LIGHT WANTED.

There is a good deal of kicking by
the people, that the Commissioners OF
Pickens county have been appointing
themselves, and their clerk, as special
commissioners to lay off roads in this
county, and have been charging e1'
ira per diem and mileage, for same.
According to the statement OF the
people, and what they say the law Is,
this is a part of the regular work OF
the Commissioners and the Supervis-
or and is paid for in their regular
salary bill. We are no lawyer, but
in Justice to our Commissioners and
the people in general we urgently re-
quest that the special committee OF the
Grand Jury having this Office under
their care, look carefully into the
matter, and e1onerate our Commis'
sioners if they are blameless Of the
charge; and if they are not blameless
then bring them up before the court,
and mete out the proper punishment.
By all means gentlemen Of the jury
give the taxpayers all the light on
the subject they demand.

SOMEBODY PLEASE ANSWER

In the Easley Progress, of this
week, is published alphabetically the
sQuarterly Report of Commissioners
of Pickens County for January, Feb
ruary and March 1908. Approved
and most all paid"
In this report we find the following
item: "Bruce, J. Med, interest on
claims, SS1,S5." Will some one who
knows explain why interest should be
paid on claims? Has any private in
dividuals who has done work for the
County and been paid with certi6-
cate on the County, ever been able to
collect interest on the same? We
emphatically say "No!" We have
never heard Of the like being done
before. If the holder of the claim
aesded his money he tried to dispose
Of it to anybody who would buy, al
whatever discount he could get; and
3he buyer thereof received :'interest"
~ reason of the difference between
shat he bought the scrip for and the
ace value OF same, when paid by the
County, and the longer he held the
scrip the less interest he gets.
Mr.. Bruce, the cashier of the Pick
ems Bank, deals in county scrip, sha7-
ing it at 10 per cen! usually, and this
is fair discount; We have no kick to
make about that; we have no kick to
make about him charging interest on
:hese claims; that is his business-to
end money at interest and make
money for the stockholders OF the
,ank, and We are truly proud he has
ucceeded with the bank as we'll as
ehas financially; but we want to know
'hy the Commissioners will pay him
lterest on their Indebtedness when
icy do not pay it to other creditors?
Will some one please answer
o not all speak at once.

THE "MORTGAGE LITTER y
Some Of the Good Points OF the HOE
the Farmers Friend.

come Of the Good Points OF the doS'
the Farmers Friend.
Diversified farming IS real farming
ond from experience is determined the
most profitable farming. \ man can
engage In cattle raising on rancn
ond Is thus only ranchman, or he
can have large tiocks or herds OF sheep
end is a herdsman, but Il Is the gen.
eral farmer, the diversified farmer,
that engages in hog raising. The hog
is one of the important links or cogs
in the wheel of farm operations. 10
certain extent the hog is an economic
department. He converts the Dyproo-
net that might otherwise be wholly or
partly lost into merchantable pork.
He CLEANS in the grainfields and IS an
important feature to the dairy. he IS
the farmers money maker and the
farmers mortgage LITTER. So true IS
this that it has come to be saying IN
speaking Of hogs as mortgage lifters, -
declares the American Swineherd.
No other animal can turn out so
many pounds Of meat or grain from
the quantity Of grain fed him as can
the hog. He is a machine to convert
| feed into q merchantable production
which is uneQualed by any other ami
NAL The improved hog can be con-
verted into cash as quickly as u crop OF
grain.
This, therefore, makes it easy for
! the grain farmers Of the northwest TO
change from exclusive grain growing
into q grain and stock raiser. No 9TH
er animal can be as comfortably
housed at so little expense as hogs.
Cattle and horses require large barns
that are costly and expensive in COM
parisor with the quarters that can be
arranged to protect the hogs In COM
fort from the weather. They are a
quick asset on the farm and can be
converted into money about as speedi-
ly as a government bond any day of
the year.
The meat of the hog that Is fed on
the grains of the farm or grasses or
fruit is as healthful and wholesome
as any meat that is produced.
The hog IS justly, therefore, the farm
er's friend, paymaster and mortgage
litter" It is from the sale Of hogs that
the debts are paid, that the improve
ments are made on the farm, that the
children are schooled, carriages bought
and that the farmers have become rich
from producing The hog Is an impor'
tant factor, yet as general thing he
gets less care than any other animal
upon the farm. While there is no other
animal in which care will pay so vel!
as the hog, the farmers should give
more thought to his comfort, to his
breeding, to his feeding and to his
treatment.
In this day and age Of progression
which has reached the farm the com
petent and enterprising farmer vii
consider it a great opportunity TO have
the privilege Of subscribing for paper
devoted exclusively to the farmers IN
terests in the hog.

