Richland county is one step nuuau
of as. It has set the example of begin !
nitig?a very important step in in-1
proving the public highways. 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

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:

Mr. T. II. Sylvanus, tie expert who

estimate* of the cost of macadamizing
one mile of highway, 30 feet
wide and 6 inches deep, exclusive of
excavation, the stone being delivered
beside the crasher, which would be
located in the eerier of the mile of
road. la his estimate he allows 30
ceots a cubii yard tor the purchase of
granite, an expense which the board
here will not have to meet. Here is
?? Jiis estimate:
?1,000 cubic yards at 30c., per

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

wotj'd be glad to get rid of the rock, and
won Id cheerfully donate it to the
county. 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.

A DANGEROUS RULE.
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.

is strange that McLaurin is charged

who lire in glass houses should not
throw stones. But with McLaurin's
disability he will be able to plant the
colors of victory on the ramparts on

that was so lully given him before

PUBLIC SOADS.
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

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

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. And, at the same time, the
State, if she can only do as well as her
sister California by her sons, would

A DASTARDLY OUTRAGE. 1
Mr. Editor: Ooe wouM not Lave
thought two years ago wb-n the Mormon
elders first made their appearance
in this county that their coming would
have ciused the disturbance which is
dow rife in this commuuity. 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

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. In the excitement which |
followed the lamp globe was broken,

party of these white caps. Chief
among these is a minister from near
the line dividing Kershaw and Fairfield
counties, whose name the writer
has, together with tha names of U12
four whom Mrs. Sharp identified, aud
which if necessary can be made known.
For some particular reasons they are
not made public just ai this time.
A few days since an anonymous note
was andressed to Mr. Sharp, the sum

would be destroyed. Unfortunately
