I having served In that capacity for twenty/
three year*. Before the town of Abbeville
' was organized Into a school district, Mr.
Templeton was chairman of tbe Board of
??- 3 Trustee*, and It was largely owing: to his
enthusiasm In the cause of education that
the city of Abbeville was set off Into a
separate school district.
Continuing In tbe good work, he led the
movement which resulted in tbe bulldiDgof
tbe most magnlflclent school house in this
section of tbe State. In that school house
has been taught, and is still being taugbt, the
best school tbat Abbeville has ever had.
To have beer a moving factor in bringing
about results tbat btive benefitted tbe people
must be a source of honest pride, and to have
taken an important part in the erection of a
structure tbat will stand as a monument to
liUO WIOUUIU Wl VUO VI MOVVW, uu\? uu n kvu>i ? w
lal of the liberality And publlo spirit of this
people, Is something of which any man might
well beproud.
Having served for twenty-three years, he
,now declines re-election, and will In a few
months retire from the office In which be has
labored for the public without fee or reward,
except the consciousness of duty performed,
aooordlng to the lights before him, and with
an eye for the public good.
His successor, Mr. John A. Harm's, is one
of the beat men in this town. He has never

Board wlih tbe good will ot everybody.
Some fifteen years ago, he came to tbe town
from tbe farm, without money, and without
otber recommendation tban bla Inate worth,
and tbe Invincible determination to Bucceed
in life.
He accumulated qnlie a handsome estate,
while earning Tor himself the confidence and
respect of tbls community. Because of blB
practical methods, and bis high integrity, be
was chosen bookkeeper of tbe Abbeville Cotton
Mill, and no man ever did more labor, or
exerted a greater Influence, in bringing success
to any enterprise. He has contributed
much to tbe assured success which awaits tbe
.' Abbeville Cotton Mill, and be has done blB
fall share in inspiring publle confidence in
Abbeville's greatest enterprise.
With a record like tbls behind a man as
young as he is, no oommunlty could make a
mistake in electing him to any position of
bonor, or in confiding to him tbe highest
trust. Apcbalrman of tbe Board of Trustees
be will serve tbe people faithfully, intelligently,
and acceptably.

Bryan's Everlasting Talk.
Mr. W. J. Bryan, who was defeated In tbe
( r last election by William McKlnley, employ*
much of bis time In unfriendly criticism of
t be great eonqaest of territory, and 1h seeking
to deprive ibe coon try of its benefits.
After having been sidetracked, or repndl
a ted, by tbe people he seeks to deprive bis
successful competitor of some of tbe honors
whlcb he has won. McKlnley. however, has
j*1*;!- *;> '* never replied a word.
Mr. Bryan has sagacity enough to know
that the' popnllstlc silver business stands a
. fair cbauce of being eliminated from the nezl
Democratic platform, and be now seeks to
a: . make new Issues whereby tbe country may
7, ' never realise tbe benefits of the victories ol
oar sailors and soldiers.
yv e JUUB.C vuis fiicuiuuuu : i uu silver uuuiness
Is plumb dead; and that Bryan will tails
himself to deatb. Freed tram free silver and
t the everlasting talk of Bryan,, this conn try
, may rest In peace.
Fitrmeru Yearning for Advice.
It Is strange that no newspaper has, as yet,
ventured to advise tbe farmers bow to run
tbelr business. It Is now only about two
' , months until tbe time to plow, and we have
aeen no speclflo Instructions as to bow or
what tbe farmer must plant. Newspapers
' V which neglect to advise tbelr patrons bow
to run their business may fall to come up
to tbe full measure of their usefulness.

ner The Spectator has recently had evilon?
dence of the enlightening influence of
travel. For years he has had occasion
to -walk, to drive and to wheel over a
certain piece of country road, a piece oi
road as bad as a combination of mud
and sand and sods and loose stones can
make a road. Last summer be found
this piece of road not only good, but'
excellent and improving all the time,
until in the autumn it was as good a
dirt road as any one could want.
The other day the Spectator chanced
to meet the overseer of the district?the

