NOT ICE.
TO THE PUBLIC.

7 now have few convicts with
which to work the. roads of Edge
field county, under sentence of
the court, but they are SO few
that it will take a long time to
gel around; however, I'll make
this suggestion: There are great
many ditch bridges in the county
that cost good deal or money in
the aggregate. Now, if farmers
will haul out of their plantations,
rocks and stones that may be in
the way, and pile them near these
bridges, 1 will take these convicts
from time to time and fill up the
bitches with the rocks, thus doing
away with the necessity of wooden
bridges and saving q good deal to
the county in tie way of lumber
bills.
AS an indication of what these
little bridges cost. the county l
would say that on one piece of
road a mile and a half long there
are seventeen ditch bridges. This
may be, and probably is, the worst
piece of road in the county for
ditch bridges, but is by no means
the only piece, they probably run
10 into the hundreds.

Those

At a meeting of the Board of
County Commissioners, held on
Monday the 18th, inst, Mr.. j. D..
Fraser, Secretary of the Board,
and County Supervisor Whittle, a
member ex oficio Of the Board,
were sworn and examined touch
ing certain of their acts reported
by the Grand Jury. After the ex-
animation, the Board passed the
following resolutions:
Resolced, That, upon investiga-
tion of the acts of the Secretary Of
this Board and of the County Su-
pervisor, criticised by the Grand
Jury, we End, after examining. the
said officers on oath, that the focts
IN the premises are as follows:
1. Mr.. ]. D. Fraser, Secretary of
the Board, without authority of
law or of the County Board, and
without the knowledge eveu of the
Supervisor, has paid himself two
hundred (200) dellars for his SER
vices, when the Attorney-General
of the State had previously advis-
ed the Board that there is no au-
thority of law to pay any arount
to the Secretary for such s. fvices (;
and this act on the par, ., the said
Secretary is palpably illegal.
2. The Supervisor, in signing
checks for Mr.. Fraser without
knowing what he was signing, con-
vicls himself of gross carclessness
in performing an important part
of thu duties of his Office.
3. The Supervisor has been APP
proving certain claims against the
County without submitting them
to this Board; and we regard such
acts as of doubtful legality, and as
certainly prejudicial to the inter-
ests of the County.
4. The Supervisor has approved
an account for N. G. Evans as At
torney for the County for fifty (5O)
dollars, when the Attoruey-Gen r
al of the State had previously ad-
vised this Board that there is no
authority of law to appropriate
County funds for such purpose.
Res0lyed, That this Board had
no knowledge of any of the facts
stated above until the report of the
Grand Jury called their attention
thereto.
Resolcetz, That J. D. Fraser is
hereby requested to resign the
office Of Secretary Of this Board.
The Board ordered that the fore
going resolutions be published in
the County papers.

Tillman and Talbert at Mt. Will
ing.--The Local News.

The meeting at NJ. Willing on
Saturday last was largely attend
ed. The meeting was called to
order by DR.. Kennerly who after a
few remarks introduced Jas. P.
Bean as chairman.
Mr.. Bean in a few pertinent
words introduced Senator B. R.
Tillman. Mr.. Tillman in his lucid
and forcible style gave us splen-
did exposition of the monetary
status of our government and COM
mon country. We think he con-
vinced the masses that the fnan-
cial policies of our general gov
ernment are wrong and amount
to nothing less than a system of
robbing and stupendous frauds,
enabling a few gold bugs to roll in
millions of ill-gotten gain while
the people at large are daily grow
ing poorer. His denunciation of
Cleveland and his financial poll.
cys was scathing and full of
bitterest irony.
Then Hon. w. j. Talbert was
introduced. He made a telling
speech in his own inimitable style.
He is forcible speaker brim full
of pluck and as fearless as a lion,
consequently he never hesitates or
falters in the performance of his
duty. HIS course in congress has
been eminently satisfactory to his
constituents and we fondly hope
and believe that he yet will be
instrumental in accomplishing
much and lasting good for those
be serves and for our whole coun-
try.

Scratch" Whittle, Supervisor of

pert at bookkeeping. He may not be
a profound scholar or even an A. B.
graduate of q modern, up-to-date, one
horse college. But it will be difficult
matter to make Edgefeld county peo-
pie believe that he is liar a thief a.
robber and a gambler, or that he runs
off with other mems wives at the drop
of a hat and drop it himself, even
though the Potiphar kind were as thick
in Edgefield as leaves in vallombroza.
