A bill declaring that war exists be-
tween the United States of Ameri-

Be it enacted, etc, first; that war

AN EXCELLENT ORGANIZATION.
The County Changing Have Done
Good Work.

The changing has been doing
some good work since it left this
section.. On the road leading
from Lake City to Scranton at
Lake Swamp the road bed has
been thrown up above high water
mark. and the road will never be
full of holes and water hereafter.
Prominent people from that Sec
ton of the county say that the
road where the chainganghas been
at work is now IN better condition
than it has ever been before,
thanks to the excellent supervl-
sion of our co lnty supervisor.
Since the organization of the
gang last spring, there has been
done some good work on the pub
tic roads that probably would
never been done had the Supervi--
sor not advised the organization
OF the gang. Heretofore the con-
victs have all been sent TO the pen
itentialy, and the county got no
work or benefit at all from them.
Now our roads are all being put
in good condition, Notwithstanding
the fact that the chaingang has
but a few members, and has never
had large number OF recruits.
The county board of commits
sioners could no, have done better
than TO give the supervisor the
entire control. of the changing.
for Mr.. Chandler is the right man
in the right place when it comes
10 this sort OF thing. and we are
clad to see that the work he is
having done is being appreciated.

NAV have led to the confusion.
The County Record had into type
an article calling the attention OF
of The clubs to the provision Of the
constitution IN article two, when.
we received the notice from the
county chairman late last We'd
nesday night, and we held back
till the chairman's article could
be set into type.
There has been some talk IS to
whether the delegates that are
to be elected next Saturday las
some of the clubs are to hold
meetings that day)will be allowed
seats in the convention, as they
will not be elected according to the
party IawWec c mo, say, but iftheie e
is any way in which they can secure
seats, then we say by all means let
them participate in the actions Of
the county convention, as the
error in not electing delegates on
the day set apaet for that purpose
was an honest one. .However,th we
presume, will be left to the com
mittee on credentials which viii
be appointed next Monday.

Cage far the Chaingang-

The county supervisor has plac
ed an order for portable cage
for the chaingang, similar 10 that
now in use in Richland and Oar
lincton counties. The cage will
be large enough to accommodate
about twenty five prisoners and
the guards. The apartment made
for the guards will be divided from
the rest of the cage, and will have
window between it and the other
portion. The cage will have SIX
wheels with six-inch tires, and
will be light enough to be drawn
| bv four horses. Already super
visor Chandler has had the offer of
the use of horses to move the cage
from place to place without a cent
of cost to the county. The mem
bers of the chaingang will be kept
in the cage atnight only, of course,
and in the cage will be prepared
ber,hs similar to the berths in a
sleeping car. Mr.. w r Funk has
the contract for making the cage,
and it is expected that it will be
completed in a few weeks.

We have been requested to say
that the local published in last

Mrs. Viola Williams, who
moved here from North Carolina
some months ago, died very sud
denly last Friday night. Magis-
trate Matthews held an inquest
the next day, and the verdict of
the jury was that the deceased

The war news printed in The
County Record every week is the
same that appears in the daily pa
pers of the same date, and our pa
pers are in the poStoffice some
,ime before the train brings the
Charleston and Columbia papers
containing the same thing, so
there is always a rush for the
County Record. THIS paper also
goes out to the country Offices be
fore the daily papers, and to the
offices north of Kipgstree it goes
on the same tram that carries the
News and Courier, so this county
weekly is as good to the average
reader, so far as war news goes, as
any daily paper that can be Sc
cured.
