TV r-dne.jday, jlay 5, - - - 1S97. IT SUOC'LD BE SIFTED. Corruption ^eems inherent in the dispensary sy^-em. From its very incipiency, it has been charged that wrong doing was goicg on, and now and then some evidence ot corruption comes to lig :t. The latest thing is that when contraband liquors are seized, they are net sent to the proper authorities and disposed of according to law. It is generally known that Beckroge br >ngJ-T suit against the constables to recover damages for wiues, liquors, ?&c., that he had sent to Charleston for his wedding. ZS'ow Uischirged 'i:;:t shoes, cigars,<fcc , were appropriated by somebody. Col. Wylie Jones, Ci <iruian of tbe State Board of Contro . says that he never saw the trunk. The question is now a^kcf.: What became of the trunk? V.'he 3 are the cigars? Where are tLe shoe?!' 'Who has the ihinss and what has bo en done- with them? And if tsese thing* have been misappropriated, how many other things seized h*ve gone the ?ame way? Governor Ellerbe is said to be "hot about it." and it ought to make him t;\o!." We bciieve that Governor y *-- ~ l.svvN?r%t JCalCfUtJ it tUUiUtlUUiJT UWJJCOl/ UlCiiJj and Tarns to do his full duty. Wc hope : ua; h? will have the dispensary matter sif^d to ihe bottom.

Tho numerous dispensary scandals arc a disgrace to a State Government What is taid in tbe article this mining abost bad roads is all true. C-UVC CVCi lUCiU Wiii UUIiYIULU au)% one that sometbin-r to improve them ought :o be clone. A vehicle driven t>ja or twelve miles over the roads in 1 their present condition is liable to be srricuslv injured. It is hard on the traveller and It is harder on the horse. T'-.e great saving in comfort and wear 3L- 1 tear of wagons and bnggies wonld s . n compensat; for the cost of constructing good r:ghways. It seems to us that, in the present rough condition of onr roads, it wonld be an j n:-;ent dnty that should induce a man to ride in a buggy ten miles. Oar ce-rresponden ,s entirely right in his viiws as to tu- effect of bad roads on tndc.

Heis in every sense a most thoroughly educated and cnidvated gentleman. As a financier, he is as much a success as he is a scient >c and linguist.

The iaws of the Christian woi !i are the outgrowth of the teachings t?f i':;e iloiy Bible, and yet it is an r.i v;ai iaw which permits the suufition in Europe.

These vehicles must have good roads Legislation requiring wide tires is already ; finding favor with legislators in some j of the Stutes. South Carolina will j have .to follow suit.

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 j was decorated would be quite a ta-k. i The pulpit had been moved and a *tage I built where it stood. Opening on were three doors.

The bride with her maid of honor, Miss Mattic Parker, camc up the left aisle, while the groom with his best man, Mr. A. M. Boiick, came up the right aisle. Oj rescbiug j the stage the couples stood three on I each side and the br'de and groom in | the centre: the best m>i i aud the maid ! of honor behind tt;c bnde and groom. Rev.

After tbe ceiemoay a reception wa;held at Mr. Jas. Cole aaj's, a: Vvhich the relatives, attendants and several friends were present. The brick work 011 ibe new store being built by C. P. Wray & Co. is finished. The wood work and paint rre now being pushed and in a few weeks wid be ready to be occupied. The ball over this store ui'! be used as a town haM. Messrs. Lipscomb & Smiili are also hurrying the work on their new store. This is to b3 76 feet long and 25 feet wide. It is very probable that in the very near future we shall have several more new stores. These must necessarily be built of brisk as the town prohibits any building being built on the main I street unless it is tire proof. Qaile a pleasant sociable was giv<m ",t the Parker bouse Friday evening in honor of Miss Marie Walker, of Camden. Miss Marie Walker, of Camden, spent last week here, the guest of Miss Mat tie Parker.

