ROAD BONDS. Two hundred thousand dollars would give Fairfield County the best roads in lho State. Bonds onld be floated very probably at 5 per cent and the iutere?c could be paid by a very small tax. The improved condition ?f the roads, affording comfort in traveling, the saving of labor both to man and beast, the inevitable increase in the value of land, the settling of immigrants among u', would more than compensate for the expense. It would advertise Fairfield County above the other counties of the State, and by a little judicious management our farmers would find no difficulty in selling their surplus land. It would not l>2 lonsr before no farmer would be making the complaint that he was "land poor." The issuing ct bonus, it seems, to us is the only practicable "way c: having the work done. If a road tax is levied each year, and only this tax is expended on the roads, it will be expended over such ? large area that no part will bo specially bsnefited. in,-,nn CTfl r.CiA Tr-nnlfl nnf in i Ui XUSIUU^U V*V)WVV IT splendid condition a few ;i!es of a road, bat if that was all the money the county had to spend in any given year the point would be made that as it was contributed by every part of the county every part should receive some of it back. This would necessarily mean that the roads would be very slightly improved. Immediate res alts are better than deferred. If $20,0G0 were spent on only a part of a particular read, and every year thereafter an additional part of the 1 - ~/\/3 ?r f e t a roau tvus it ww abor.t ten years to complete the work otci the whole county. While one good read would be a rare thing in Fairfield County, it can hardly be contended that it would create much attraction outside of the county. The bonds, of course, would have to be paid by the next generation, and it would be no hardship for the next generation would reap the benefit as well as the present. m\iz m Qi? The gross negligence of the authorities a: Clemson in regard to sanitary arrangements is a down right sha ae. Aa institution such as this, where the faculty are supposed to be scicntific men, should be about the ]a?t place where sanitary mismanagement should be found. The committee of the State.board of health seem to hire made a most thorough examination of the pla?e, and the revalatloii.s are astounding. It would seem thai even a little common sense would have shown that the germs of disease were thick in the atmosphere about Clcm-on. While the official report showed very plainly that there Iiici been sanitary mismanagement at Ciemson, the reply of Dr. Taber, the chairman of the committee, to criticisms by the trustees, reveals a far wo-se condition than the report itself. The report did r.ot go so thoroughly into details. Dr. Taber shows that the sanitary surroundings are positively dangerous, and revolting with the mass of filth about the college. And President Craighead and others sought to conceal this state of a^dirs from the people of the State. The Srate has a gteat deal of money in L;cmsDn (Jolicge, ancr it should be made what it was designed to be. How much better it would have been had rrcsideut CraigUead and the board of trustees come out squarely au.i made known the true condition. As H is, the people's .confidence in the management of, the institution has been shaken. Surely scientific men ?a:i not say they were ignorant. We should 'ike to sec a carefully prepared statement of the exact amount of money thai has been spent on the dispensary, including attorneys' fees, costs in litigations, and the amount paid the constabulary, and in fact every cent paid out on account of the dispensary, and over against these figures set the actual sales and profits. We r.re satisfied that as a revenue payirg investment it has been a decide'.! failure, but the cold figures wo aid o^.en ihe eyes of the people. We r.i;Cti.d also like to see a carefully prepared statement showing the actual cosi to the Stale of ail lawsuits for the past .severs years- For I: stance, it i would be iu"creating1 to know what the i Coosaw cr.se cost the State, the Agri- j cultuial Kali case, at: a in fact all of the many legal controversies that the tuile nas n;?u ann:-.. me past ?;x 01 seven years. lint cl'ail cases the most useless was the Agricultural Hall case.

