From its very incipieucy, it has been charged that wrong doing was going on, and now and then some evidence ot corruption comes to lig :t. The latest thing is that when contraband liqtwrs are seized, they arc not sent to the proper authorities and di?p->sed of according to law. It is generally known tbat Beckroge br >ng!-* suit against the constables to vc jover damages for wines, iiqaors, &c., that he had sent to Charleston for his wedding. Xow His charged 'r;:it shoes, cigars,&c., were appropriated hv somebody. Col. Wylie Jones, Ci 'iruian of the State R^ar.l nf flonrro-. savs that he never saw the trunk. The question is now a^ker.: What became of the trunk? Whe s are the cigars? Where are tLe shoes? 'Who has the things and what has boen do no with them? and if these things have been misappropriated, how many other things seized liwe gone the same way? Governor Ellerbe is said to be "hot about it/' and it ought to make hisi l'wo'.." We believe that Governor Liierbe Is? a thoroughly honest man, a;:d xants to do his fail duty. Wc hope : iia; Ii? will have the dispensary matter sifted lo the bottom. We take ii iha;.heisa man who will tolerate no white wash-.jg. The people themselves will be 'hot about it" after a while, at'd tb- y will make it "hot" for some-body. We have never believed in the disp?nsary.system, but have been willing t- give it a fair (rial. If it can not be managed honestly, then it would be ?better 'o have absolutely prohibition. The numerous dispensary scandals arc a disrrracc to a State Government ' ag- ? ttrrnm What is taid in the article this morning abont bad roads is ail trne. A i}: \vp. c-.vpr :hftm w5!] convince anv one that something to improve them ought to be done. A vehicle driven t-?n or twelve miles over the roads in their present condition is liable to be seriously injured. It is hard on the traveller and it is harder on the horse. X'.:e great savin;, in comfort and wear a- I tear of wagous and buggies would s- vn compensate for the cost of constructing good r:ghways. It seems to us that, in the present rough conditio a of our load?, it would be an urgent duty that should induce a man to ride in a buggy ten miles. Our correspond en- is entirely right in his vLws a? to In' effect of bad roads on tn<lc. We know of no one who can more gracefully receive the compliment paid to scholarship by the Russian Government than Dr. Woodrow. He is in every sense a most thoroughly educated and r-nldvated gentleman. As a financier, he is as much a success as he is a scierit >c and linguist. He possesses the exquisite manners ot a thorough gentleman, the graces of a high Christian character, a store-house of leaning not oilec seen in one man daring a whole 'ife.

On Wednesday evening quite a, Dumber of the friends of Mr. Joseph Coleman and Miss Martha Harrison gathered at the Baptist church to see these | popular young people plight their troth. Long ere the time for the cerej mony the church was filled and many had to stand. To attempt to describe the beautiful way in which the church I was decorated would be quite a ta-:k. The pnlpit had been moved and a stage I built where it stood. Opening- on this j were three doors. These were covered with lace curtain?, and in the centre door was the organ. A beautiful canopy hung over the centre of the stag j while on each side were a profusion of fern=, geraniums and lilies. Promptly at S p. m. Mrs. Blair commenced 10 play the Wedding March, | ar.d to its inspiring strains the attendI ants matched in in the following order: ! Mr. Ja?. Harrison with Miss Mary | Cooper; Mr. Jno. J. McEachern with i Miss Mary Harrison;Mr. Geo. Moore, Jr., with Miss Marie Walker; Mr. C. L. Wray with Miss Mai Edmunds; Mr. Oliver McEachern with Miss Lillian Coleman; Mr. Francis Sawyer with Miss lola Kennedy. Then Miss It. Harrison and Mr. Herbert Coleman. flower <rirl and pa^e respectively, came up the aisles. The bride with her maid of honor, Miss Mattie Parker, camc up the left aisle, while the groom with his best man, Mr. A. M. Boiick, came up the right aisle. Oj reuchiug the stage the couples stood three on each side and the Ir'de and groom in the centre: the best tna-i and the maid of honor behind ttie fondc and groom. Kev.

Quite a pleasant sociable was given ",t the Parker house Friday evening in honor of Miss Marie Walker, of Camden. Miss Marie Walker, of Camden, spent last week here, the guest of Miss Mattie Parker.

