HOLDS MEETING UNDER COUN- 1 CIL RECENTLY SWORN IN. i The Board Will Elect A Health Of- ( fleer Whose Duty it Will he to Carry Out the Recominen- ' dutious of the Board. c V. The town Board of Health held its first meeting under the new eouncij I last'Hriday?afternoon at '1 o'clock at > the office of the Chairman, Dr. J. A. Norton. Before* proceeding to ;s the transaction of business, it was ' decided to have the secretary communicate with the new council and | ascertain the legal status of the boardi The board at present is composed \ of Messrs. Jeremiah Smith, .1. C. | Spivey, S. T. Sessions, H II. Woodward Esq , and Dr. J. A. Norton. The law provides that one of the 11 members shall go out of office each 1 year and a new member appointed " by the town authorities to take his place. The Board has nothing on v record as to whoso term expires this I year and have had no notice of the h appointment and swearing in of the new member, hence the necessity of . information frouMhecouncil. After , this has been attended to and any vacancy in the board properly tilled, 11 the board will proceed to the elec- 1 tion of the health ollicer, something they have not had heretofore. They h want a live man for this position at v a fixed salary and ilia Board will t keep him busy vpry likely. I It is hoped that the council will J take steps at once t<? ascertain whose term expires with the present year and appoint the ne w member to take j, his place, so the work of the board j for the year can begin. j Citizen Smooths Matters Over. Mr. Editor:?I know that I am e imposing to ask for further space in s your valuable columns after vou n have asked for the controversy be- p tween "our writer" and myself to 0 end, and 1 think it best myself as he has took offence, which 1 did not .. mean to give. I have given no insuits, neither am T going to accept those lie has ottered me. I heartily agree with "our writer" 11 on one point, and that is: I always <>{ considered your columns as being for friendly correspondence, and I for one am not going to use them for any other purpose. " But 1 do not propose to let the u community be misrepresented to T the public concerning the dispensa- r< ry question or any other question e that is of such grave importance as b it is at the present, therefore I situ- b ply meant to correct the errors he had made. Now. "our writer" wishes me to prove to him that "I" is more prop- ' cr than "we." I will have him to know it wholly depends on the way it ^ is used, i* | He said ' wo" are not going to sv tackle the dispensary question. The a' ))tiblic would infer from that, that Willow Spring community was not q going to tackle the dispensary qiies- ,, lion which is a false report. Had he said "1" the public would have kr.own that L. L\ Roberts was not [ going to tackle the important ques- p tion. j: I hope this explanation will not ? have the effect that "our writer predicted. I have enjoyed realing some <?f his communications to the a Herald in the past and I hope to do p so again in the future. \v He accuses me of public abuse in n which the public kows that I am in- v\ nocei^i It is he who has used that p that Irnnself and also made the first a comparisons. ti It seems as if "our writer" is in t< doubt as to which sex he is conversing with as he uses the term "he or she." To dispel this doubt, as this ( will end our controversy according to request of tile Editor. I will give " my full name. J. Alton Eason. n Good Meeting. a "Editor Herald:?Please allow me ^ space in your valuable columns to note our meeting of days at Buck '' Creek, conducted by the Rev. G.

