Regular boarders will find my table and beds irst class. Transient trade solicited. Sept. 18 2t. Last weeks Issue of the Cherokee News contained a communication from Mr. W. J. Moorehead, of Blacks burg. in which he took occasion to assail the county administration and Supervisor Lipscomb especially. Mr. Moorehead’s card follows: I hope you will allow me space in your paper to say a few words that won’t amount to a hill of beans. Mr. John E. Jefferies said in his speech here on the campaign that Cherokee township paid more taxes than any other part of the county, which, he said, was not right, and in fact called the late Col. Camp’s attention to it. It does seem to me that this part of the county deserves some recognition. We only had one candidate from this side of the river, who had a part of a term in the legis lature, and who did more so far as I know than all the members that have been there since I have been in the county, nearly four years.' Mr. Hall was brought out for the purpose of defeating Mr. Hardin. One man north of your city says that he heard three men say that Mr. Hall must run for the legislature In order to defeat Mr. Hardin. Lots of work is done in this coun ty to benefit Gaffney. For instance, look at the bridge above Gaston Shoals, nearly in North Carolina; look at the free ferry at Ninety-Nine Islands and the road work in the direction of Gaffney. A petition was carried to Gaffney endorsed by York county’s officials to pay half the ex penses in building a bridge at Howell’s ferry. Our supervisor would not listen to anything like that. Why? Because it would not help Gaffney. In my judgment a bridge at that place would be of more bene fit to the public than any place I know of. I don’t think any official ought to know any part of the coun ty when it comes to justice and fair ness. Some people can see only as far as their interest goes and no fur ther. Some people are so narrow, as Sam Jones said once to an editor of some paper who criticized his ser mon, that a fly could light between their eyes and scratch one eye and kick the other one out, they are so narrow. I hope we can have a law ao that a township can use its own road money and not a dollar more. Now a word about Mr. Hall. I like Mr. Hall and know he has the ability to make a good legislator, and believe he will. In future when this side is called on to send delegates to the county convention we may as well write the chairman something like this: “We are at your mercy, give us what you want us to have, our hands are tied, We can do nothing, so help us please. Deal with us gently; we are humble servants of thine; you can give us a crum or crust. Not our will but* thine; we submit, take our road money, use it to build good roads to Gaffney.” When seen by a Ledger reporter and asked what he had to say In re ply to the above, Mr. Lipscomb said: “It is claimed that the people of Cherokee township returned their property at a higher valuation than those of other townships. If that be true they have been paying more tax es in proportion than the people of the other sections of the county, but submit that this is a matter which | can and should be amicably adjusted in the auditor’s office, and with which have nothing to do. “All I have to say in regard to the defeat of Mr. Hardin is this: Had the people of Cherokee township, Mr. Hardin’s home, voted for him as strong In proportion as the people of some of the townships this side of the river he would have bet n elected. A man must first be able to carry the community In which he lives by a pood sized majority before he can expect others to vote for him, but In this case it seems that the people this side of the river had more con fidence In Mr. Hardin than the peo ple of Cherokee township. There fore, his defer.t cannot be laid to the voters this side of the river. “The most important matter, how ever, is Mr. Moorehead’s acquisition against me as supervisor in favoring this side of the river in road work. have worked all over Cherokee township and since I have been in offlee I have done more wont around Blacksburg in proportion to the roads than I have around Gaffney. Where a bridge is built In this coun ty it is located where it will serve the largest number of people In the judgment of the county board of commissioners. Mr. Moorehead is In error when he says the new iron bridge is above Gaston Shoals. It is at the old Stacy ferry, a mile and a quarter below Gaston Shoals. As to the petition for a bridge across Broad river at Howell’s ferry I will say that I favor the construction of a bridge at this place and just as soon as the legislature meets and author izes the board of county commission ers to levy a special half mill tax to defray the expenses of the erection of such a bridge I shall urge tne county commissioners to accept the proposition of the York county commissioners. We cannot carry on work without authority of law and no one is to be blamed for this delay be< ause the question was only sprung since the meeting of the last legislature and cannot be attend ed to before the legislature meets again.” A Few Reasons Why You Should Take Stock In Peoples BiMing Association.

The general absence of rain was favorable, the soil being amply sup plied with moisture.

More and more the university au thorities are striving to link the in situation to the common schools of the State. Several members of the present faculty have for years been closely identified with the common schools—teaching in the State and county schools for teachers, address ing teacher bodies and the public on school matters. Realizing that the high school situation in the State was far from satisfactory, the board of trustees a little more than two years ago established in the Univer sity a chair of secondary education, and called to it a man who had taught for nearly twenty years in the common schools, most of that time in South Carolina. Prof. Hand began by giving half of his time to teaching in the institution, and the other half to field work over the State. Within less than a year the demand for bis time 1 1 s that from that time since he has given almost his entire time to, this high school work over the State. In the meantime the legislature has ap propriated $50,000 annually to aid the high schools, and the State board of education made Prof. Hand its State inspector further linking the institution to the schools. There are now in round numbers one hundred State aided high schools, town and rural. These schools are getting the benefit of his services In building courses of study, classifying their work, and urging on-the improvement of these schools. For the first time in the history of the State an the colleges and the public at large have access to detailed tabulated informa tion as to the actual work done la all the high schools ot the State. The volume of correspondence and the number of buUetins of informa tion which pass through this office are heavy, and are growing almost daily. This department of the Uni versity is devoted to the educational interest of the State rather than to the individual interest of this Insti tution.
