A BIT OF HISTORY.
Or how our County and Taxpayers
We're bled under the Pierce
Stranathan Regime.

The pending dismissal of the Stat,
vs.. Pierce ct. al. case, by order OF tn,
board of county commissioners ha!
created considerable Dissatisfaction
among some of the heavy taxpayers o.
the county. The position taken by the
board was IN substance this:
The case is one of old standing, al
though the state was several times vie
torlous in the lower court, it was as
often reversed by the supreme court
Under the rulings of the supreme coufl
the board deemed it next to impossible
to obtain a judgment, arguing also
that even in the event of obtaining 9
Judgment. it was very questionable
whether dollar could be collected
from the bondsmen. In this connection
we have only to suggest that some OF
these same bOndsmen have qualified on
bonds subsequently up and above the
amount of judgment prayed for. All
that we have to say in regard to this is
that if the county's interests are SO.
cured by only straw bonds the people
should know it and steps should be
taken to make them good and avoid this
damnable plundering of our taxpayers
in the future.
AS the matter now stands, the case
is settled and the county is loser to the
tune of several thousand dollars of
good hard cash. Just to show what
the Professionalism rule has cost the
county, we take the following from the
records of the county clerk:

Here is a plain case which, after be-
ing unclothed of all apologies, amounts
to nothing but theft and robbery COM
mitted by men who were chosen to be
the guardians of the county. In other
words, the majority of the board of
county commissioners pierce and
Stranathan) have taken $1,000 out of
the county treasury to employ attorn.
eys to defend themselves in actions in
which they were criminally and civilly
prosecuted. 1t is one of the boldest
outrages that the history of this coun-
ty has ever recorded; the county has
been plundered by az unholy gang of
leeches and employed counsel to get
the conspiratOrs out of the clutches of
stern justice which was finally accom-
pllshed through the technlcalities of
the law. Of course an occasional air.
ing of this infamous plot will not bring
any of the lost money back into the
vaults of the treasury but it should
serve as warning and lesson to every
taxpayer and voter of the county in Sc
Letting county officers in the future.

Mr.. Eubanks stopped in the fiat one

far as doctor is concerned we don't
get sick. Yet we would suggest by
the way that the correspondent from
