THE COUNTY RECORD.
THURSDAY, APRIL 8. 1920
In its report of the town council- j
citizen's meeting held Tuesday night,
of last week for the purpose, as we'
understood it, of passing upon and
settling1 a contention oetween Mr. i
LeRey Lee and Mr. David Silverman,
which arose over the proposed construction
by the latter of a sheet
metal structure to be used as a garage
on the site adjoining Mr. Lee's
law office, we inadvertently failed to j
mention the fact that before the meet- |
ing v.*as over and prior to the taking j'
of a vote, by ballot, of the citizens
present, as an expression of public J
sentiment regarding the question at
issue, Mr. Lee h3d to leave the hall:;
to catch train No. 89 for Charleston, |1
tfius leaving nis interests in ine matter ;
' without representation.
By this omission Mr. Lee feels that ,
The Record did him an injustice,
therefore it wishes here and now to
assure Mr. Lee and the public that
the le; st injustice to anyone in the report
e ade of the meeting was entirely
beyond its intention and purpose. j
The position taken at the meeting by 1
the proprietors of this newspaper was j
. only in accordance with their con-1
. victions on a question involving fair;
play and a square deal alike to each I;
and every citizen.
We 1 ave never and do not now favor '
the construction of metal buildings in
certain areas of the town, nor do we j j
dispute Mr. Lee's right under the i
terms of the town's building ordi-!
nance and the permit issued in ac- j
cordance therewith to object to the|^
construction of a wood frame and iron I
i
clad building on the site adjoining his ,
" office. I
On the other hand, and in view of ; (
I (
the fact that within the past four or i j
five years, and only within the last l
two months, a number of sheet metal J
-structures have been erected within; <
the fire limits of the town as pre- j *
scribed by the same ordinance under ! ^
identically similar permits, notwithr.
standing the letter of the ordinance, j
which piainly prohibits the same.
I 1
To say the least about the whole '
matter, it is regretted by The Record j
and, we are confident, by every citizep of
the town that the contention arose, i
Fortunately, however, and without A
any definite action on the part of the
town council in the matter, the question
was agreeably settled when M r. <
Silverman agreed to erect his build
. 1
ing in iccoraance witn ;ne govern- '
ing ordinance and his permit, regardless
of the sentiment expressed in the
open meeting.
<
Strange how people will howle over ,
a few dollars raise in taxes, when they j
never open their mouths over the 1
cost of automobile upkeep and the j
hard pulls upon their purse strings
from every other angle these days.
But ever since old Noah anchored on
Mount Ararat and sent his passengers 1
ashore men have wrangled over taxation,
and they are going to keep it
up until the millennium.
The Dillon county delegation in the
general assembly did a good day's
work for their constituents when they
gave their support to the measure
which practically assures the building
of a bridge across Big Pee Dee.
Dillon county will receive big dividends
on the money it invests in the
enterprise.?Dillon Herald.
Likewise did the Williamsburg county
delegation commit a magnanimous
act for their constituents when they
gave their support to the measure
which practically assures the bridging
of the Santee river at Murray's
Ferry, .but still it is hard to make
some of our people see it in that
light. We have an idea, too. that
there are a few near sighted tight
wads in Dillon, as well as in Williams- j
burg, who look upon the Pee Dee
bridge proposition just as they do
here upon the -bridging of the Santee.
What has happened to the Williamsburg
Marketing association? Has
t
there been any canvass made tor sto-k
subscriptions, or has the proposition
collapsed an<l died an ignominious
death ?
Florence is planning for a new

Sauce and the Gander. i
An Ohio landlord and tenant recently
disagreed over a 25 per cent, rent
increase for a flat dwelling. The tenant
refused to pay the increase or to
move, so the landlord shut off the
heat Now the tenant has gone to
court seeking damages because he
alleges two of his children became ill
from the chilled rooms.
There are very few people who will
attempt to defend the conduct of this
landlord. To begin with, he probably
can be classed as a "rent hog,"one of
those heartless wretches determined
to use present conditions to get everything
possible out of his propperty
he can. Then he showed his
inhumanity, his callous indifference
to the welfare of others by robbing
his tenant of heat, especially when
there were children in the house. We
do not wish to be considered as defending
such an example of greed.
I yet?
The tenant himself, on the first day
of last November, was one of the 425.
000 bituminous coal miners who quit
work and told millions to "freeze and
be damned" unless he received a 60
per cent wage increase, a six-hour
day and a five day week.
Sauce for the goose is not always
sauce for the gander, yet at times it
comes very close to filling the bill.?

o
Vagaries of Fish
The erratic movement of fish are a
constant source of worry to scientists,
who, try as they will, can never account
for the vagaries of these seadwellers.
Here is a case in point: In
May, 1879, the fishing schooner Hutch
mgs, sailing irom uioucnester, muss.,
was under the command of Capt.
Kirby, trawling for cod off Nantucket.
A strange fish came up in the nets, a
large creature covered with yellowspots.
The men caught over two tons
and brought them to land, where they
were found to be an entirely new family.
Scientists named them "tile fish."
For three years, till 1882, the fish
were caught in huge numbers. Then
the "bankers" reported that they were
no longer to be seen. The news came
that the sea was covered with dead
tile fish. Six thousand square miles
were almost hidden by the dead
bodies. Authorities said that there
must have been a volcanic disturbance
or else some deadly disease had killed
off the fish. In 1915 a schooner working
in the same waters., caught the
tile fish in abundance, and to this
day the fish are there in millions.
u
Engineer J. Edward Leake and his
negro fireman, Jesse Little, both of j
Savannah, were instantly killed when |
train No. 86, on the Atlantic Coast j
Line, crashed into a freigt train at
Jesup. Ga., last night
o
A CARD.
To the People of Williamsburg County:
I have no fight to make against
any man who may oppose me, but
I want to serve you as sheriff, so
take this method of asking your support
in the next primary. I believe
that every well-thinking voter can
see the justice of my claim. I, like
many other boys of the county, did
my full duty to our country. Now
we will see in the coming election
what you think of our sacrifice.
There are many boys of this county
who should have a place in the management
of our counties affairs.
They, with myself, and others of the
30th division, did not stop until the
world was made safe for justice and
democracy, and I don't believe that
you arc going to forget us.
