The running expenses of the county

economic in public matters the county
never will get out of debt.
Mr.. A. F. H. Dukes, of Branchville, is

dition is very critical. At last accounts

feared.

The bill providing for the issuing of
bonds to erect new graded school build
ing in Bamberg passed the legislature all
right, but another election will have to be
held to make the bonds legal. This cleo
ton will be held as early as possible. Our
delegation provided for a tax of three
mills to pay interest and retire one bond
each year, in case the election should re-
suit favorably.
The killing of Elliott Mack last Saturday
night by passenger train emphasizes the
great Importance of requiring trains to
reduce their speed through the corporate
limits of the town. All trains run through
the principal street of the town, and the
high speed at which they run is con-
slant menace to life. We trust that our
CITY authorities will hereafter require all
trains to run slow through town.

successful, and that he will soon be all
right again. Col. Folk himself hopes to
come home in about two weeks.
