William DuBose Bratton wa3 the oldest son of Gen.; John Bratton, -and his wife Elizabeth Porcher DuBose, and was born at Koseland in this county June 17tb, 1860. His early education was obtained at our time honored Mount Zion College. Tbence hs Tsent to the "University of the South" at Sewane?, Tenu., where he mastered the loll curriculum, and was graduated with high honors. Choosing the profession of medicine * - ' _ j _ he pursued nis preparatory siuuies here under the late Dr. T. T. Robertson and in due time was matriculated at the South Carolina Mcdical College a: Charleston. Ihere he won fresh honors and was assigned to duty in the hospitals of the United States and the city of Charleston.

Pure, bi*h-minded, gifted at ooce with talent and with modesty?gentle and sweet as woman, yet in every frense a brave and trne man, he has fallen in harness, alas, too soon.

Mr. Editor: I have read and heard a great deal lately about roads and road congresse?, and as you have been kind enough to publish any article that is in the interest of good road*, I will throw out a few suggestions that I think will be beneficial to the public: 1st. That it would not be wise to work the roads by taxation, ar.d the reason why, the fai mers are already burdened with taxes, as each as they are able to pay. 2ud. At the low pric-3 of cotton a ~ foiTnOVO TO111 Tint &b]ft tO iiUUU. LUCtUJ 1.UI AMVAV t.A** ? W ^ ? pay the present tax. 3rd. That we have a good sysfeai of road la^ if the officiels would see that the law is enforced, and if allowed I will make a few suggestions: That each and every white man who is liable to road duty make a solemn vow that they will work or send a hand iu their place or pay a fine, and the supervisor and load commissioners ? :il >3/* tVtnlt* fnctror^a onfftppiTIOf ( Will UU IU511 urn; v-"-a the law; and not confine the chain gang to any paiticular section, bat go j to the hills and worse places of roads, ! and while there order out the road hands that belong to that sec'ion and all bands work while they have the opportunity of the improve'd machinery, and move from section to section until every road in the county is completed, aud I firmly believe that in five years we can bave all the roads in Fairfield County graded. I imagine i can near seme ienow bawling now, "I do not intend to work on the chain gang;" and to satisfy h:m or them I will make another suggestion: As I have said, let the overseers order oat the road hands in section 1 and the chain gang in section 1, work the hands in separaie Eqtuds and separate overseers, and, brother, I will guarantee that we wJ!l have the best roids that have ever been seen in old Fairfield Coanty. BelieviDg that you will try my plan, I will close by saying, work more and write and talk less. Yours, &c., j. m. h. ! Morgantown, Sept. 30, 1897.

A V.ULCi Ailjy JL JUL JU II JJLCiJbii* The riding of bicycles by women hasjbecome so common, and the testimony of physicians to its beneficial effects, when not imprudently done, is so unanimous among those who have examined into the merits of the question, that it sounds strangely now to hear a young woman say that her father or her husband is opposed to her riding. The bicycle is no longer a toy c r an experiment. It is a practical road machine. Itiscneof the great inventions ot the day. It is only second in importance iq me itiepuuuu tmu u.vi;tric cars among recent inventions. It marks a distinct advance in lhe methods of locomotion, and its influence wili be ielt around the world. This is the bicycle era, and the wheel is i*apidly becoming, if it is not already, the most commonly used vehicle of the day, among all classes. So far from denying its use to women, the belief is common that the next generation of men and women will be a decided advance over Uie present one, because of the better physical condition of women which Is being brought about by outdoor cxercise on the wheel. Someone has declared that the bicycle has "physically saved American women by introducing exercise into their lives." With exercise has come a degree of indepence they have never known before, and the value of wSiioh in their esiimasion is beet. ;hown by their use and enjoyment 01 it. One has only to note- the hundred* of healthy and happy girls and young women. savs the Charleston News and Courier, flitting gracefully every day and all day j about the streets of towns witnout exciting the least attention, and even extending tbeir jaunts into country places in favorable localities, and compare this wholesome freedom with the restraints under which the same class of people have lived and moved always heretofore, to understand that the wheel has done more to emancipate womankind and girlkind Irom practical house bondage and physical stagnation with the many resulting evils of those depressing conditions, than any other known agent or agency. The pity is that there are so many girls and women in the state who have never vet enioved a breath of the new life, and that the opportunities of even those who are best equipped *to enjoy it are so limited by bad roads.?

This question, no doubt, troubles the individual as well as the public conscience sometimes. It is not exactly similar 10 me use 01 railways, coaches and other public conveyances on Sunday, It stands on tbe" same footing that the use of hordes on that day does. The owner of a well rested horae might benefit both himself and horse by taking a few hours' exercise, or by riding or driving to church. When a horse ba3 labored hard for six days he needs his Sunday rest, and he oaght to bave it. The bicycle needs no rest. Shall men and women, who are kept qosely confined daring the week, take a little exercise on thenwheels? Is it proper for cyclists to ride eight or ten miles to church? Or is it proper to ride a mile to the town churches? The wheel is here to stay. It has become a very important factor in business and pleasure. It has reduced the use of intoxicants. It is slowly supplanting the old-tiine amusement of dancing. One would be a little shocked to see a long string of Knrrrrioa onr? ntliAr XTAhl '.IPS filled With merry riders, just riding: for fan Sonday afternoon. In our conservative old Southern towns it would not look exactly right to see cyclists out spending Sunday jast in the search of pleasure and exercise.
