Editor Conntv Keoord:? Please allow nie to reply to the letter signed by Mr P A Alsbrook. That letter rhvines like poetry but" 1)88 i.o sound argument in it. He says the people of Kingslree have as much ri?rht to exprts* theiropinior. in this matter as any of the other citizens ol this county yet they have not vet opened their mouths on the subject. lie doesn't seer* to know what is being done and said in his own town; and, of coin s *, has no knowledge of that petition that was gotten - 1 up oy me ueo^iic! ??i jvuipucc when Mr Chandler was in office. He sa.vs he doesn't think any one in town has made anv arrangements to get a lot to rent to country people for hitching purposes. Only thinks this, but doesn't know it. He says the peop'e of Kiugstree wouid not sloop Iq snch a thing as 1, and as some others, seem to . think they would do. This is more than he knows. There are as good people in Ivingstree as any other town, and there are people there that will do anything that is not prohibited bv the laws of the land. He did not say that he thought the people of Ivingstree would not stoop to such thing, but says he knows it. This is also more thai) h.j knows, and he must remember that he doesn't know all as he did wot know tha the peo pie ofKingstree had gotten up a petition right there at hi n for the purpose of keeping h >rses out of the court house square. He says they have not opened their mouths on t'n s ihpjt, so they must have been doing all this with theii mouths shut. He savs the people ? ? .1 ro ulurill'c irl:?it In 11* ire <119 CI I ?* n* o ?w welcome their friend* and I real I hem as I hey should be treated. This is true, but they have not been intruded on yet bv people being compelled to hitch horses in their lots, and have them pullin?5?down their lences and eating the baik off their trees. When this starts the country people will not t>e treated so well. Mr Alsl l_ ?- "?- "'om.il r\ f t K u OTOOK HHIIirM IMCI SCVCKII Ul 1IIV7 merchants ami people generally that have lots that could be used for hitching purposes, and goes so far as to say positively thai they would not charge for the use of these lots. It's not reasonable to suppose that anyone would fix up racks on their lots with no other motive in view than to accommodate the public. Just suppose these lots were fixed up for hitching placs, such an arrangement would not last long, as the owners would be liable to die, or qait^ business, or move away, and then tiie property would change hands, which would mean the end of the hitching in these lots, and the title ot the court house square will remain the same. I don't think anvone is losing any sleep on the subject. I h:>d not thought ot such a thing, but suppose that Mr Alsbrook is the one thai is losing much sleep on the subject, and would suggest that he take a night's rest, so that he may get a betier understanding and he will then learn that the people of Ktngstr-^e have ha I their mouths open on the subject, and that they will not agree to keep lots tixe<l jp lor nirciuns: purposes without compensation of some kind, especially for the country people they don't know. Mr Alsbrook says uDon't let a few people lead you astray in baiieving that the people of King-dree make money their God, and that thev want to take your Kard.earpings for nothing: Here I will say - as ^Jiave.said heretofore (bat there-, are people tbe/e'lljat will Thing fofr moqey, apd I ba*e /kvwyiLsiivi them to do >-ok? 1 *; } &'/ A f. * K t ^ t * ** < itft BrAW^: ' ? 1 '' ^ ... . -*s ; - V . * KV *.?* ?!??V?A*|V> yjffc'U- T . W- . *V\very low things, and some of these same men are the ones that are pushing this matter. Mr Alsbrook said the idea of horses catching diseases at livery stables. Everybody that has any judgment knows that at a liverv stable where horses are being constanty brought in, every lot is liable lo have a few among them that have distemper, and it is not impossible for them to have glanders, as this is the case sometimes. lie spoke of keeping stock out in weather unprotected. Why he must think that when we go to King<jree we stay there a week or so with our horses tied out in the night air and rain, when we on'v stay a few hours and often we only stay a few minutes. We don't propose lo have everv thing done that the grand jury recommends. Perl a >s they could get no rest until they did something of this kind, as there are some men with shrewd tongues who are interested in this matter, and (hey know how to plead to a jury, and I suppose only one side I of the case was represented to the jury, which was enough tocau<e them to make an error. As to the county supervisor and county commissioners carrying this recommendation out. I don't think they will do it if they care to serve another term. Oi course Hamilton had many friends, and a monument to him 7 would be a very popular thing; but 1 cannot see why some other place would lint do as we11 as he hi ml the roil ft house, remaps the monument on tite court house square would help to kill out the opposition to the court house fence, and as soon as the fence is built, the question of building the monument would die out; and I think if Mr Alsbrook is really in earnest abou' the building of a monument to Gen Hampton, he would propose a more suitable place for its erection. Will conclude by saying to the country people to look out for Mr) Alsbrook's vefv popular luiie, as it may deceive you. a id I flunk it a fiood plan to put this question belore the candidates lor'county commissioners and lor supervisor i ^' at the next election. Respectlully yours. S B Gordon. SAVES 1 WO FItOM DEATH. "Our little daughter had an almost fatal attack of whooping cough and bronchitis," writes Mrs W K Iiaviland, of Aruiouk, X.
