"a Gard From tho County Commissioners

"a Gard From tho County Commissioners.
To the Editor anderson zT,tell:gcneer !:
mo. asks the Board of County Commits
sioners to explain the facts connected
with the ferry over Seneca River, at
Sloan's old ferry. This is a reasonable
request, and ne wiil-comply Herewith
with pleasure.
The County Commissioners are required
by law to keep open and to keep in repair
all the public roads in tho County, and no
public road can be closed except in the
manner provided by the Statutes.
When the present Board Of County
Commissioners was elected, and had enter
ed upon the discharge Of their duties, they
found the public road leading to and from
Sloan's old ferry cut in two by Seneca
River, the iron bridge over it a short time
before having been washed away.
Strictly speaking it was our duty to
build another bridge in the place Of the one
washed away, so as to keep this public
highway open for travel, but we did not
think the County, with her finances in the
condition they were in at the time, could
afford the expense of another bridge, espe-
cially as the iron bridge then lying de-
stroyed in the river. had only in part been
paid for. Having reached This conclusion
petition, signed by number of respec
table citizens, was presented to the Board
asking us if we did not feel able to build
another bridge, to at least secure for those
citizens in the Fork desiring to come to
the Court House and to market free pas
sage over a private ferry in about one
hundred yards of the bridge site. We
thought this to be very reasonable prop
osition, and we did make temporary
arrangement with the owner of the ferry
to pass all citizens of the County coming
from the Fork or going to the Fork on
business free. We thought then, and we
still think, that these people had right
to travel this public road, and if they.
could not travel it because of the want OF
bridge, either a bridge or some other
means Of crossing should be provided for
them.
Now, Mr.. Editor, it may have been
wrong in us to provide for, crossing this
river by boat, instead Of erecting new
bridge, but we will leave it to the taxpay-
ers Of the County to determine whether
we should have built new bridge, or
whether what we did was not the best
thing we could have done under the Cir
cumstances.
In conclusion, we will only add that the
County has had to pay out hnt afew dol
lars on account Of this arrang gement-say
not more than $35-while the building Of
new bridge would have cost between
five and six thousand dollars, according
to the character of the bridge built.

and characters, and those who personated
these characters, would occupy too much
of your valuable space. Suffice it to say
that each and every person connected with
the entertainment acted we'll their part,
and while some, perhaps, done better than
others, all done extremely well. Messrs.
Eowbridges and Miss Mamie Nicholson
furnished the music for the occasion, and
it is unnecessary to say anything in praise
Of their performance. al know them too

entertainment was Is cents, the object of
which was to pay for an organ for the use
of the Reading Club and the Sunday
School at the Institute. Mr.. D. P. Bowen,
who.was door-keeper, reported that be had
received for admission tWenty-seven dol

Her taking away was very sudden, she
having been i'll only about twenty-four

great shock to her numerous friends and
acquaintances. Mrs. Barr was born at
Pendleton, but moved to Anderson with
her parents when little girl, and has
always resided here. Early in life she
joined the Presbyterian Church, and
throughout her life was most consistent
christian. In 1867 she married Mr.. W. j.
Barr, and by this union she Leaves six
children to cherish her memory. Mrs.
Barr was in the 4ltb year OF her age, and
possessed native disposition of gentle-
ness and purity. Naturally retiring and
modest, she was ever ready for any duty
which conscience pointed out. AS daugh-
ter and sister, she was ever kind, consid-
crate and helpful; as wife and mother,
she was most tender and affectionate;
and as friend, she was most sympathetic