face of the overseer was wreathed
in smiles, and his cheeks glowed with
pleasure. Then, as he spoke, his look
became serious.
"Well, I tell you how it was, Mr.
Spectator. Last fall I took arrive down
? to Blank"?naming a large town 60
? miles away and three counties off-?" and
I seen some roads that made me ashamed
of the old mudholes up here, and I says
to myself, 'If ever I work the roads of
my district again, I will have good roads
too.' So I asked 'em how they did it,
and, by George, they tell me that they
didn't do nothin but keep the stones
oaten the road, keep the sods off, and
open np the ditches so as the roads
? wouldn't wash. And that's all I done
L_ this spring, bnt I kept on a-doin it, and
J? though we had the worst washes this
* summer I ever see, the roads in my dia
trict have been better than they ever
was afore. Next year," he continued,
j* "I mean to tell the town committee that
J* I will take a mile more of road,, and
J5 don't want no more money than I been
get tin."
Now, on this little excursion from
:? home, this honest old farmer had learner
ed the real seoret of road makiug, and
? he had had the sense to apply it when
n he resumed *vork in his district Water
~m is at once the most destructive and the
m most beneficial force that the road maker
? and the road repairer has to contend
?j with and to count on. If it be harnessed,
m so to speak, it can be made to keep the
roads clean and smooth and hard; if it
to be uncontrolled, it is sure to -wash the
JH roads into ruts and make them all but
impassable. Drainage is the most essential
feature of a road, and in most is- '
<S? stances this is simplicity itself. I
3?p In the Spectator's experience he has
rarely come across a country road maker
80p who did not believe that the sods taken
^ out of the side ditches should be put in*
*>p to the road to be ground up into dust by
^ the wagon wheels, converted into mud
by the rains and finally waehed back
iu into the ditches again. This process of
U*. road repairing does no good at any time,
as the road so worked is usually?indeed,
in nine cases out of ten?better
m.\ when the repairer pats bis hnrtfnl hand
on upon it than at any other time.
m.', It is so easy to make a good dirt road
and to keep it in order that it seems
ever a wonder to the Spectator that in
this country, where the people plume
themselves upon their ingenuity and
adaptability, they should keep on being
, a stupid in this very important matter of
road repairing. The Spectator knows
^ from actnal experience that in the ayerage
country neighborhood the roads can
be kept in most excellent order ten
months in the year with the money that
is now spent on them. If elementary inK
struction in drainage could be given to
the overseers of the roads, then the
powers of nature, now only destructive,
could be made to do most of tbe necea^
sary work of road repairing. The spring
rains can be made to do the" work of
am road scrapers, and the sammer rains
?m will more frequently than not Bnfflce to
keep the roads moderately free from
dust.
A good dirt road should have a slight
~ crown, so that tbe water will drain each
pm way fronj the center to the side ditch,
p% and there should be no intervening strip
of sod between tbe roadway and the
am ditch. The second requirement is most
am important, and it is almost universally
disregarded. The sod is tougher than
I." dirt, and it also becomes higher. The
grass being permitted to grow, its edge
? forms a ridge which interrupts the
pm drainage, and then, when the rainfall
Pm is heavy,, there is sure to be a gully
pm above the ditch?a gully which in a litnm

p[? and make it more or less impassable,
am Tbe crown to a dirt road, or to any road
m lor that matter, should be higher on a
am grade or hill than on a level, stretch.
am The rainfall on a hillside runs off with
am greater velocity and therefore does more
pro damage. Therefore it should be diverted
from tbe surface of the road even more
am quickly at such places than where the
grade is level. These few simple enpro
gineering principles, it seems to the
Pm Speotator, could be inculcated and the
on rural population relieved of a very

ROAD DESTROYERS.
Some ef the Forces Which Operate to Im
pair Highways.
A roadbed may suffer disruption by
shrinkage of tbe snbgrade. It has been
determined experimentally that clay
shrinks one-fifth of its bulk in excessively
dry -weather and increases to a corresponding
degree when wet, and that
ilidious sands and gravels undergo no
Change in volume. From this it follows
that when a way passes over a clay bed,
which may become desiccated, Injurious
results are likely to follow, particularly
at a point where the clay abuts a
sand substratum whioh is unaffected by 1
weather changes.
The gradual destruction of a roadbed

and impact is- always to be expected,
AFTER A HEAVY BAD*.
[From L. A. W. Bulletin.]
and the rate of wear would seem to depend
directly upon the hardness of the
mad stone used in its construction, and
yet so many factors have to be taken
into consideration in choosing a road
metal that it is fonnd that the question
of hardness, important as it may be
when combined with other qualities,
singly is not of greatest consequence/
Quartz, the hardest of our common
minerals, used alone does not make a
desirable road stone, as its dust is laoking
in oementing power, it has a low
peoiflo gravity, and is very brittle,
qualities we should seek to avoid in selecting
a road material.
On the other hand, rocks as soft as
limestones and slates are quiokly ground
to powder and are rapidly carried away
by water and wind action. Hardness is
of importance in tending to resist the
abrasive effect of wheels and the feet of
animals, but brittleness promotes crum- |
blihg under the impact of blows there- ,

STATE AID FOR ROADS.
Xhe Kxpenae of Highway Improvement
Should Be Borne by All.
Roads are.used for pleasure as well ;
aa for traffic. This use of good roads by
town people is greater than the same i
nse by farmers, for the farm population :
has .less of leisure. This ie especially 1
true of the women and children. In the
country they are busily employed, while ,
the women and children of the town
have the leisure for driving and riding.

