The Lock and Dam, and the
Damage Thereby.

Mr.. Editor: don't know of any
other means of expressing my opinion
to the public concerning the lock and
dam than through the columns of your
valuable paper. AS / am informed
that the dam across the Tennessee river
at Hale bar is to be fifty feet high.
According to this there won't be any
bottom land in the 9th district but
what will be under water, and then
where are the taxes on this submerged
land going to come fromH / Understand
that Uncle Sam is to pay all damages,
but will he pay to Marion county each
year the taxes that are paid on these
farms2 / say no, because Uncle Sam
don't pay any taxes. Then again the
W alter will be several feet deep in the
public road in many places. Then Ma
rion County must take her money and
build another road. | think it is time
some of our county officials were look
ing about this business.
If this dam had been built at the
Scott point where they first surveyed
it. it would not have damaged twenty
acres but under the circumstances it
will damage several hundred acres of
the best land on the Tennessee river,
but as far as l am concerned they can
dam the river where they pl ease, it
won't damage me any. was only

Kingstree, Nov. 24.-Contrary
to popular expectation, EppS Snow
den, the negro who was at the last
term OF court convicted for the MUIR
der of Bob Brown. another neglo. in
the lower part of the county, and
sentenced to be hanged, was not
executed here to-day-this being the
day fixed by the court for the exc
cution.
After the trial and his conviction,
his attorneys gave notice of appeal,
which notice, under Section 75 of
the Criminal Code, operated as stay
of the execution of the sentence
until the appeal was finally disposed
of. Although the appeal was never
perfected, the question arose as to
whether or not the appeal was final
~ disposed of within the meaning
of the statute, and as it appears that
the appeal is finally disposed OF
when declared abandoned by COM
petent authority, the question arose
as to the authority necessary for
this disposition.

was a case of life and that there was
a conflict of opinion as to the cor

the Criminal Code, Sheriff Graham