I Aiumt Tiirwi Hundred Greet the Camli j dates hCr?--Aji Orderly Crowd Gives J Liberal Applause to all tlio Caudl dates?Synopses of tlie Speeches, j The Senatorial party were here on j Monday, except Mr. Jno. T. Duucui ~ T > T T 4 Ury. J ana ex-senator j. ju. -u. iruv, iut ! former absent ou account of business and the latter on accouut of sickness. The meeting was held in the Court Housi, and it was crowded. Possibly iliree hundred to three hundred and twen'y people were present. County Chairman Jno. W. Lyhs introduced j ex-Governor Jno. Gary Evans as thei first speaker. He was received with applause. His spcech, in substance, was as follow?: This campaign is the most important held in this State since 1S32. Jamos G. Biuin in his book, i Twenty Years | JU iA 0^} vv/yuivi u fta'.esmer, while always lavish in tlu'ir \ own expenditure, were al a ays t.ue to their principles and to the interests of j the South. It remains for \ou to say i wli3ther or not the South shall adhere ; to these same principles which have made a glorious people. We have I heard men say that it was the pocket; book and not principles for which we | are fighting and there can be no raa{terial difference between these two. 1 The devotion to principle, because I it is right, has made the Southern i- x at peopie grear, me greaiusi peupie m North America. What do you find in the West and in the North? It is-: "Get money, 3nd co matter how 70a fret it." I believe the salvation of this Republic lies in the heari of the Southern farmer. It does not live in the West. The North is growing rich on the farmers of the South, by the system of protective tariff supported by ths Republican party. Do t/m-i l*r>Arc rol-.cf Tiftc mnr?o K!a?f? | "What has made the millionaire there? j It is protection at the expense oc the | Southern farmer. Mr. Evans then went ou to say that he believed in the democracy of John C. Caihoun, the greatest statesman of South Carolina, who fought the protection of the East at toe expense of the South. Calhoun ! told you fifty years ago what would be the result of the tariff, and it stauds to-day almost like a picture, so true has been his prophesy. When I call my opponent (McLiurin) a Republican he takes umbrage; if he is not an avowed Republican, he is a Republican in Democratic nnrtiec arp. .turmaspd to fight for principles, and Mr. Evans intimated that in his tariff view3 Mr. McLaurin was a Republican. The Democratic party believ23 in a tariff for revenue only. What is a tariff for revenue only? lie explained it at length, and stated that ir was no factional issue; it affected Conservatives and Reformers alike The tariff should j be so levied as to raise sufikient revenue to meet the actual oxpen^cs of the \JUVC1 JUi.i, 117 i a. cuv vvu eervatives and Reformers cannot come together upon this qnestiou of principle. Go for the man who advocates the right principle. It costs over $500,000,000 to rnu the United States Government. This much mast be raised, and it must be done by the tariff. It cannot be done now by direct taxation. Congress has spent as much a9 $2,000,000,000, and it makes no difference how much is raised Con? gress will appropriate every dollar of it, even if it raise? twenty billion, to create an excuse for higher taiiff ra'es. The Democratic party oo ttiC other hand propose to tax you only far as it is neces'sary to raise sufficient revenue to run the Government, economically administered. Mr. Evans illutrated how the farmer, by reason of the tariff, was forced to buy necessary articles from the North eiu LLiaiiuiauLUicxd n uiiu utj uuuu natural laws of trade, ought to be able to get from Europe cheaper. He ridiculed the idea of protecting American cotton as the biggest kind of a humbug. This country raised 9,000,000 bales and consumed only about 2,000,000 bales, hence a foreign market was absolutely necessary. As we exported, and did no: import cotton, to amount to anything, a protective tariff on cotton was a fx*aud and humbug. "Protective tariff on cotton sounds well to you farmers; when the farmer hears that, he thinks the second I JUUgUiViil 10 wiuuig. nuv j o? a Southern farmer being protected? i But the innocent farmers come and ; kneel down to him (McLauria) and j say here is the second evangelist! It actually puts a tax of 40 per cent oh j your back." Mr. Evans wanted to know if there was a man hci e who raised sea island cotton, "peerless" cotton, Egyptian or Peruvian. No one answered. Mr. | Evans made considerable fun of the i idea of Air. McLaurin's protecting the | negroes of "Jeemes Island," at the | expense of the farmers who made ' r\ r.r\r\ aaa t 1 ~ _i i ^ i y,UU'J,WU UiUUS Ui bli'U'L Simple uuuuu. Xot a bundled thousand bales of long staple cotton were raised in the entire South, and yet Mr. McLauria wanted to tax the 9,000,000 bales of short staple for the beneiit of the long staple. (This part of Mr. Evans'speech was liberally applauded.) Last year about 40,000 bales of cotton were imported and 8,000,000 exported, aud yet you are asked to vote to tax yourselves to help the negroes of -''Jeetnes Island." Mr. Evans'also assailed Mr. McLaurin for tae tariff on rice and lumber. In closing; his speech h? szid that he uan no puuuuisiis us ou.uuiuki engaged in machinations by which he could be elected. SENATOR M'LAUKIX was the next speaker, and began by ?aying that this was his first appearance in Fairfield. Last week I was at a ! loss to kuow whether we were ah j running for Governor or the United States ~ Senate. I have heard the ; hardest epithets applied to the Gover| nor of the State, and I believe one of ; the gentlemen called him a jiy-bird ! Governor. I was told that this meant ' a Governor, who could go to h 1 and j back before breakfast. I proposo to j discuss the real issues before the peo pie in this campaign. Mf. iur%ns referrciho not bavin? the machinations cf pj.iticians ui Columbia backing 11i;i?. Why drag ihc name of Ellerbc i : tuir? lie i* attendincr ;o h;s Untie* in Columbia, ai;d i* not hero to reply to this. I c-n:er my protect again n it. N->w, fell w-citize is, the) -a:k about the machi-tations of politicians, an i Evans says lie Las not the politicians to buck him. He had them in Columb a last year and ?