pay for them.
Thousands of people now use bicyolea.
Ninety per cent of these wheelmen '
are town people. They would profit by (
good roads. This is so plaint that they (
are the foremost advocates of good
roads. Profiting by good roads, they :
should bear%a part of their cost. This i
they can do only through state aid. i
Good roads, removing the isolation
and dreariness of farm life, would operate
powerfully to lessen the movement
of farm population to the city?a movement
that has been excessive until population
is congested in the oities. This
would reduce the overcrowding of city
industries, leadiug to steadier employment
and better wages, and as a large
percentage of population would be engaged
in agricultural pursuits, while a
lessened percentage would be engaged
in other pursuits, there would be a
greater comparative production oz iooa
products, wool and cotton. The result
would be lower prices, and the income
of town people, increased by steadier
employment and higher wages, would
purchase more food and olothing. Surely
for this double benefit town people
might well pay something.
While there are some just objections
to state and oounty aid in roadbuilding
there is no other way in whioh town
people can contribute to the cost of good
roads so equitably and efficiently and
with so little injustice to themselves
and others, and some method of application,
beneficial and just to all, can
rarely be devised.?John M. StahL
Bad Boadj to Blame.
The Leavenworth Times, in an editorial
on the good roads movement,
says, after speaking of the importance
of good roads to the farmer and ruralist:
"In the cities would not the people
be healthier, happier, more hopeful,
would not life be sweeter and more re*
fined, if there was a more frequent
babit of seeking the fields and woods
and country villages? Nothing has
weaned people from their love of the
country so much as bad roads?deep
mire during and after rain, thick dust
the rest of the time."
Boad Notes.
In the whole territory of Alaska there
ire only 16 miles of roads, according to
A recently published statement.
Good roads are comparatively cheaper
to maintain and to use than poor ones,
and the sooner this idea is comprehended
on all sides the better it will be.
P. V. Collins, a prime mover for
good higbways in Minnesota, figures
oat that the average cost of hauling on
the average road in Amerioa is $1 per
ton for fonr miles, while in Europe it ,
Is 16 cents for the same load the same
distance.
So long a* I may be a star in God's
heaven, I wish not for an existence
distinct from any other star. I desire
to be simply one in the galaxy, the
Milky way of heaven, adding a little
to the splendor, but not discernible as
a separate individual.
What you learn from bad habits and
in bad society you will never forget,
and it will be lasting pang to you.
I will tell you in all sincerity, not in
the excitement of speech, that I would
give my right hand if I could forget
that which I learned la bad society.

It's beneath a woman's dignity to keep

A girl who has been bridesmaid four

to another until the moment for departure g

made that the trunk is not looked, the a

TOILET SUGGESTIONS. ' a
Hints From a Beauty Doctor That Will y

Freckles are due to an excess or coloring v

caused by on excess of iron In the bldod. t

A paste composed of vlDegar, honey and o
bitter almonds is said to be good for re* ^

As a general thing the, blood is not re- i
sponsible for the different blemishes which r
appear on the face. Dirt gets into the t
pores of the skin, and the result lean erup- b
tion of some sort. < f
Pimples should be opened with a needle i
or sharp knife, the secretion squeezed out
and a lotion or a wineglass 01 strong vine- r
gar, two ounces of glycerin and half a t
pint of distilled water applied.
For people troubled with moist or oily 1
skin, a hot soapsuds bath once a week is a
recommended, using castile soap, as it is. t
of a drying nature. Bay rum and camphor d
may be used by such persons, as they, dry
the oil >, somewhat, when the camphor
would parch other complexions. The opium
found in the stems of flowering lettuce t
refines the skin and absorbs the oil. Bub a
the milky juice oollected from broken t
stems of garden lettuce over the face at t
night, allowiug it to dry on. - J
Wrinkles depend on the attenuation of
the skin and the reduction in bulk of the *
underlying surfacial portions of the body, a
They are not a disease, but are the results *
of worry, grimaoes, poor health, etc. a

The Improvement whioh bad been noted In
tbe morning continued the whole day, so
that the members of the family felt their
hopes revive. The doctors seem to have
been rather skeptical, but Mme, Duma*
and tbe daughters of the celebrated writer
were overjoyed.
The patient was oheerful and smiling,
fie even joked, and had, in the morning,
turned everybody out of the room by an
affectionate rebuke. He said: "This la
really too much. What are you all doing,
sitting about in my room? It is really extraordinary.
Cannot I be left alone in my
own apartment? My children, you really
take advantage of my good nature."
They were all going out, but be oalled
them back again, smiling, and everybody
laughed with him. At noon,, however, he
sent them to tbe dining room for break*
fast and asked for a ciip of tea for himself.
Ashe bad done in the early morning,
he took the cup in both hands and drank
the tea without any difficulty. Mme. Dumas
trembled with mingled joy and fear;
she dared not believe in what seemed so
extraordinary an improvement.
It was close upon 7 o'clock when the
change occurred; the patient suddenly experienced
two successive nervous tremors,
and fell back dead in the doctor's arms.?

It Does Make a Difference.
In Monster recently a man received
three years' penal servitude for attempting
to poison his wife by administering to her
sulphate of zino in whisky. At Leeds a
woman was'oondemned to 20 years' penal
servitude for attempting to murder her husband
by administering poison in his food.
It is certainly dlffioult to account for this
vast difference in the punishment in two
suoh similar cases, and a lady correspond- c
ent insinuates that to the woman were c
given SO years because the judges, being i
men, naturally regard the orime as more c
