BRELAND EXPLAINS. Walterboro, Dec; 26, Special Editor The Press and Standard:—In the last issue of your valuable paper, J. S. Jordan, O. G. Bridge, and G. L. Smoak ask for information, wanting to know why I made a discount. I made none. I simply charged each manager and clerk of managers of election ten cents. When I was made chairman of Board of Commis sioners of State and County, I stated that I would collect for managers and clerks etc. for 10 cents for each man, or they could collect for them selves as is law. The Commissioners only have to approve such claims, make statements to said to the Comptroller General, and draw their pay. All the managers sent me their claims authorizing me to col lect. I did so and took ten cents off each one's pay as I said above, left their money with Treaa. Jones, who is doing my work through kindness for me, and saving trouble for the managers and clerics, for otherwise they would have to come to my home to get their checks. > Hope Mr. Jordan and pals will reed a little more law and find out if I am required tto doMheir work for Classified Advertisements.

After an illness of two weeks and three days, with skilled physicians, doing all in their power to relieve her sofferings, she was called from her earthly home to her bright heme io heaven above. At about the age of twelve she joined Bethel Methodist church, and lived a consecrated Christian life until her death. She has gone from our midst, bat her work or love and kindnem still remains- in the hearts and lives of thoee she hat- left behind. Bat oh.it is so comforting to know that while she was onoe suffering, she iif now in that beautiful Oity with her -jord and ^ngels, where she will for ever more be waiting for her loved-onee to meet her on tne blissful shining shore. How greatly she is missed I but she now worships In the Ohnrch above. The interment took place at Bethel Cemetery on Thursday. Dec.
