 Physicians of this city today removed the eye of John Tyner, who lives about twelve miles east of here, Tyner and an employe were working in the homestead blacksmith shop last week, try ing to cut a bolt. The bolt was placed in the furnace and heated, then laid upon the anvil, Tyner holding the chisel and his helper striking with the hammer. The bolt was cut in two pieces. and one of them struck Tyner in the right eye, damaging it so that it had to be eremoved.
 At this time there is being more work done on our streets than at any time in the history of Prescott. The county overseer has his teams and scrapers at work in one section of the city and Geo. Hale with a number of teams and scrapers is working another part of the town. It is to be hoped that this work will be kept up until our streets are placed in at least passable con dition. If a layer of gravel could be placed on them it would keep them in a fairly good con. dition for the wet weather which we have in the early part of the year.

THEY ARE NOT INDEPENDENTS.
Minority Voted Straight, Refusing to
Participate i'm Conyention.

Seneca, March 29s-Editor Keowee
Courier: We reproduce here a news
item In The Courier Of Wednesday,
the 27th: i
To-day (Tuesday) the cleo
tion for Mayor and Aldermen (
is on. There are two tickets
the regular ticket, nominated
at the mass meeting held last
Thursday night, and the inde-
pendent ticket. The regular
ticket Is headed by Dr.. w. r.
Doyle, the independent by ]. e.
Sitton. The race is close and
exciting"
1t is evident that the Seneca corr
respondent of The Keowee Courier
has been misinformed as to the
minority's action in regard to the
mass meeting held in Seneca last
week for the nomination Of a Mayor
and Aldermen for the ensuing term
OF 1923. The minority took no
action In this mass meeting or con-
Vention, only to demand fair play for
the minority represented at the meet
ing, viz: asking that the two an
nounced candidates be nominated,
and that the issue be decided at the
polls. On being refused this privi-
lege by motion to table, by one Of
the majority, the said minority (be-
ing composed Of 23 as good citizens
as Seneca has) left the hall in a
body, and without taking further
action In the meeting, met in store
room under the hall and nominated
their candidate (their action being
supported by 81 of Senecas best cit
liens at the polls.) If you call this
independentism, long may 1t exist.
AT no time did the minority expect
to elect Mr.. Sitton, their full poll list
being counted at 43 by the minority
before the day Of election, and their
full strength being known by the
majority.
The action Of the minority in leav-
ing the mass meeting was to break
up this pernicious system of a few
men controlling the votes and poll
tics of the town In so-called con-
vention. The leaders Of the major
ity knew Of every action Of the mi
nority days before the election. The
minority having nothing to hide
would have invited any member OF
the other side to participate in their
actions, and would have gladly well
coined few II IRE staunch ones to
! help break up this pernicious sys
! tenn of allowing few to say how the
whole town will vote.
The minority have done nothing in
| the election to warrant their being
| called Independents, their action be-
| ing to break up the convention sys.
tenn, and to give every announced
candidate a show at the polls.
With good wishes for all and Ill
| feeling for none, and hoping for a
| successful administration for the
, ticket elected we beg to remaini
yours for fair play,
| One Of the Minority
