The Present Road Law Ci
Condemned. ?

Mr. Editor: Ol late there h;is
been much said and nothing J
done about good roads. Gab is
cheap, but it takes money and j
labor to budcl good r >a Is. Please
8 ^
let us join in the gab s<>me, too. ^
Oh, ves, we otuilit to have ,
. 11
good roads, and good roads let us
have. For there is nothing more *
essential at the present, for the J5
happiness and prosperity of our
people, than good roads.
We cannot be rHed as right- a
eous people nor first class demo- 1
crits until we have good roads.
Let us hear this: '*A righteous
man regardeth the life of his '
beast." Pro 12:10 When we '(
hitch our beasts to our buggies
and load up, take a seat, whip in
hand and force the bea?t to go in
gullies, in mudholes and rock
piles, at break-neck speed, where
is our righteousness?
n r .. i_ i i 1*1
oume say u wo nan a good
county supervisor, one that
would enforce the road law, we
S1
would have good roads. O wicked
tools. Good men cannot afford to ?
enforce such a tyrannous and
ungodly law. Neither can a 11
court of justice condemn a fel.
lowman for not obeying the de
mands of such an unjust and de ^
spotic law. Let us tout fair.
For all the law is fulfilled in one ?
word even in this. "Thou shall ?
love thy neighbor as thyself."
Gal. 5 14. " Bear ye one another's ^
burdens, and so fulfil the law o! ^
Christ." Gal. 6 2. Ljt us come
together as one in the right, and
P.linnKO flhla r?"?f?n cnnli no I'aor ^
UUVH "O 'VHil j
God, men of truth, hating unjust
gain and have them to revoke
our so called road law, and make
us a just road law. And when it
is made let us enforce it. For
South Carolina and iis institu
tions belong t<> the good citizens
of South Carolina, and not, to
bigoted and selfish fools. Let
dollars and cents be approbated
by the public to lor labor on
roads, and then we will have good '
roads, and not until then should
tl
we demand of the people good
roads. For by the present system
the building of llie road is put
upon the weak and ignorant.
And any one with common sense

s??nse ami judgment to overset1
and have good road work accomplished.
And I iie road workers
e
should l>o paid a fair price for
their services. So lei us afswino
e
together in ihe right for good
e
roads bv good means. We, as
I n
a people, proless lo the world
that we are democrats, and
christians, so now let us live up

to our professions. for a man
who seeks to pu' a burden it,

Tie Nation's Drink Bill?A
Timely Plea for Temperance.
[omo and Farm.
The Amern an Grocer submits
Bi'tain figures <>t interest to the
i>ulitry, show no lmw niucli is
dually pent for beverages, al?
oholiC and noil alcoholic. Il
penis that lor I lie year 1905 our
eople paid tor something
> drink $ 1,548,708,307, an inrease
ol about 50 millions ol
oilars for 1904. The Grocer
ates that this is "one-fourth ;>!
le total estimated production ol
le cotton, wheat, corn, hay and
)bacco crops, and every other
ro-luct of farms, orchards, cate
ranches, dairies and everv
ther agricultural industry, it
mounts to one-eighth ol thena;nn'?
total expenditure for
?od."
That means that one-fourth of
ie product of the farm is used
> secure something to drink. It
leans that out of every $8 spent
>r food we spend $1 tor someling
to drink.
In this drink hill is included
'a, cotTee and cocoa, one-sixth
r about 250 millions ol dollars,
sducing the liquor bill to 1,250
ullions of dollars.
In 1840 the per capita con
uuipiiuu oi wine was a nine
ver a quarter of a gallon, of
ialt liquors 1 1-3 gallons, dis1
led spirits 2 1-2 gallons,a total
f 4 1 0 gallons per capita.
In 1840 the people were suposed
to be hard drinkers, hut in
5)05 the per capit a consumption
! wine had increased to 43-100,
r nearly one half gallon. Malt
(juors had increased Irom 1 1-3
allon per capita tol 8 1-2 gallons
er capita. The consumption of
isti 1 led spirits, whisky say, had
illenfrom 2 1-2 tolessthan 1 1 2
aliens. The great increase has
een in the consumption of malt
quor?beer.
These yearly reports enforce
ii every inougiiciui person ttie
ecesdty for preaching and
radioing temperance. We beeve
that there is a growing
?ntiment among all classes of
?<>p!e a* to the v tlue ol tempernce,

Lanahan's Lament. ^
Colun.bin. S. C-, June 9.?W. I
A. Clark, president of the Caro 1
lina National Bank, today testi 1
lied that he bad frequent couver- ]
sat ions with ?S. J. Lanahan, ol A
William Lanahan & Co., ol Bal- A
tiuiore, and that. Mr. Lanahan 4
had complained that although ho 1
had over $700,000 invested in 1
manufacturing enterprises in f
Coluinhia he could not get his A
due proportion of orders from fd
tlie dispensary. He put in evi- M
deuce a letter which he had re ?
ceived from Lanahan and had 1
turned over to Governor Hey 1
ward. The latter declared lus in- A
tention to remove tlie purchas- A
ing hoard it Mr. Lanahan would Jj
furnish specific information. That 1
was in December, 1904, and in 1
the month following Governor (
Hey w aul recommended to the ^
Legislature that the entire pur- ^
chat-intr system be changed. J
The committee took n recess ^
until Tuesday. i

Washington. ? President Hnr- J
vie Jordan, of the Southern Cot- 2
ton Association, to-day made the j
lolloping statement : ?
"In view of the present mis- 1
interpretation of my position on 1
prices of spot cotton which has J
been given general circulation j
in the press during the past lew ^
days, I wish to unqualifiedly %
deny any report that 1 have ad- T
vised farmers or others to sell ^
-pot cdtron for future (felivery or =
to deal in cotton fulures at all. C
My position in favor of higher
prices is unchanged and will continue
so long as present splendid "V
trade conditions last and no pro rrt

Lancaster special in Charles- K:
ton Sunday News: Mr. John %Sj
T. Green, of Lancaster, and Mr.
Tlios. Kirkland, of Caniden, representing
the Lancaster Anti
Liquor League, appeared in J?
Camden yesterday befoie the til
Kershaw County board of con ""
ut
trol to protect against tin* opening
ot a dispensary in the town ro
of Kershaw. Mayor E. I). Blake v,
Nl
ney, of Kershaw, was present. Fi
It will be recalled that the State hJ,
hoard some weeks ago decided j'.'
to open a dispensary in that pertion
of the town of Kershaw l(
which lies in the county of Ker- 1
shaw, which|portion, by the way, a:]
is but a small part of the town ^
Kershaw's position is rather a 1,1
peculiar one. It is situated in ce
two counties and four townships.
The opening of the dispensary }?<
is being opposed on several ,.<i
grounds, one ol which is that j"
proper notice was not given of
... t V
the election ot a disp 'User, f.?r
w hich purpose the county hoard jj'1
no t yesterday. Another is t hat [mi
Kershaw is not an incorporated I f/t
town in the county of Kershaw.
The county board rendered no ei
decision yesterday, but postooned
tlie matter until next Wed 21
