Mr. Editor: I am glad to see in ?. recent issue of your paper that our present council are considering the j matter of electric lights ami water works. It seems that we should enjoy, at least, some of the modern conveniences and improvements.

I would not7 for anything say a word to discourage any movement in the way of progress ca any of these lines, bat I might say, for I think and ! see it, thai we are overlooking and neglecting the most important improvement which will bring about electric lights and water works a? a necessity?and that is, that which will reclaim our lost tiade, the value of our real estate, tenant our untenanted farms by inducing good and industrious farmers to s-.l 'e among ns, keep our yonng men a- home instead of forcing them to go t:> other towns as has been the case in th - past and present, and to assuie the success of the factory just erected, equipped, and ready for work?go :o work first to . :m?..nTrn <->nn rmhiir* .ind r.Vlf.

I know we will hear some loud grumbling about high ar:d increasing taxes from 'hose that are always straining at gnats and swallowing camels, grumblig about paying fifty cents or a dollar per year for good roads when they are annually paying from ten to fifty dollars for broken vehicles, and harness," and in lost time, to say nothing of the sto?k that this county annually loses, largely by j onr driving on sucti roads as we'haTo i I Know some will even claim that we | are not loosing our trade *ad our farmers, or that this is utft the cause. 11 ask such to go and consult some ot j our leading merchants on the subject. I if be is so blind tnat tie Das not or j cannot see these things, cr go down to Mr. Crcight and compare the weights or cotton for the past ten years and I see if they are on the increase, taking into consideration the fact that we produce more cotton per acre than we I did ten or even live years ago, and then if not convinced sit down and couut how many of our farmers have moved to other counties or engaged in other pursuits, and then how many have come to our county [and he will J see where we are drifting. I ?now : there are some honestly opposed to j the town issuing bonds. I say to j these show me one that is not lbating j bonds and I will show you a thriftless dead town. I know there are others who don't believe in handing down to our children a debt to pay. I a.-k will it not be wiser to do so with conditions favorable to all enterprises, our farms all in good conditions and occupied by industrious and prosperous people, than to leave them mortgaged homes and untenanted and bankrupt farms. 2so one will deny the fact that farming is the only source that we have to look to for our prosperity?it must flow from that source, j then it seems the wise thtng for us to j i uo is to do that which would encourage | | and aid that industry, and in my hura| ble judgment nothing will go farther j I 1U accomplishing or uni^ms swiu [ I that eud than to~put oar public roads in such a condition as will enable them to market their products with as much ease and loss as possible. Nature has done all that sh; can do to aid us in this matter. She hes endowed us with a climate and soil unsurpassed for the production of almost everything needed for man and beast. She has even gone so far in the aid of this matter a^jo pnt Jfioro of every viriety asti quality .u easy roach all our coumtry right along our ro.iK Cairt we do the balancer I believe some ?? fhof ' vsnhlir rrtJiiJ 5 firft ail L?XIC uao Ov*lV4 tUMi, _ index of the civiiiz-ition ot' a country," | and community I vriii ad !.

I mentioned in my former article in giving the estimated cost of rnacademizing our roads that the bonds could be floated at live or six per cent. I learn since that there is a company that will take ar.d float at four and a half per cent, so mac csumauus cue cost at the outside figure, two hundred thousand dollars, to put a good macadamized road to every section in our county it would onl$T cost ns nine thousand a year, less -what we now pay for gullies and rntul hole?, instead of roads. Now will it pay Wiunsboro and Fairfield County to make this investment; to fasten and build up their only source of prosperity? "We decided it would to run two railroads through only a small portion of our county ar*l at a greater rate of interest. Then why will it not when it places macadamized roads through every section ot our county, suyyjjmS a need that forty railroads cannot supply, increasing the value of thousands ot acres of land that railroads never do, only around stations here and there, and often at the loss of some I existing town as I couid mention. And agaiu, railroads are built by outride labor, the money all (or very j nearly so) going outside of our county whereas the macadamizing of our i roads could be done qy our own peoI pie, giving them and their stock work when they are idle on their farms, every cent kept and spent right here among us, bringing about that which is so much needed right in our midst now, viz., employment for the unimployed.

We have visited all like occasions that were held on the circuit, Sbiloh last but not least by any means. We reached old Shiloh about 10 o'clock after driving over ten miles of exceedingly rouah road, and found very few on the grounds; !bought probably the crowd would be small, owing to the weather being so threatening, but in a few minutes they b"gan to come in from all sides. I believe nearly every commuuity from Lyles' Ford to Simpson's Turnout was well represented. Services began at 11 o'clock, the appointed hour, (about the time Monticello's "it rolled mi with Misses Sallie Hayne McMeekin and Anna Law Martin as cbaperooes), which were conducted by Mr. Charles Douglass, the superintendent. The ameu corners of the church were d-.corated with pretty little girls who were to take part in the exercises, and the pu]pit vrith beautiful llowerp, which had been placed very tastefully in large vases; also large magnolia 1-.! <-v/\rv-> c TT7hi<>V> lAnf frncrrftnc.A frt fhp whole house.

The bread a:id hash were passed around, then the poor little chickens got a move on themselves, (they had some help t! ough), and the cake and rice disappeared at a rapid rate. Ice cold lemonade was served later in the afternoon, and we were treated to f-oir.e good [ music by Mrs. McDowell.

The patrons and trustees arc pleased to I know thai; she will return and take J charge ot her school next session, which opens on the Jirst Monday in September.

J. ne auusuu io nu>v u.i hand when elections of teachers for next session will take place. One of the evils of our schools, especially in the country, is the frequent changing of teachers. The children hardly learn thf* mri.thod of the teacher, and the i teacher the dispositson of tlicchildren, when the term is out and another teacher sakes his or her place. No wonder the children of three to live months schools accomplish nothing. Let me beg you to do all you can in lh) wiiy of improving your schools, for they arc the hope of our country. ! Why should your children have poorer educatioual facilities than the town or village children? Get your people together and stir them up on this line.
