which we will be called on to pay
within the next ten years if we 81
lently submit. Will our people
submit to this? Can they endure
it? The courts may enforce the
payment of these bonds, but We
should not submit without resist
ance to such robbery. We should
do all in our power to avert such
a miscarriage of justice.
Let every legal voter on the 18th
of March show himself at the polls
and assert his unwillingness to
submit to such foul filching of his
property by voting to resist pay
ment of bonds without value and
without consideration TO oar peo-
pie. Let the matter be fought to
the last court and justice must
prevail.
The compromise now proposed
by certain attorneys is delusion
and a snare, a clap-trap to ensnare
our people. The astute attorneys 8
only represent small per cent of
the bonds upon which they offer a
compromise, and when part of a
debt is recognized as valid, the
balance must be assumed without
discount or upon sucn terms as
the creditor may dictate. The
compromise offered is no compro-
mise at all, for the taxpayers will
have to pay nearly the whole as.
even on the compromise
portion as proposed.

in the supreme moment, although
he saw naked, writhiDg, burning

to portray the cruelty of bringing
a baby from its mothers womb IN

A WARNING.

! desire to say few words to
the taxpayers of Pickens Town
ship about subject which it now
seems will give them much concern
in the near future. Doubtless
many of our people have forgotten
that in 1885 bonds were voted in
aid of the Chicago and Cumberland
Gap railway to the amount of
$15,00000 by Pickens Township.
1t was understood by the people
that these bonds were to be deliv-
cred to the parties who were to
build the railroad menti oned when
the road had been completed and
the trains were running through
Pickcns Township. The railroad
has never been built into or through
Pickens Township, but informa-
tion now comes that those bonds
are held by parties in New York
City who will soon attempt to en-
force the payment of the bonds il
the United States Court. The
mention Of this attempted injus-
tice and robbery of our taxpayers
makes their wrath rise righteously.
But this is not all. In the year
1885 our people were deceived into
voting an issue of bonds On Pick
ems Township In aid of the Au-
gusta, Edgefeld aud Newberry
Railroad to the amount of $4,000,
which bonds were to be deposited
in some bank in escrow until this
proposed road had been built
through the township. These bonds
were delivered TO Mr.. Mitchell, and
he did deposit them in bank bu'
not in TRUST. He hypothecated
them for loan from bank, and
that bank knew that the conditions
IF the bonds had not been fulfilled.
These bonds, or portion of them,
are now being sued on in the
United States Court. IF our peo-
pie do not bestir themselves to
obtain TIE bestlegal talent to fight
the suit on those bonds, judgment
will be obtained and their collec-
ton will be enforced.
Itdoe; seem that there should be
some justice i'll the administration
Of the law, and it should be the
iudgmep Of the courts that those
bonds are invalid, if all the facts
are prese 1ted to the courts regard
Ing their issuance and holding.
Our State courts have declared
them unconstitutional. Their ell
forcement would be calamity,
which would we'll nigh bankrupt
our taxpayers.
We have no township govern
ment, hut by en- act of the last leg
islature the people of Pickens
Township are put IN position to
raise a fund to resist the payment
of these unjust bonds i'll the courts,
bonds which are held without con-
sideration and without right. If
the people of our township do not
act in this matter, they can expect
nothing except to have the pay
ment Of the bonds enforced on
nem and future generations.
Twenty-four thousand dollars is
the amount our township has voted
IN aid Of railroads which have
uever been built. Add to this
mount interest OH $4,000 at Z
DER cent for six years past, $10,0S0,
and for ten years to come, $16,S0O,
making a sum total Of principal
and interest amounting to S5O,SSO,
