C. sday, February 5, - 1902 Chester Lantern nominates J. L. Glenn for lieutenant rnor. And it is not a bad ination either. the present salary bill is ied through without any difications, two officers in this nty-the traasurer and the unty superintendent of educa ion-will have their salary very much cut. According to this bill the salary of the treasurer will be cut to $900 and that of the county superintendent of education to $450. Considering the heav financial responsibili ties of the office, the salary of the treasurer, if anything, is al ready too low, and to -make a further cut in it we deem it wholly unwise and inexpedient. As for the salary of the county superintendent of education that has all the while .been far too low, and to have a cut in it at this time is to say the least of it not an evidence of educational progress. The Good Roads Convention to be held in Charleston this week will be the climax in the series of road conventions that have been held in this State within the past few months. At least one good result should come from these meetings-viz., the organization of gool roads as sociations in all the counties in the State. We trust that such an organization will soon be per fected in Fairfield county. We most heartily approve the sug gestion as made by Victor and amended by Mr. Johnston. Let us have the association and that at an early day. Who will pro seed to call the people together so as to orga e? We call upon -#..A _" Vi t _&~~U off i ig pushed willie From time to clipped shE rt statements as the value of the poultry produecd of this country urging that this. section should pay more attention te this big industry seemingly so small hereabouts. In this con nection we make mention of a concrete instance, that comes I within our own knowledge. A few days ago we were at Spring field in Orangeburg county and ~ while there that day about one hundred chickens and a number of other fowls and many dozens of eggs were brought in. These ~ were all bought by one firm, P2 which gives the farmers a high1 market value for all county pro duce, especially poultry. This. poultry is either shipped or sold ' to peddling wagons which buy a for the Aiken and Augusta mar- I kets. The poultry business of p this firm amounts to many hun- I dred dollars every year, and a through their practice of giving o? a good market price for the same they have practically built up an industry that is proving profits- ts ble to all the surrounding county. h Such a firm is needed ii every T town, and for the benefit of our is section, we should like yery p much to see the matter t Lken up h< bysome one hierei.

