COUNTY COMMISSIONERS.

The county board of commissioners
held their regular monthly meeting in
the office Of the supervisor on last
Wednesday.
The only business out Of the regular
routine of auditing and paying ac-
counts, was the consideration of pro-
posals from the banks to lend the
county the money authorized by the
general assembly to make up the de-
ficiency in the ordinary revenue.
Supervisor Boyd had seen to it that
all the banks of the county had an op-
portunity to bid on the supplying of
this money, and had proposals from
most of them.
The lowest bid was that Of the Ma
tional Union bank of Rock Hill, which
proposed to lend the county such
amount of money as it may be author
lied to borrow, in such sums as 1t
might want to use the money, at the
rate of per cent per annum, interest
being charged only on such money as
may he in use for the actual time 1t
may be in use. This proposal, the
most advantageous that has ever been
made to the county under similar cir
cumstances, was accepted.
The supervisor has written to the
secretary of state for a certified copy
of the act providing for the refunding
of the bonded Indebtedness of Cataw-
ba, Ebenezer and York townships, and
also for a certified copy Of so much Of
the supply bill as authorizes the bor-
rowing of money to make up the def
cheney in the amount available for
ordinary county purposes; but up to
the time of the meeting Wednesday,
these certified copies had not been re-
ceiVed

lowing to say: Il have been preaching
for nearly fifty-two years and In that
time I have received into the church
nearly 5000 converts. In Georgia at
this time, there are 234 Presbyterian
churches. I have taken part in the
formation and organization Of one
sixth Of them. I am now getting old,
have some land in Fort Mill on which
I can make q living and intend spend
ing the remainder Of my life there,

terest to DR.. Mack's friends in this
section to know that he resigned at
College Park some months ago, but
has been remaining until a new pastor
could be gotten.

March 20, Chief Justice Jones has de-
MED to Governor Blease the privilege
of commissioning or refusing to COM
Mr.. Walter I. Hazard Of the
Georgetown bar as special Judge for
that term. Mr.. Hazard had been sug-
gested for the post to the chief justice
by the Georgetown bar, and Governor
Blease Tuesday said he had added Mr..
Hazard to his list of eligibles; so 1t
may be that the supreme court was
unwilling to recommend Mr.. Hazard
and thus give the governor an opDor-
tunity of commissioning him and then
claiming he did 80, not because he
was the choice of the court, but be-
cause he was satisfactory to the COVER
nor himself. The court has now made
1t doubly clear that 1t does not intend
conceding to the governor any author
ity whatever over the choice OF law
yers for appointment as special judges.
Another ground for a clash between
the executive and the judicial branches
of the state government is furnished.
however, by the recommendation from
the supreme court that Governor
Blease commission as special judge,
for the Florence court convening next
Monday, Mr. F. L. Wilcox Of Florence;
for Mr.. Willcox's name does not appear
on the governors list Of "eligibles' for
such work. Not only was Mr. Wilcox
not mentioned in the original list Of
eligibles, but he was also left off the
supplementary eligible list furnished
to the press by the governor Tuesday
afternoon.

Pope, LII. D., aged 10, who retired
about two years ago from the CHIEF

ent," a friend wrote Tuesday, that the
end is not far ahead" Little has been
said in the press lately concerning the
state of the patients health, though 1t
has been known that his strength was
failing steadily. No one was willing
to risk the shock that the venerable
jurist might receive II an intimation

that hope of his recovery was slight.
There Is no longer any reason for
speaking quietly" however; and Col.
u. r. Brooks, clerk Of the supreme
court, made public Wednesday letter
received from Col. George Johnstone.
in which the writer regretfully admits
his fear that the aged patients days
are wi.
writes: Dear Brooks: We have here
tofore been keeping out Of the papers
all references to Judge Pope's condi-
tion, for the reason that he insisted on
reading them, or having them In way
read to him. He has passed beyond
that stage now, however, and we no
longer see any use in 1t. In fact. 1t Is
now but right that his friends should
be informed. Poor fellow, he is now
permanently in bed, and it Is too ap-
parent that the end Is not far ahead.

more than a short while-I say five to
ten days. The last stages Of the dis
ease have been reached and the doc
tors say that it could be month. but
1t may be at any moment, or In a day
or so. I felt that you would like to
know and perhaps the members Of the
court would like to hear. There is no
longer any reason for speaking quiet

Glover, March 10.-This community
has experienced a scourage Of measles
mumps and la grippe during the past
two months. It Is said that compara-
lively few persons who had previously
escaped the two former ailments have
escaped the present visitation and In
many instances the victims have been
quite sick The doctors, Of course
have had their hands more than full as
there have been as many as 100 per-
sons sick with la grippe at one time.
While the scourge Is not entirely at
an end, still there Is a decided i'm
provement in the situation, and 1t Is
hoped that normal conditions Will
soon be restored.

month ago accompanied Mrs. Smith TO

and that there Is every reason to ex-
pect that Mrs. Smiths health will be
completely restored.

Is 1t possible that the division on the
propriety Of seating Senator Lorimer
can be made along the line Of friend
ship or personal sympathy? So far as
we are concerned, we are not con-
scious Of any feeling Of prejudice. or
bias against the Illinois man. 1t makes
no difference to us whether he be Re-
publican or Democrat; but believing
as we do that 1t has been shown that
there is absolutely no question OF the
fact that many votes were obtained for
him by bribery, we feel that If we
should endorse him, we could endorse
bribery. According to our way OF
looking at the matter, If we should
stand by a friend" guilty Of crime
why then we become a party to the
crime. Loyalty is great virtue, but
there can be no virtue in criminal.

This from a speech recently deliver
ed by Hon. Jonathan Bourne, Jr..
United States senator from Oregon, on
the subject of electing senators by the
people, is a high and correct position:
No man can he elected United States
senator by an uninstructed Legislature
without knowing the individual men,
bers to whom he is primarily obligated
for his election, and, what is still
worse, in many instances, knowing the
political boss, campaign contributor,
or special interest dominating a suffi-
cient number of legislative members to
prevent his election unless hy an
agreement, express or implied, to fa-
vor and protect with national legisla-
ton the dominant interest. Where a
senator is selected by the composite
citizen, either Of his party or the gen.
eral electorate. obligation to any in
dividual is destroyed and in place
thereof substituted the obligation to
the composite citizen, which can only
be paid by rendering the best possible
service for the general welfare"
