The work in Richland Trill commence at once. Already a portable stone crusher, mounted on steel trucks and wheels, with a capacity of from 10 to 14 tons per hour, has been purchased. Tke County has alsD purchased one 10 nlnnafnv Tt"l01111 ( <v1 i?l InG SllTTIG lO 1 UVL tlyYUlVi, way as the crusher, two scctiou revolving screcns to separate th^ crushed stoae into three si/.2s. It has bought also one 12-hcise power portable engine withUOO foet of belting, and one 02 ton revt/sible roller. This machinery, with ike neccssary equipmints, is to be delivered in Columbia for $1,?60. Tins appears to us Tery cheap. Besides all of ibis, an cxperiencec man will bs ;?at to put the j plant into operation. The following is ef peculiar interraetl to the people of Fairi'eld jast at: presen;: Mr. T. II.

Here is ?? Jiis estimate: ?1,000 cubic yards at 30c., per yard 8300 00 Crushing at 12c. perv.:rd 120 00 Hauling"on rorvl (average haul -i mile) at 12c. per yard 120 00 Spreading on road; two men at $1 20 00; T>/\1 Kiinr * nrrf\ foomo of Sa TiPl* I try v c?u $?*** day each 60 00 Water!Dg 60 00 Total cost $650 00 The same inaa gives the following estimates as to the cost of operating the crashing plaat for one day with an average output of 100 tons: Engiueer $1 50 Four feeders at $1 4 00 Fuel and oil 1 50 Total $7 00 Tais will make ri?e cost of crushing, elevating and screening per ton only ? cents. It seems to us thafc Fairfield has the advantage of Richland in the possession of rock. Th-?re is hardly a mile of public road in the County that has not sufficient rock on the adjoining lanu to macadamize the road. The ? ?? - ?

This would make a considerable difference in the cost. The distance of hauling the rock would be little. It is safe to say ' that if Richland macadamizes her roads for $1,000 per mile, Fairlield can do it lor $750. TVe think the estimate of $6-30 is too little. Now is our time. Shall we go ahead or shall we stand stili? The number of oar Supreme Court! Justices should be I :creased to fiv?, 01 some different rule made when the Supreme Court is equally divided. Under the present iuw a nsan may be hanged by a divided court. The law is that if two justices of the Supreme Court are of the opinion that the Circuit Judge's decision should be jJIraaed and the other two think the ccairt belCTT should be rers-rstd, thea the j decision of the circuit court ?tandsj cffirmed. man should be a*Dged ; in such circumstasces, and, without the interference of the Executive, there is nothing elie to be done. The seine question may come before another Circuit Judge, and :ie may hold "with the two justices of the Supreme uonrc who thought the court below in the other case should bare been reversed. Oa appeM from this judge's opinion, provided the Supreme Ourt Judges J sto d 3rm to their conviction?, his decision wouid stand affirmed. Ilence we would hare the aaomoly presented j of two decisions, adverse to each other, j being affirmed; and what is far more j serious, a ma-i inav suffer death under the one and go ?* es under the other. ?=*--<=?

We are sure that every ?ne, ^vhose sympathy is worth having, U gratified that Senator IvIcLauria's condition is improving, and the symptoms are such that his friends expect to see him very soon in his usual health. His illness, I however, lias suggested to us the ;tnj wisdom of ;he rule of the Democratic j party in this State, by which the voter i ??cf cftiort fmm those who have filed 1 their pledges within the required lime. This pledge m :st be tiled before the first campaign meeting is held. Suppose for instance, that the position of ncue of the candidates on impo:iant issues was known, yet iho people, if they vote at all, must confine themselves to oi:e of the candidates who has iiied bis pledge in accordance with this rule. As an illustration, suppose that ail of the candidates for the United States Senate at the Sumter * 1?-^ meeting, tae nrst mecims ui wmpaign, should have announced ulfra Republican tariff views, and declared that they believed the time had come for :he South to join in the protection policy, and that they intended to support a high tariff bill. The people woald have been helpless. They could not have refused to vote for them, except as a silent protect. The Democratic Legislature would be compelled lo elect the candidate nominated in the primary. We presume that the va*t majority of the Democrats of this State are i:i favor of the free and unlimited coinage of silver at the ratio of 10 to 1. As an illustration of the mischief this rule might bring about, and thereby defoit the policy of the party in the State, suppose t?ro men are candidates for nomination in the primary and election by the legisla'nre, tLeone a free siiverite, the other a go!d-bu<?, and suppose tLe hea'th of;h-3 free silver man nreaks clown, or he d e?, before the primary, is there any honest way ofdtfoa'ing the goldbug, with the present rule in force? We rejoice aod fee! thankful that Senator McLaurin hud only a j faint at Yorkville, but if he had fallen to tie floor dead, then in what a plight *re Troula hare been. The rule should be amended, and made bread enough j to aeet such cases. It k a rery dangeroas rule in ita present form. "A Tzrr years *?9," says Prof. ! Ilolffies, "a shell road was constructed for a distance of eight miles from "Wilmiogion to Wrijjhtsrillt, wkicb since that time has been maintained in [ excellent condition by the employment of cne man." | Next Saturday the road mass meet ingwill meet here. We want everyi citizen of the county to bear it in mind. It is called for the purpose of ( doing something to improve the pub-1 lie highways. Its importance is ob-j vioas. If the mass meeting does not lead j to something tangible, then it will be j morn- vosvt fapfnrA we can get the people together again on the subject of public roads. 3IOSSY DALE ITEMS. ; This section has been visited with good rains lor the past few weeks, which is doing crops considerable, good, especially the later plantipg and I woiking.

