It (The CO? | AliOU r HORRY'S FINANCES. The Will of the People Overpowered by House of Representatives Mr. Editor: Most of your readers know that I fought the new court house and jail, the bridge across the river and the dispensary until the county got free of bonds and in better circumstances, but the House of ltepreseuiatives ran the bill over us unjustly. If they had given Horry the chance to vote on it they would not have gotten it, but that is what they knew. But 1 want to know what are go-, iug ?o be done with the old buildings as nothing was said about them in the new bill. Will the old buildings be sold, or the material used in help building the new ones? How is that other counties can build new court houses for about twelve or fifteen thousand dollars and ours must cost nearly forty thousand dollars? Can those townships which are already under railroad bonds go under more larger onos? I do believe that the prisoner that was carried from Conway jail to Marion iail was done to hc>ln to trot thn Kill passed. I think our county is in bad shape financially and it is going to be worse for 1 think there is some loose screws somewhere and it is lime to hunt them up. What has been done with the shortage matter of Ij. I). Long while Courty Treasurer, and many others? 1 think the county would do well to look at' ter such matters as these and put men in office who have the fear of God before their eves ar.d Vho will help the farmer and the poor man who have no education but who are honest and are doing the best tnoy know how to (Id. We want the man who will rally for new ruilroads. new factories, new enterprises of every kind that will help the county and not something for mere glory or something that will be a dead expense, as is the chaingang which is more expense than it ;s profit. 1 think it would be well to do away with the Supervisor and the chaingang and if any one commits a crime send tin m to the penitentiary. it has ^ot so that the chaingang is a better home for some people than they had before the> went there. I think it will be for the Representatives to look after this matter.. We appreciate the Act that has been taken up concerning the game law. The birds is one of the best friends a farmer has, Now in the above I have only outlined my views concerning matters of nublic interest. 1 do not. inenn to cast insinations upon any one and hope no one will take otVense at what I have written. But after the new court house and jail is built if there can be an\ of the forty thousand dollars scraped together to start those bridges across the river, then how will they be finished? I will close for this time, but one more word, farmer friends, you may look for the stock law at the next sitting of the Legislature. Candidate. Marion Notes. Well, the health of the community ia very good at present, there being only a few cases of smallpox. The people are very anxious for the ground to get dry so they can plow again. There was a very sad death here last Friday about 2 o'clock. Mr. Samuel McClellon, one of Marion's useful citizens, fell dead from his buggy near Mr. W. It. Kodgers' mail box. It was very shocking to his friends. The people are going to plant large quanty of tobacco over here this year. Mrs. Nattie Dudley of this place is very ill at this writing. J. 15.

Health is generally good in this community excepting a few who are complaining of Uieirarm which they say is very painful caused from vaccination. Hrother Walter Todd failed to (ill his appointment at IMeasunt Meadow last Saturday and Sunday. We were expecting tohear Hrother Todd preach but for some reason he was kept away for which we have not yet learned. We arc still having a very good Sunday school at this place. The Bible says train up a child in the way it should go and when it gets old it wont depart from it. So I think there is no better place to train a child than in a good Sunday school.
