To the people of Greer County
On the 6th of this month, I re-
tired as your County Attorney, to
private life after a number of
years as your public servant.
While serving as County Attor-
ney, I strived to do the best pos-
possible for the enforcement of
law, and to the looking after the
interest of the taxpayer; and
whether I have made you a good
and fathful_servant, that is for you
to say and not me.
In the cases both in the Sup-
reme Court and the Court of
Criminal Appeals of the State, I
earnestly looked after the interest
of the County to the best of my
ability, and feel that in a small
way I have a fair record.
You have said by your votes
that Hon. A. R. Garrett is your
choice to succeed me to this honor-
ed position, and I willingly bow to
the will of tbe majority, and he is
now my County Attorney the same
as yours, and we all have a good
man and a good lawyer, and I ex-
tend to him my best wishes for his
success, and as a citizen will give
him all the help in my power
I now retire to private practice,
and I trust that I have so lived
aa a citizen, lawyer and County
Attorney, that I may share a por-
tion of the legal business in this
county.
I am truly greatful to the peo-
ple of this countv for what they
have done for me during about the
eleven years of my residence here
with you, and shall always |hold
the good people of this county
sacred, and you will always find
me in the highest praise for each
and every one of you.
Respectfully,
H. D. Henry.

We Consider Rev. Cole
a Master Pulpit Orator
Evangelist Cole, assisted by bi
Excellent Singer, is holding a very
successful Revival at the Metho-
dist Church, which closes next
Sunday evening. This writer hap-
pened to attend Wednesday night,
and found out what he had been
missing, and would recomend
that all who have not heard him a-
vail themselves of the fitst oppor-
tunity, for we regard him as one
of the ablest Pulpit orators of the
south. His force, deep-earnestness,
logical-argument, combined with
his pathos, make him a master
that few have excelled.

to be able to say that you wer
fully equal to the occassion. Whik
we have had occassion frequently
to criticise county Attorneys for
neglect of duty and incoinpe ence
and carelessness, in every case that
came before us from your county,
the record showed clearly that the
interests of the State had been
properly protected and in no case
have we been compelled to re-
verse the case upon any ueglect of
duty upon your part. It matters
not how able the judge may be or
liow much the jury may be in fa-
vor of the enforcement ot law, yet
the law cannot be enforced by a
careless and encompetent Attorney
in charge of the State's case.
We are sorry to see you retire
from the position which you have
held so well, and are confident
that you will meet with just recog-
nition as a lawyer.
With best wishes, I am

The demand tor vinsklll*.! I::bar
never was so great In tlx t'nlU'd
State* as It lb at prevent. Th»'r«. is
alno a largo and general demand for
skilled labor In many Important linns.
The cry has gone up from New
York atate and eitends south along
the Atlantic coast, across the south
line of the Union to California, up the
Paclflo coast to Seattle, and back
across the heart of the country from
Kanaaa City to St. Louis, to Chicago,
to Detroit, to Pittsburg.
Everywhere laborers are needed In
the harvests, the forests, the mines,
the factories, the mills; ou the rail-
roads, for the construction of publle
highways and In our great lnduatrlal
centers!
Even within a hundred-mile radlua
of New York olty the call Is no leas
Insistent. Labor agencies cannot sup-
ply the demand there. Contractors
need manual help for aqueducts, tun-
nels, building excavations. There la
work for every man willing to take
pick and shovel and utilize the oppor-
tunity to earn a dally wage whose
minimum is $1.76.
Can anyone doubt that it is this con-
dition of universally employed labor
which is responsible for the high
prices for farm products—prices
which are giving the American fann-
er the greatest degree of prosperity
he has ever known?
And can anyone believe that these
conditions, either as to laborer? or
farmers, would be bettered by a
change in the crtlministratlon at Wash-
ington? Why make a change for the
mere sake of change? "Let sleeping
dogs lie."
A BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION
President Taft Has Given Good
Government to the People. '
From 1882 to 1892 the ordinary ex-
penses of the federal government in-
creased at the rate of about 3 per cent
a year. In the succeeding decennial
period they increased about 4 per
eent a year. Under the presidency of
Mr. Roosevelt the annual increase
was almost 6 per cent. Mr. Taft has
■ot only stopped this annual Increase,
which had so long seemed Inevitable,
but has actually brought about a de-
oreaee. Under Mr. Roosevelt the of-
dlnary annual expenses of the gor-
ernment grew from about $471,000,00#
to $662,000,000, an increase of $191,-
•00,000 in seven years. Mr. Taft has
reduced them from $662,000,000 to
$654,000,000.
We talk a lot about economy In pub-
lic affairs. Isn't it worth while to
stop a moment and give credit to a
president who has actually done what
we have all been saying ought to be
dene?

What Happened.
Ah, if the workingmen of this coun-

been fooled about the protective tar»
Iff working for their benefit. Why,
If the protective terlff was relieved
at a great many points, this Is what
would happen, that American Industry
would take on a new size and speed.—
Prof. Wilson.
Why, certainly that is what woul4
happen—Just as it did the last time
the protective tariff was "relieved."
