are opposed, to the superintendent
of these plants having any authority
to spend money in any amount, or
to buy goods in any amount. He
should be employed to operate the
plants, and some other authority,
more responsible to the people,
should spend the money.
A man may criticise some of the
acts of a good man, or praise some
of the deeds of an incompetent man.
We have nothing to do with whether
Mr.. Anderson is kept in Office or
not. We are only interested in see
ing the plants properly operated,
and the business of the city proper
~ managed. If Mr.. Anderson is
the best man the city may employ
under proper restrictions, to do the
work of the city, he should be re-
tanned; if he is not, he should go.
But we must be understood as OPP
posing the efforts from whatever
quarter to turn the management of
these plants over to either Mr.. An
derson or his friends against the
will and without the advice and
consent of the men who pay the
bills-the taxpayers of the city of
Abbeville. We are opposed to the
kind of legislation by which the
change in the law was accomplished,
and against the acts of the men re-
sponsible for it, whoever they may
be. If Mr.. Anderson was in any
way responsible for the change in
the law or cognizant of what was
going on and sought his own ends
thereby he should be turned out
with the others.

The Daily Journal yesterday af-
ternoon stated that the Mccormick
Mining Company with a capital of
$500, 1000 had been commissioned
with Greenwood men as the owners.
Messrs. Y. and Rufus May and
Frank H. Flynn, who with DR.. F. M.
Routh, are the in]corporators, gave a
detailed statement this morning as
to their plans and the results OF the
prospects thus far. A, sample of the
ore was recently assayed by gov
eminent experts at $3.50 a ton.
The mine is located near Bethia

conclusion. Thursday morning (when
these notes are written) all had been
raised by good pledges to be paid
during the present month-much OF
which is already paid-but $479.
And the joy of it is, the universal
pleasure on the part of these CIV

TO THE VOTERS OF
THE CITY OF ABBEVILLE

In announcing my candidacy for
the Office of Mayor Of Abbeville, 1
respectfully submit to you a few of
the grounds upon which l ask to be
elected.
l: I am opposed to the Act of
the last Session of the Legislature
creating the Commissions of Public
Works for Abbeville. (1) This de-
partment of the City Government
should be under the City Council.
(2) It is creating three more Of
fees with three more salaries to
pay. (3) 1t will amount to an ex-
travagant expenditure of the .peo-
Plies money rather than a saving.
2: I favor the almost total elm
nation of the hauling of sand, and
will advocate the money being used
for pavements and other permanent
improvements.
8: I will not favor the City Coun-
Gil giving contracts for work to any
City employee, which is a violation
of the Statute Law of South Caro-
lima. ,... ~. ~'
4: The City of Abbeville having
teams of its own, I am opposed to
the hiring Of any, except in case Of
emergency, then only to the lowest
sealed bidder. 49,
8: I advocate that . person
elected by the City. Council and
working for the City should devote
his entire time to the duties of said
position and not engage in other
business that would tend to make
his working for the City inefficient.
6: I believe that better service
can be had in each department, by
each of said departments being sep
arate and distinct from the other,
and each having it's own head.
7: 1 do not favor excessive fines,
and only such fines as will punish
the wrong-doer and deter others
from committing a violation of the
law; the fines to be measured by
the ability of the party to pay.
g.. I favor an equitable and ef-
fective administration of the laws
of the City Government, and if
elected will devote a sufficient
amount of my time to look after
the interests of the city.
Respectfully,
J.. MOORE MARS.

At present there is a shaft about
70 feet deep which was sunk by Mr..
Bradley. Thus far the new company
has done only prospecting work, but
they expect to be ready to push the
project theoretically at a very early
date. They are very much encour-
aged over the reports that have been
made on the few specimens of ore
that have been assayed.

public, as it sees it, in giving full
publicity to the changes made in the
laws, and the procedure under
which the changes were made. We
have given the public the benefit of
such matters as have come to our
knowledge in connection with the
management of these plants, and we
have expressed the opinion that the
taxpayers should take over their
own property and manage it. Fur
Their than that this paper does not
care to go and will not go.
/ 1t is ~squarely up to those tax
payers who have an interest in
these matters to take such steps, if
any, as they deem advisable in or
der to protect their W interest.
Men who are most fit to hold these
positions will not offer for them, but
if a hundred taxpayers of the city
of Abbeville present a petition to
three good business lei asking them
to assume the management of these
plants, or ask them otherwise, they
will, as good citizens, undertake the
work. Let US select our officers for
this important work, and not allow
them to select themselves. :,

GET TO VOTE!!

We have called to the attention
qof the voters of the city of Abbeville
the fact that no provision was made
for US to vote in the primary for
three Commissioners of Public
Works. Therefore, it is necessary
that these three men be elected in
the General Election to be held in
the city in the month of April. In
order to vote in that election it is
necessary that the voters be regis
tered in the city. The fact that a
is on the Club Rolls and may

not qualify him for voting in the

Somebody told US this morning
that there should be a doctor. on
this Commission. Why, we wonder?
Some doctor must have started that
report. 1t is not usual for doctors
to fill such positions. At the same
time a doctor is not ineligible,
though a doctor should stick to his
medicine chest, just as a cobbler
should to his last. What we want
is a Commission composed Of the
best business men of the city, &C.
quainted as much as possible with
matters of this character, who will
consent to serve. If this commits
sion needs a doctor they will be able
to find one, just as they wills law
yer if a lawyer is wanted. Any
other proposition comes from an
effort to camoufage the public.

Another matter needs attention
by the taxpayers of Abbeville., If
they are to elect the Commissioners
of Public Works it is necessary that
they agree on the men to hold these
places. In General Elections the
plurality rule governs, which means
that the three men receiving the
highest number of votes in the Gen.
Seral Election for these offices will
be elected. 1t will not do for the
taxpayers to split up over different
tickets. Three men should be Sc
lected in some proper way to make
the race, and those interested in TAX
ing care of the city plants should
be asked to support the ticket.
We have no preference in the
matter of these Commissioners. This
paper has performed its duty to the