This scribe accepted a special in vitation to attend the temperance meeting at Greenwood liaptisl church last Sunday evening, at the request of the executive committee Speeches on the dispensary questior were to be made b.v the lie v. J. L Shinn and 13. VV. Wait, Ksqr. He bein<; sick, Mr. Wait did not come but sent Mr. 1*'. G. Hughes in hi: place. Greenwood is noted for lar^c ^ath erin^s and we suppose that then was probably two thousand men women and children present to grocl the speakers, and were undoubtedly in sympathy with the movement tc close the dispensary, as at the con elusion of his speech, Mr. Shinn wanting to know how the people stood, requested all th.isc who wen in sympathy with the movement tr close the dispensary to stand up and almost every one stood up. Mr. (J. Ij. Lawrimore, the Super intendent here, who has done s< much for this community in a feu well chosen words stated the objeci of the meeting and introduced Mr F. (1 Ilughos as the (irst speakei who made a favorable impression I clid*11 b know, said Mr. Hughes til a few days ago that I would be call ed on to make a speech, but I an here to make a special appeal to tlu fathers t<> save their sons from bein?. made drunkards and g >ing from bat to worse by taking advantage of tlu opportunity oll'ered, and act by blot ting out the greatest curse that \V< have in our land today?the dispen sary. The next speaker was the He v. .) L. Shinn, who began by saying thai ho was going to talk a little plait and that if the crowd did not endorse what he was about to say that he had no apologies tu m ike, as he hue come to-day to do his duty and talk about the dispensary The are some old deacons said Mr. Shinn, who wil drink whiskey and vote for the dis l\A?\nn ?if ?? d ? I l*i7ilD(l l J *11111 nicy 111*4* HOW on I In road to hell, lie wh > supports the dispensary is not wis", and he \vh( is not wise is a fool. Now this is plain talk, but people who don't like to hoar anything about missions, whiskey etc., hid better dig them ;i hoi? and get in it and till it up he hind them. Clime in South Caroli Una, said Idr. Shinn, has increased thirty per cent, and lie holds tin dispensary responsible for this in crease und defies any man to refute the charge successfully. Two hundred thousand new ma If graves and one hundred thousand orphan children are some of the fruits of the dispensary. Children arc not even safe whor-* whiskey is sold and his heart was fall of love for the rising generation. Here the speaker drew a line and said or, October the ttrd the lines would he drawn in 1 lorry county. On one I side said he, there is God, purity, honesty and all good people combined and on the other was Hell, the devils, liars and gamblers. Now said he, which side will you have on Tuesday October the 3rd. He then took a rising vote and looked to the reports that the crowd was unanimously opposed to tne dispensary. Mr. Shinn answered some of the arguments of our dispensary friends as to school fund and successfully proved t hat our great moral institution wasevena failure in that m..<r WT\ .... ,,ny, it mi wuiiui 11ki?, said mi\ Shinn for mo to borrow a dollar and when you conio for the money, to only give you ten cents. Mr. Shinn was at bis best and made a very good jfossion and evidently had the , ?.vd with him which he seemed to enjoy Forecast. Appreciates tlic Work. Editor Herald: ?Wishing to show our appreciation of the efforts and work of the col porter, 15 ro. It. M. Floyd who has been in our midst for a few days scattering good books and carrying his missionary work in most every home in our community. We would say that if there were more workers like liro. Floyd that would sow the State deep with such literature, it would make the work of education easier along all lines, religious as well as secular. liro Floyd also made us two very interesting speeches on Sunday School work. He was also with us in our weekly prayer meeting. If the State Hoard will put a few more such engeretie workers in the Hold, the returns will be of untold value in broader views, deeper religious feelings, and a more intense enthusiasm created. Hoping the good work may go on and wishing our brother God speed. We will close with best wishes to the Herald. W. 1. Cox. lluth, S. C. ;i)AY SEPTEMIJRK 2 PURELY PERSONAL ?J. M.

The Field last week after comnenting on the sizo and variety' of he criminal docket asked, what is he cause? The dispensary? Vote t out. This unwarranted thrust at the lispousary missed its mark, but truck the good name of Horry a oiling blow in which it was made to ppoar, to outsiders, that drunketiicss and crime are now the order of hings in I lorry. Not one individual on trial during he week was accused of being inlluneed by drink at the time the crime /as charged. Not one individual ucluding a thousand visitors did we eo on the street under the inllu nee of whiskey during the week, ui unprecedented record for court /eok, here or any where else.

Marion could afford to kill a goose hat laid #11000 a year, but Horry eeds a court house, better roads lid more school money.
