Maceo of Cuba, but whether he was decoyed and murdered by the Spanish is another ques tion. If it be true that Maceo was assassinated as reported, his death will bring thousands of active spmpathizeos to the Cuban cause who otherwise might have remained passive. Already a strong league has been organized in New York, composed of some of the ablest and richest men in the country. Urer February 28, while self) “was advised by the Super- for ofle or two others who had visor to collect enough from de- not paid their tax, I handed linqueut taxpayers in his town- one dollar for each to the r^cid overseer as late as J uly or Au , gust, and he accepted it. You yourself acknowledge that you “may have said that should there be more collected ill that way tnan was needed, it might be applied, etc”. Please then correct your assertion that the option enjoyed by the taxpay er last year was an “erroneous Impression”—that won’t do. When the law was ameded last, tell us please who the “‘good many persons” were who were 'made “liable to road duty that were exempt from said duty prior to the amendment?” In other words who is liable to road duty since Jan., 1st,»189G, who were not liable prior to that date? What right has the County Board of Commission ers with “thoughts” of what would and what would not be “acts of justice,” except in so far as the law gives them au thority?’ The Courts are ap-' pointed to look out for justice, and the Board of Commission ers to carry out certain laws re gardless of their opinion as to the justice of those laws.

Editor News ; Dear Sir:—As the Supervisor, Mr. W.8. King, has undertaken to reply to my article in the is sue of your paper of the 26th. ult., allow me space in your next issue to repeat the quo* tions which I asked, none of which Mr. King or “his official notice “either has answered; n6r has Mr. King explained why "work was begun at once and pushed in all the townships with the exception of Mechanics- ville” etc. Answer the ques tions please, Mr. King, and ex plain afterwards. Was there not an option last year (1896) as to where, when and to whom the road taxpayer should pay his fax ? Did not you, of anyone in au thority sanction 4h* Collection tax per ca reer from the early this present of a one-dollaj pit&bythe ro delinquents d and middle parti year? If there was a law against roadmasters collecting the tax why did you permit them to do so then? and if there is no law against it why do you het allow them to do so now? Which does the Legislature authorize you to do? -. Did not the Chairman of our township board and our road- master repeatedly apply to you for funds to work our loads, and you refused their requests? Did you not forbid the issuing of road master’s certificates for work here, stating that you would not accept or recognize suck orders or certificates given to road-hands? Is it not a fact that Mechanicsville has paid more cash for road tax than any township in the County? And is it not a fact that you have never spent one cent of the money col leelwi from any source (up to the 26th, Nov., 1896) on the roads in this township? Where did you spend the money paid by Mechanicsville? Did you not spend it in the western por tion of the county, notwith standing urgent appeals for work to be done on the roads in this section? Has a dollar in your hands ever been spent on either the Cashua Ferry, Geirgetown or Charleston, (Florence) roads within the lim its of this township? Is it, or is it not, so, that in certain parts of the western portion of the county clay has been hauled at great expense to top sandy roads and make them to the taste and comfort of residents of certain townships, while roads in Mechanicsville were left with bridges, etc. in such shocking condition that they stood as menaces to limb and life of the traveling public? Yeur article in The News of the 3rd Inst, Mr. Supervisor, does not reply to my article of inquiry in The News of Nov, 26th, aor does your official no tice answer my questions to even the closest reader. It is no “erroneous impres sion” when I say that “last year there was an option with the taxpayer relative to how and where he shotild pay his i ox.” Facts make very indeli ble impreafioDS and foi; a fact I paid my road tax to the Treas- taxpayer the opportunity to pay his money where it will be ex pended for his own benefit? I don’t know what the option of the supervisor is now—it may be an option “only in a sense,” but heretofore he has most de- cidely had the option, in the fullest sense of the term, of how and where to spend road tax funds “with the approval of the Board of County Commis sions.” Armed with this ap proval did the Supervisor ex E end our last tax money “where e thought it was most needed’ and would do the most good” when he spent it in the west in clay tapping sandy roads, while he left the .oads in the east in a dangerous condition for the traveling public? What did it amount to if the Board of County Commissioners did is sue such instructions as