r... (At the request of the writer of the following article we allow him the privilege of supplying his own headlines.) IUU D. fir TALKS WITH JOBNSONVILLE. iflures and Facts That Lannot be : Gotten around oo a New Coonty Proposition with Rosemary as the County Seat. itor County Record:? re see through your columns that lsonvilie, Rome and Lambert . very much outspoken against ue formation of liutledge county, leheving that these friends have rawn conclusions rather hastily, nd that a more mature cousidera ^^ption would help to point out to them r errors not now apparent, we make || . bold to give them a heart-to-heart ^.talk, believing that in a '-multitude of council there is safety." Friends, to begin with, you want to know in what way and manner ? will the formatiou of Kutledge county benefit you?you as a people?you as a section of the county. We are frank to answer you, in some re> spects much, in others but little. In school improvement you could expect very little beyond what you have and what you obtaiu by your own local efforts. Iu roads improvement you have much to gaiu and nothing to lose. Upon this one point hinges your progress, your development and your finances, more than any other. A good road shorteus distances, saves wear and tear on vehicles, beast and man. No State, county or community is at its best until ber roads are fully developed. Williamsburg is roads poor?that is plain to every one. It is a case of forty acres to the mule, an obsolete and back date method of farming. Divide the farm and work two mules where only one worked belore. Moral, yote for Rutledge. The county seat is really a small matter, but in this you could expect no great amount of benefits only in letter roads and a few miles saved in distance, both sufficient to make you vote for Rutledge. We calculate that taxes would be K^eut the same as last year without increased expense of Williamsnrg this year which amounts to >,222.74. |Your farm property will advance value and jo a short while yoii will able to sell at much higher prices. H^Koaog men, how can yon afford to ^ Hpte against Rutledge? Bnl we hear you say, "We want a county seat down here. That is why we intend voting against RutB ledge. We need it moie than Lake B City." Friends, yon are right, you want it and you need it. Lake City B knows that only too well. We wish B that it were possible for you to have [H- it, but the conditions are such that you cannot get it. Gyerything says B ."impossible!"-not only impossible for you but if you defeat Rutledge |B|g|he whole territory will remain WilB liamsburg for this generation and perhaps several more. In fact, we ^Bbelieve Lake City will eventually be the county seat for Williamsburg ip Hi cas^f defeat of Rutledge, You "impossible, cra/.y man!" ^^Hten! ^ ^nVny voter who will take down a Hip of Williamsburg and follow ns fl^^Br a few moments and is not con^^^winced that this assertion is not only B possible but very probable should vote against Rutledge. We want the other fellow's vote, not yours. (sten! Rosemary, a thriving j town at the juncture of the t Company's R R with the getown & Western R R, has new dwellings going up today, ^yesterday a friend said, "Those Lies are making parks out of >onds." What does it mean?? hand of progress filled with hern capital placed upon a hern pond for development ress spells a new county and ty of money means "we will get |wewant." Now, then, Ruti is defeated, Johnsonville says ill wait ten years and then it 8 our try. But what does the ikee" behind Rosemary say: will try today!" u exclaim "impossible"?the rements cannot be met nnless take us in; we wonld obtain the court house. This point, Mr Voter, is decided by ballot, but they do nol need you. You would be a stumbling block. Your property is not a* valuable as that above Lanes emI bracing the Central R R. How could they obtain this new county? you ask. Follow us and you shall see. Begin at Mingo bridge, run the llutledge line up Mingo swamp and White Oak to the township line of Turkey and King. Run this township line at a distance of eight miles from court house to Black river, up the river to the angle, thence straight across to the north-west, passing Suiters one mile to the nofth to a point j ust north of where the Central road enters Williamsburg at the Clarendon line. Thence around the county boundary to San tee river, down San tee to a point opposite Sampit station; thence across Georgetown county to the "whirl*' on Black river, down Black river to where Mingo creek empties: up Miugo creek to the bridge. There you are! A county embracing about 620 square miles, 70 miles of railroad and a sufficient population to meet every requirement. The area, the property valuation and the inhabitants are met. This would leave old Williamsburg with about 508 square miles? (Tunison's map of S C) 30 miles of A C L railroad with Alderman's and Wilson's trams. The "over the river' political question would be solved in Williamsburg?Rosemary would be made the <vmnff7 coal- .Tnhnannville and Lake City would be doomed until the constitution of the State was chauged on requirements for a new county. Now, friends, this letter means to the voters of Johnsonville, Lambert and Indiantown just what the sign on a railroad crossing means when it says, Stop! look! listen! Will you do it? Now, friends, we have this proposition to make, Tal*e this whole question up with the "Sage of 'Possum Fork" and after He has made a thorough canvass of what we have said, and put it to a mathematical and logical test, it he says we are wrong, cast your ballot against Rutledge, If he says we are reasonably correct, don't let the influence of the mercantile interest of your section l L t? Keep you iroui voirug *vi kuucu^ county. That our position may be clearly seen on this new county question we submit that we are not now nor ever will be a politican. We have never offered ourself for an office nor would not accept anything if we could in the keeping of Rutledge county, should she succeed. Our position is clearly that of the "greatest good to the greatest number." We expect to share in the general prosperity of a new county, share and share alike with our neighbors and friends.

Editor County Record: ? l Permit me to occupy a short space in your paper, pi ease, for the purpose of telling our friends and the public generally, that Mr Stewart Starr in 'his leugthy "address,''circulated in 1 ? ?? ? /v nanat* linflut* ilofa I a SUppifIllCllt IU UJO yaym uuuti uati i J of August (J, has made several gravej J errors, but as only one is vital at i j this time, will touch upon that, i Mr Starr says that "the Olanta county scheme" is an impossibility tor a number of reasons, the princi-' pal one being that they have not, | and cauuot get, the area necessary i for the formation of a new county. ; Does Mr Starr give us credit for so! little sense? Does he think that I we would work as hord as we have done unless we knew what we were doing? For Mr Starr's benefit, as well as^forihe benefit of the public, I wil .at as a matter of fact, we not 01 j have the necessary area, etc., j but that a survey and a map of the j proposed territory have been made. Mr Starr also says that part of Mott's as well as Douglass townships are knocking to get into Kutledge j county; 1 think that what Mr Starr J must have meant to say was that thej two above mentioned are "knocking*' Rutledge county. In his "grand finale." Mr Starr speaks of being in a certain historic graveyard while writing his "Address" and I think it was a fitting place to write Hutledge county's obituary; and unbidden, comes to my mind the old familiar lines: "Hark, from the tomb, a doleful sound!" 1) E Eraser, Sec and Treas of Ex Com.

As a legal voter in ofcc'fc eat Am, erican democracy, how amKl to dis, charge my duty on August 17?

We voters stand as soldiers > in single file foiming a chain from ocean to ocean, and old Fate (mak-j , ing her rounds among the nations) , is tugging at the ends thereof to see if there is a rotten link to cause the ruin and downfall of our proud, free nation. The chain is no stronger than its weakest link. Am I to be the rotten link in this democracy? Shall T, wilth my vote eustaiL the rust of ungodly law that corrodes ' the stoutest chain and causes it to crumble into red dust? Shall I le galize a thing that will sure|y bring i national destruction? s When Fate held up to the gaze of ' the world the chain of God's chosen i people, the Jews (links forged at God's altar in heaven) it was not ' able to bear the weight of its own corruption of a drunken priesthood : ' and an idolatroue people.
