ACCORDING TO LAW.

From the story of the proceedings of
the town council and the board of health,
as published in another column, it would
seem to the average reader that the matter
in dispute is of very little Importance one
way or the other; but such is not the
case. AS unimportant as it looks, upon
it's correct settlement depends the ques-
tion as to whether or not the rules and
regulations of the board of health can be
enforced as law, and it is easy to see that
occasions may arise when such a contin-
gcncy might be of vital Significance.
As to the duties of the board Of health,
or ~ to il. discretion or authority, we do
moi think there IT, the least doubt. Our
opinion m Ia:.rd upon II careful study OF
the lnw hearing uI'nu HE subject, and the

PLAN OF ORGANIZATION.

For the convenience of the cotton grow
ers who expect to organize in the differ
ent townships next Saturday, and in or
der that there may be no misunderstand-
ing we herewith reproduce in full the
plan of organization agreed upon in the
recent county convention:
"Let meetings be called by the respect
i've township chairmen, to be held Ill the
various townships, Oh the 3rd Saturday
in January, 18th instant, 1888.
cat these meetings let there be organ
lied one or more township cotton grow
ers' clubs, each consisting OF president,
one or more vice presidents, and secre-
tary and treasurer. Let each township
also have an executive committee OF
seven, including the county vice presl,,
dent, and six assistants to be appointed
by himself. A.. oo.;,o
committee to, after properly dividing up
their territory, visit personally every COT
ton grower in their township, anu en-
deavor to induce him to assist in the OBJ
jects of this organization by signing the
following pledge:
awe, the undersigned. do hereby. pledge
ourselves to diversity our crops ana not to
plant more than 10 acres in cotton per plow.
We also agree not to increase our plow lorce
for the purpose Of planting more cotton, ana,
| further. we will see to 1t that this obligation
extends to oil lands owned OF cohtrolieu pS
u.s."
"The executive committee charged
with the work of securing signatures to
this pledge, is hereby instructed also
to keep a complete list OF all the cotton
growers who decline to aid US in our ef-
| forts to better our condition along the
line indicated above.
81 Let it be understood that the various
executive committees are expected to
complete their labors by February 10Th,
proXiino. =,
ION or before the 18th proximo, LEI
each executive committeeman report 70
his township vice president the names OF
those who may sign the pledge, along
with those who do not, and let the town
ship vice presidents record these reports
in books to be kept for the purpose.
"After having received the reports OF
their committee, then let each vice presl'
dent at once make report to the county
president of the number who have, and
have not, signed the pledge in the various
townships. -.
"Upom securing the information indi-
Gated, let the county president publlsh Ut
the county papers, the total numoer ol
cotton growers in the county who may
| nave SIRHcu IIC PiSuSS,
total number who may have refused.
Let it be understood also, that the
pledge becomes of force. only when. all
the cotton growing states have taken sim
liar action.'
The respective township chairmen who
have been appointed by President Will
Jams to look after the work OF organlza-
ton, are as follows: D. G.. Stanton
Bethel; P. NJ. Burris, Bethesda; j. E.
Leech, Broad River; r. A. Gwinn, Bull
locks Creek T. M. Allen, Catawba; w
J. Miller, Ebenezer; c. T. Crook, Fort
Mill; w. J. Davis, Kings Mountain; n
A. Simril, York. Several Of the chair
men have announcements of the time
and places of meeting in this issue. Sc
far as we have any information, the Other
meetings will he held at the usual places
in their respective townships.

- The following from the Barnwell
People is an indication Of what some OF
the low lcountry folks think Of the prop
osition for the reopening of the tax
books:
"Governor Ellerbe and Comptroller
General Epton decline to grant any eX-
tension of time for the payment OF taxes
without penalty, and those who failed
through carelessness or poverty to render
unto Caesar the things that are Caesars
before the new year, will have to pay the
penalty of Is per cent. unless the legisla-
ture shall intervene and be merciful.
The Register, of Monday, says that many
members are already under promise to
vote for further extension. Every year
since the Democratic party regained con-
troll of the state government, an extern
sion has been granted, and there has never
been greater need for indulgence than
now. The governor and comptroller gen.
eral will have the opportunity to state
their reasons to the general assembly,
which will meet next Tuesday, and until
they are heard from criticism will be pre-
mature"
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1898-01-12

A certain man happened to be out in
the woods hunting, short while ago, and
got caught in hard rain. The rain pour
ed down in torrents and the hunter
crawled into a hollow log. When the
rain ceased the log had swelled so he
couldn't move an inch. While in that
unfortunate condition he began to think
over all of his meanness and remembered
that he had not paid his subscription to
The Ledger, when he actually felt so small
that he crawled right out Of the log
Lancaster Ledger.
IF our esteemed contemporary insists
that this story is true, we shall not be so
discourteous as to attempt to contradict
it; but, at the same tirle, we protest that
the telling rather than otherwise is in
judicious. The Ledger, no doubt, has
other delinquents who are also hunters,
and if so they will not now consider it
prudent to pay up lest they deprive them