you say they did last April, when later on they voted (a majority o: them) to expend all the money at their command in certain townships and not one cent in theirs It would be interest ing to know in what section of the county that majority of the board resided and whether or not the Supervisor as chairman, voted with that majority. Re lative to your advice to Me chanicsVille’s overseer, I have nothing more to say as he pub lishes below his own statement of the case. I dislike exceding- ly to be drawn intoacontroversy and would have been glad to have resigned the task, not only of my last; but of this Vlengthy communication to th< News,, to some one else had it even appeared even probable that some one else would call attention to the injustice done to the people of this township in a way which would have in sured us against future neglect. There is something decidedly in error in the road law as it now stands. I have no doubt that the intention of the law was, and is, that all moneys collect ed in a township for road tax should be expended in that township. As the law stands there is not even a check (If I am correctly informed) upon this tax fund. It certainly does not pass through the Au ditor’s office and something in the method is exceedingly carelessly done when our road overseer this year was given a list of innum erable names, (50 or more, ! think), by the Supervisor as liable to road work, who when warned showed him commute tion tax receipts duly signed at the Treasurer’s office. How is it that the Treasurer’s list did not check off with the list of the local board and strike off such names of parties for the latter, as it should have done, who had paid their commutation tax? It will meet with the ap proval, I believe, of every think- ing person not only ofthiscoun- ty but of the entire state, if our Legislators will give this road law their earnest attention at the next meeting of their Aug ust body and have it amended so that each township shall re ceive, and receive alone, the benefit of the taxes it pays for the purpose of keeping up its roads. As it is now, it seems simply and purely a grab game, for should a majority of one in a meeting of the Board of Coun ty Commissioners chose to do so they could spend annually every dollar of this fund in their individual townships and never one cent in those of minority—and who could them nay? Very truly yours, A. H. Hayden, Riverdale, S. C., Dec. 14, ’9C. Editor News:—In Dr. Hay den’s article of Nov. 26th in ybur paper there appeared the following paragraph: “Early in his work our road master” (a (my. ship to pay his salary nor has our road-master received one cent of pay till yet” (meaning trom the Supervisor). I author-* izcd Di haydtn to make that statement as the Supervisor stated to me as above, or words to that effect. W. D. Fountain, Riverdale, S. C., Dec. 14, ’96. The Great War Correspondent Dead. Felix G. de Fontaine, the great war correspondent of the Charleston Courier, died at his home in Columbia on the after noon of the 11 of pneumonia. Mr. de Fontaine’s death will be a great loss to South Caro lina, specially since he has just begun the publication of the “Army Letters of Personne”. written by him during the war as correspondent of the Charles ton Courier. The first number of the series had been issued and the publication had already gained a large circulation throughout the State. The following sketch of the distinguished journalist was published in one of the papers of this State in 1888 and tells to sbtap extent about his career and genealogy: “Mr. F. G. de Fontaine, better known as ‘Personne,’ whose vivid illustration of the poetry and humor of Confederate camp life from 1861 to 1865, have at tracted so much attention, evi dently comes from a brainy stock. Two of his uncles, Felix and Gregory, after whom he was named, were celebrated Italian professors, one being a member of the court of Austria, the other a member of the court of Napoleon, and the early ency clopaedias devote not a little space to the record of their liter ary and scientific achievements. His father, the Chevalier de Fontaine, was a classmate of Cardinal Antonelli, the pontifi- cial secretary of Pope Pius IX, and subsequently became a member of the court of Charles the X, when the latter was com pelled to flee from Paris by the revolution of 1830, the chevalier accompanied the French king in his exile to Edinburgh, Scot land, and after living with him a number of months in Holy rood palace, he came to the United States. He married here in 1832 and in 1834 the subject of this sketch was born. He spoke several languages, was the author of works and other wise distinguished for literary attainments. His son, F. G. de Fontaine, during the late war, became widely known as a war correspondent, and his descrip tions of army life, campaigns and battles have been largely used in both northern and south ern’ histories of the conflict. Losing one of the largest new spaper offices in the south by the burning of Columbia, when Sherman occupied that city, he went north after the war and was appointed by James Gordon Betfoett the managing editor of his-Evening Telegram. After three years service in this, posi tion, he was made the financial editor of the New York Herald. Seven years later he was trans ferred to the chair of the dram atic and musical editor, where he remained, for a long period and until ill h«alth compelled his abandonment of daily jour nalism. “During this active journal istic career, Mr. de Fontaine has found time to publish, besides his voluminous correspondence, ‘A/ History, of Abolition from US?