WINNSBORO, S. C.
Wednesday. July 16, - - 1902
The town of Sainda and the
county of Oconee have each lately
bought a complete road machine
outfit. The town or county that
goes in for good roads is laying
well for its future. Such an in
vestment is the best that can be
made with public money except
for public schools, and the latter
investment is made far more effec
tive where the roads are good.
The railroads are deserving of
great credit for what they are
doing for the promotion of the
industries of this State. Just at
this time the Atlantic Coast Line
comes in for special praise for
what it is doing for strawberry
culture in the Pedee section. Its
industrial agent is to visit a
number of farms in that section
this summer and give instruction
as to The best methods of grow
ing strawberries for market.
"Yes, you can put me down for
a page ad. in the premium list"
said one of Winnsboro's most
progressive merchants to the
committee soliciting the same.
And then he added: "I want to see
the fair a great success, and the
best things at it preserved for a
place in the South Carolina ex
hibit at the St. Louis exposition."
He also suggested that it would
be a good plan for parties having
land in Fairfield county to sell to
have plats and descriptions made
of same and placed on exhibition
at fairs and expositions. Two
good suggestions these that ought
not to be overlooked.
"Heap of trouble for nothing
is this of providing for a prim-ry
vote on the enlargement of the
court house" said a leading far
mer of the county to us Saturday.
The work is badly needed, and
our legislators should take the
necessary steps without having
this Tote." This is all true, but
DOW that the people have been
asked to express their opinion at
-.t-'rbllot box on this important
point we hope that it will be
utranimously in favor of the pro
posed improvement. Tbe com
mittee to whom has been referred
the whole matter should act
promptly so that the people'rnay
be given such information as
would enable them to vote in
telligently on the matter.
The indications day by day are
that Mr. Hemphill is the grow
ing man in the race for the senate.
His speeches everywhere seem to
have been well received. Many
of those who had been saying
that he would not be a factor in
the race are beginning to open
their eyes. His ability is being
largely recognized, and a lots of
that political clap-trap (deviltry
would be a better word) about his
having .not b)een a residlent of the
State during the past fewv years
is being exploded, for sensible
people know whatt constitutes
citizenship. Certain it is that
hisexperience in 'Washington has
given him an acquaintance with
public affairs, national and inter
national, that fits him with all of
his other attainments for mn kinig
t he State a repr esenitative in the
upper branch of the natiom2;1
congress that the Palmetto State
would be proud of.
*If there is anything di.-gustiing
ta) us, it is seeing a 'aidid ti
trying to iide into o:li -Kb.c
ing his opponent wo
absolutely knows to be uc :
For instance here co' s
Martin, caudidate f'r the i
office of State superi ! e'
education, an office that J!on
be sought on the mn-rits of t.'
applicant and niot the d meritso
any one else, with the chja(
against Mr. McMahman that he is.
responsible for the wholosale
change of books made t'wo years
ago. Nowv Mr. Martin knows as
well as any one else that Mr. Mc
Mahan is not responsible one
whit for the chiange; that he and
the other mnembems of the State
board of education only carried
out the provisons of the statutes;,
and that if he himself had held
the position his hands would
have been tied against doing
other thlan the requirements of
the public school law. If Mr.
Martin 1eazlly wishes to succeed
the bhst St~a superintendent of
1.ucat 1n thr- state Las < d,
1. t him do it by other iieans tLaii
mnenion0ed abo ,ve.
The issuance of bonds for the cs
establishment of the ele( t ic light h
plant is going to necessitate the rti
raising of additional taxes. Now a]
instead of raising all the amount is
necessary by additional levy, it C
strikes us that it would be a de- b<
cidedly better policy to raise at fi
least a portion of this amount by w
the license system. By this sys- fc
tem all classes of business are ai
reached and the burden of taxa- I
tion is more equally distributed, i
for in this way some who are not
reached at all by direct taxation ti
are made to contribute to the p
support of the town. Then too
there is the protection that comes E
to every class of business under J
the license systein which is not
possible otherwise-a feature that o
brings with it advantages fully as N,
great ,s they cost. The council t(
would do well to adopt this sys- nr
tem as one of the means of rais- i
ing the additional amount neces- tl
sary to the town's support. I
Some business men of Winns- I
boro have under advisement the
proposition of building a trolley
car line to the Winnsboro granite
company. Should this be done a ,
great problem in connection with Ii
the work of the quarry would be w
solved-the providing of homes al
in Winnsboro for the operatives, is
who do not relish the idea of w
being so completely in the coun- it
e
try without the conveniences of c
town. As it is they are subjected
to being away fromntheir families,
to whom is sent a large part of
their earnings. Or if they wish
to go to see their families, it is
a great expense to them not only a
in the money required for rail- h
road fare, bnt also in the time a
necessarily lost. The effect of a
all this is to bring about a cer- h
tain demoralization. that can only
be adjusted by their having their a
families with them. The place o
for them to live is Winnsboro, s
and this is not possible without c,
the trolley line or a right of way %
over the Southern from Rockton n
to Winnsboro-a proposition that n
is also being talked. By all odds q
let us have the trolley car line,
which would greatly increase the. b
business of Winnsboro. Several
men have expressed a willingness
to invest liberally in the proposed .ti
scheme, and all that is necessary a
now is organization to get the
movement iis definite shape'.

The 4th passed off quietly.
Everybody seem to be in their
crops trying to lay by. Candi
dates have not been around as
yet and the crop is not very
promising so far. What is the
matter that we have not our
usual crop this year? P
It seems that the State cam
paign is runnig very smoothly, 7N
with the exception of some spice w
throwvn in occasionally to stir up f~
a little interest. From reports
of the meetings the crowds seem
to be small and very little enthu
siasm shown.
The Croquet Club held its an
nual meeting at Mr. G. W. Brooks' t
on Tuesday last. Though thet
day was very warm it did not
seem to abate the interest in thed
game. There was some fine
work done on the ground. A
nice dinner was served and in the d
afternoon ic~e cream and sherbert, n
all of which was very nmch en- t
joyed and helped to reduce the a
temperature for the time at least.
