ORGANIZE ROAD CLUBS AT OXCE.
In onr last is;uer we stated that the
T-?- ? ? Vvrtm fol'on -fnr
preliminary JJ&U uqcu uavu -*.v?
the formation of a County Road Association.
We think (hit the plan of
organization is on the ri^ht iine. The
main idea of tie plan is that the genera!
organization shall be built np by
the township clubs or road clubs as a
foundation. These road c'ubs are intended
to be the means of sgitating
a a
the subject of good roads at the very
bottom, tbat is, in each township,
community or neighborhood. In our
opinion, the road clubs are me mosi
important part of the organization.
Upon the success or failure of these
sub-ordinate clubs will depend the
success or failure of the county association.
The very life and usefulness
of the association depends upon the
road olubs. It is necessary, therefore,
that the road club3 should be properly
formed and started with enthusiasm.
The association, of course, will have
' y. to rely upon the friends of good roads
in the several townships for this work.
The News and Herald offers a liberal
use of its columns for this purposej
All notices of meetings will be cheer
fully published free of charge, and we
invite ariieles on the subject of better
roads. If the asec ciation can succeed
in arousing enthusiasm in the road
clnbs, good roads will soon follow.

membership in the association, and we
urge everybody to join. Just here, we
desire to correct a wrong impression.
We have heard of some who say that
they do not wont to join because they
are opposed to issuing road bonds.
The association has no power to issue
bonds. It has no authority in law,
and while it may petition the General
Assembv for needed legislation, it
certainly has no authority to levy
t&xes. That authority belongs elsewhere.
For the very reason that you
oppose fioating bonds should be a sufficient
reason for joining the association.
Of course, if you are opposed
to good roads, then the association
dees not want you as a member. We
take it that no one will confess ihat he
dce3 not want good roads.
These road slobs should be formed
at once. Afier they are organized,
each clnb has the right to elect a member
of the cormcil. Next in importance
to the road clubs is the council.
? ?n? - ;i ? i 11 J
JLBis cc'uucxi will note an uau pioocs iu
- -?. the public road?, urge the coanty government
to have them attended to, and
through the local clubs see that the
roads are properly worked. This
council will report to the association
anything, in its judgment, in the interest
of good roads. A good workins
council can do a great deal of real
good work, and it is important that
the road clabs should select their very
best men as councilmen.
It seems to us that if property managed
the Road Association of Fairfield
County will lead to good roads. Let
everybody join it, and urge his friends
and neighbors to do the same.

South Carolina should be represented
at the Paris Exposition by a
creditable exhibit. Like France this
State is well adapted to grape culture
and an exhibit showing what can be
produced here might be the means of
inducing some of the thrifty and industrious
Frenchmen to settle here.
France's population is crowded, and
with proper advertisement of our resources
and establishing a kiDd of
bureau of information along with the
exhibit, it might prove a paying investment
to {he State. South Carolina
has a great deal of French blood in it,
and some more of the same class is
desirable. Iu oar opmignr an exhibit
in Paris would b3 more apt to
induce settlers to tarn this way than
an exhibit made at any point in the
United States. Of coarse, it would
take money to have the Slate properly
represented, but, if it is to be done at
all it should be done right. The
chances are that the State would re
ceive the money back with good returns.
We have always thought that
if the real advantages of the State
could be made known to the world,
it would not be long before immigrants
would be attracted here.

General Hugh L. Farley died
after & lor.g illness on Thursday.
General Farley's war record Is a series
of brav* deeds. No one ever doubted
Lis personal courage, and he leaves behind
bini a record that is a magnificent
tribute tu bis memory. In politics,
many of us did not agree with him,
but no one ever doubted his honesty
and feucerifv of conviction. lie was
among rbe first to take a stand against
bos?i?m in the State and had his health
not tailed, he woald doubtless have
becoo.; > strong factor in prodacing
new ? igiiin.ii.ts and a better political
condition in tLe State.
Join the Eoad Association. It is a
mistake to suppose that this commits
or bi::ds you in any way to vote for
bonds. All the association now has
in view is to co-operate with the
County Supervisor in making the
present system more efficient. Thai's
about all that could be accomplished
jow. i'ou certainly can not oppose 1
that; un!e?s you are opposed to good
roads on principle.
The State Fair promises to oe 01

