Presiding Elder J. NJ. Boyd preached at
Fosters Chapel yesterday from Luke D. chap
ter and 9,h verse 'sAnd now also the axe IS |
laid unto the root Of the tree; every tree |
therefore which bringetb not forth good fruit |
is hewu down sud ca.t into the 6re."
Such suotber wall Of hard times / have
never beard-deb unpaii and nothing to
poy with, =,
the Merchants Protective Association this
morning and found that their Association
was fer better than il has been reported to
me. II is nothing more than putting man
Jus, where he stands, so far rs honesty and
dishonesty goes. When q man can and Will
not pay then he can expect to be put on the
b acE list but when a man does all in his
rover and then fails 10 pay out, he gets
credit for it; and it would have heen far
| better for the merchants and farmers both,
/ if this movement had been star: ed years back
| l have a far better opinion Of the Assoca-
| ton than had before talked with one OF
its Secretaries.
| Now few words about the Jonesville and
Lockhart Shoals railroad. In the first place

| ship to vote tax upon ourselves and chill
dren and perhaps our G audchildren, for tho
benefit of private corporation 1t is true
that the tax the road and factory would pay
| when built would come very near bslancing;
| but that being the case what benefit is there to
be derived from the tax on the proposed road
aud factory Now, fellow citizens Of Pinc<-
ney township, remember, if you vote twenty
thousand dollar subscription tn this road,
you will have ia tho ne'ghborhood Of miles
Of railroad tax to pay-not on this one road
but you ore already paying heavy tax on
the Spart.nhurg and Asheville road-and II
you have to pay on another one you will cry
out high taxes, sure enough. You can rest
assured thet Kelton will cast but very few
votes for the railroad, unless they are brought
from the lower part of the Township.
Now, if John Smith wnnted to build gris
mill or put up cotton ginning machinery ant
wss.to ask tho people in his neighborhood Il
subscribe liberal sum of money to build th
, house for his works, they would say, "Johi
Smith is the biggest fool we ever saw

, Lockhart Shoals railroad discussion; but W
can't hep thinking, right here, that if tn
"people in his eighborhood" wanted a girls
D mill or Cotton Gin near them they woul
be fools il they did not subscribe liberall.
