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

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. The firm el
ulndertaking it might not find it lij

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

m as a friend and counsellor. ei

ipreme IHuler of the universe, j&
His uneraixg wisdom, plucked

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

I know the house will join me
in the utmost sincerity in the

not,

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.

3r 15tor: In T be News and

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.
