GREER COUNTY.

The question of disputed boundary III
regard to this territory is still waiting
such action as congress may see Ut 10
take to bring this important matter TO
final adjustment, and as the state Will De
Teouired to ratify the proceedings of con-
gress to make the plan or settlement
which NAV be decided upon operative, IL
is hoped and expected that our members
of congress viii expedite the matter so
that your honorable bodies may give 1t
your speedy attention. 1t is a rich ana
fertile section and is being filled up with a
thrifty. law-Ioving people, but their
prosperity and development is greatly re-
farded by the uncertainty surrounding
their homes, and the state, while exerz
cising nominal jurisdiction, is precluded
from the full enjoyment of that proprie-
torship extended over other portions OF
her territory This is very unfortunate
condition of affairs, and is imposing upon
all concerned train of evil, the magnl-
tude of which it is difficult to conceive OF

PUBLIC ROADS.
The Question of Means and Expectancy Alone
Left for Consideration.

The Question OF Means ana ECpeote'sCy a'"'''
Lett for Consideration.
The general obligation and necessity
for better highways is fully acknoWl-
edged, and the question of means and
expediency alone are left for considera-
ton. Should you deem it advisable to
enuraft the local option feature upon the
law. under which counties may issue
bonds for road purposes, l respectfully
nroe upon YOU the great Importance OF
restricting the power to well dehned
limits. in order that the people may not
he burdened with a heavy puohc
debit beyond their capacity 10
nav. constituting a mortgage upon
Their property for years to come. Moth
ing in my humble judgment short or dlre
necessity can justify people III entering
into that worst of all slavery, debt,
which. in most instances, is like con-
suming fever and wasting consumption +,
and the temporary prosperity it brings Is
generally but the herald OF death, ana
noints to the tomb of their highest ana
hest interests. To repeal the present
road law entirely and attempt to keeE
! and Droyide for public roads by
! +oxo+inn alone, would be as I'M
! inst as the law now is in many o.
! its features, and would practically con-
fscate the property of some sections
where il is mainly in the hands of
minority of the people, and 1t Woul'
exempt a large class who contribute II
no other way to the necessities Oh IN
state, not even paying a poll tax. In
Dropertv owners are largely burdene'
with the education of their children, am
should not be required to furnish then
good highways free of cost or eXertion o.
their part. There is mutu
alitv of obligation which shout
not be ignored in considering TN
ouestion. We learn from history tina
Napoleon when emperor, utilized IN
labor of the occupants of prisons upo
the public roads which he planned an
constructed. and in addition TO this fore
gaye employment to such paupers an
moor generally as were able and desire
TO work. AS the result of this policy tn
hest system of roads ever built IN an
country was constructed in France land II
people for the time were prosperous, an
IdIeness was unknown. This would see
to suggest the wisdom of at least bett'
: use of some of these agencies by II
county authorities. With the firm bell
that YOU fully realize the momentous j
sues entrusted to your decision for q
prosperity, happiness and welfare OF Il
great body of the people, this message
. respectfully submitted.

FURNISHING OF NEW CAPITOL.

It was matter of much regret on my
part that the provision of law for furnish

ouisite tWo-thirds majority to put II INTO
operation at once. Being extremely de-
sirous of having the new furniture IN
place, in order that your assembly mlght

and convenience afforded, l lost no time
in appointing the board and lnau-
gurating their labors when

thority SO to do. and their report to which
YOUR attention is called viii show you
that they have not been wanting IN that
reasonable diligence which was expected
in the discharge of trust of such mag
nitude. They have felt that the interest
of the state was to be fully guarded III
this matter, and time was an important

enable them to meet the requirements
imposed by the careful and strictly
! guarded contract which covers every de-
tail necessary to secure furniture of the
| character and quality anticipated by INT

DEN1soN, TEX, Jan. 1O.-About II O'Clock last
night Dave Rhea, ex-assistant county attorney,
left West Main street and turned into the vacant
lots lust west of Bailey & Howard drug store
He was on his way home and was making short
cut across the lots The lot is filled with
old wagons, machinery and other pieces
of dilapidated agricultural debris When Dave
approached the corner nearly opposite the
Methodist church pistol shot rang out, ana
bullet whistled unpleasautly near his head. Inc
shot was followed in rapid succession by -FOUR
others and Rhea left with haste. He returned 10
Main street and met Policemen Hackney
and Preston, securing shotgun ne
charged it with buck-shot and the trio
started mn to the scene of the shooting. On the
way up Hackney and Preston made an arrest ana
started to the Jail with their man. Dave pro
ceeded, while Hackney and Preston were 70
come up Chestnut street. After Rhea left the