Imporir.nt Inforrnr tlon Furnished I?y Mr. Mearoa for Improving Our Highways. The C?st will be Less than 51,000 1'er .Vile. "We famish interesting data as to cost and manner of making improved macadam roads, taken from official sources ol information furnished by the secretary of agriculture, which were embraced in an article in the State from Mr. Mearee. The estimate furnished the commissioners of Richland County, as appears in another columo, confirms, it seems to us, the opinion expressed that the cost may safely be estimated at an average of less than $1,000 per mil' in this county, where rock supply is abundant and well distributed. In the beginning, a macadamized road 8 feet wide*, 6 inches ihifck, parallel to a dirt road?for dry weather use ?is advocated as all that is essential for needs of farm road. Experience has found out this fact, where a maximum of length of road with a minimum of cost is the sine qua non of the business. A road-bed this size con tains SOO cubic yards of crushed rock, or metal as it is called. In 1894, Mecklenburg County in eleven years' work had raacandamized 30 miles of road, 40 feet wide first two miles from the city of Charlotte, the remainder 3G feet wide, with 4 inches, 100 feet grade, placing sewer piping for drainage and stone piers to bridges, with some cuts 10 to 15 feet, and fills 10 to 20 feet for a few ? ^ a -r- -z * ?'rv o cnoon r\f nun area aetx m >.v <* one-half mile, along ro?.d is 12 feet wide, 9 inches thick, witfc. an excavation ot bed of 4 to 6 inches, rolled serface, most expensive. The average ? ~ ~ OO AAA r\e%r? milo if UUbb ? UiilVJ U AM VA4| ? reduced to Jimits of a proposed 8 feet 6 inch road, would bring it approximately to your ideas on the subject of cost. Wake County (Raleigh) has 45 feet wide roads, 25 to 28 feet of which are macadamized, cost of which, including both grading and macadamizing, is $1,500 to ?1,700 per mile. These roads you observe are three times as wide as proposed for our purpose. Auburn, N. Y., has a good road stream of <30 nnn ner mile?of course, L' , mmh wider than proposed, probably ihree times. The roads about Koine, Ga., were impassable ia wet weather. Th* authorities wait iuto "good roads." The superinteBuint estimated 16 &et roads, 9 inches in middle, 6 inches on side, graded and macadamized, of which a good menj miles hare been built to cost on an average of $1,000 per mile. The?3 roads are twice 'Jae iridth as proposed?in a road for our purposes you may safely divide the cost into halves. The railroad hauled stone fifty miles to Palatka, Fla., graded and curbed th? strset#, distributee tne mciai? limestone rock?12 inches deep, packed and smoothed the road-bed, and the total coa was 3 cents per square yard. Gainesville and other Georgia towns | use a "soft" rock, which hardens upon exposure, and makes excellent road material, at 75 cents per ton f. o. b. Montgomery, Ala., uses screened gravel, put on 10 inches deep, 16 feet wide, (twice as proposed), at coat of 81,200 to $2,000 per mile. At similar ^ - - ? -~Ar,?/I **An<1 AAnlrl Ka ngures our prupuseu iwau wum built for from $600 to $800. Clay costs about 15 cents per cubic yard f. o. b. The South Bound Railway used a sandy loam for ballasting at a cost of 12 cents per cubic yard in tbe track, including cost of loading,, transportation and unloading. Tbe carriage rate on roct material is i ceni per tuu per mile, or less, according to arrangements with railroads, down to six mills, the bare cost of transportation. The Massachusetts Highway Commission say "a good macadam road Imvi hp for 60 cents tier soaare yard." Says Gen. Stone, chief of the road surveying office: "The best roads I that I have found are the cheapest. I The building of roads began witn an expenditure of $10,000 per mile, and those roads to-day are not giving as ' - - 1"?r - -'- ~ r\ f ilia vnoHo mUCD SailSItiULiuu as suiiic vi luu iuuiw built for $2,000 per mile." Again, he says: "In conclusion, gentlemen, I wish to disabuse your minds of any false impression regarding the necessary cost of road improvement in this State. You need not be thinking of $5,090, or $3,000, or even $2,000 per mile for country roads. Some of the very best ro^ds in the United States are nowbeing built ?.-r $ls000 per mile, and except in the neighborhood of very fa.vro nnrf oitipft that T)rice will be quite sufficent to calculate upon for tbe State of New York, and if proper State aid is given and wisely applied through your State highvray commission the share of this cost to be paid by local property will not 'be a burden." Says an authority in the State of Virginia at the road convention of ISDi: "I believe roads can be baiit in AAA ?:i/, J} v irgima ior *jl;wv per nine. California furnishes by convict labor at her penitentiary crushed stone at 22 cents per ton, about one-third cost of private supply. Or, to express it another way,this State quarries,crashes and loads stone f. o. b. penitentiary and sells the prepared metal at 20 cents per cubic yard, and yet at that price to her counties can meet all the prison expenses. Th* actual cost to the State of quarrying an? crushing atone, outside the "feed of convicts, is six oents per ton. By the State furnishing the rock at that price the counties having no local supply ean famish themselves with road material, eo heap are the railroad rate?, (about cost of transportation), and the saving in having little grading enables the lore! counties although remote from supply of metal, :o build roads at less than $1,000 per u>ile. Xott, to conclude,! .uakctbis point: Why can't South Carolina do as well by her people at California byber's? We have the convicts, the quarries, the railroad and river transportation and water power for machinery. If the State would furnish rock material at 20 cents per cubic yard, as California, racking a cost of only $1C0 for the maierial per mile for" the road proposed, I believe many of our counties wouid be glad t? have a chance to raise the funds to pay for the hauling and sradin2, and thus possess civilized roads.