FORGED ORDERS ON PENSION FUND.

FORGED ORDERS ON PENSION FUND.
"AIrs. Susan Holcombe, a pension
er, informs US that some one forged
an order from her to the clerk OF court,
drew her pension money, and we sup
pose, skipped out. She gives the
name of the person who presented
the order and drew the money as j.
j. Hughes, This may be fctieious
name used by the forger to shield
himself from detection. We are in-
formed that this is not the first time
that pension money has been drawn
on forged orders and the old pen
s;oners defrauded out of their money.
The machinery of the law should be
put in motion behind these rascals
ard not stopped until they are caught
and severely punished for their
crimes. We hope Solicitor Boggs
will look into these matters.
The above appears in the Easley
Progress of issue May 20, 1903, We
do not know Mrs. Susan Holcombe,
and the pension roll in the hands OF
Clerk of Court, A. J. Boggs, does not
show the name of any such pensiorer
Clerk Boggs dispenses these pension
funds, and no breath of censure can
be used against him for any failure
to discharge the responsible duties
and important trusts Of his Office II
every way consistent with the welfare
and interests of the pensioners and
the people.
This bald statement charging
man with forgery and that upon the
statement of an individual, herself
mere fiction, so fer as the purposes
of this case are concerned, is an en-
croachment upon the private rights
of a citizen and an utter disregard oi
sacredness of private character.

altogether unmindful of the ordinary

This faringly headed article Of oul
contemporary is not digniGed~ witt

tempered in speaking of it by tn

that the Easley Progress is showing
to the reading public total disregard
of the feelings Of a supposedly repu
table citizen as well as the privat'
character of one OF the most compe
tent and conscientious officials in tn
service of Pickens county.

TURNING ON TIE LIG AT.

In regard to the article by the
Commissioners published in last
weeks paper, we will say the matter
was dropped, so far as we were con-
cerned, but they have opened the
wound afresh and we will have to let
it bleed.
We have not fallen into any error
SSfor after Mr. Welborn explained the
facts we dropped the matter after
publishing the explanation, and on
the other hand we published Mr..
Talley's version of the affair, and
thought he was right, and now we
know he was, for he refused to sign
their denial.
They have made their excuse; how
well it sets with the taxpayers OF
.Pickens county, we leave our readers
to Judge; they have probably heard
the sentiment of some of the voters
strongly expressed already.
In regard to the pier at the Birch's
ford bridge: Commissioner Talley
says it was just as he said; and Su-
pervisor Stephens, in our presence,
and the presence of others, admitted
20 Mr.. Talley that he (Stepbens) and
McAlister did receive the pier, which
was afterwards rejected by Messrs.
Welborn and Talley. Now, who has
fallen into error here? Messrs. Steph-
ems, Talley or US? We leave it for
our readers to Judge.
We had thought to leave our Cem:
missioDers alone and let the @atter
drop, but they call lonasS5ss q Sfor for specif.
cations and we Iust say that we can
'o1sse - s1ssss:ads and specifications
asrownzDy they cannot build from now
sstill doom's day.
They say they do not object to any
or all Of their official acts being made
public; we will say we do not mind
making them public, and seeing who
halloos first. We know whereof we
speak and they do not; for we have
been offered a consideration to keer
our mouth shut and they couldn'
buy us.
Mr.. Talley, who is legally one o.
the Commissioners is not recognized
at all, in any Of the proceedings and
we want to know why it is. Why is
it that Messrs. Stephens and Wei
born will agree on certain thing and
then turn to Maj. Stewart, their clerk
to cast the deciding vote, in place o.
MIR. Talley? Why not give him
voice in the meeting? He is regu
larly elected Commissioner, and draw!
his salary as such, and as such is en-
titled to a voice in the councils Of thi!
body.
Why is it that they have employed
G. E. Robinson as their attorney, ant
pay him a salary, and then ask thei
clerk, Maj. Stewart, what the law is
and abide by his decision, though i
be opposite the advice given them b.
their paid attorney
Will they please answer these ques
tions2
