" ne excellent work with a
office, iind in connection with
this and knowing by evidence
obtained that this would be the
«!«ri*iun, and that the committee
in conducting this investigation
had come acr<>ks some evidence
t nding to incriminate other
members of the commission, and
>re ing the sentiment that
they were sorry they did not
have thi.i additional authority, I
offered a resolution that they be
granted this authority, but some
of the members of the Demo-
cistic party go busy and have
been stirring heaven and the
other place trying U1 prevent
thl • being done and even came
to me asking me to withdraw the
resolution which I have refused
t > do and .shall continue to re-
• i <, rind leave the matter in the
h-.i of the hsus^ to dr as thev
f c lit. 1 felt that with these ru-
Imorj and the fact that Mr. Wat
sen would be impeached, it
would create a feeling through-
cut the state that th? rtsi of the
board were not entirely freo
from blame and many laws hav>
been passed to place cure money
:r their nands for on« tiling amj
•u other and addit;o-.al dut;s
1 v. o b <•.. inferred i;pu then*,
dial even if they were absolutely
innocent they ought to be inves-
tigated and whether guilty or
innocent it would do no harm,
for if guilty we certainly do not
wish them left in power to han-
dle the large sums of money en-
trusted to their hands, and if
left as it is I feel sure their use-
fulness to the state has been
greatly impaired.
I am just as good a Democrat
as those who are trying to pre-
vent this investigation and mark
my prediction that some of these
days the state is going to wake
up to the fact that their confi-
dence has been greatly abused
and those in power who at this
time harden to be the Democrat
ic party, is going to suffer to a
far greater extent than they
would if they would take hold
of this matter bravely and clear
th< I:- skirts of the odium that is
i und to i.tiach when the explos-
ion come:-, and it will certainly
I be found that those wrho are now
[trying to shield the party will
be found to have been its worst
enemies.
The past week many laws
have been passed and several
resolutions submitting various
i matters pertaining to our courts
have been submitted to a vote of
the people in line with the reco-
Imendatfon of the Governor, and
several more resolutions are
now before one or other house
along the same line. One of the !
resolutions would do away with
our county courts and leave on-
ly the district court *. this is
contrary t:> what I hoped to see.
ar, I preferred to keep the coun-
ty court* and do away with th«
d: strict courts, but if this is
done it will aavl many thous-
and". of dollars ti the penile.
It may be porsiblc that the
j believe will result in good
the accomplishment* for good of "fable.
the ^"ifth I<egi*laturc will far
over balance the bad. Respect-
fully,

RABBIT HUNT;
WOLF CHASE
A big wolf chase and rabbit
hunt is to be pulled off north-
ast of Granite Tuesday, March
1G, t which all sportsmen are
cordially invited.
It is planned to begin the
drive on the J. N. Olds farm
three miles northeast of town,
and work north to the river.
Coyotes and wolves are causing)
considerable complaint from
their frequent visits to the
farmers' chicken houses and pig
pens, and the rabibts are very
numerous, so that if you are
any good at all" with a gun you
will have an crp^unity to
prove it.
On the last hunt comparitive
ly few jack-rabbits were secur
ed on account of them keeping
ahead of the hunters. Tnis
time it is planned for those liv
ing near the river to make their
drive in a southerly dilution
and met I the hunters from
town and those lfving near
town. In this wny it is expect-
ed that the festive jacks will be
raught beween the two lines
and a larger number of them
put out of their business of de-
stroying melons for the farmers
in that section.
Come out, everybody who can
handle a gun, and a big time
is assured. A number of Man-
gum hunters have promised to
be on hand if the weather per-
mits and all are assured of a
good time.
Granite bunine*M men have
secured this )reat for their
friends and patrons and cor*
dially invite everyone to be on
land.
I Come, everylxnly. Bring
anything you have for sale or
trade. Col. Tharpe, the auc-
tioneer will be here to sell it for
you if desired.
R. C. Moss wants a car of
poultry and is paying the high-
est ccsh price of the season.
Bring the whole family and
let al! enjoy a big time. Read
the advertisements in this is-
sue and take advantage of the
bargains offered. You will save
money by it.

MRS. JAMES HAYS DEAD
Constable A. S. Ross received
a message Monday night stat-
ing that his daughter, Mrs.
James Hays, of Houston, Texas,
was dangerously ill. Mr. and
Mrs. Ross prepared to leave for
that place Tuesday morning, but
early that morning they receiv-
ed another message that she
was dead. They then decided
they would rather remember
their daughter as they had last
seen her in life than to arrive
only after she had been placed
in her coffin,
Mrs. Hays was about 38 years
of age, and is survived by her
husband and seven children, all
of whom were at home at the
time of her death.
She had not been in very good
alth for the past three months
but the family only became
alarmed over her condition Mon
lay and Tuesday morning at 2*
>'clock she passed away. She
wlas well known in Greer county
and has many friends who deep-
ly sympathize with the family
in this, the greatest loss that any
'amily can sustain.

CLUB NOTES
Mrs. Van Dyke was hostess
to the L. S. C. Club on last Fri-
day afternoon. The ladies en-
joyed a sewing contest without
their thimbles. After this a
guessing contest occupied the
remainder of the afternon, uh-
til the hostess served a tempt-
ing two-course luncheon. The
club will meet with Mrs. Tins-
ley on the 12th.
and this will likely be done
some time during the spring.
The entire bunch worked en-
thusiastically, and, while a lit-
tle sore in the muscles, will be
on hand next Wednesday.
The list of workers included
the following:
Dan • Matthewson, B. Bran-
non. B. Willis, G. A. Mitchell,
R. C. Moss, A. M. Jackson, J. E.
Lantz, Chris Huber, Harry

Cox, Will Smith, R.'B. Gooch,
M. G. Lippert, Ge:>rge Benge,f
E. Hester, Fred Abbott,
seem to want to go by where
the work was going on. Final-
ly the workers got out of the
way and the mules consented to
go ahead. As they did so, , the
lady remarked: "They are not
used to seeing this totvn bunch
at work."
Some of the bunch wtere a litJ
tie late in getting out and The
Enterprise is going to tell on
them if it happens too frequent-
ly-
and submit them to the conven-
tion :
