Argument Against Lee County.
Sumter, S. c., Sept. 13, 1901.


Editor Watchman and Southron:
Sir: During the past week | have
been searching for knowledge among
the Lee county adherents, as to the
benefits that would accrue to me, pos
sessing place and voting precinct
within eight miles of Bishopvllle, by
the formation Of new county.
One adherent said, the value OF my
land would be increased. -
On that theory, the lands of Oswe-
90, eight miles from SUMTER should
be more valuable than mine as Oswe-
90 has been that distance from the
county seat for many years. But any
wide awake farmer knows that the
comparative value would depend on
the fertility of the soil, 2nd, on its
railroad facilities, and Sd, on the near
ness to the largest market.
Another Lee county man sald' II
the majority of your nelghbors want
it, you ought to vote with them.
That's a good ring rule, but it's
hardly an argument in this twentieth
century development of brain matter.
Besides, my neighbors have yet to de-
monstrate at the polls that they want
Lee county. Still another argument
was ''if you don't have Lee county,
some little X Crossroads will start up
as a county seat and that will be worse
than Bishopville. y
It seems very plain to me that we
have the same lawful measures IN
force to prevent X Crossroads from be-
coming our county seat. The voice OF
two thirds of our people would be
heard so quickly, that there would not
be the least indistinctness.
Personally l hope that Bishopvllle
may grow and prosper and overflow
with milk and honey or any juice 1t
prefers.
But l cannot see why l should pay
increased taxes perhaps SO to $50
increase, without benefit to me. at the
present time. We cannot take into
consideration the wild surmisings

THAT BERKELEY ASSESSMENT.
An Explanation by Mr.. BrantIey

I learn with surprise that Mr.. Lever
and his friends are still endeavor1ng
to use against me in the campaign for
Congress distorted version Of the
Berkeley county assessment incident.
AS my statement OF this matter
seems not to have been entirely under
stood in the district, wish to re-state
emphatically that have never paid or
offered to pay the Berkeley county as
sessment. When first notified by the
County committee, I wrote Mr.. Wig
Gins. secretary of the committee, that
I was willing to pay if necessary, but
suggested that the assessment was ex-
cessive and that it should be more
equitable to divide among the candl-
dates the expenses of the election and
I would be willing to pay my share.
This letter was written before the
agreement was reached by the candl-
dates that no assessment would be
paid. Subsequently [ refused to pay
any part Of the assessment. On the
7th, day of September received a
telegram notifying me Of the issuance
of Major Howell's circular based on
the card of Mr.. Harmon in The Echo
and Press. My opponent Mr.. A. Frank
Lever was in my Office in Orangeburg
on that day, and I discussed the mat
ter fully with him, making to him sub
stantially the same statement and ex-
plantation of the matter as IN this
card. Mr.. Lever said he was satisfied
with my denial and would correct the
story wherever he heard it in his
county. Major Howell based his ac-
ton on published statement, at that
time undenied, and which had it been
true would have justified his course:
In continuing the story Mr.. Lever had
no such excuse. I have today for
warded a copy of this card to Mr..
Lever in order that he may have full
opportunity to reply thereto before the
primary if he cares to do so. [ am
inclined to think however, that the
matter will end here. If Mr.. Lever
has forgotten his conversation with
me, and is now unsatisied with my
emphatic statement, the following cor
respondence will show how the matter
stands and will set it at rest.
Yours Respectfully,
Thos. F. Brantleg.
