The fire alarm that was sounded Saturday from a. building .that could scarcely ha've been pro tected by the fire company should be an alarm for more cisterns.

Tlhis' is a very sad ending of an incident that was .marked writh mudh pleasure. Those Proposed Bonds. Elsewhere in this issue we pub lish a call for a mass meeting of the citizens of Fairfield county to "consider the advisability of the county issuing certain bonds for improvement of the highways with a view to giving employ ment to the people for tile winter months." We also publish an interview with Mr. Elliott, pesi RE STOCK JUCED PRIC.,ES THE RTY DJ1.S 5H ONLY. BOAG. dent of the Winnsboro Bank, by whom the plan was suggested at a meeting of the directors of said bank yesterday morning. The condition that suggests the ad vi:iabilitv of such an issuance of bonds at this time is one of the most critical that ever confronted the people of the county. With out any effort to portray it in all its details, it is enough to say that the cotton crop is at least short of that of any year since the var, and that the corn crop is the shortest in the history of the county so far. as the recollec tion of any living citize'n is con cerned. As short as these staple cropr have been, they were made at possibly the greatest cost of any crop since the war. Then too ili food supplies are higher relatively than they have been in a long while: The. si.tuation briefy stated is'this: ths farmers di the . county -have~ not spids enouglrto -pay their-Abtsia y~~e onewfif.oh merchants havgot been able to realize on the eollaterals held, and will not be able to make all the necessary advances another year on similar collaterals. The purpose for which it is proposed to spend the proceeds of the bonds, ihould they be issued, is-the very best for which public funds can be expended. Time and again have we called attention to the ,importance of improving the public highways of the county. We have also in sisted all the while that this should be effected by a property tax. While our vieW has been to have a tax year by year for this purpose, yet made the circum stances we approve most heartily of the proposed plan, avhich pro vides for a grand forward move ment all at once. Supposing that the proposed plan were put into operation at once, and $100,000 bonds were issuedidt 4 pei- cent, the yearly interest would be $4,000, which would be about'one mill on the' taxable property of the county. By the levy of an additional mill iot only could -2th~e interest he paid, bg the whblgdebt could be liquidated in twenty-five years. What would be the results? In the first place the present olpesed hraiiI- condition woldi teided over in a most effective way by enabling those in he great est need to supply the .in,.s mxost needed and .which eemingly cannot now be had. [E the se.:ond~ place a permanent ad last iug improvement would ,a elf. c:ed the't would mean a saving to ti e people of the county a e'y y r of several thousand .l llars, f .r more thain that would be paid-out yesrly in interest and oa the principatl. So firmly are we convinced'of the nedessity of providing, better roads tbat we believe that the present depres sion would proveQ a 1 leSaing ~ ib dignise should it result in the county taking a decisive step for ward in the improvement of its public 4iighways. We trunst the calliwill meet with a hasty .reaeption, and that all partsof the eduiity will be well represented at the meeting Satur-I days A largely attended meeting1 cani do much to prevent the bar riers of delay that might other wise attend such a movemient, while4 of course, te matter will MASS M A meeting of the peol requested for Saturday, De M., in the Court House at' advisability of :issuing cou the highways with a view the people for the winter n T.