For some months past, even before the Mormon church w?is burned, trouble has been expected, and now it would aDoear that tbinss are about to reach the culminating point. News reached here Wednesday of a raid which had been made upon the Mormon elders and their friends in the Centrevi'ile section, and in order to arriTC at a correct statement regarding th? aflair, the writer, as representative of Tfie News akd Herald, in company with Hon. R. A. Meares, special reporter for the State, visited the seat of war and learned the facts in the case, as was reponeu, an aimv ui | masked aod araied- men, numbering not less than ninety and probably amounting to a whole hundred, set forth on their pale gray steeds on Tuesday afternoon to hunt down ancl drive from the country two elders who, loath to leave the land of their adoption, are said to be still lingering in the community. It was the intention of this army oi braves?just imagine what a grand sight it must haAe been to stand and review these ninety or more fit reprersentatives of American manhood?to visit the homes of the Mormon converts and those supposed to be in sympathy with with the descendents of Brig'hs.m Young ond search their premises. But to be serious, Mr. Lonis Sharp, postmaster and merchant, and a very reputable citizen of Sharp's, told the representatives of the press, in answer to their question as io the report of an outrage against him and his family, that at about nightfall and while he was at supper on Taesday evening last, a crowd of masked men ? ~ ?,MWAnriflflr1 liio rOUC lliiU 1115 }'ttLU AL1U ouuuuuui^u u.As> house. That he rushed for his gun and met the foremost of the gang at his doorway with an order to immediately leave the premises, but Instead of obeying the party rushed around the bouse and entered the back door. The crowd, or a portion of it, Mr. Sharpe went on zo state, rapidly filled the hallway and rooms, the sleeping appartments of the female members not excepted, and began to institute a ' ? J U ^ search tor the eiders snpposeu iu uc hidden there. He then ran to the assistance of his wife and little daughter, but was seized znd dragged: rrom the room. Mrs Sharp commanded the men in no mild language to immediately leave the house, upon which one of them presented a doub.-.e-barreled gun to her head with the remark, "You'd better shut your mouth, for jou see what I have here." Airs. Sharp, by a quick movement, jerked the mask from his face and Identified him as one who has previously become conspicuous as a persecutor of the Mormons. This man immediately rushed from the house and into the /ioT.t-n.oc VTrc. Sfmrtv seeing that the r , - ^ search for the men had been CTidontiy abandoned and that instead the ruffians were interfering with some of ber hoaaehold affairs, approached another of the raiders and ordered him t? leaye, at the same time eatching his mask and dlsclening; the faec of one of Iter neighbors whom she said owed her husband for the very clothes which hp. wore.