Kodo1l I yspepsia ('ure; o Tribute to Former Colleague. Since the short first pice on the first page was set up, we have been favored with a copy of the house journal, giving Mr. John son's tribute to his former col league in full, which we take pleasure in presenting to our readers. It was as follows: Mr. Speaker: In asking the ad poted of the resolution I shall confind my remarks mainly to the life and character of my deceased colleague, the Honorable E. B. Ragsdale, as I never had the pleasure of meeting the other deceased members, and knew them only by reputation as ear nest, zealous and valuable mem bers of the General Assembly. Mr. Ragsdale was born in 1856, and reared in the County of Fair field. He received his early educational training in the com mon schools of his native County, and afterwards entered Uni versity, where he continued the prosecution o:! his studies. Subse quently he studied law under that great jurist, Samuel W. Melton, and was admitted to the bar in 1882, where he continued the practice of his professian until death ended his shoi t but brilliant career. As a lawyer he accom plished his purpose and his duty to his clients by no indirect methods, but went boldly and fearlessly up to his work, strong in his convictions of right, and absolutely fearless of the con sequences to himself. His inflexi ble honesty and devotion to duty marked every step in his private and public life. In 1898 he was elected 'to a seat in the House of Represen tativer by almost the unanimous vote of his County. A knowledge of his ability as a lawyer and his exalted character as a citizen had preceded him to the House, and lie was at once reconized when he entered this body as a man ably qualified to discharge the arduous duties of the high office to which he had been elected. He- was sworn in as a member in January, 1899, and day by day he sat by my side with' visible signs of suffering, and struggling with the fatal disease that had even then ploughed its furrows upon his pale and wasted cheeks. During his service here he took an active 'I'y of t ice easily p ery part of this chamber, %ould never fail to make $id impression upon his His arguments at the bar, and n this hall, were always clear, ouvincing, and powerful. At the I ar he was a courteous lawyer, 9 ailly imbued with thbe nobsilitir of C he profession, and he n'eve. >wered it to the standard of' 1 2aking of his professing't ' n article of trade and" bier. ! oon after his admnision to' the n ar, his great ability became t nlown, and by untiring eneigy d nd honess devotion to duty bie r laced himself upon the ladder of e tone, side by side with the great 0 twyers of the State. He was re-elected to this Housea i11900, but was never sworn in jA s a member, on account of that Ltal disease, but continued to 0 ine away, and in the town of Finnsboro he breathed his last, ad his body now sleeps in the d church yard beneath the oaks a century's growth. i In his death I feel that 1 sus ~in a great personal loss. I miss si m as a friend and counsellor. ei he highest eulogy I can pay him ta to state th'at in privato and h< iblic life I found him to be ei >nest and faithful in the dis- al mnrge of every duitye Ha<4 his w e been spared, with his great fa gal attainments and spotless a iaracter. what a brilliant career had before him! But the ipreme IHuler of the universe, j& His uneraixg wisdom, plucked e flower in its early bloom, and a noble and beautiful life has faa en cut short in the hour of its premie usefulness. K We thaik God that there rests Cc on the three deceas d mnembhers via d the efficient Assistant Clerk ot staini of disionor, but it is a wi lendid hope that the grandest hi4 ality of the human soul connot di< lost in the transition from le s life of death to the deathless -- . soi Greater than the afection tiT ich prompts us to devote this da: ur to an expression of eulogy th4 the departed members and ha Clerk, whose honest voices stilled in the soft night-time Eu the grave, is the duty upon us I o pause in this solemn instant.) Mr I contemplate the brevity of bid , and that we too are speedling ] bhe sunset hour, when earthly tha >e and earthly life are envel- h I know the house will join me in the utmost sincerity in the beautiful thoughts expressed in -the poem of Montgomery: "Time grows not old with length of years, Change he brings, but changes not, New born each moment he ap pears. We run our race and are forgot. "Spring flowers renew their glad' perfume, But ere a second spring they fly. Our life is longer than their bloom; Our bloom is sweeter, yet we die." MR. J. P. THOMAS, JR,, seconded the resolution. On occagions of this kind, said he, it was eminently proper that we shouldipause in the delibera tson of our daily routine; pause in the midst of our legislative duties; pause in the duties of life, and not only give expression to our appreciation of those who have lived and labored among us, but we should pause to contem plate the briefness and uncer tainty of life and the immensity of eternity. He desired in an humble wa to lay a wreath on the- grav ~ the decesed member from 11 field. When we pay a tribute to the memory of a worthy man we pay a tribute to worth itself. In applying to him the highest words of praise I pay his memory no idle clompliment. He was a man who realized loftiness of character.. Inde dence of character, courtesy . bearing, marked him as a From my intimate assoc.i with him in the practice of I feel that I render simple j to his memory when I say in all those traits that go to up- the high-toned lawyer an nlvman he was preemint.

O Two Suggestions Seconded. 3r 15tor: In T be News and Herali of Jan. 22nd I notice a communication signed Victor suggesting a good roads associa tion be organivt'd in township No. 14. I woubl suggest the as sociation embrace all the town *hips adjoining No. 14 and that steps be taken at once by Victor to organize the . association. I think the time not only oppor tune for discussion of the subjects of road improvement but for action also. That the condition of our pub lic roads is not in keeping with the intelligence and progress of our county in other ways, I think no one will denY. As to methods for working and mateaial to be used I make no suggestions, as that question would naturally" be raised and discussed after we organized. Now, Mr. Editor, I insist that this all important matter of road improvement not be aliowed to come to naught without special efforts being made to accomplish it.

The paizes have not been won only by outside cattle, for the La~range Stock Farm, represented by Mr. John G.