[Evans: No, I didn't]?ran for Governor with the whole power of the dispensary to back him, and yet he was beat. When Governor Ellerbe tendered this appointment, I accepted it on condition that there tkouid be a primary. Mr. McLaurin asked if Governor nnf- riiQfMiKsori the tariff bill as if he was responsible for tbe whole bill, as if he had had a hand in making up this bill. He alluded to Calhoun and the Democrats party. "If it has come to this, that Calhoun, Havne and McDuffle" must be defended by Jno. Gary Evans, then God save their memories." (Loud applause.) The people of South Carolina are just as loyal to the principles of Calhoun as thev were seventy-five years ago. Mr. McLauirn referred to the fact that 60,000 copies of his speeches had been distributed, and every word he had uttered had been taken down in the Congressional .Record, and yet his opponents had not quoted a sentence to show that he was a protec tionist. In the speecn uismouteu, ji was distinctly stated that he did not believe in the policy or principle to protection. The Republicans framed the bill in a dark closet, in the committee of ways and means, and he did not know what it contained until it was placed upon his table. Bat was I to sit down, and do nothing, or to fig'af it step by step, -and not show its discriminations, and that my own people had some rights. In the Senate the same line of battle was made by Tillman and others of the you nger Democrats who do not belong to that school whose chief concern is to keep their records consistent. Governor Evans admitted that $500,000,010 had to be - * 15 --T_ T__ V.? I raised,ana it coma omy ue uuuc uy duties on imports, Mr. McLaurio, therefore,Jt'nought the best thing was to raise it, under the circumstances, with the least possible burden on the South. Mr. McLaurin twitted Governor Evans with being with Cleveland on the tariff, and said he ou^ht to follow bim all alopg1 the line and be a eroldbug. lie read the tariff plank of the Chicago platform to show the modification of tariff views in the Democratic party, lie read several letters showing the benefits to be derived from the duty on long staple cotton?how iraArtHrm r>ntnp? into COmDeti iLU [JUi. IUU WUvu K tion with AmericBn cotton, lie twitted Gov Evans with ignorance Df the tariff in general mueh to the amusement of the audience. Mr. McLaurin explained that there were four classifications of rice, aud he sought to put the tax on the class used by breweries for the manufacture of beer so that if would fall on the - ' **- **-vr rn. I ricn orewers. iur. juwauuu inferred in the course of his speech to Evans' having been a coattail 6winger. To Evans he said: "If you follow me, you will get to heaven. (Applauses.) I know he will never get there unless he swings on to somebody. He swung on to Ben Tillman's coattail into tlae governor's office." (Continued applause.) Theu turning to Governor Evans he said: "While the lamp holds out to burn the vilest sinner m:iy retarn." (This was greeted wi:h laughter and applause.) "Let ne sell you, the doctrine Evans ;is preaching is Cleveland doctrine, but he (de-nnt L-nnw if." (This 1 lfi > CJ V J UVtJ uui Ituv >. v was received with much applause.) Senator McLaurin then dwelt upon free raw material, as having originated with Cleveland. MR. MAYFIELD was the last speaker and made a good impression, and was freely applauded, lie began by telling a story of a boy who wanted to be cremated, and concluded by applying the story to the can * ^ ? didates, sayn,g tnat me oiners wumu b3 cremated on 31st August. He said lhatalthocgh Senator McLaurin had been appointed by the Governor, that <111 not give him the office after his time expired. The office belongs to ilie sovereign people. He asserted th^the was running independently of tho other candidates. It has been in timated that be was in a combination against Senator McLaurin, and tbat lie was really making the race to advertise hi i self i?o that he could ran : for Governor in 1898. He denied that i there was any truth in this. H? said j ihat before his pledge was filed, he wrote to Senator McLaurin to say that he would be in the race. He repeated what he said at Edgefield, that if there was any combinstion it was formed frooi Columbia. He mentioned that be had a conversation with Governor Elierbe about his entering the race, and Elierbe tried to dissuade him, and stated he (Elierbe) would be hands off .mless certain oersons entered and attacked his administration and if his I administration was attacked, he (Ellerbe) wonld have to defend it. j Mr. McLaurin: "At what place was I that s'atement ::nade to you br Governor Ellerbe?" Mavfield: "At the State House." McLaurin: "Was not that statement made to you in confidence?" May field: "It was not. The question is, is it trae. Here is what he said?" McLaurin interrupting; "I wouldn't repeat it, if it was made confidentially." Mr. Mayfield stated that he had notified Governor Ellerbe to be at the meeting In Colombia, and it could be settled theu. Mr. Mayfield, continu~ 1 rvJo T?o/% Ar?H iC I j fc&lU. XIIC uyiu t-U uia 4v hiuimering after me day after day, and Senator McLaurin and Governor | Eilerbe own stock in it.

