Ren Noti NOTHING IUIT THE TRUTH. (Continued from page one) Hughes, Hamblin, and myself, met the gentlemen above named in my committee-room at the State house about 6 o'clock that same evening, as I had they reached Columbia. After the gentlemen from Union , had stated to the delegation what they came for, the Union delegation, Messrs. Hughes, Hamblin and myself, I unanimously agreed, without any discussion, that no bonds could be issued upon an 8 per cent, basis of property i valuation, except to an amount so nvju11 mat il vvaum noi ne surncieni 10 meet all requirements. I told the meeting that there was a i way by which honds could be issued, that we had seen a bill along that line, hut as our committee clerk was absent. T could noE explain just the method or i mode to bo pursued, until the house i met that evening, when I would see < Mr. Thomas Cothran, of my commit- i tee, and give the gentlemen the in- 1 formation. That was all that occurred at that meeting, and we agreed to meet the next morning at 10 o'clock 1 when I would report the result of my 1 investigations as to how bonds could 1 he issued.

Upshaw, "The Georgia Cyclone," delivered an address to a full house upon the subject, "A Stainless Flap* for America." Close attention was priven the speaker throughout his ad dress, which abounded in wit, lopri< and pathos. q. During the address the following resolution was introduced by Rev. Air. 1 1'orter, pastor of the Presbyterian j church: "Resolved, That we most re- j spectfnlly request our representatives in iVif* loonulfifiirt* tn iua thnir infill- ?c - " ' ...... ^ ence and their vote to enact a law that will secure for our State the real prohibition that our people have twice ? voted for at the polls."

I saw the mayor and city council that same evening, at my hotel, after the legislature had adourned, between 10 and 11 o'clock, and told them what 1 had found out, and I said, "Now, the only thing for you to do is to issue bonds on basis of maintaining and extending your electric light'and water works systems." Mr. Wharton, the mayor, said he was sure he could get the commissioners of public works to join in with the council, and get the issue of bonds desired. The mayor and entire council seemed much pleased over the situation. On the following morning, according to appointment, the delegation from the City of Union met the Union county flelegation to the legislature in my committee room at the State house. I showed the law regarding the issue of bonds to both Messrs. Hughes and Hamblin; I then asked council for their request in writing to the delegation to arrange a bond issue in line with the law governing said issue, which Lhey gave, signed by mayor and all the council, and Mr. Arthur, as clerk. Mr. Lybrand was absent, as before stated, on account of sickness of his child, but I\r. Wharton said he would sign had he been present.
