Its V great champion has wilted under ' the storm of popular disapproval and will not even he a candidate, y He has seen which way the breeze C is blowing and had rather trv it in l t the general election. * Si Conway has been building during a the past few years more than ever b in her history. Still there are scores e of vacant lots to be filled. What a ^ different appearance it would g yc f< to the place if all the vacant lots a- a long Main street, even in the busi- r ness portion of the town, were filled with imposing brick buildings! If our large property owners are anx iousJtO'Leo the town grow, let them cut up their holdings into suitable b cottage lots and offer them to the v public at a reasonably fair price. We J.1 guarantee that the change here in the course of a year or two would 01 be marvelous. ti h It seems that one provision of the w courthouse bill to which some of our s citizens obieet more than in anv #if its other prov ions, is the levy of a tax of one mil: <>n the dollar for the ? purpose of raiding the necessary w funds. All will ;i jv at least those w who have given ibv subject the con- ' sideration it deserves, that the new buildings are needed. That the h county is not keeping step with the d march of modern progress if these buildings are longer neglected. Taking this for granted then, we do \ not see how any reasonable man c can object to this small tax. Think 0 about it! The man who has been paying taxeson five hundred dollars worth of property, will have his I taxes raised to the amount of the r:/4.. 1 " ti ofucm oiiin ui 111ty ci'nis. vjiin iiiis | be said to be oppressive upon any i one of the small taxpayers of the \ county? The burden cannot be heavy t upon the masses of the small prop, j erty owners. The most of the bur- c den will necessarily fall upon the \ large owners of wealth. v The campaign will soon be at i hand and the voters of the county v will have to decide again who it is 1 f] that they wish to fill our county of - ^ flees. A This matter of choosing our public ^ servants, is one of more importance * than sometimes?yes, often?is accorded it. How often are men elccted to offices of public trust, not be cause they arc competent and good r men, but because of prejudice or some political bias! And how (] strange that the voter will often al- \ low himself to become blinded by v these same forces, and vote for the (! u man who has nothing but these s things to recommend hi in. n We cannot be too careful about t our selection of public officers. The c* u results of a wrong eh>iee art (j j enough to convince anybody of this " , fact. It is no use to mention instan. a ^ I ces hen- no one who will reflect1 cods t?? bo reminded of instances. As the time fen* voting approaches, 1 should decide upon our choice f candidates, and make this telec ion by a careful consideration of ic qualifications of each aspirant, nd eleet men upon their merit. Concerning the Stock Law. Editor IIkhai.d: I would like nine of your valuable space in which a express my views on tin* subject f the Stock Law. I shall talk in a lain back wDods way. I ha*'o ever written for a paper; but I cent it my duty to say something gainst this law, in favor of which sentiment seems to hr growing in oino quarters. The people should deeply consider his mutter before they vote. The no fence" law will make your rieuds your bitterest enemies. I n or it you would leave to keep up he pasture fences and the farm i dices also if you are to let your lock have the run of the Held. In ivo yours after the passage of the aw, hogs would bo as scarce as ours. When the hogs are taken ip to fatten, the cholera will kill >nc half of them and the rest will tarvc to death. I logs do better vhen they can run at large. Such i law would cause us to have three >r four magistrates in each town hip. They'll have no time for anyliing but to read law and hear rials, and tliov must lie paid s.iln ies. How iiuvn.N cows do you raise now md how many do you kill for beef? ' nder the stock law you could not a si these cattle. You would have mL one cow. She would eat the ?. I Ic ll'IIVOM SI Iti I null In.I > ? l.ii lw. iiid she would be half dead. It a ill be too lute after the law is ipon us. Now is the time for eon[deration. I was brought-up where his daw is in forte, aid I know ust what I am talking about. 10. .M. Mkakks.

Editor IIkiiai.d: ?I do not like to e (involved in a newspaper oontro ersy, but my name lias been used 1 a way that may place me m a dse li#ht before the people. About a year a#o, I was inform i il that there was some trouble about lie road, about which Mr. Watts lias: ad so much to say. I examined ' lie road with Mr. A1 ford. There as a piece of ditch already rut, I upposo by I lie road hands, and Mr. Llford said ho wished to turn the ,'ater so that his farm would not l e abject to overflow as his ditch was ot sufficient to carry olT all of the I rater. I said to Mr, Alford that it rould bo impossible to turn the warn* as lie wished, as it was up hill. I suppose he thought differently, .idling by his action since. 1 told .m that the best thin# for him to o was to clean out the ditch above lie road, then put a trunk with a ate in thebank above, and I would ave a trunk put through the road, Whenever there was a freshet ho ould shut down the #ate and turn IT the water as t..e ditches could arry it off. I thought he would do ^ I said. When the chain #an# was near ?ort Harrelson, I informed Mr. AI jrd that we would move the #an# o the Potato lied Ferry road, but O ston and work the road from M.u ins jllill to the branch near his dace, then to help the overseer on he Pauly Swamp end of the sun e oad. When 11 uf road from Martins I ill to t he branch was finished, t he hain an(l the road hands were nit to work cutting the ditch about rliich Mr. Watts has had so much o say. I believe tr.at A1 ford was honest n his opinion that he could turn the vater the way he intende I. lie was nistaken, and wo are aU subject to nake mistakes A in in should not ie turned down f >r a simple mistake. I,. A I 1 ic.- .(Ill i -m. 4UIVI v. I O null 111 I I \J I II X HIT and I think lie is doiii# his du y as he sees it. Mr. A1 ford said nothing to mo bout ^uardin^ the chain ganj^, I pplied to him first. I did remove Mr. McCorinick as oad overseer, because lie was retorted as not doin^ his duty. I did i<)t appoint Mr. Howell overseer to o the work referred to by Mr. Vatts, for I had no idea that the iork would be done. As to the eonition of,thc road, it is in better eonit ion today than many of the tree's in the town of Conway. I nay have made a mistake in selec ion of my foreman as Mr. Watts alls them, but, under the ciiMim lances, it was the best that I could o. ifl could see as far ahead as Forecast", I mitfht make more of first class Supci visor.
