If the fair ii success, it will reflect deci, credit upon the county. ThiE will be, if all will tbaho the pro interest in it. Every towns should have a township exhi Every farmer should exhibit something from his farm. other industries should also well represented. The woi also should make it artistic their handwork. Let all b< early so that the fair may mnde a crowning success. The object of the Fair Agricultural Society is to mote the industrial developE f irfield County. Its mem for farmers onl inere ouiare interested adollrs wort] mnthe development of your county you will give good evidence a the same by joining this society Your assistance is greatly neede< and an early and tangible expres sion of the same will be greatl: appreciated by those in charge In a neighboring county th< county practice was advertised t< be let to the lowest bidder. In stead of bids came a protest fron all the physiciars on the groun< that such bidding was unprofes slonal In this way the commis sioners were severely rebuked fo the low valuation they had place< upon the human body. Building and other work may be let to the lowest bidders, but when it come; to the care of the physical ma: the very best talent should b< had as far as possible. Some ma: ignorantly condemn this profes sionalism of the medical pro fession, but were it not for it w would have to depend wholl; upon quacks in cases of sickness Tbis professional spirit is neces sary to protect mutually the pub lic and the profession. This i true not only of the medical pro fession but of all other profession as well. Especially is this tru of teaching, if this now semi-pro fession can be classed in th category of professions where i belongs at the head. Teacher are oftentimes so forgetful of a] others but self-and of self too as to offer to accept schools at less price th.n the present in cumbent or other applicants Trustees also in electing thei teachers often select the cheapes applicant. Such unprofessional ism contributes largely to th continuing rule of ignorance an inefficiency of service. Ex-Governor Bob Taylor lec tured at Rock Hill March th 19th and it was our pleasure t< attend the lecture. To hear hin is to be convinced of the exaltet place he holds among platforn speakers. But throughout the whole of his inimitable lecture we could not keep away th< thought of what a rich treat the people of Rock Hill were enjoy ing. Nor could we refrain fron the thought of the rich benedic a lyceum course of lectures from the masters on the platform. What was our neighbor's good fortune in this instance could bE the blessing of many other towni in South Carolina which ar abundantly able to enjoy suel opportunities. The principal dif ference between those towns tha take advantage of these riel treats and those that do not i principally in public-spiritednes -that is progressiveness. Thi limitation is not confined to finan cial matters alone, but extends t 1 the broader realms of wealth i thought and action. Id The greatest educational tres d of the present is in the lyceu course. There are lecturers upo Ts the platform whose visits to rs town are a lasting benediction fC S- the intellectual inspiration givei tY They are worth every cent the cost, the investment paying i ever-recurring dividends of qui. or ered thought, nobler action, at r happier living. X5 Public lectures are also an ii he dispensable part of the publi ot education. They are too an i ge. dex to the education of the pul e. lic. No higher tribute can 1 x paid to a town's intellectuali ill than to say it has a course es- public lectures. The larger tow All may have these at less cost a the more frequently than the small an- ones, but all may have them. er- four hundred members of a lycet ed. in a city can enjoy eight lectur in a year at twenty-five. cer be each, two hundred members hat smaller towns may have four the fifty cents each, and by w g a management oftentimes at l led cost. it It is said that a town has to r educated up to lectures. This p only another way bf saying t1 bit. the lecture represents the vr of highest educational ideals. Il [he also an offset to the pretend be poverty of towns not too poor nen participate in public leotur b The increase of lyceums in t -9M State is one of the evidences t be South Cai-olina is being dra into the great educational curr of public lectures and public ield braries. pro ient GOOD ROADS. ber- -- but Mr. Editor. Good roads mand rimarily the two co -ight grades and apr Fis not (jt"?nai inorance of the men -who origi nally laid them out. Under the Fconditions existing at the time they were first used, the routes Iadopted were probably the best -attainable. Scarcity of labor and Sa local traffic much less t han pre vails at p resent led to the adop tion oft tat route which could be Sutilized at the least possible ex Spenditure of work; hence in cross -ing a hill it was necessary, first Sof all, to secure a roadway trans Iversely level by nature. This, in - nearly all cases required the as . cent of the hill in its steepest r part, as observation will easily jshow. I do not mean to imply that the ridges were crossed at their highest elevations. Gaps Swere generally made use of, but in approaching the summit of the gap, the shortest, and therefore the steepest, course was followed, . because that direction is the only . one giving a transversely level i road- d without, excavating the -upper side of the road. .As long as these old routes are .followed it is idle to talk of good . roads. A road with a grade of thirty .degrees, even if laid in -asphalt, is a bad road. Until we decide to employ intelligent su pervision in the selection of the fittest routes, we will be wasting valuable labor in smoothing down toboggan slides. SA small experience in this line and a careful observation in my rides through the county have convinced me that roads with tolerably easy grades may in nearly all cases be obtained over or around our hills, and fre quently with no increase in length. -Occasionally the distance would be shortened. jExperience on a limited scale has also shown that these new road-bed can (generally) be put in shape with less work than is required to repair the old roads for which they have been substi tuted. IThe greatest objection urged to the adoption of these new routes is the extravagant prices de manded by the owners of the lands through which they pass. Against this objection I will cite some actual facts. On the much discussed road from Winnsboro to Simpson's store-the old Canm " some of these of selectedilength, through the consider or eight different lands of was, if I remember owners, t, more than one correctlyAr the privilege, and charge maoderate one.
