A. Prince, the purpose of which is to place me in the attitude of a demented invalid, absent-minded, and having no respect or regard for truth; and th/it I am unworthy of a seat in the South Carolina Senate.. All of this, I presume, is intended to suggest that if Horry County's future interest is to be Mr Prince should be promoted to this position. Mr. Prince starts out by asking space for "us," meaning he and Mr. Carter, but vigorously attempts to ^convince your readers that he does not live in Simpson Creek township. However, he cannot dodge the fact that; at the time of his election he claimed to be a citizen of Simpson Creek, and his address is now Loris. Then he launches out on an extended review of the bond issue, which was voted down by the people at the last election. This matter was fully covered in my former article of the 15th of March. The Herald likewise showed by the records from the County Commissioner's office that Mr. Prince was wrong in practically every state-. ment he made. Now. this would-be statesman says that he is willing to: cf n M/^ ? ? ~ A omiiu wy me rccoruR ar. me court house, so I shall not take any further time or space in discussing this past issue. He further says that I nromised to hold up his recent bond bill until the free conference hill wns .vett'cd.

I realize that I have net. the retentive memory of a "Billy* Sunday, but I still have some self-respect and some appreciation of the honor conferred upon me by the voters of Horry County, repeatedly sending me to the House and Senate *'or ;he past 20 years. I would indeed be a reprobate of the lowest type should I surrender the principles that have j-'ways controlled me, simply at the behest of Messri. Prince and Carter, who would have you believe that they are powerful factors in shaping legislation in Columbia. If they construed my language to mean this, I wish to say I assume no responsibility for their ignor.mce. On the other hard, if they llIIVO Oilforrifl intn ? *- - * .....v vKvb>vu iiiw tuiifpuiity 10 try j to make a black lie look like Gospel truth, then T am not responsible for this dastardly act. I further notice that they both deny responsibility for the resolutions which sought to increase their pay, or compensate them for over-time. As a matter of fact, there were TWO RESOLUTIONS offered in the House, each seeking additional pay. They were overwhelmingly defeated. Then another resolution was offered proposing to grant additional pay of $2 per day. The press so stated at the time, and I presume the records of the House will show that this resolution was headed by Mr. Carter, and also signed by Mr. Prince. Failing in this attempt to filch the treasury of the State, yet another resolution was presented by the same parties which sought additional com pensation of $2.50 per day. The face of these resolutions bore such strong v Tiuvitw ui aiicill picu gran" mat the manhood of the House rose up and buried them so deep that further resurrection was not attempted. Yet, these jrentlemen deny having signed the resolutions, and attempt, to shake any responsibility. Still, they contend that they ought to have re* ceived this extra pay.

I tu:~ ?-i!? - mi.-, iicuon was a rei lection on them, their way was open. Under the rules a "question of personal privilege" could have been raised and the documents denounced as forgeries and slander. We seem_ to find no such recoixl as this taken by these extremely honest and honorable gentlemen. Prince says that while he and friend Carter were laboring to relieve the poor taxpayer of the burden of $15.000 the Senator from Horry was home. Now, Mr. Prince is not altogether as big a fool as his contentions seem to indicate. He knows that when I came home all matters of legislation had been disposed of, except the tax bills and appropriation bill. On both these measures I was "paired" with Senator Williams, of Aiken, and my vote was counted the same as if T had been present. Mr. Prince makes the assertion that 1 did not want his bond bill submitted to the people, which on its face is an outrageous falsehood. If he wanted this measure submitted to a vote why did he not incorporate it in the bill, and I would have gladly indorsed it. Local self-government and t.biding by the will of the people is a well-known hobby of mine. He further states that last year I advocated in our road bill nine days or three dollars. This statement is as black as anything he has been telling. In 1921 it was $12 or six days. I had it changed to $9 or 6 days. Last year we made it $6 or 6 days. The last session I passed a bill in the Sen late and sent to the House making it $3 or 6 days. Mr. Prince in his superior (?) wisdom saw fit to kill this measure. Evidently he presumes that the road hands are a set of stupendous fools. He alleges that I wish to see the road hands work six days at 50 cents per day. As a matter of pr>rt he knows that no road worker gets one cent for his labor. The law requires'that he shall work the, road **ix days, and my proposition is to allow him to be relieved of this labor bv paying the small sum of $3. or 50 cents per day. Mr. Prince's contention is that he must be forced to pay the six dollars in case, for good ren sons, he does not work the required time. I submit to the road worker the Justice of my position, and defy Mr. Prince to deny its correctness. This matter of days and dollars. T will admit has been a contention for ' years. But I submit that in this age of progress, machinery takes the place nf human muscle, and must be utilized in rend building as in other industrial enterprises. It cannot be operated without money, and the less you make the computation tax, the more are likelv to pay and the greater the amount collected. By the way, I wonder if it has ever occurred to your readers, and the voters of this county, why it was that the House, during' the session of 1922, cut the appropriation bill in such a manner as to seriously jeopardize the AAl O fVllO ?? O ? 1 " " iivuvui o ui vino i/UUilt V y AO WCII cW IIIiAII^' others? It doubtless has puzzled a great many school teachers, trustees and patrons why, if Mr. Prince was such a power in wielding legislation as he would have you believe, why it is that many of the teachers of today are short a month's salary since 1922? But I will not ask for any more space in this issue to discuss these measures, or to expose our records. But I will say to Messrs. Prince find Carter that I have never deserted the field of battle while under fire, except by order of a superior officer. Refusing to recognize their superiority, I shall not surrender or desert under their political fire, although it is humiliating to have to expose the political jugglery which is being practiced at present.