of exhibits and visitors, and this year

"WHAT ABOUT THE DISPENSARY?
The General Assembly will meet in
January, and already the newspapers
have begun to speculate as to wnat
will be done with the dispensary law.
la oar opiniou, practically nothing
will be done at the next session.
Legislators are always timid when
they have to act on a question that
the people have not directly passed on,
and we have no reason to think that
the present General Assembly will
pro*7e an exception to this rale. If
the matter should be brought before
the General Assembly for action,
?<- Ifeoif dr.n'iffnl. it ia more
YVIili.ii lo avova# \av uww* - - ?- ?
than iikely that members will say that
legislation should be deferred until a
new General Assembly shall have
been elected, and when it ha3 been
discussed on the stump, then this new
General Assembly fresh from the
people will know the will and sentiment
of the people. So we do not
expect any dispensary legislation next
January. It is not out of place, at any
rate, to discuss the question. Every
one should realize, tbat the question
should be approached in a common
sense and business-like way. That a
change of some kind must be made,
It i3 folly to den/. The dispensary as
a financial enterprise, as a revenue
producing system, has been a failure.
As a moral measure it has not been a
"howling" success, and a great many
* * * ? - i- < Kos

been a dead failure ia this respect.
It has unquestionably been the source
of ceaseless litigation, of political corruption
and aa engine of oppression
No lav?- in this State ever caused so
much bitterness, and no law has been
the causi of so much blood-shed.
Withal, nevertheless, it has some good
feature?, and upon them as a basis we
hope that a wise solntion of the liquor
question may be reached. Indeed the
PrvnL.tltnti'An nnlffS! if shfl.11 he ame.ld
W/U^UlUliVU)
ed, prohibits a return to the old barroom
system, and whatever may be
the plan it mast be in the m&in the
same as the dispensary. We believe
that' the features of openiDg at 8
o'clock in the morning and closing at
6 in the evening and selling not le3s
than a half pint are good provisions.
The logical outcome of the present
situation, it seems to us, is to grant
licenses to individuals, ana restrict tne
sale as now done by law. We do not
think it an unwise provision to require
the liquor to be anal} zed. This,
however is somewhat impracticable,
and poasibly it might be omitted.
Prohibition will, of course, be advocated
as a substitute, but it would
prove a failure jast as the dispensary
has done. If a countv does not want

ought not to b3 forced to v.. Counties
shoal 1 be given a chauc-3 to vote
on the question, and no sham election
should be Held. A mere petition is
not sufficient. There should be an
honest and fair election. Again we
believe that a good round sum should
be exactcd as a licensc fee.

A Cotton Mill Soon to be Bnilt at Cata tvba.
Some time ago it was mentioned in
the Register that the state had sold its
title in the Catawba canal to Mrs.
Susan A. Boylston, of Winnsboro, for
$1,000 on certain conditions. It comes
from a very reliable soarcc that northern
capitalists have already taken
hold of the project and will repair tbe
canal and build a factory there to cost
8150.000. It is said that machinery is
already being purchased for the mill.
The names of the investors could not
be learned, but that tbey have in contemplation

that the Egyptian seed will yield twice

inflow of tbe worthless, lawless, violent,
dangerous and pauper immigration
of lower Europe, constituting
about 40 per cent, of their population.
We have been saved from tbat abomination
of desolution; it has never invaded
our state. Nowhere can be
found a more industrious, thrifty or
law-abiding people, rising as they do

\et, when taken in connection with
its healthful climate, is unexcelled anywhere.
Under normal conditions and
equai laws nothing could prevent our
people accumulating wealth and reaping
prosperity as the result of oar
labor. It is because we have been
deprived of the benefit of our natural
uuvamageb uy UJUSL uuiuot auu iui4uitous
tews enacted by congress since
1861, that we are poor where wc
should be rich, struggling for existeace
where wc should be supremely
prosperous. Wipe out tbe unjust acts
of congress of the last 35 years, and
this state will enter upon a life and
era cf prosperity such as has never
been seeu in this country.
Tne first of these laws* was the legal
tender act of 1862. The ise'ue of
paper money by the national government
was necessary to support its
large armies which cost a million dollars
a day, but it was not necessary in
fn fhp rlisr.nminatifm
which was made, of declaring that the
greenback, as they are ealled, should
bs received for a!l debts, public and
private, except for interest on United
States bonds and in payment of import
duties. That exception caused
the gold to flow into the treasury
vaults, and then out of the vaults into
the pockets of the holders of the
bonds?the capitalists and banks of
the north and northeast absorbed the
gold of the country. They next ran
it 10 premium, iuc ic&uiupuuu a^io
followed hard npon the feet of the
war and reduced the currency of the
countri over $1,000,000,000. The
holders of the gold reaped immense
fortunes. The business of the country
and the great mass of the people suffered
in proportion.
Congress followed its legal tender
acts with its reckless donation of 145
millions of acres of government lands
to the Pacific railroads, besides guaranteeing
the bonds which those roads
should i?sne,iron which immense lortunee
have been covered into the

