build bridge across Indian Greek

There Is not road In Tyler county
that is travelled by the public more
than this road, and why the county
court has refused to build a bridge

present county court does not lock
after our interests soon, there will
be an election this fall and we will
elect man that will loot; after our
interest, as we feel now that our
interests have been neglected.

"Fr-h'm, Gentlemen of the jury,
began Squire Peavy. a moss grown
bur sbrewd old Arkansas justice of the
peace. near the close of the trial Of a
ciffzen WHO was accused OF embez-
zling a hog. "if you believe what the
LAWYER fer the defense has said you
will be convinced that the prisoner is

his WHISPERS and the fact that he slut

"Il YOU believe what the lawyer for

apt to lose sight of the hog altogether
and convict the prisoner of murder in
the first degree. arson, bank robbery
and piracy on the high seas and finish
your work by hangin' him on the tall
est tree in the township. But if you
are like me and don't believe much
that either of 'em has said and person

PRISON SHIP JERSEY.

las it looked in Revolutionary days,j
the Revolution to serve as prison ships
for the patriots. But of all these terri
bic prison ships the "old Jersey"-the
Hell" as she was called-was the
most notorious She was originally a
sixty-four gun ship, but had become
unfit for actual war service.
In 1882, when Alexander Coffin was
sent a prisoner on board the old Jer-
sey, he found about LOO prisoners
there, many of whom during the sever
ity Of the winter were without cloth
ing to keep them warm. To escape
freezing it was even necessary to walk
the decks briskly or to stay below.
Only by using great effort could they
keep from freezing, and many of the
prisoners, wasted by sickness, had not
the strength for the effort. They es-
capped smallpox and yellow fever only
to fall victims to the cold.
In his memoirs Mr.. Coffin says the
prisoners were fed on putrid beef and
pork and worm eaten bread which had
been condemned on the English war
ships. It wGs so full of vermin that
they had to beat it against the hull be-
fore they could eat it. On the upper
gun deck hogs were kept in pens for
the use of the officers. When the hogs
were fed bran, the prisoners would
steal it from the trough
1t is estimated that 1000 patriots Of
the Revolution persisted in the Jersey
alone After the Revolution she was
abandoned and finally sank. 1t is not
likely that she win be raised.

DUTY CALLS You
TO THE POLLS.

Rcmouber that the general cleo
ION takes place on the 4th Of Novem-
2er, Every voter should go to the
s,oll5 and vote. Many may think
he votes in the primary election set
led the question. Well, SO it did in
sense. But you must remember
hat an effort is on foot in Washing
on, engineered by the Republicans
to cut down our representation. They
wish to base the different States rep
resentation on it's voting strength.
They hope to clip of several Of the
Southern representatives on account
OF the negro having, in measure,
been removed from tho ballot box.
No matter how strong vote is cast
in the primaries, this will not have
any effect when the question comes
up in Washington. 1t is the voting
strength shown in each Congressional
district at the general election that
is considered. 1t is therefore imper-
ative that every voter in every Con-
gressional district in South Carolina
should go to the polls and cast his
ballot on November 4th. Don't stay
away from the polls and then Set up
q howl if our representation in Con-
gress is cut down. Let Union county
poll larger vote ii possible than
was cast at either primary.
