factories, oil mills, &C., and erect
their Court Houses when the people
actually need them.
And now in conclusion, Brother
Reformers of Edgefeld, we urge
you to awake-tbrow off your
lethargy-and make all proper eff
forts to thwart the deep laid plans
of those who are striving with
might and main to place us under
domination of the "Old Ring
Rule power once more. And
Brother Reformers throughout the
State-you see our coming trou-
bles and woeful plight-we beg,
we implore you to come to our
succor and to our rescue from the
trap laid for US. Do we ask help
of you in vain? We trow not.

P. S.-Since writing the above
my paper, the Piedmont Headlight,
has come to hand, ard l clip there
from the annexed extract from On
editorial Oh "The New County Ag-
itation:"
"We have conversed with hun
dreds of farmers from every sec
ton of our county, and are yet to
find the first man but bitterly op-
poses any scheme to reduce the
present area of counties in South
Carolina. We never knew our
people SO united oil any subject as
this. They see that this new
county movement is nothing but
the plot of a few ambitious towns
to become county sites for the es-
pecial behoof ard benefit of few
anti property-owners, and of de-
signing politicians to thus divide
and spit up the power of orr far
mers and increase their strength.
Let us cut up Spartanburg Coun-
ty, for instance, to give Gsffney
and Woodruff court-houses, and
the reformers had as we'll bend
their necks to accept tie rule OF
the towns again, for such will
surely be the outcome"
Col. CAN'T bits the nail square
ly on the head-and has our un-
bounded thanks. E. X.

the State for Reform and Good
Government-the home of Till
man and Tillmanism-will be
shorn of her strength and infu.
.ence, and become the laughing
stock of the said new Counties
through whose ill-will and hate
and evil-minded Vaccinations
Edgefeld's dismemhelment and
ruin will have been consummated
am no pessimist or alarmist.
Mr., Editor, but beyond doubt
thiI, will be the outcome of the
present designs of the small Coun.
ty i,chemers, if they are successful
in having their pet projects es-
tablished by Legislative enact
ment. And not only are the Con-
servatives of the above mentioned
towns working like beavers on this
line, but recently the entire Con-
servative press of the State seem
to have seen the "new light" and
are, now daily and weekly indict-
ing long editorials on the great
importance and great necessity OF
more and smaller Counties, the
better to promote the interests and
convenience of the dear people. 1t
is strange-very strange--that
they should all SO suddenly be-
come so solicitious and SO united
in urging the establishment of
these new Counties, never having
discovered reason therefor until
at this particular iunctnre. See,
Mr.. Editor, how clearly it has the
samblance of a new hatched scheme
to overthrow Reformisrn-a last
hope, dernier resort as. it were.
to build up Conservatism and re.
store the "Old Ring Rule party
to power again. Leastwise, it looks
that way to me-and that the
scheme" has been passed up and
down the line-and is aow being
played for all it is worth.
And further, Mr.. Editor, if the
four or five Counties already men
toned are cut off from Edgefield
and then old Saluda-the only
section of Edgefield justly entitled
to a new County, and SHOULD have
had one long ago,-is likewise cut
off, with her fifteen hundred solid
Reform voters, then verify poor
Did Edgefeld, lthe remnant will
indeed be in sorry plight. Aid
worse still, with the three OF four
little Conservative towns yet re-
naming in the old County, very
probably Reform rule will be 8
thing of the past even in proud
Did Reform Edgeield.
We hope our Reform Delegates
to the Constitutional Convention
and our members to fhe Legisla-
ture, will weigh well and investi,
gate thoroughly al the new Coun-
ty schemes and go exceedingly slow
in coming to a conclusion in tie
premises.
With an exception as to salu-
da's petition for new County
because the people of that section
are eminently entitled 10 better
Court House facilities, | am ut
terly opposed to any further sub
divisions of our County at this
time. The little towns herein
named, apparently SO anxious for
Court Houses, are al in a pros
porous and prospering condition,
and will do well, for the present
