THE ROAD CONGRESS.
We want to keep the road congress
promptly before the people, and cot
let them forge" it. It meets 0:1 the
-'Sth of this month, as has been already
published. Ic should be discussed in
every corner of the county, and an
interest in its sucecss should be excited.
Every good :hiz3n is interested

present.
Xow as to what should bs the outcome
of the congress our own view is
that county bonds should be floated to
the amount ot about two hundred
thousand dollars, >ome one should
preseut to the con^vois some statistics,

on ac?ount of good roads, the saving
in stock, Vehicles, <xo. This would
bring U before the people in a very
practical way, and carry home as
ncHbiii? el3e wonid do the argument
of ^ood roads.
If this congress convenes without a
detinite plan in view, it will end in
-?-?TjCihing. We believe the people are
resdv to do something, and they will
aci promptly when something practical
is giren them. The congress
she aid not be a drag.

fioDiiog of County bonds for that purpose.
The Columbia State has been
urging- lUchland county to issue road
> bond?, and it presents the phase- of
the question which we had been considering.
Ti:e Constitution, Sec. Art. X is
as follows:
The bonded debt of &ny county,
township. school district, municipal
corporation or political division or
subdivision of this State shall never
exceed S per ce turn of the assessed
value of all taxsbie property therein.
An.? ?ir? tnwnshin. mnnieir>al
corporation or c her political division
of this State shu.l hereafter be authorized
to increase its bonded indebtedness
if at the time of any proposed increase
thereof the aggregate amonnt
- * ? ? i i _ t- i.
c? its aireauy 05151125 Doaueu ut;uiamounts
to S per centum of the value
of all taxable property therein as ascertained
by the valuation for State
taxation.
Ana wherever there shall. be several
^ political divisions cr municipal corporations
covering cr extending over the
samo territory, or portions thereof,
possessing a power to ievy a tax or
contract debt, then oich of such political
divisions or municipal corpora-)
lions shall so exercise its power to
increase its d-ibt ur '^r the fore-going
8 per ceut. lirait&tLn that the aggregate
debt over and upon any territory
of tills State sL-nli never excecd 101
per ccntura of the value of all taxable
property in such territory as valued)
for taxation by the State": Provided,
That nothing herein shall prevent the

JCCI.IO </* u?.'i.vis i\y<. luv tnii;.v?v vi
In^ or refund:!?j,r any valid suunicipal
del: heretofore contracted in sicoss
of s per centum of the ??t26*9i value
oru'd the taxable property lUeratn.
Tue County of 5Vir!ieid has in round
numbers $0,409,0$'.' worth of property
ace?rdinj to the assessed valus for
taxation, and it ha? no bonded debt
wh. tevcir. T.:c present deot of the
County is ab .ut :?2,0Q0, representing,
we believe, past indebtedness for the
ordinary kH'ui.s of tho County. The
pre.-jir. levy is i mills !br ordinary
purposes aud i mill f jr pa'- indebtedues-.
Vvrlth this showing, ii s:enis to

the bonds would be 10.000 at i> per cent
or SS,000 at i per cent: so that the

TIIE JIOKMOX HXCITK3IENT.
Editor X>: ics an'I I Feral J: According I
to a dispatch in tue Baltimore Herald]
of July I'lth. the people of your county
seem to be suffering from the opera-!
lions of two Mormon elders and w^r
has been declared. In this and adjoining
counties of Maryland aiul
Pennsylvania the Mormons have aiso
been actively engaged for some time
J fast. Thanks to the Intelligence of
I thn iiorsnln of this couuty, not one
1 1 VV{ w_
convert has been reported and the
people arc disposed to let the elder?
come and go as harmless cariosities.
In "Washington and Allegheny
counties of this state, and in Fnlton
and Bedford counties cf I\i., thu
elders have stirred up a great excitement,
and mass meetings have been
called in which to devise ways and
means for their suppression. Believing
this to be a land of free speceh .and
religious liberty and foreseeing that
mass meetings "would result m calls

once sent conciliatory articles to most
all the papers of the excited counties,
above mentioned, and have sin*e seen
matters quieted down.
The Mormons have bier, acknowledged
to be the possessor? of stroi:::
arguments-in tbeir favor ami church |
papers and c? ".rclj ministers hit have;
been aaab!(; to successfully combat j
them have beet) sufficiently excite.i to
a,dveca'e Mo.-mon suppre-sion by j

< i- ; 1, ,v,-? frvinrl
I IlOIiS 111 liivil UCU3 XA ?, . s,
them as imbecile <*s kitte:is.
I believe tbut the proper way to J
combat tbara is through the local pr^i!
of the counties they invade, and that!
any people so inforaed reading the j
fallasies of the ilormon faith and j
practice will thereafter consider th.am j
a? a speel? ot% haralew ouriojity. i
The world ist setting' array fro on'
churches, and bapti?aa? a ad elder 1
a ad priests, and the Montion makes a
mistake i^hen is tbinfcs that the
world's abaadoament tof these is tks
open door for him to e uer with stl.l
j another reproduction of the same.
\ The Mormon church is, itself, in
process of dissolution Its leaders
have publicly published me fact that
not only its common people, but its
elders, i's prophets and its apostles
hare left it in large numbers. We
therefore see the 17,000 Mormon elders
now on the road as scut abroad t<
keep them occupied and prevent their
heads from also becoming turned
against the vast delusion also. This
comports well with the old trick of
arbitrary rulers who stir up exterior
;vars to* engage their people when
civil war seems jbrooding.
The Mormon elders who come
among us have plent of money. They

to deceive the credulous into the bei
liet that they are the followers of the
meek and lowly Jesus who had not
where to lay :"his head. They have
their multi-million dollar temples,
their fine cities, their productive farms,
J their fat cattle, their schools, theatres,
| monuments, banks, and ail the conj
constants of the rich and powerful,
j They alight from a thousand mile
j ride by paid car fares to impose upon
I the bounty of the poor house-wife,

The ciders arc 110*7 ol "pk.isant ad-1
dress/"' true enough; but a tricky j
drummer and a blockhead elude car.have
that. The elders, however, have
not sense enough to reply to any public!
criticism that' is made of them ana j
most all the pamphlets they distribute
were written by men of a past generation,
who, if they lived now, wonld
rather seek to convert their own people J

A GALLANT SOLDIER,
T. W. Woodward of Eockton, S. C.,
is at the Dixon House for a few day3.
lie is north with samples of granite
from a quarry he is developing in the
South. Mr. Woodward Las a military
record of wlich he may well feel
proud. When a boy lie ran away
from home to fight in the Mexican
War. Later he won the title of general
for his gallant service in the Confederate
forces. Ills comarde iu the
battles of the Civil war, General Middleton,
who is at the Plimpton House
at Watch Hill, was at the hotel to-day
to see his old friend and fellow soldier.
General Middleton says that in 1S67,
when the cotton crop had reached

Wooaward wrote liim that the country
would nerer again see such a yield of

WHAT TO DO.
There is comfort in the knowledge
so often expressed, that Dr. Kilmer s
Swamp-Koot, the ^reat kidney remedy
lultills every wish in relieving pain in
the back, kidneys, liver, bladder and
every part of the urinary passages.
It corrects inability to hold urine and
scalding pain in passing it, or bad
effect following use of liquor, -^ine or
beer, and overcomes that unpleasant
necessity of beiDg compelled to get
up many times during the night.
The mild and the extraordinary eSect
of Swamp-Root is soon realized It
stands the highest for its wonderful
cures of the most distressing cas.^s. It
you need a medicine vou should have j