The pension extravagance has
reached a stage of pmblic robbery

world. This year the appropriation

the United States, amounting to two

are more names upon'the pension roll
than there were men in Lee's army 33
years ago.
The war also gave the opportunity
to levy and impose an enormous tariff
npon tie country.' There should be
no question as to the position the south
occupies as to tariffj We have everything
to lose and nothing to.gain by
it. It i3 a wall which the United
S:ates erects around itself, by placing
a tax upon foreign goods which must
be paid'before they can be admitted
and sold to our people. Ths object
and eCect is tnat tne consumers, me
buyers of goods are thereby placed at
tbo" tender mercies of the manufacturers
of this country. The wall shuts
out the foreign competition which
would keep prices of manufactured
goods down, and leaves th* American
people a prey to the American manufacturer.

hose she does not come in competiion
with the rest of the world, but
leads foreign countries and ships to
them. Birmingham sends her steel
rails to Europe. South Carolina sends
her cotton goods ..to Asia. We are a
producing state, and need foreign
market for our farm prodncts. We
want no tariff wall between us and
them. We ship nearly 60 per cent of
our cotton abroad. It has r.o competition
from any country. Egyptian
cotton is no more a competition with
it th%n wool is; it is an entirely different
Droduct?finer quality, finer
fibre, giossy and yellow, and worth
4 to 5 cents more a pound. A tariff on
cotton could not keep out, but it
coald and would interfere with that
free commerce between this and
foreign countries which is so essential
to a good price for the product. The
only crops we raise that a tariff could
help is rice, and that is a proper sub
iect of tariff duties becmse it is an
import and not export crop; we do
not raise one-third of tbe amoont consumed
in the country. It is a revenueproducing
product. That is the true
test and the good old democratic doctrine.
Calhoun, Hayne, McDuffie and
tin others of South Carolina'^ illustrious
statesmen have made her name
bright in the page of history, and they
ever foDghr, consistently and determined,
for now nearly three-quarters
of a century for this pure democracy.
The only tariff that can help onr p.30
pie is a low [arm, aoa as iow as uuu
possibly be made to raise enough revenue
to rein the government. Calhoun
fonght for 20 per cent tariff Tbe tariff
fast passed is a 60 per cent robbery.
Even the tariff of 1864 was mild in
comparison with this last one. There
is not an article we wear, or eat witb,
or sleep under, rarebaried with'.hat
is not iargeh ::t:*-t-?-a?e 1 in price by it.
The blankeis ibc-t we pay five dollars

that costs ten dollars for a snit woold
be less than five dollars, did not the
tariff of 101 per cent enable the manufacturers
to rob gs of the other fiye.
Senator Jones, of Arkansas, estimates
that for the next year the manufacturers
will, by viriue of the tariff on
wool and cotton goods, realize 150
million dollars extra profit while the
revenue coining from ^nein to the
government will not exceed ten millions;

It is simply a question of how much

products and common grades of cot

just 40 per cent more than a 20 per

this tariff. That $36 goe3.to the manufacturer?the

1898 congress will be controlled by a
safe silver majority. In the presidential
election of 1900, under the magnificent
and unequalled leadership of
Wm. J. Bryan, the contest will be between
the honest producers, laborers
and patriotic sons of this great conntry
and the pampeted favorites of unequal
and iniquitous law; and with a
aemocranc pre?uieui,5>eij?iit: ?uu uuuoc
elected, we may hope to see the money
of th& people restored to them, the
tariff redoced to a purely revenue
batis, and our great and beautiful
soutblank permitted to enter upon the
paths of prosperity which have so long
been barred against her.
Js is Easy to Tell.
People who fail to look after their
health are like the carpenter who,
neglects to sharpen his tools- People
are not apt to get anxions about their
health soon enough. If you are "not
quite well" or "half sick" have yoa
ever thought ihit your kidneys may be
tbe cause of your sickness?
It is ea?v to tell by setting aside your
urine for twenty-four hoars; a sediment
or fettling indicates an unhealthy
condition of the kidneys. When urine
staius linfn it is evidence o: kidney
trouble, 'loo fr- quent deaire to urinate,
scanty supply, pain or dull ache
io the back is also convincing proof
that the kieneys and bladder are out
of order.

PRESERVING FOODS IN TIN.
The process of preserving aliments
pj iin had its origin at Nancy, France.
In 1841 Joseph Colin of that town established
an agcncy in London for the
sale of tinned delicacics. Their cost,
compared to that of to-day, reveals
what has been accomplished in ch?ap
ening these products during ihe past
fifty-six years. In 1841 a quart of
turtle*oup in tin put up by Colin cost
$3.72; a small box of sardines, $1.25;
an entire trufflad salmon, $15; a beef
tongue. $2; a Toulou-e duck, troffl d,
$9. Vt-aetables were (iropoitionately
dear. Colin evidently carried his
system much further than is attempted
at the present day. Ke sold in tin an
entue 8i:CKin?r pig, lor which UKcbargrd
$12 50. He a!-o preserved
butler in tin, for which he a?ked 75
cen'S a pound.
