KEITT ON TIHE SITUA TION. The Journal has observed very carefully the courso of Joseph L. Keitt, as )istrict Lecturer of the Alliance, and has had the pleas uro of publishig his speeches be foro th alhanco meetings inl Pick ons, for the benefit of those who had not th.e privilego of hoaring them. Possibly no man in the Stato has done ioro faith ful and Iruitful work in his district for tho cause of gon1uile r'oformu and relief for the masses tian Mr. Keitt. Ito has worked in season and out of season, and his dili gonce has not been in a monsure without reward. 11it the deep Study of the subject and tho zeal, thoroby created, has in tho judg ment of the JoUx., mado Mr. Keitt impjtielt and h advises the peoplo to a course or action, bo foro it is nocessary to resort to such a, Izardois undertaking. His vicws %Nero published im the last iSSUO of the JOURNAL, and his position while holest and intend od for ihe best interost of the massos. cannia1t stand the best. of deliborate and direct reasoning. There seems to be four different and distinct opinions as to the poit of time, vhen the Demo cratic ship should be al)ndoned.

EDITon: I notico.your cor rospondeut from Crosswoll wants to know what right tho Supervisor had trying to make a law without Jinowing first what the legislature was going te do. As for knowing what the le,gislature was going to do,I have no foroknowlodgo of oth er mon's business, neithor do I un dertake to attond to them. The Suporvi:,or has made no law, nor has he broken any. As for the Easloy bridge, thoro line boon no timo lost by any act of mine. We first advortised for an iron bridge, and tho lowest bid for the bridge proper, 100 foot long, was $3,100, and with cylin dar piors, $4,300. Very likely if the correspondent :had beon in chargo of the businoss of the county, we would have had by July an iron bridge on cylindar piors at $4,300, but I rojected the bid. And knowing tho Cox bri(lge would bo to build soon, I, with tho Suvorvisor of Greenvillo coun ty and others, docidod to see if ono bridge wouldn't answer both purposes. As I have before said, we have too many bridges on Sa luda. Win. Ponder lives at tho upper lino of Easloy township and it is eight miles to the lower, and Farr's bridge near the centor, and two below, throo bridgos in near four imile, and to havo mado the chango would have given your cor respondent a nearer and better road than ho has ever traveled to G roon villo, or probably over will nnde at any othor place, and it would not increase the travel of any other road half a imile, ud would not injure but two citizons, and they have said very littl against it. But the Greenville commlis~sion ers favored the keeping up of t wo bridges and building (ne iron. so Mr. H1olland, Supervisor, wrot'' me, but said we could advertise for the masonrv any day I would set. So I then advertised for Ima Cr011y nid a covered bridge. :md wrot 3lr lloland t .) thei samelt thing. stating to hin t Ihat if w\. did not buzild it wouhi cost bt lit tl, and if we did 1bi!d wYC would b thi far en the way.1 never ativ 'rt .
