The proposition to move THE

to you by me and l still believe
that if you had taken hold of the
proposition it could have been
successfully carried out.
AS to the new county, it was
simply first talk" and but few
seemed to take the matter seri-
ously.
You did not commit yourself
to me on the new county ques-

see that you are inconsistant in

Mr. G. w Wolfe,
Kingstree, S G..

Dear Sir: reply to your IA
vor of the 9Th inst relative to a
certain statement in the "Rut-
ledge County News" dated
Augusta, 1909, l beg to say,
that, if a proposition came to the
Legislative delegation in Colum-
bia winter before last to bond
Williamsburg county for a swell
court house, | was not apprised
of the fact. If there was such
a proposition, the House mem
bers of the delegation may know
of it; l do not. The only matter
in connection with the public
buildings of the county that /
now recall as having received
any attention at that time, was
the crowded condition and poor
equipments of some of the Of
fees. Some suggestions were
discussed by the delegation as
to the necessity for larger quar-
'ters and more suitable furniture
for certain officers, especially the
clerk; and the manner in which

The following correspondence
explains itself:
Kingstree, S C, August 4.
DR. H L Baker,
Lambert, S C.
Dear Doctor: Certain parties
at Lake City, l am informed,
hoping to discredit me and my
newspaper, have revived that
old canard that l tried to move
The Record to Lake City to boost
the new county, but that my
proposition was turned down,
and that is my motive for oppos-
ing the movement.
Now, Doctor, l don't know
your present attitude on the new
county question, nor does that
affect the case. l said more to
you and w S Moore about that
matter than to any one else in
Lake City. Mr. Moore's lips are
silent, but am thankful that
you are still alive and too honest
and honorable to see me misrep-
resented after any such fashion.
You will recall that l answered
this same charge in The Record
more than a year ago, but un-
fortunately people have short
memories.
Now l ask you:
Did I propose to move The
Record to Lake City, or was the
proposition made to me?
Had pushed the matter do
you think it probable that my
terms would have been complied
with?
Was the new county project
then (winter of 1907 more than
a vague, indefinite possibility?
In your opinion, would any
thing l said or did at the time
referred to commit me against
the stand | am now taking?
Thanking you beforehand for
your early attention, l remain.
Yours very sincerely,
CIV WOLFE.

THE PROOF OF The PUDDlKG.'
Read This Testimony Of a DiSintereSt'
ed Witness.

Editor County Record
Having noted with interest the
strenuous fight you are making
against the attempted division
of old Williamsburg and noticing
also that Calhoun county has
been referred to by both parties
to the controversy, it has occur
red to me that perhaps some of
your readers might be interested
in an extract from a letter recent
ly received from a lady friend of
mine who lives in Calhoun coun-
ty, one of the new counties. In
referring to her business affairs,
with which am somewhat con-
nected, she says:
81 am in trouble about my liv-
ing. / have spent S-dollars
of the principal of my little CAPT.
tai and did not have money
enough to pay my insurance, had
to borrow some money to pay 1t.
The ta1es on my little home and street
tnres are over double since tce are IN
the nep county. / worry so about
being out of dear old Orangeburg
county. | would certainly leave
here if could.
The above is onlya part of her
enormous taxes" since the new
county was established, which it
seems is likely to interfere with
the provision she has made in
her will for her living, and shows
how she feels the burden of new
county expenses. Of course, she
would be not much better off in
the old county now. Expenses
there are nearly doubled also, as
it takes twice the amount to run
two counties that it does to run
one; but the new counties are at
the additional expense of build
ing and equipping jails, court
houses, offices, etc., and there is
where the lover double" taxes
come in.
With best wishes to all,
Yours sincerely,
JE MAHAFFEY.

the necessity could be best sup
piled, whether by improving the
offices as they teen stood or by
annexing a - n or two to the
court housS Or by a separate
building of one or two rooms,
was spoken Of. Mr. Kellahan, l
think, was the first to voice his
objection, and went on to say
that it would be unfair to the
people of the proposed new coun-
ty to make improvements at that
time for which these people would
have to help pay but from which
they would derive no benefit, in
case the new county be formed.
Mr. Bryan concurred in these
views of Mr. Kellahan. But lit
tie more was said, and this end
ed the matter so far as l recall.
I hope the above gives the in
formation you desire.

From late figures the hope of recov-
cry under the new emollient treatment
seems to be about as follows:
In people OF sixty and over results
are quite uniform. probably nine
tenths recovering. While at fifty and
over a large majority of all cases yield
to the treatment. below fifty and ap-,
preaching forty the disease gets more
stubborn. and between thirty and
forty the percentage Is not high
probably not much over half yielding.
Under thirty the percentage Is less

very few and most OF those were OBJ
