him I'm regard to refusing q bid some
where for eight dollars, and later letting
the same work for twice that amoapt.
Salem being in my section 1 want Mr..

have not refused low bid on any con-
TRACT and afterwards accepted a higher
/ think Mfr Perry got off the track
when he went to Georgia for evidence
concerning the condition of Oconee's
grades and roads. Oconee surely has as
good and reliable evidence concerning
roads, or other matters, as Georgia has.
Now, Mr.. Perry, please give US full
statement of the case. Put on your gov
ernor belt 80 your little stem. of justice
can shut Off your big head of nonsense.
Give facts just as they are, for / will
engineer your part of the county for the
greatest public good.
Now come with you to the Burnt
lanyard. The work let to Mr.. Rodgers
there was duly advertised. let iE to
the lowest bidder. There were mum.
Der of Oconee's best citizens at the let
ting for no other purpose than to bid for
the work. The bidding started at $3.50
| cried the sale down to 800. Most OF
the bidding was 80, 25 and 10 cents off at
bid. 1t took some time to close the
sale. gave everybody IL fair chance to
make up their minds and bid. There
were present two of the best stone work.
men in Oconee county for the sole pur.
pose of bidding on the work, and they
were the first to stop bidding. 1t was
all rock work and In such shape that nc
one could tell what the cost would be-
After the bidding stopped still tried to
get lower bids, and stated to the crowd
that l did not think it would cost az
much as the lowest bid. Some rock is
harder to work than others and it was
impossible to tell what the cost would
be-. Mr.. Rodgers did first class jot
and it matters not what he may have
paid for work done by others besides
himself and sons.
If Mr.. Perry has the best interest OF
the county at heart, don't sec why he
does, not come to the letting If adver-

A COMPLETE WOODWORKING OUTFIT.

Last week contract was closed by the
County Commissioners with the Alneri-
can Road Machine Company through Mr..
w. A. Neal, agent, for one rock crusher,
two water tanks, two dump carts, two
wheel scrapes and two mule scrapes.
This machinery, together with the two
engines, two road machines, and two
plows bought turee weeks ago, gives
Oconee county complete and up to. date
road-making outflv. Mr.. S. II. Snead will
probably take charge of the entire equip
ment and work the chain gang with it,
There is now no reason why Oconee
should not have first-class road-beds
along all tho main highways in the
course of time, as work of permanent
character can be done. When once built
the expense of repair will be reduced to
minimum. With the right man in
charge of the machines it is bound to be
q success, and the wisdom of the pur-
Chase demonstrated. In the old style of
woodworking thousands upon thousands
of dollars have been expended every
year working over road-beds made years
ago, and still we have bad roads. 1t is
impossible to keep them in fair condition
moro than six months. The necessity of
inaugurating different system has long
been felt, but still our County Commits.
sioners have hesitated for years to make
the venture and purchase an entire road
working outfit. 1t is well the present
board has had the nerve to take the step,
and every citizen who feels an interest
in public Improvement and good roads
should lend them moral support in this
important venture.

Orphans in Need OF Assistance.

Superintendent Wharton, of the ED
worth Orphanage, Columbia, has sent
out tho following urgent appeal, which
will surely not be unanswered:
"Our treasury at the Epworth Orphan
age is absolutely empty; we have not a
dollar to our credit. Provision for our
large orphan family has to be made each
day and our bills must be paid. The
current expenses have not appreciably
decreased in any department, yet oul
contributions have fallen far below oul
urgent necessities. Since our connec.
tion with the orphanage there has moi
been time when tho need of Immediate
help was more urgent than now. We
have no source to which we may look for
support, save the bencvolenco of the
church, whose wards we have under our
care. Let every one who may read these
lines, or whose attention may be called
to them, remember in n helpful way the
claims of our homeless and helpless
children.'

Dallas Hotel Falls as the Guests Sleep.

Dallas, Texas, June 23.-At 2.O5 o'clock
this (Monday) morning the center section
OF the st. James Hotel, located at Main
and Murphy streets, collapsed without
warning and thirteen men were carried
down with the debris without single
fatality. For q few minutes after the
crash it was thought several lives had
been lost, but by quick work firomen and
policemen rescued all those who had not
escaped through their own efforts.
The escape of those who were taken
from the debris was marvellous, as there
were tons of brick, mortar and wood
work piled in above where they were
found. Three men, who were on the
third floor, are thought to be most seri-
ously injured.
The. Sherman lodging house, which is
next door to the ST. James, also fell, but
all the guests escaped. The proprietor,
man named Mcdonald, escaped with a
severe scalp wound.
