At a meeting of the County Board of Contederate Pensions, held on Monday September 3, 19U6, the fol- minute was adopted by a rising vote. The seat of Stobo It Perry is va cant to day at our annal metting,*- he lies wrapped in hia burial robes at his home near ( ottageville, having received the summons to depart and be at rest at sunset on last afternoon (the Sabbath) after a half hour’s iljness. We feel assured that he was ready to obey, for his life amid us so exem plified. For many years a member of the Methodist church, he took great interest in the extension ef the Redeemer's kingdom by that denomi nation, and indeed by all others. This board has lost a valued member, one who was ever earnest for the wel- fate of the Confederate soldier. In the war between the States he volunteered early in Capt Bellinger's company, the Colleton Guards, and was a sergeaut therein; afterwards was a Lieutenant in Co “B” 3rd S C C, and surrendered with at the close of the war. True to his duties in all the relations of life, to his family, to his country, to his friands, to his God—^he faced the ills of life with patient fortitude, and death with christion hope.” Resolved—That a copy of above minute be sent to his afflicted family, as a token of onr deep sympathy for them, his great worth and our deep affection for him, and be published m The Press and Standard.

We have not beard from four polls in the race for treasurer, Adams Kan, Colleton, Hickory Hill and Warren’s X Hoads. The,other 27 give Joues 1,000 votes and Marvin 860. For county Commissioner 22 polls give Ulmer 761, Crosby 761, Dopson 743, Blocker 68J„ The law provides that the candidates file expense accounts before and after each election. Unfortunately for Cros by and Blocker their expense accounts it is reported were not tiled till yester day and today. We do not know what action will be taken by the executive committee; bat it seems they have no alternation and will have to declare the election in favor of Ulmer and Dopson. State Election.

Replies to Voter. Editor Press and Standard: Please allow me space in your columns to reply to a letter I read in your paper two weeks ago. It was written prin cipally on stock-law, and signed “A Voter.” He says “I think it well for the voters to look into this matter before they cast their ballots.” I agree with bun there.. “Beware of thieves that come to you in sheeps clothes, but inwardly ' they are ravening wolves.” Now as to the questions he asks. How will this fence be built? And who will be benetitted by it? As to the fii^t question—There are some men living along the f^nce, that separates us from stock law territory, who are willing ^nd do keep up their portion of this fence. Those who will not we can help, and it can be done without taxation, besides it is unconstitutional to raise taxes for sneh a purpose. What are you kick ing about th*n? He says: “We are living in an age of progress, enlightenment, and civil ization. Just the idea of cutting ourselves off irom the progressive world is enough within itself to make any man, etc.” Have we not always been cut off from the rest of the State, and the progressive world as he calls it, since the stock law was passed? And I believe that Colleton county is as progressive and enlightened as any county in South Carolina. The idea is absurd for au intelligent man to think that an ordinary fenc; will cat ns off from progress and civilization when the mountains and ooeans have not done it As to the second question. Who is t« be benefitted by it, (the fence)? The tarn e s, of coarse. To whose interest is it to fence eff if not the farmer and landowner? I know of not a single man in the county that you could call a stock-raiser? for the majority of the farmers of our county raise stock. Are you going to call the farmers stock raisers? If so, then there is not a little insignificant batch of them as you said. You are crying about high taxes, vote for stock-law—force the farmers to sell their stock, and see where the taxes will go. The tax that the cows no./ raise will have to come from somewhere, and where is it to come from then, except the land. He says, “let ns put a hundred farmers on the ten thousand acres of land that one stockman can manage, and then we will have prosperity.” There are thousands of acres of land in this county , that are good for nothing except to raise stock on. I would like to see him put farmers on it, and have prosperity, when it will not produce anything except broom grass- lie tells you that on election day vote !br stock law and become a part of the enlightened world. Are we not already living in the enlightened world? I am, but I don’t know whether you are, or not from the way you talk. “Stock law doesn’t take anything from any man. It only makes every one take care of his own,” so he says. I think that there is not much man in the one who needs a law to make him take care of* what he works for. It is not more laws, or more men that we need f but more ma n Lwould like to ask, do we vote a hardship on the masses of our people when we fence off irom stock law? I say no. For the masses,of our peoplejare farmers who raise stock. Now fellow farmers we hear on every side that there will be a big license tax on onr cattle. Some would have you believe that there' 1 is a law on the statute boojes of South Oarolina to this effect already. But there is not, and no such, law can be until the next legislature meets. The thing for ns !o do is vote -ag&inst stock law, and then tell onr represen tatives what we want, and I believe this section that favor stock law are those who have but two or three cows, and. Jt seems as if they hate to sec their neighb< rs cattle eat the gross which God put here for them. Of course,not alifslocklaw peoplea-e this way, and 1 hojte that my friend. “Voter,” is not—for if he is he could not say to other people remember the golden rule, “Do unto others as you would have them to do unto you.” Now Iriend, “Voter,” 1 would like for you to consider well what you wrote, and set* if you were right. Let ns all go to the i>ol!s on the day of the general election an 1 vote agtinst stock law. end btenne a separate world, as “Voter” would have you believe. With best wishes to The Press and Standard.
