The Rock Hill .lournai is another enthusiastic advocate of good roads and a property tax as the right and proper method of securing the money. It should add that this would not be a tux in the ordinary sense, but an invest incm inai would pay good dividends to those who would bo called upon to pay it. hi fact they would got all hack each year as it was paid. Wo arc glad the Journal is on the right, side of this question. Keep up the agitation and we will hasten the glad day when we will have good roads and the rural districts made desirable as residence. The .Journal quotes the following from the Atlanta Journal which will hear copying here: Good roads, and it is improvement of the roads which the act is primarily de- j signed to bring ahout, are necessary to the people of a commonwealth as are good houses. If the arteries are the life of the body, its highways are tin life of a State. Remove its means of intercourse with the outside world and any community would become insular m all the manifold meanings of the word. Improve them, ,nd so make material, intellectual and ... ial breadth. Of what use are schools, churches and other institutions which statu! for the symbols of enlightenment if they are not accessible? Good road.; are the cords which bind together i he mental, material and social life of the country side. Without lhem, prosperity Ian g'lishos. advancement halts, and the hardships of primitive conditions make narrow the enviromnenlsof the , .-ople. The increased value of property which they touch; the aecelerat ion of business and trades ol all kinds, the facilities for expansion along all lines these and countless other benefits prove goad roads out weigh any possible plea that might be urged against them.

Several days ago the report was eir- i culated on the streets of Lexington | that E. L. Asbill, one of the State's attorneys and a member of the Lexington bar, had offered to pay $2.00 to M. C. Loriek, a witness for the defense : and a resident of Irmo, if he would say J that be was too sick to come to Lexing-1 tnn + vcouij in nit; case. Mr. Asbill heard the repoit and that it was originated by a brother of Lorielc and Geiger, also of Lexington. Mr. Asbill, accompanied by Mr. T. C. Sturkie, also a member of the Lexington bar and an att >1 ney for the State in this case, and who was a partner of Mr. Muller who died just before the beginning of the trial, went to Irmo two days ago to see Lorick and Geiger and to investigate the report and its origin. Mr. Asbill says he went for the sole purpose of inquiring into the report. Messrs. Asbill and Sturkie saw Lorick and Geiger, who said they had said something about the matter, but thrt they had not circulated this report, that if they had it was incorrect, in the words of t he gentlemen who went to see about, the matter, they "eat their words." Today Geiger ;<nd Lorick c;*me to Lexington and swore out. before Magistrate Jackson a warrant charging Asbill with carrying concealed weapons and Sturkie with trespass after notice ?entering upon the grounds of Lorick or Geiger after warned not to do so. After court adjourned today Messrs. Asbill and Sturkie were arrested and gave bond each in the sum of $'200. .J. K. A. -iiliiertuan! May your a(iditioua o increase.
