~yu,. ..vsse is retiectsoH
upon our county and entirely mad
eouate to our needs. We would
recommend that our Senator anc
Representatives at the next conven'
ing of our legislature try and devise
some means by which we can ou!id
a new court house that will amply
supply the needs of our prosperous
county, and be an ornament to our
county seat
The Senator, out of regard for the
recorded wishes of these representa-
rive citizens making up the grand jury,
asked that the taxpayers come toGeth-
er and give some expression on the
Question whether or not they endorsed
the views OF the grand jury, 10 oroer
that their representatives might be IN
possession of the general sentiment be-
fore going to the legislature. Inc en-
tire delegation was present:
Senator Applet called the meeting
20 order and explained its object. Cnar-
Teton DuRant, Esq. was chosen CHAIR
man with J. NJ. Woods, secretary.
The first matter discussed was the
new court house, and it was easily seen
that the people were not prepared to ac-
cept any raise of taxation: some OBJECT,
ed on account of the present depressed
conditions, while others were opposed
because they were against improve
ments which cost anything without
considering nor caring for the benefits:
then there was an element with an op-
position for petty political reasons.
Senator Appelt made the following
showing of the county's assessed Valu-

not in humor to stand for new court
house, it will do good, it will have a
tendency to enliven an interest in our
county affairs, and sooner or later those
opposed to Improvements now will
want them. 1t is the intention OF the
Senator during his term of Office to call
a mass meeting every year just prior
TO the convening of the legislature so
that the Representatives and the taX-
payers will be in closer touch. The
writer thinks when the people realize
that their Representatives wish TO as
certain their wants before taking ac-
tion, interest will be increased IN these
annual public meetings.
The Manning times. [volume] (Manning, Clarendon County, S.C.) 1884-current, 1906-12-05

The above data made up of the prop
ertv owned by the parties in one town
ship. It was not a question of how lit
tie the increase would be, none was
wanted and the vote against the prop
osition was about 50 per cent. OF the
attendance, and a number OF these hao
served on the grand juries which
called upon the Senator and Represen-
tatives to secure legislation to build
new court house.
The political opponents of the Sena-
tor were on hand and endeavored to
create the impression that he was try
ING to force a new court house upon
the people, but the fact OF his calling
the people together after the action OF
the grand Jury should show clearly that
the Senator is opposed to an increased
being put upon the people without hrst
obtaining their consent, that while he
personally favors Improvement it IS the
people he represents and not himself,
and therefore did not feel warranted in
creating legislation which would IN
crease the tax without the consent OF
the taxpayers.
Now that the people have expressed
themselves the Representatives can
ignore the grand juries presentnenttss,
until some future time when they will
receive Instructions from those who
have the taxes to pay.
The lien law brought on a wide
ranged discussion, and the sentiment
was unanimous that some action should
be taken tor its repeal, or if this can
not be done 70 secure such legislation
which will better our labor conditions.
Just how this is to be done is problem
attic. but the Representatives under
stand that they are expected by their
constituents to secure some change TOT
the better.
The AGRICULTURAL labor contract sys-
tenn was shown to be so abused that 1t
has encouraged blackmail, and that it
works an injustice to both landlord ana
laborer. It was the judgment OF the
meeting that a law should be enacted
recurring these contracts to be filed or
indexed in the Office OF the clerk OF the
court to put people on notice and pre-
vent the frauds now being perpetrateo
under the present system. -.
The matter of improving our puoHc
highways was discussed freely, ana
there was manifested a broad and llh-
eral spirit in this: it was seen that the
sentiment for good roads is awakened.
The conclusion reached was to request
the Representative TO have levied a
special road tax of one-hali of one mill.
and to raise the Communication tax from
zone dollar to two dollars, and to make a
provision in the special act providing
that the county commissioners be re-
ouired to work the roads by contract.
Notwithstanding the meeting was

George His developments were encourag-
ing. but did not pan out large quantities or
the yellow metal.
A short time since another old\ miner In
hard luck, came past this first miner s
claim, carrying his kit of tools with him
Mr.. Georges friend was naturally lonesome
and invited the stranger to take a ciairl
and after looking over the situation this
stranger decided to do So An evening or
two later the two miners sat on ledge
of rock talking when a badger came into
sight. The miners gave chase, and the
badger ran into a hole on the stranger s
claim.
They went to work with their picks and
soon dug the badger out, and in doing so
they made remarkable discovery. HIS
bed, in the bottom of the hole was made
on a big chunk of the very richest OF gold
ore The gold in the stone on which ne
lay was worth $4,000. In this way they
discovered a rich vein of gold -bea ring
