The Stale is right when it savs
(1^ that the good roads convention,
held in Spartanburg last week,
"lost an opportunity when it failed
to outline a definite plan for
improving State roa Is." The
proposed abolition of the State
farm offers no practical solution
of the roads problem
According to the government
report issued a day or two ago,
. i j the corn crop has decreased in
condition tram 90.2 last moiPh
to 82.S on August 1st. There
has been no depreciation in the
crop in these parts. Farmers
tell us that their corn is finer
than any crop raised by them in
years.
A prominent citizen of Kershaw,
while here a day or two
ago, was laughing at the condi
l&l lion ot Lancaster's streets and
sidewalk-*?the holes and rough
places, the weeds and gra s, and
the rank growth ol weeds in tho
back lot". And what hurts, is
* ; the fact that there is so much
ground lor his laughter and ridi
cule. Will our city lathers please
take the hint? Wit ht he street plow
and rock crusher running and
not less than twentv-five hands
at work on the streets, conditions
would materially change for the
better in less than a fortnight.

We told the News am
Courier about 4<ea'iu' those co'.<
victuals", but it would not bee
our warning. Continuing to amus
itself by twisting the 11 oust01
Post's tail, here is a sample o
the broadsides the Texas lion i
now pouring into Editor Hemf
hill and his city: "Charlesto
dispensary is advertising for 77
barrels of cheap whiskey. Wei
people who live there have a va'i
excuse for drinking, if there i
any such thing as a valid e>
cuse"
The News and Courier charac
terizes the foregoing as a "parti
cularlv nasty paragraph," take
from "the meanest newspapt
! in the world.''
