Sam and Jnke.
These two seem to be great
cronies, but on the occasion of
their usual weekly meeting on

considerably disturbed and out
of humor with his chum. Our
reporter was as usual on hand
for anything that he could catch,
and was on the lookout for them
when they met at the back of
Springs & Shannon's lot.
Jake appeared to be busy in
making his mule comfortable for
the day and paid no attention to
Sam nntll he opened up on him
with:
"Huh! you black rascal, you

Am Explanation.
Mr. Editor: In "The People"
of February 25th there appeared
an article beaded, "From Lu
go9/'4nd signed UR," I find
t|ia^ thire in some misunder
standings concerning that arti
cle: First, itv seems to be the
opinion o# some parties that the
article was wffttten as a defense
of'fir. J. A. Rabon. Such is not
tbffoase.
I -tan a citizen of Wateree Town
ahM I pay taxes as such, and
Ictjfam the right to criticise any
public work that in my opinion
is not properly or economically
doti(e. I have a right to express
my, opinion in the public papers.
Th^t article expressed my opin
of a certain piece of work. The
matter of J. A. Rabon has no
thing to do -with it. I am neither
tfee'defender nor the prosecutor
of J. A. Rabon. I hope this is
plain.'
Secondly. Borne gentlemen
take' exceptions to the following
sealeaces which 1 copy from the
preyious article: ,
"Properly placed, one pipe
would have carried all the wa
ter; bat, as it is, water must pond
on the upper side of the road
until a good sized field becomes
a pond two feet deep before a
drop of water can enter either
of two 12 inch draw ' pipes laid
sideby side. Does not this dam
age the field beside the road?"
"By what manner of engineer
ing do we find it necessary to
put two pipes 12 inches in diam
eter under a roadbed to drain a
two or three acre cultivated
field with absolutely no stream
of water."
Now, it seems that some un
derstand me to say that* the wa
ter will pond over the two or
three acre field. I do not say
that Or, if any one understands
me to have said that, why, I will
explain what I meant to say, and
still think I did say it would
pond on a "gooa sized field."
I do not think the pond water
would cover half an acre. I claim
that those pipes drain the culti
vated field, which I am told is
between one and one- half and
two acres of cultivated land, and
not leaf than one acre of uncul
tivated land.
Thai is, those pipes are prima
rily to carry across the road all
thejnda water that will fall on the
landthat slopes into that basin,
or bottom. I claim that the pipes
are % iTetn tf&t leas than three
acrea of land. I do not elaim
that half an acre will be flooded
by what I think Is a faulty posi
ttotr of the pipes.
1 hate absolutely no personal
I
motive In criticising? thi& work
I sure the interest I n iturilly
have in the land in question, and
the proper* and economical ex
penditare of the county taxas. I
wrote the previous article over
$jh e nom de plume, "B. " 1 hope;
that I have explained away any
misunderstanding.
