CALHOUN COUNTY GREATLY
' STIRRED UP.
RED HOT CONTROVERSY OVER BONDING
COUNTY TO PUT UP PUBLIC
"''H DINGS.

"V A1' 7 a3 he rea^ ?

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!
