It is a pleasure to chronicle the evet that heads this sketch. Ten years a$ The State first came before the crit cal eye of modern journalism; seel iug existence. That it lias existed, is matter of State pride. Started upr a conservative, and rightious bosi which it has ulwayB maintained, i rapid popularity and growth canni be wondered at. To be congratulate is its accomplished editor and hia coc potent assistants. Its usefulIneps lias been, and contii ues to 1 a, far reaching. Ever reail to coniuieud the right iwid condeui the wrong, though its judgement fr upon those in high places still it hi been fearless, uiipurthable, maintai iug that standard with which it fin introduced itself to the world. It hi no peer and ftw equals in journalism Long tuny it prosper aiul continue i its wake of usefulness. A Valentine l*aity.

The weather has been fiikle, but low it is One. lloads\\tr? fond, but. lave improved. No sickness and no special news. Our community seems to be unable t< $et up a m nisge. When anything like that takes place we shall let the public know. Would it not be a good time now to tell what I've been thin'iiug about fur along time? It'snbout public roads. I do honestly wonder why there are so many water breaks in tlie souds. 1 like terraces, but the place for them is in ynids aud field'| not in the roads. 'Tis not so bad fur wagons and log carts to go over water-breaks, but it is hard on a buggy, and harder on travellers. Sometimes I think if road overseers had to travel moro they would l)fl"j?h water-til eaks. Some counties do not allow them at all. Once, coming from Newberry, on a rainy day, the roads were Lad enough; but on down grades the horse could trot a little?there were no waterbreaks, As soon as I *truc|i Stludn county, instead of mud as the only hindrance there was one of those lute, ful things every hundred varils or thereabouts. It is so. Why it is so, I can not tell. It ought to bo otherwise. That I know, f'aluda county is one of progre-s, gold, grit and intelligrnce; why can she not be ope of good rojids? She held a good read mass-meeting last fall, and discussed ways and means by which we can have good roads. It was a step In the right direction. A ueai was sniu nbiuit road tax ami convicts. The Legislature's approprin-' tions will tax thy cQrp-huving larrner enough, and while we wail for pon icts the roads need attention?tlie special attention of Supervisor and overseers, and the general attention of all well citizens. Too many people art exempt anyway. A Ofty?year?old raaa is young in this age of skilled physicians and patent medicines. Why should he not he caked to work 'till he issix'y? Thtre are others also, A citizen, mar here, did a good thing when he had a mud-hole in the public road, which had been n uenace, ditched into and drained the other dpy, Could not more people along the highways lo the same? To do that, and to pick jp a rock occasionall)?how touch food it would do! I'm in fav< r of .onvicts working roads in the county roru which they were '-sent up.''
