CALHOUN COUNTY GREATLY ' STIRRED UP. RED HOT CONTROVERSY OVER BONDING COUNTY TO PUT UP PUBLIC "''H DINGS. _ a:mucks are fall. > Ihoun," remarked "V A1' 7 a3 he rea^ ? OJL. AA matter mtheCal oe in reference to the court house and jail matter. 4,It looks very much to me," the gentleman continued, "that a good many 1- ? l I - AO _ U~l . 1^. people were uiuniug a ?uuic wi when they were loudly proclaiming before the election that St Matthews would put up $20,000 in cold cash to build a court house and jail. The # money hasn't been forthcoming, aud it doesn't look like it will ever come to the front. "Take my word for it,'' he de^ elarcrl as hp start.'.! iinnie for dinner. ^ "anotherelection will beheld soon to reunite Calhoun with Orangeburg, and the vote will be 3 to 1 to come back with us And there may be a whole lot of reality in this gentleman's predic lion. For several weeks the Calhoun Advance has fairly teemed wiih articles concerning the building of a court house and jail, and much bitter feeling has berii engendered. The high priests of the new county udi vocates have been ut each other's throats through the columns of the St Matthews paper, and a bitter controversy is now on between Mr J Skottowe Wanoamaker and Mr Aaron K Smoak. Mr Wannanirtker wants the county bonded for thirty thousand dollars to ab added to a donation of the town ?*fTER DISPO ws ?* twent^ tf,;)USaM^ <? foi'RT * Sni0?k opuses the ays if the bond issue i Tbecoi,' the country people of the new county they would be justified in voting themselves back into Orangeburg and Lexington counties. Mr Smoak further charged that the people had been fooled before the election, and to this Mr Wannamamaker replies as follows: "Mr A K*Smoak was a member of the publishing or press committee for the formation of Calhoun county. He wrote some of the best articles that wp nuhlished duriuff that mem ? ... , orable fight. He had free access to the press. His pen was in demand. As a member of this committee he could object to the publication of articles that bethought improper because misleading or otherwise. Can he point out one single article that was published over his objection? His articles were so strong that our dear friends at the old court house would always take a stimulant before reading them. Why, oh, why in the name of all that is just and right did he not expose some of the iniquity then that he insinuates have been cloaked? Wheu his articles were published they carried tenor into the camps of the enemy aud a hypnotic effect into our camps, especially to our rural brethren, over whose condition he is now so distressed." Dr W T C Bates, one of Calhoun's high toned citizens, also gets into the controversy and says that Mr .Smoak "in his insane desire to arouse the prejudice of the cc*itry people against the town,to further some selfish purpose of his ?wu, lays down illogical and senseless doctrine, a doctrine that would be preached only by a reckless demagogue or by a man with no reason or discretion." Mr Martin I) Keller also conies forward and says that he had explained the proposed bond issue to Mr A K Smoak, and he certainly understood Mr Smoak to approve the whole scheme?the scheme which Mr Smoak is now denouncing. That valiant and outspoken citi zen, Mr Geo W Fairey, known the length and breadth of both Oraugeburg and Calhoun counties, gets his pen in and says that "Mr A K Smoak's article was composed of big words, high souudiug, but we country people could not get the meanh ing,and it reminded us of a boj shooting at the moon with a poj: gun, and it will have about as much effect. It will be interesting to know th< note signers who guaranteed by their notes the $20,000 whioh St Matthews promised before election to put up for the building of the court house and jail. It is now held that the town of St Matthews could not j be bouded for the purpose of build-, : ing a court house for the county,' i hence the siguers of these notes will! 6 -- . i , j have to pay up if the *20,000 is toj j he raised. i J The note siguers,with the amounts j , signed for, are as follows: ,| $3,000?T A Amaker. $1,500?W T C Hates. |. $l,o00each?J S Wannamaker, ji Shop Pcarlstinc, T H Dreher, K j < Wimberly, Arthur Hardware Co.
