by Mr.. George H. Crafts. of Atlanta,
the original builder He offered to fur
nish labor, material and supervision
and do the work for $1,3I5, or If the
county would furnish the timber and
labor, he would furnish the iron and
supervision and do the work for $I90.
After due consideration, 1t was decided
to accept the last proposition and give
Mr.. Crafts $3.50. 1t Is understood that
by doing the work with the chaingang,
the county can save at least $500. Mr..
Crafts proposes to begin work on or
about September 10 and complete the
job within Is days.
A number of petitions were submitted
asking for the opening of new roads in
different sections Of the county; but the
board laid down the proposition that 1t
would not consider such petitions until
the petitioners should come to them
with rights of way already secured and
satisfactory guarantees for the con-
struction of bridges without cost to the
county.
A suit brought by Mr.. J. r. Jenkins
against the county for damages sus-
tained by his son, Charles NJ. Jenkins,
and his horse. by falling through the
Allison creek bridge, was compromised.
The accident occurred several weeks
the mail over the route from Yorkvil!e
to Yorkville. by way of Bethel, Zeno,
Point. Clay Hill, etc. The bridge ap-
peared sound enough, but broke
through with the horse, throwing MIR.
Jenkins off and injuring him badly.
The horse was skinned up considera-
bly, and afterward died, as the result
of the injuries. Mr.. Jenkins brought
suit for s1o0. and after investigating
the circumstances. the board decided to
compromise for S65. which amount was
accepted by the plaintiff.

WITHIN THE TOWN.

fThe Belmont, N. c., and Yorkville
colored baseball teams, have been play
ing series of games this week. The
first game was played Wednesday, the
second Thursday, and the third was ap-
pointed for yesterday afternoon.
The summer school for colored
teachers has been in progress in York
Vile since July % with Prof. w. P.
Andrews, of Sumter, as principal. Six
ty-one teachers have been enrolled, and
the daily attendance averages about 20.
The school seems to be doing very good
work.
-Catoe Johnson and his wife, colored,
were before L. S. Commissioner Hart
last Tuesday afternoon on the charge
of having attempted to cash money
order belonging to Hannah Webb, COL
ored. The testimony showed a strong
probability that the Negroes really had
reason to believe that the order was
intended for them, and Commissioner
Hart dismissed the case.
xMr. G. H. O'Leary has rendered his
designation as a member Of the board
of alderman. In his capacity as
president of the TavOra Cotton mill,
he will be brought into business rela-
tions with the town about water and
lights, and under these circumstances
he feels it is hardly proper that he
should continue as member of the
council.
Il The stockholders of the Tavora Cot
fon mills met on Thursday, pursuant
to notice, and organized by the cleo
ton of directors as follows: G. H.
OLeary. 3. n. Moore, w. b. Wylie, II.

meeting of the directors, Mr. G. H.
O'Leary was elected president, but no
other officers were CHOSEN. 1t is pro-
posed to start the mill so soon as a
competent and satisfactory superinten-
dent can be secured.

AT loss for anything else to say, in
view of Senator McLaurin's reply to
the state executive committee, The
News and Courier refers again to the
fact of Senator McLaurin's vote in ia
vor of the Philippine treaty after hav-
ing spoken against it. Senator Nc
Laurin explained that was a case of
having changed his mind after having
been convinced that he was wrong, thus
committing an offense of which The
News and Courier nor its compatriot,
The Columbia State, are never likely
to be guilty. When these contempora-
ries are convicted, it only causes them
to redouble their protestations and ex-
cuses.
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1901-08-10
McLaurin's Reply.

We do not think that there are a
great many people in this state who
really believe any of the slanderous ac-
cusations that have been made against
Senator McLaurin by his enemies; but
still the senator's thousands of enthusi-
astic friends have reason to feel very
much gratified at the convincing power
and clearness with which he has pre-
sented his case in his reply to the state
executive committee.
Referring to this overwhelming pa
per. some of the senator's enemies have
taken occasion to remark that 1t con-
tains nothing new: that it is merely a
threshing over of old straw. In meas
ure this is true: true in the same meas
ure in which the senator's enemies had
again piled up their old straw before
the thresher. Yes. it is the same old
straw that should have gone to the
manure heap originally. and which, If
the senator's enemies had the slightest
sense Of decency they would certainly
corsign to the manure heap now.
But there is no reason to hope that
ths is the end of the fight. The origi-
nal assault having been based upon de-
signing malice. it is not to be even hop
ed that the aSsailants will be deferred
from their purposes by what is to them
such a contemplate thing as truth.
They are after Senator McLaurin be-
cause of his marked ability, because of
his lofty patriotism. because of his re-
fusal to bow the knee to unscrupu!ous
ringsters, because he knows no master
except the sovereign Democratic voters
of South Carolina.
In considering the case of Senator
, McLaurin. we are minded of certain
fable of wolf and a lamb in which the
senator may be likened unto the lamb
and the wolf to the political ringsterS.
According to the story, the wolf met
the lamb in field, and at once decide
upon having a mess of fine mutton;
but desiring to give what he was about
to do at least the appearance of justi-
fication, he set out in this wise: "Oh,
no! my fine fellow, it is you who have
been eating the grass from my pasture;
what do you say to that?" Il beg your
pardon, good sir" replied the lamb; but
up to this time have never eaten any
grass. WELL" continued the wolf:
but you have been drinking water
from my spring." Pardon me again,
sir: but up to this time Of my life, my
mothers milk has furnished my only
food or drink" AS a matter of justifi-
| ton, the wolf was completely estopped;
but instead of giving up the case, he
replied: "All that may be true, my
young fellow; but l will give you to
understand, here and now, that al
though you have the best of me in facts
and arguments, 1 shall not allow you
to deprive me of my dinner" and
straightway the lamb was devoured.
Up to this time Tllman and his
| henchmen have never been able to con-
vict Senator McLaurin of eating grass
from their pasture or drinking water
| from their spring, and they will never
be able to do so; but as to whether they
| will he able to devOur him or not, will
| .lepend upon whether or not truth and
Justice are still the prevailing elements
in the hearts of a majority of the people
iof South Carolina.