MACADAMIZED ROADS AND fOTTDV WETRHIXG. Ifr. Editor: I am glad to see some signs of progress in at least one section of our county, viz., the completion of a telephone line from Mr. H. S. Wvlie's to Winusboro. I hope to live to see every section of our county unit-id by macadamized roads and telephones. Novr, Hugh, get your roads turnpiked or macadamized, ard iu live years you will more than double the value of vour lands. Why are we putting off a duty that every one sees and knows will have to be done? Oar !roads have been, and are now, id | places impassable, either walking, riding or driviDg. You could not even slide over tbein. I venture to ?ay that they are worse than our oidest citizens have ever seen them, and we ' - - * PKq r>o*p Dave got 10 cave a cuuug our system of working. Change in many places our road beds, and what better time than this summer to begin. If our people are not ready now to go at it in earnest, (hey 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 and 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 souie sort of a meeting) and agitate the matter? Can't initial steps be taken in the matter by some publicsp'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 of the evils that is sapping the very lifeblood of her trade and prosperity. 'Tis difficult to say which is the greater - ' *' 1 - -1 I oi trie two evus, Dau ruaus ui wc ostein of weighing cotton. I don't know where the trouble lies, or who, if any one, is to blatne for this evil, but I do know, that it has been a "bone of contention" for at least ten years, and a great many of our farmers have sought relief by going elsewhere to sell their cotton, and uure will follow their example if it is not remedied. Xow if more platform room is necessary, it does seem that our towu could better J afford to supply it tha-i to lose the trade that is driven away by not having it, or possibly ihe railroad, if properly approached, would do something in the matter. Now, Mr. .Editor, these are vital questions to my mind that we as a1 town an^ county have to meet and solve, or, a? I hinted above, they will j gradually but just as surely solve t lemselves, and when too late we will find our people trading and enrichi-'g our sister towns and counties at the expense of their own. If any one doubts these facts let them go to either (..'olumbia or Chester and they will doubt no more. Chester is now on the eve of an election to decide the question of eiectric ! .ights and water works. What is i n ! Winnsboro doing? I leave the future ! to answer, aud if in order, "move that some steps be immediately laken j by the interested ones of our town and j couuly to remedy the evils above I mentioned." Alpha No. 2. UrPER LO>*GTOWX ITEMS. Rev. \V. D. Knox, a native of Cuba, is spending some time io our section. He left his home in the province of Santa Cuba about nine weeks ago. He landed in Charleston and traveled from there through the country, comiug through tbe counties of Berkley, Charleston, Sumter aud Kershaw. He reached this section on the 18th inst. Mr. Knox was a member of tbe Roman Catholic Church until the carrying of the Bible to Cuba by Diaz, the great Baptist divine. After hearing Diaz preach several times he became converted aud united himself with the Baptist Church. He has preached several exsftrmnns at the Chanel, and will preach again to-night and tomorrow night. Everybody is well pleased with him. He certainly deserves the sympathy of all. Besides being a persecuted Christian he is a paralytic. It is very interesting to bear him talk of Cuba, of her beauty, aud of her fertility, and of the many tropical fruits and flowers that abound there. IIo^v pleasant it is to listen and learn of the beauties of the Queen of the Antilles. But how 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 I Snaniards is shockusr: indeed it sounds like some tale of the Dark Ages instead of belonging to the nineteenth century. And then to think that this is going on nt our very doors; at the doors of a nation who h*a? felt the iron heel of oppression and tyrany more thin once; and yet sne siauds idly by and permits it to be carried on. Miss Alice Meilichamp, of Columbia, is ^pending ( otne time ain^ng relatives and friends in this section. Mrs. M. E. Kennedy, from the vi cinity of ^mpsuu's, is spending sorue time at Strottier Tidwc 1'?. Miss Annie Dent, of Columbia, who has been visitiug in this seciion, has returned home. The most of the cotton crop has been planted in and around here. Some of it is coming up. Aiarch corn is now being hoed and thinned out preparatory to ploughing. The stand is, generally speaking, very good. Gar dens are looking well. We had a nice shower of rain to-day which will be highl) beneficial to ail vegetation. e. h. d. April 30, 1S9".

But the latter gentle man wanted to be sure, aud this Hesitation couldu't help himself.
