X4. H. AULL, UCDITOR. A gentleman in Saluda Count told us the other day that lie woul be willing to piy $25 a year for tc years if the road from th'e stel bridge to Newberry were put i such condition that it would 1: good all the year round. Th would necessitate some macadan some gravel and some mixing ( sand and clay. This it seenis to t should arouse our people to the it portance of doing something. Th man does his trading and his bani ing at Newberry and is a large fai mer and his coming here is to th ifiterest of our people because b spends his money with them. W should provide every facility t make it easy for these people i Saluda to come to Newberry. Th Saluda side of Saluda County is good farming section and the fari ers as a rule are prosperous, and i is to the interest of the Newl)err merchants to encourage this trad in every legitimate manner. N better evidence could he given tha we appreciate this business than t make the roads so that it would nc be a burden to come to town. In a trip to Saluda County las week we met a large number c wagons loaded with cotton comin to Newberry to maiket and in th afternoon we met these sam wagons returning home loaded wit] the wares of the merchants of New berry. Good roads would encouragi these people to continue to come t Newberry. We understand that Aldermai Langford who was not prese:t a the meeting of council when it wa decided to lay a brick pavement oi Friend Street from Caldwell to thi depot has protested against th, work being done though the bricl have been put in place and th, work commenced. He is the alder man from Ward 4, in which tHi part of Friend Street is located. This is one of the most frequent ed streets in the city leading direc from the hotels to the depots and %v had hoped the council could pav it like Main Street, and we ius believe our information is incorrec as t) the protest of Alderman Lang ford. The work is being done witl the brick taken up on Main Stree and we cannot understand how an one could object to making a gooi b)rick sidewalk on'this street. Ifi is true, however, council shoul< p)roceed with the wvork regardles of the protest. This is a street tha interests the people of the entir city, and if a good sidewalki needed in any part of the city, thi is the one. We are infornied that childre' tinder ten years of age are permitte to work in our mills in this count contrary to tihe provisions and(i violation of tihe law passedl by th last session of the Legislature. WV trust this is nlot correct, but if it is the porties responsible for it shoul< be made to suffer the p)enalties prc vided in the Act. Certainly it true that there are many chiildre: in all of our mills who otight to 1 at school dutring thle public schoc term. G)enator Latinmer is out west ad vocating government aid for roa, building. Hie propJoses that tih genieral government shall appropri ate $5o0,000,o0o for the publi roads anmd that a like amiouint shia be raised by the States. If this ai ul< be done it would mean a revolutio: in the matter of road iniprovemet, andl would be money well spenlt, bui we h)elieve if we are to have an roadls ini this cotuntry it is not wins to wait on govermnimnt aid, but ~ hiad better go ahead and build thmer ourselves. At least we shiouli make the start. We read in the Charleston News and Courier that eight juiles of road have been built out from New berry Court House, S. C., by the county chain-gaug, at a cost of y $350, and that "for a distance of d three and a half miles the road has been gravelled from six to twelve n inches thick." This is the cheap 3 est road building ever heard of. n Charlotte Observer. e This is correct according to the s statement of the Supervisor. It is a good road, but as we have had of occasion to say before, it needs to s be graded-, and if this had been done it would be a good road. It is a a vast improvement over the road as it was before and only demonstrates that we could have some good roads e in this couuty gt a very small cost e if 'we would. And that it would e not bankrupt the county. D SOUTH CAROLINA NEWS. e Items of More or Less Interest Condensed a In the State. t The body of Lizzie Jackson, y white, an operative in a cotton mill e at Orangeburg, was found in a well a in the factory quarter of that city t on Friday.

The first cost of an article does not necessarily dletermine its cheapness. t For instance, a sack of ''Clifton'' flour may cost you a little more than other so-called patent flours, but it wvill be cheape.r to you in the end. Why? Be: cause it will not only make more bread to the sack, but will take less lard and sodla to make it. Order a sack of "Clif . on" and make a test for yourself. It will prove the truth of this statement6 I T. J. HAYS. A BRILLIANT BVNT. The Beautiful arriage Of Dr. C. D. Weeks and Miss Naicy Pool In The First Bap tist Church Thursday Eyening. Dr. C. D.

The church was beautiful in its h carpeting of white and its decora t tions of garlands of evergreens and white chrysanthemums. The rostrum, lighted by number less candles, was banked with stands of pot plants, over which hung the marriage bell made of V lovely white chrysanthemums, and C to this was fastened a long white C ribbon and the bell, as the bridal f party entered and throughout the A ti whole ceremony, was swayed to and I fro by the bride's lovely little sister, Mary Frances Pool, pirodicing a b most charming effect. The attendants came down the o two aisles undJer small pointed s arches and stood in a semicircle on ir each side. Just in front of the rostrum was a pointed arch and a fronm it was suspended double hearts a 0 of white chrysanthemums, under b which the happy couple was made 9 one.