Mr. Editor: I am gl2d to see some >igus of progress in at least one section of our county, viz., the completion of a telephone line from Mr. EI. S. Wyiie's to Winusboro. I hope to lire to see every section of our :ounty united by macadamized roads and telephones. Now, Hugh, get your roads turnpiked or macadamized, ar d in five years you will more than double the value of your lands. Why are we nnffincr off a dutv that every one sees ~ o and knows will have to be done? Oar roads have been, and are now, in places impassable, either walking, riding or driviog. You could not even slide over them. I venture to ?ay that taey are worse than our oidest J citizens have ever seen them, and we have got lo have a change. Change our system of working. Change in many places our road beds, and what ' 1 ' ' ?- ? - 4-s\ Virtnn n 1 better tirr.e tnan mis sumujei uggiu. If our people are not ready now to go at it In earnest, they never will. They can't go to church on account of the roads; they can't come to town to pay for goods bought last year, much less to buy more. Once get them started aud we shall have no trouble. Can't we have a mass meeting this summer (there is no political meetings to go to and we can't well get along without sotne sort of a meeting) and agitate the matter? Can't initial steps be taken in the matter by some pablicsp'ritcd citizen of Winnsboro? I do not know any one that should feel a deeper interest in this matter than her citizens, for impassable roads is one ox the evils that is sapping the very lifeblood of her trade and prosperity. 'Tis difficult to say which is the greater of the two evils, bad roads or the system of weighing cotton. I don't know where the trouble lies, or who, if any one, is to blame for this evil, but I do know, that it has been a "bone of contention" for at least ten year?, and a great many of our f armers have sought relief by going elsewhere to sell their cotton, and tmre will follow their example if it is not remedied. Now if more platform room is necessary, it does seem that our town could better afford to supply it tha-i to lose the trade tha1. is driven away by not having it, or possibly the railroad, if properly approached, would do something in the matter. Now, Mr. Editor, these are vital questions to my mind that we aa a town and county have to meet and solve, or. a? I hinted above, they will gradually but just as surely solve themselves., and when too late we will find our neoDle trading and enriching oar sister towns and counties at the expense of their own. If any one doubts these facts let tbem go to either Columbia or Chester and they will doubt no more. Chester is now on the eve of an election to dacide the question of electric .ights and water works. What is Winnsboro doing? I leave the future to answer, and if in order, "move that som'J steps be immediately taken by the interested ones of our town and couuty to re:nedy the evils above mentioned." Alpha No. 2. TTT' f>KR LONGTOWX ITEMS. Rev. W. D. Knox, a native of Cuba, is spending- some time iu our section. He left his home in the province of Santa Coba about nine weeks ago. He landed in Charleston and traveled from there through the country, comiug through ibe counties of Berkley, Charlestons Sumter and Kershaw. He reached this section on the ISth inst. Mr. Knox was a memhor r>f the Roman Catholic Church until the carrying of the Bible to Cuba by Diaz, the great Baptist divine After hearing Diaz preach several ;imes he became converted and united himself with the Baptist Church. He has preached several excellent sermons at the Chapel, and will preach again to-night and tomorrow night. Everybody is well pleased with him. He certainly deserves the sympathy of all. Besides beiog a persecuted Christian be is a paralytic! It is very interesting to bear him talk of Cuba, of her beauty, anri of hf:r fertilitv. and of tll2 manv tropical fruits and flowers that abound there. How pleasant it is to listen and learn of the beauties of the Queen of the Antilles. But bo^ sad it is to hear him tell of the cruel war that is now devastating this b.autiful land. The barbarity and inhumanity of the Spaniards is sbockiig; indeed it sounds like some tale of the Dark Ages iustead of belonging to the nineteenth century. And then to think the* f},ie ic rrninflfr>r> fit:nnr vprv iloni'S* at the doors of a nation who h*as felt the iron heel of oppression and tyrany more than once; and yet she stands id'.y by and permits it to bs carried <>n.

The most of fhe cotton crop has been planted in and around here. borne of lit is coming up. March com is now being: hoed and thinned out preparatory to ploughing. The stand is, generally speaking, very good. Guldens are looking well. We had a nice shower of rain to-day which will be highly beneficial to all vegetation. e. h. d. April 33, 1897.

Now we will continue on with the subject with reference to the entertainment : Messrs. Stewart and Seiner dh- j played much talent in their musical J display. In imaginary possessions, Messrs.

In the "Railroad Nature," it was indeed Quite a trying task, for Hcsi tation to converse with his neighbor, Mr. Fogg, especially as he was "stiff of hearing." But the latter gentleman wanted to be sure, and this Hesitation couldn't help himself.
