willhave to support Its otllcer and lf he be correct, DcKalb township's extra levy will be less than half a mill? less than one-third even. Suppose we figure some as we ko, in order to keep straight as well as to keep In behind Mr. Freeholder. The valuation of the taxable property In DeKalb Is $2, 774,00ft ? multipy that by 33-100 part Of a mill, which is less than 1-3 of a mill and see if th-i resuit Is not more than $900, Then Jf Hint be the case a very small part of a mill will do what he claims It will take two mills to do. If $2, 774, (Mi? multi plied by 33-100 part of a mill is $9115, 04, there would be a remained Of $115. H4 paying ?ald oflh?er? aalary. 1 would l*? glad for the luUm*tM freeholders to 00 to ttie Auditor* of fht? and a?k to *ee the valuation of tho property In l>eKalb, and if you can u At agree with me then ask him to ttgore out H3-100 part tif one mill uq Hume and roovlnce yourself. For fear I am miHtakeu I want to refer to the ftr?t Mr. Freeholder. He saya he did not write the article, but should after getting wome one to write it tor him ami he houiuIm a loud amou then who 1h Mr. Freeholder- it in one of the t wo we are still left gUQ??W The man whom I supine to be Free holder had the nerve to tmy to me "that It <ll<l not look good for a man to light ho hard for rural jiollco wtwu the man hlmHelf wan an applicant for the position." An aaHortlon like thin does not Hound good to the applicant or the man who Is doing the HgbtUl* as. ho terms It. I was Ignorant >'f (li,. fact that it would necessitate n flgfct to get the jHmltion. The legislature did not ?ay that one must light for the position. Hut our lAJgialatttre han made lawn iu time that Justifies a man to strike in self defense, and had it not l?een for the law I guess i would have been tumbled up In the Juip 0f sonic old fence ere this. Has there ever been a time in life when Mr. Free holder asked for a position, and did ho ever make any kind of political fight In life or did the people of Ker* shnw hand over the Office to you with out either. If so they have reformed. Now this man <'an sit upon the fence and gag the i?eople with this political spur if he wants to but if lie contin ues to gag iu the same old way he will find Mr. Candidate will walk up to him after h^* next race uhd demand of him that he light and look at hto saddle, and If he waits for such to be the case It will lie a long time Iwfore he will ever bridle another political horse. The man who can Jerk and slash and spur like this one is the kind that will do to watch. ... In the future I would suggest that we take facta for facts, COrne out from your llctitlouH name and have no more "NVho are You?" 1), T. Blackmou. Cassatt, H. Route 1.
