FROM ANDREWS.
News, Opinions and Political
Views of Correspondent.

! Andrews, August l;-YOur scribe
attended the State campaign meeting
in Georgetown last Wednesday, Ju-
| ly q and listened to the presentment
bv each candidate of his claims to the
Office to which he aspired. 1t seems
that the great question. whiskey. is
about the greatest political issue
still.
Now, Mr. Editor, right here | differ
with the most of our people.
don't think that whiskey and its
evils should ever be made political
issue. This is a moral question and
should be settled outside of politics.
Quite crowd of hands, under the
supervision of Mr. Ford, civil en-
gineer, has been doing some niue
needed grading and ditching in this
part of town the past week.
Mr. E w Hendisee, formerly of
this town but now of Marion, is
spending a few days with friends
and relatives in town.
A lively crowd of young people
took trip Sunday over to Black
Mingo in automobiles and report
having pleasant time.
Quite lot of people from here
attended the speaking of the State
candidates at the county seat last
Friday and all who heard the candi-
dates for Governor are loud in their
praise of Hon T G Mcleod as Gov
ecnor. The writer did not attend,
being sick.
1t is just as essential that the
voters should know the issues of
candidates for the Legislature as to
know those of Road Engineers.
Now, in short, these are the writer's.
All public improvement must and
can only come from taxation. Now.
at present. our people who do pay
taxes are carrying all the tax bur-
den they can, but enact a law to
catch the tax dodger; get all prop
erty on the tax books and make all
securities taxable and there will be
Just double the revenue raised and
no one hurt. This must be done and
done now to redeem our State and
county; then when this tax law has
been adjusted, watch the improve
ment. We are collecting taxes from
about one-fourth of the taxable
property of the State. The writer
has been a member of the county
equalizing board for 10 or IL years
and is now thoroughly convinced as
to the condition of taxation. The
law can be changed. Make law
when those linen collar fellows swear
TO false statements in listing their
property, let the courts of our coun-
ty put stripes on those tax dodgers.
You will in a few years see the tax
able valuation just three times what
it is now. Brother taxpayer, | am
with you; my motto is to fight the
tax dodger. SUBSCRIBER.

RECORDS GOOD ROADS PARTY
Well Pleased with Reception
Given Them at klnaStree.

kingstree July 2S:-No county of
the sixteen so far visited bv The
Records Good Roads campaign par
ty has responded more heartily to
the call for good roads or displayed
more genuine interest than Williams
burg county did at the gathering
here to-day.
In spite of the fact that farmers
are almost desperately busy working
their crops and that tomorrow the
big guns of the State political cam
paign open fire here, the attendance
was almost as gratifying as the
commendable spirit which character
ICES those citizens Of Williamsburg
whom We have met.
One of the pleasantest features OF
the meeting was the presence OF a
goodly number of young ladies who
are attending the summer school IN
session here They occupied seats
within the railing and Mr. Winslow
in opening his speech remarked that
it was the first time he had ever
faced jury of women and the SEN
! timent that the day was approach
ing when women would be granted
the rights they are claiming aroused
them to much applause.
The success of the effort to stimu-
late the subject of good roads was
due largely to the earnest and effec-
tive efforts Of Capt j A Kelley, the
representative from this county on
the executive committee of the
Good Roads and Drainage league;
Editor C w Wolfe, of The County
Record, and Mr. J J Graham, county
road engineer, as the supervisor is
called here. He is live wire and the
hot sands don't burn the bottom of
his feet. Capt Kelley presided.
Congressman Ellerbe, who is here
to attend the political campaign
meeting tomorrow, was present and
was called upon for speech. He re-
sponded with forceful and ringing
call upon the people to realize the
necessity fer good roads and stir
themselves into activity to secure
them.
MIR Ellerbe said, in the beginning.
that he wanted to express in the
strongest possible terms his unquali-
fed approval of The Records cam
paign and that the paper by this
work had placed the people of South
Carolina under lasting obligations to
it. Several times he stirred his au-
dience to cheers. He did not vary
in one wOrd from the subject of
good roads.
Mr. Winslow being confronted by
a responsive audience was in fine
form. He deserved the intense in
terest given him and the compliment
airy testimony to his ability and use
fulness uttered by Mr. Ellerbe.
At the close of the meeting Capt
Kelley as executive committeeman
for Williamsburg urged an organiza-
ton for good roads. A temporary
organization was made by the elec-
ton Of Capt Kelley as president, Mr.
J F Cooper as vice-president and 4 C
Kinds. ESQ, as secretary and treas
urer. They will confer and appoint
all necessary committees and pro-
ceed to general permanent county
organization.
A resolution presented bySolicitor
Stoll was adopted which expressed
the appreciation of the meeting of
the work being done by The Record
in the cause of good roads and their
thanks for the presence of the party

Jerry and his team mate were bought
by the company. the price paid being
$500. They made the rounds together
until 1899, when the mate died. Jerry
was put between the shafts of single

simply because he would not work
double. He never forgot his team
mate.
Jerry became the pet Of the Office

Now this was not to Jerry's liking. He
had been wronged and he knew it. He
set his slant heels to work, making
room rapidly. He was ready for the
big posts when the barn men led him

Jerry was punctual. When the sew
en- o'clock whistle blew, he left his
comfortable stall and calmly walked
upstairs to his wagon, backed between
the thills and waited to be harnessed.
He was willing to work, but he was as
willing to quit. Promptly at six
