OUR VILLAGE CEMETE-
RY.
A Word in Season.

In all civilized communities the
comfort and welfare of the PEOPLE
are looked after, and the proper
disposal of its dead, are lovingly
arranged. Our town cemetery, /
am sorry to say, has not had tine
proper attention given to it. 1t is
entirely too small and is crowded
so much it is almost an impossi-
bility to find room for another
grave. There is room adjoining
next the street and branch that
C ,uld properly be used, and that
would for some time answer. But
what the town needs is a larger
and more beautiful ground which
l think could be obtained on the
old Stage Road and within the
corporate limits. Nov with the in
crease of population. fine schools,
oil mill, factory &C.. tending to
swell it, why is not ,mething
done? A meeting of citizens should
be called and the location selected.
This is not q selfish matter as
enough ground and sit ironed off"
has been secured to the writer, but
it is for the interest of others. 1t
an acre should be- secured on the
south side and it adorned and
beautified with flowers and shrub
berry, it would redouned to the
credit of the living and be pretty
resting place for our dear departed
and in a short time rival the large
and pretty cemetery at Trenton.
There are few large oak trees dis
figuring the present grounds which
should be Immediately removed;
nothing but grasses and flowers
should be put in cemetery. Let
the citizens of all denominations
come together and work for lar
ger ground and let US all be uni
ted people in striving to have a
larger and more beautiful Goods
Acre"

CARD,FRoM MIR. WHITE.

To The PUBLIC: Having been a
candidate in the primary held the
25th of August ult., in Edgefeld
county for the Legislature a posi-
ton of trust and honor and MIR.
L. ]. Williams having written a
letter to Mr.. F. V. Coop who ex-
hibited it in Cooper Township on
day of election, this letter COLI
tained charges and insinuations
against me which if they nal been
true would have rendered me unfit
to fill The position for which | was
aspiring, which does me and my
friends who supported snd recon-
mended me gross injustice.
These charges having been pur-
posely written just prior to the
election and in such manner tha,
it was only by chance that ever
heard of them on the day of eiec-
ton. So there was no possible
chance to refute them during the
campaign.
Feeling very sensibly the injus-
tice done me and that owe it to
myself aud the voters of Edgefield
EaasxrS2a---Ea--S:aE ElysSS------IsssSIass
Isharges and insinuations contain
ed in this letter | avail myself of
this the only opportunity of reach
ing The public. When demanded,
Mr.. Williams refused to specify in
writing what the rumors were to
which he referred, therefore l could
not affirm or deny thom.
In justice to myself made this
statement that l did not. pu,poselg
and Intentionally make a statement
about L. J. Williams TOR tie pur.
pose of damaging him. By this
statement I did not mean that /
had not made a statement, but
that l Gid not purposely and inten-
tionally make one for the pur-
pose of damaging him, but only
made statement about him when
asked by other parties who had
been referred to me during cam.
paign of 1924. Mr.. Williams ad-
mits that he wrote the letter be-
cause he had been informed that !
had circulated slanderous rumora
about him.
Il
There is no doubt about his ami
mostly against me and on that &C
count his desire to defeat me caus-
ed him to write the letter to Mr..
Cooper and probably others in d f.
ferent sections of the county.
II best vindication I can get is
at the hands of my only accuser
Mr.. Williams. Mr.. Williams re.
tracts what he has written culcula-
ted to do me damage which I trust
will be entirely satisfactory to the
public.
If any one of the statements con-
tained in the letter to Mr.. Cooper
had been true l would not have
received a single vote at my lone
box, south Hibler. At this btx
received 56 votes out of 81 votes
cast where l was born and have
lived ever since.
The members of south Hibler
are as honest, hightoned, patriotic
and intelligent gentlemen as there
a;e in Edgefeld county, and the
members of this club would no;
under any circumstances vote for
u man against whom there was any
suspicion.
Respectfully,
L. D. WHITE.
