OCONEE TO LOSE CLEMSON ?
"Progrcss" Takss Issue with Voter"
Wanth the Line Changed.

Pendleton, Nov. 27.-Editor Keo-
wee Courier: In reply to Voter"
in your issue Of November cath,
wherein he states that Oconee has as
good roads on the east side of Seneca
river as in any other part of the
county, | can but believe that he
surely has not travelled the roads
leading from Pendleton to the two
iron bridges over Seneca river. The
fact Is, they have not been worked
for two years, while on the west side
of the public road from the Cherry
bridge the road has been well worked
this year from the bridge to Seneca
These facts seem to be the cause of
the citizens on the east side Of the
river wanting to get out OF Oconee.
The Farm and Factory hit the
main cause when they laid the blame
on your County Supervisor and Com
mlssiOners. The people, If granted
vote, Will vote to have this terri
tory transferred to Anderson. They
feel as If Oconee did not want them,
as they are neglected so much and
so long.
The Seneca river would and should
be the dividing line between Ander-
son and Oconee. and the Southern
railway in Pickens county, for Oco-
nee and PiclienS neglect this terri
tory and in places the public roads
are the lines, and the supervisors of
the three counties don't care to in
veStigate and find whether the roads
are I'm their counties or not. If the
river and the Southern railway were
the boundary line Of Anderson coun-
ty, the public roads would be worked
up to the line, and new and graded
roads would be made by Anderson
comfy. This would develop this sec
tion, and ere long we would have
auto rOadways and trolley lines
through this section.
The petition to the Governor was
signed by the best men in this sec
ton, and "Voter" cant say nay. So
heres to the success OF the plan. for
1t means progress for these people.

GruftcrS Have Not suffered.
(Yorkville Enquirer }


1t is not to be denied that there is
cause for much graft. alton in the
success of the dispensary winding-up
commission in wrestling from the
liquor houses that did business with
the State OF South Carolina such a
large aggregate of over-chargcS. but
the situation is not yet satisfactory.
As we see il, the overchargcs collect
ed is merely a payment to the State
OF amounts equal to those already
paid to dishonest officials. The whiS-
key houses had to pay graft to do
business, and they added their graft
on to their regular prices so as to
keep from losing money. They no
doubt also increased their profits by
decreasing the commercial values Of
their wares by means OF water and
otherwise. 1t is not probable that the
windinE-up commission has done any
OF them any injustice. But this does
not touch the fellows who got the
graft--thc trusted agents OF the
State who, while it was their duty to
provide only pure liquors, allowed
their fCllOw-CitiZcnS to be poisoned
with all kinds OF adultcratcd Stuffs.

FAT FEES FOR LAWYERS.
Fielder. Abncr and Stevenson are in
Luck-IyOn Not i'm 1t.
columbia Record }

NSo'uiipio iNSSo'u.'
The attorneys who have been SO
vigorously conducting the prosecu-
ton for the diSpenSary commission
are now beginning to come into their
own, and all of them, except the at
torney general, who works for the
State at $1,000 and pays his own eX-
penses, will come in for some fat
fees.
The commission on Thursday ad-
justed it's obligations to w. f. Ste
venson and b. l.. Abney, and though
neither they nor Chairman Murray
would state the exact amount each
received, Chairman Murray said the
whole amount charged as expense of
the federal court litigation, twenty
odd thousand dollars, would be
turned over to them. Out of this
they must pay their own expenses
and foot the printing bills.
Mr.. Fielder and his Atlanta asso-
ciatcs will get 10 per cent on all
rccOvcrics on open accounts and so
per cent on recOveries in the form of
conscience money and over-iudg-
ments. This will bring the firm
$4,000 for what has been accom-
plishcd so far, and they have a
CIdlCt 1T lO,Dp' more OH lne over
judgments, these amounting to over
500, 900. Their chances on the
100000 depend upon the success
they have in forcing the firms
against which over-judgments have
been rendered to pay up. Already
100000 in restitution money has
been turned over to the State and
100000 is in process Of adjustment.
True, If none Of the claimants ac-
complish anything by appeals to the
Supreme Court and Mr.. Fielder and
his associates are able to recover all
the amounts claimed to be due the
State in excess Of the claims, the
State will be in $443,692.91, but al
most half of this will go in attor-
ney's fees when Mr.. Fielder and as
Sociatcs and Messrs Abney and Ste
venson are paid and the commissions
expenses are met.

Going Into Farming.
Farmers Union Sun. }

The New York Central lines pro-
pose establishing agricultural expert
ment stations of their own at points
nearest the various farming districts,
in order to bring them into closer
contact with the farmers in general
The reason for this Is that the rail
road people are convinced of the
community of interest between the
business OF the roads and the thrift
and prOductivcneSS of the farms
Consequently 1t stands in the inter-
est OF the great railway systems to do
everything in their power to extend
the adoption of the better methods
Of farming.
This Is the third great railway sys-
tem--there may be others OF which
we have not heard-to enter upon
the work Of farm education. The
Pennsylvania Railroad has already
established along its lines model
farms, and the Southern Pacific some
time ago bought several thousand
acres of swampy lands in Louisiana
which IL proposes to drain and con-
vert into farms.
1t really begins to look as though
all the railroads of the country will
go into farming. And why not?
There are thousands OF acres on
either side of the tracks of all the
roads OF the country that might be
protitably used in this way. At pres
cnt they are idle and an eyeSore to
travellers. The roads of this State
might do a good work in the way of
instruction TO farmers living in the
neighborhood Of their lines, and at
the same time reap q handsome profit
themselves from such ventures