/to 1B61/. ‘Marginalia, dr Gleanings from an Aimy Note book j* ‘A Hiatorji of Yachting in the Old World and the New.’ ‘The Burning , of Columbia,’ ‘The Story of the Great East era,’ ‘A Cyclopaedia of the Beet Thoughts of Charles Dickens,’ (COO pages and now in its ninth edition); ‘Bifda of a Feather, or the Life and Doings of Lord Dundreary;’ ‘A Popular History of America,’ and a system of ‘condensed long-hand,’ whereby with but little study, one is en abled to greatly increase the ra pidity of his hand writing. As a short-hand writer, Mr. de Fontaine is said to be one of the oldest and fastest in the United States, two of his important works as a mere lad, being the official reports of the trial of the trial of Professor Webster for the murder of Dr. Parkman in Boston many years ago, and of Gen. Dan Sickles for killing Barton Key in Washington be fore the war. “Mr. de Fontaine is the own er of a valuable collection of Confederate documents and his historical and pictorial matter would fill many volumes. The two original Constitutions of the Confederacy were saved by him in the break up and one of them was presented by the late W. W. Corcoran, the Washing ton banker, to the State of Vir ginia. A limited edition of it in fac simile will shortly be re produced in New York. He has also an immensely valuable book in the shape of all of the official opinions of the attorney generals of the Confederacy from 1861—the only copy in ex istence. The old war correspondent is ’by no means worn out. His wiry frame and industrious ha bit enable him to accomplish more than many a man at half his age.

Last Friday night at 10 o’clock the soul of Mr. Benja min Keitt DeLorme took its flight from earth and time and passed into limitless beyond. He had been confined to his bed for four weeks with a very violent and molignant type of typhoid fever 1 Had he lived until the 22nd of this month he would have been 35 years of age; strong, healthy and robust, he promised to live a long time, but death called him. He was raised at Dove’s, in Darlington county, but several years ago he went to Sumter as a telegraph operator, and was fiom time to time promoted by the railroad officials. For a number of vears he was depot agent at Sumter for the C. 8. & N. road, and after the Atlan tic Coast Line bought the C. S. & N. road he was sent to Bennettsville, and was depot agent here when he died. He was a fine business man, and was highly esteemed by everybody. He married a daughter of Dr. China in Sumter, and leaves her.-a widow, with five children —three girls and two boys. He had his life insured for 116,000. He was a member of Gamei Cock Lodge, Knights of thiss; was also a Mason e Pythians of the two lodges in town rendered him all possi ble assistance, and when he died ffie following Knights ac companied the body to Sumter: Messrs. R. T. Barfield, C. S. Chaffin, J. A. Drake, H. F. Covington, R. B. Crosland and «J P. Gibson. Rev. J. L. Stokes, also accompanied the corpse. The body was met at the train in Sumter by the under taker and conveyed to the home of Dr. China, where it remain ed until 3.30 p. m., when it was taken by the Masons and con veyed to the Methodist church where the funeral services were conducted by Revs J. L. Stokes and J. W. Daniel, after which the long procession went to the cemetery, where his body was laid to rest. Mr. DeLorme was very de voted to his family, and his death was sad, indeed. His father and mother, brothers and sisters arrived before he died, and all were recognized by him. The delegation that went down with the corpse was en tertained at the Jervey house.

Perry committed suicide here to day by drowning him self in Bear Creek. He was the clerk of the Court, but his fin ances are in good shape. He has been suffering from nervous prostration and a lack of sleep for two months or more. His family relations were most pleasant. He leaves a wife, but no children. Parties have been in search of his body, but have not yet recovered it. The creek is pretty full, but will be down to-morrow. ; He has made good clerk and he was one ol: the most popular men in the county. Every one knew Bil Perry 1 and loved him. The county, as well as his immediate family deeply deplore his death No cause can.be assigned for the unfortunate deed except great nervous prostration and a long want of sleep. Mr. Perry was about 4Q years of age.
