Statement From the Mayor of
Plum Branch.

Editor Advertiser: Please allow
me little space in your valuable
columns, to explain one little point
that our honorable supervisor touch,
es on in his letter to Don Carlos.
He says, as soon as Mr.. Moultrie
was elected, he came over in our
country with the gang force and
worked the roads and graded the
streets in Plum Branch, so The may
or wrote him and wanted to know
if he could do likewise. Now l want
our honorable supervisor to under
stand, that if Mr.. Moultrie did work
our streets little, he lacked a
whole lot of grading them, and we
paid him we'll for every foot of
work he did in or little town. Yes
I did ask him if he could do little
work in our town, and of course had
the money to pay him for it, but he
refused to do it, and he has also
left our roads unworked. / suppose
the reason he did this was, he
thought we were going into Green
wood county, but if we do, this
will not justify him for not work
ing our roads.
We paid our commutation and
we should have had our roads
worked, but our supervisor worked
up to the line and stopped. Do you
think it will help him out much in
the next election? Do you think a
public officer should % this way, or
don't you think it would have rem
dered him much more popular to
have worked our roads even if we
do go into Greenwood. 1t certainly
would have left a better feeling
with the people in this section for
it seems that he thinks that we are
going into Greenwood, and we can't
support him anymore.
Now he goes on to tell how many
miles of road he has worked. That
sounds big, but have you ever
thought that he began and worked
over the roads that MI. Moultrie
had just gone over. Of course he
could go over roads pretty last that
had just been worked, and were al
ready in good shape. Think of this
well, and see what you think of it.
And now Mr.. Editor, probably
our supervisor thinks Mr.. Moultrie
did wrong by doing a little for us
in our town, but we paid him for
it, and we think he is man of
good Judgment, and a man that has
some feeling for his fellowman, and
wants to do his duty toward them.
Yours truly,
T. E. Miner,
Mayor.

Will Not Enter the Race For
Senate.

While in conversation with The
Advertisers representative a few
days ago, Hon. Thomas FL. Rains
ford stated that he will not stand
forsre-election to the state senate.
He is being urged by his friends
over the state to become a candi-
date for the office of Secretary of
State, but he has not yet decided to
enter the race. 1t is the earnest de-
sire of Mr.. Rainsford's friends
that he continue in public life.
Edgefeld county and South Carroll
ma can i'll afford to have a man of
Mr.. Rainsford's character and
sterling qualities withdraw from
the affairs of state.

''Don Carlos" Replies to Mr..
Wells.
Plum Branch, S. G.

Nj. Editor: You may set this
down as reply to Mr.. Wells. So
far utterly fail to find anything
in his explanation to reply to, l
find a great long perambulating let
ter, but no explanation.
Secession and voting our terrific
ry out of Edgefeld into Greenwood,
has no bearing whatever on the sub
ject matter of road working.
will admit the grading of the
streets by the Supervisor, and fur
ther that he was well paid for it by
the town council. Mr.. Wells picked
up the work where Moultrie left off.
What did he do? Did he continue
the work in the direction that Mr..
Moultrie was working? l am credi-
tably informed that he did not, but
instead of that he works over the
same roads that Moultrie worked,
instead of working the roads in the
west end.
He says that 1 advocated the mar
rowing down of the roads. That is
falfehood out of the whole cloth.
One other statement Mr.. Wells
makes is that / told him before /
did it that I saw my mistake and I
expected to ask Mr.. Sawyer to
change them as his time would al
low. never advocated anything of
that or anything like it. There is a
mistake somewhere. The old boy
Edgefield advertiser. [volume] (Edgefield, S.C.) 1836-current, 1912-01-31

has the wrong OK by the horns.
Tell Mr.. Wells that secession has
nothing to do with his duty TO the
people of the county. Wepaid our
money, and by the powers that be,
we will get it's value back whether
we Say in Edgefeld or go to
Greenwood. Ask Wells if he has
ever been to Plum Branch to see
his kinsfolk since he was elected?

The record OF President Taft's ad-
ministration is n Of splendid achieve
ment.
His administration has broken all
records for prosecutions brought and
won under the Sherman antitrust law.
Without fear or favor 1t has brought
to the bar of justice corporations and
persons engaging in illegal combina-
lions In restraint Of trade. the ulti-
mate purpose OF each combination be-
Ing to create q monopoly and to raise
tho prices On its products. In two
years and eleven months of his ad-
ministration President Taft caused to
be instituted twenty-five civil suits
and forty criminal suits against H.
legal trusts. Roosevelt, in the seven
and . half years Of his presidency,
only instituted forty-four suits against
Illegal combinations.
Under President Taft's administra-
ton the great Sugar trust frauds were
unearthed. resulting in the forced res
titution Of millions OF dollars into the
national treasury. These frauds,
which were based upon the bribery of
customs officials to dishonesty value
imports Of sugar, were In progress
during the last administration, but
were not detected until Taft became
president.
Corporation Tax.
President Taft suggested and Sc
cured the enactment of a law impos-
ing Z tax upon corporations which
adds $50. 00O. 900 annually to the reve-
nues Of the government.
He advocated and approved the law
establishing postal savings banks.
These banks are now the repositories
Of many millions Of dollars and afford
70 people Of small means in remote To-
IN easy and safe method of
accumulating money.
Under his direction there has been
IN investigation Of the excessive and
unfair charges Of the express com
panies and . complete Encouragement
Of rates ordered.
Railroads have been prevented from
putting rate increases into effect with
Dut the approval of the interstate COM
|atIon ri pending an effort vas made
~ cortain trunk lines to increase
rates. A temporary injunction was
obtained by the attorney
yoneral, and by agreement with the
'ai1road presidents they did not put
10 increases into effect but waited
Or the enactment OF the law. They
hen applied to the interstate com
norce commission for permission, I'M
ler tie . law, to make the increase.
Mt their application was denied by

They want to take
charge of the nation.
They want to administer
public affairs.
And they promise wild
ly, eagerly, what they
will do in return if only
they are granted control.
From Maine to Califor-
MIA, their words fill the
air.
And have you, the
workers and taxpayers,
whose affairs these gen.
tlemen would control,
stopped to analyze their
proffers and promises?
You should.
To the politicians
themselves these profters
and promises are of no
special Importance. They
have nothing to lose.
They have everything to
gain. Even if they lose,
they win; for the contest
will keep them in the

wise words of Chairman Hillcs, of the national republican commit
