Third Week of Court.
G. l.. TOOLE.

When The Advertiser went to
press last week the court was en-
ga~ad with the suit of Mrs. Lucy V.
Glover against the Georgia Carolina
Power for damages in the sum of
s6,40O alleged to have resulted to
her farm through the impounded
walor. AS the jury could not agree
upon a verdict the court ordered a
mistrial.
When court convened Monday
another damage suit was entered,
being that of Mr.. J. A. Thurmond
against the Georsia-Carolina Power
Company. He alleges that he has
been damaged because the sanitary
or health conditions surrounding his
farm have been impaired by the i'm
pounding of the water by the dam
constructed across the river by the
defendant company. The testimony
in the case has been completed and
today the jury will be carried in
automobiles by the sheriff to view
the property. This case, like all of
the preceding suits Of a similar
nature. has able counsel OH both
sides. The plaintiff is represented
! by Hon. J. VIM. Thnrmond and
! Hon. B. E. Nicholson and the de-
fendant company by Sheppard Bros,
Wright and Wright of Augusta and
Elliott and Herbert of Columbia.
The verdict of the jury is eagerly
awaited.

was one of pleasure and profit.
The next meeting of the third
division will take place at Plum
Branch next April.

An Open Letter To Congressman
James F. Byrnes.

Dear Sir:
The Liberty Bond campaign is
now over. On reading the many
newspaper reports, to my and many
others surprise, your speeches were
largely devoted to an effort to bolster
up your record and positions in
Congress.
But since You have seen fit to d.
so, | now feel fully at liberty to
write you this public letter in justice
to the people and enter into the
discussion OF a few matters OF
general interest.
In the many places l visited and
made speeches in the interest of
Liberty Bonds, | confined my re-
marks solely to the cause of our.
country's peril.
You are serving your fourth term
in Congress-, and have not volunteer
ed. l conclude that you will ask
for a fifth.
Are you willing TO stand for
reelection on your whole record in
Congress?
H.-Why did YOU vote to lease
(which aspractically sale) certain
coal lands in Montana to the
Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul
Railway Company when Mr.. Hill
lard, of Colorado, was begging you
and others to keep and lease to small
cities and towns to prevent the
women and little children of our
country from freezing?
III.-Why did you vote for an
Income Tax Law, whereby you i'm
posed tax on all citizens, leaving
YOUR salary of $4,000 per year
exempt from the tax? and if not,
what did you do against it?
IV.-You could have asked the
people, by rising vote, if they
would have refused to vote with the
President in his request to turn on
the light, as Mr.. Borland, of
Missouri, wanted you to do, when
be introduced this amendment on the
Civil Sundry Bill calling for an
investigation in the HIGH COST
OF LIVING. and MANIPULA-
TiON of FOOD-STUFFS by the
SPECTATORS when the beef
trust and the Milling Interests in the
Country placed an exorbitant price
on the necessaries of life? WHY
DID YOU VOTE AGAINST THIS
INVESTIGATION?
V. Did you request aid or en-
courage Congressman Claak to dis
tribute at the expense of the govern
ment his anti-draft speeches in this
district?
VI Why did you not ask the
people for rising vote if you did
right in making a vicious speech
against the DRAFT Law calling
it, in your own words: :the most
infamous proposition ever submitted
to an American Congress-" And
then. did you in a few days there
after vote for it? 1t strikes me that
you should have been fair enough
to have asked them that.
, These are few of the questions
which l defire for you to- answer iii
public to the people. hereby ask
you TO meet me in open, friendly
and high toned debate, between now
and the assembling of Congress in
December, as after that time you
may be engaged and not able to
come before them. You can name
dates and places.
Respectfully,
G. l.. TOOLE.