May field stated that he was against alJ of the candidates. la viBw ! of the Latimer Dispensary bill, he regarded the dispensary as a national '"no H?

Editor: I did not intend to write j anything more on this subject, having accomplished what wcS my purpose, to get others of more influence and ability interested to discuss and carry on to a successful end this very essential and all-important work of im* proving our public r.ads; but I am afraid that a very serious mistake and step is going: '.o be made just at the beginning if ihe suggestion of my friends "Greenbiicr" and "S" prevails?"that is to do the work by (.voilnii otwl Ttr'fhnnf fh>? /IIrpf?finns rtf laAaUVii Uii V* ?r * W4IV k*v vuv v4Abvvv?v>'? ^ a civil engineer." This will be i s we j all know, a bi.j and an expensive undertaking, yet a very essentia] one j to the future welfare of our pejp'e j and cmnty, and if done properly,' will be done for all time so far as we j of the present are concerned. So tlut j accepting the old a iage as out- motto, j that "whatever is worth doing, is worth d.ing well," let us not attempt to do this work hurriedly or in a "cheap John" style, for if we do, it will only result in disappointment and failure, and our money and time spent for naught. Now as to my friend "GreenbrierV Miggestion, doing it by a iwo mill tax levy, there is to my mind this seiiojs obj'ctiou, lhat in the nature and extent of the work it will nccc-ssarily take several years to complete it and we do not know wh'it political changes and evolutions may take piacj during mar ume, or wneu some lean, hungry, selfish c-fll :e-hunter may lay bold ot it as a stepping stone to some office that be does not deserve or coald get any other way, and thus j destroy the work of jears as well as j the entire benefits that would accrue to the whole county for a little personal gain. It behooves us to look further than the preseut, and provide against a'l these emergencies. I hardly think it necessary for me to point out! the many objections of attempting the work, as my fuend "S" suggest?, without a first class civil engineer: Why he is the very first ne:essity, the very foundation of the work, as my frMonrJ Qrlmifu- when hft aavs. uin n/ t. ?? j ?j the first place a capable man." Now I don't know his definition of a capable nsan, uuless it be a good and experienced civil engineer. This fact is poteut to any one wIid Jakes the pains to look at the work done bv the chain gang in irany instances and places. Now in baying this I do nut mean any imkind reflections or criticisms on our preaent or past overseer*, tliev did their best, and wheu one doe? tbat he does well. They make no pretensions of civil engineeiing, and I c'aim that to do road work correctly, one lias to possess that knowledge, or else his work is only ?peculation and experimental. Now, Mr. EJitor, I hope it will not be considered egotistical in me to thus express my view?, and to offer in connecliou a few bints?I woh'l say suggestions &s to this work. I feel a deep interest, and have given much thought j to the subject of scch vital importance j to our farming interest, being, as I; t U/vi;A?A. ? s\A Ann Artlrr T tf I U&VtS UClUiC Diaiuuf wui uuiv vut/? xu*~ u our obliging intendant formulate a call for a meeting in Winnsboro, as has been suggested, some time not later than the middle of August, and he, together with the following named gentlemen, sign it: J.

S. Ford, W. II. Smith, aud R. A. Meares. T helieve this is one from each sec tion. If not some one will kindly correct, a* it is not my intention to ignore any section, and these named call a meeting in their respective townships and elect five or more delegates to this convention or congress, and let every one come determined to do all in his power to set in motion the work of puttiDg a good road through erery section of onr county, and come prepared to give some good suggestions and talk on the subject, and together let us decide as to the best method and j the best way to arrive at this. It is for every one to feel that it is his j duty to give this matter deep consideration and feel free to offer any opinion or suggestion he may see fit or feel Inclined to give; it is a matter that even one should be interested in, and one that can be discussed without personalities, snd in this day that is certainly a varisty in old South Carolina, and should be enjoyed to its fullest ex-ent.
