We are told in tbe Bible that certain per* L< son* blew down the solid walla (we preaume of brlok and atone) of Jerlcbo by aim ply tbe blowing of ram's horns. Tbe statement of Mr* Montloello Smith la atlll more wonderfal. Although Mr. Smith bad secured forty thona* and pald-op-in-advanoe subscribers to hla pa. per, yet evil speaking people In all parta of the ooootiy bad the power to stop work on bis building, atop the runningof his Webb per- , \l . looting press, and stop hla great progress on the ratd lo fortune and tome. The Jerlco inoldent la dlsooanted ten to on?. , The atatement that forty thousand gudg- i eons had been found to pay a dollar for hla paper la the aatonianing thing to ua. One band red name* went from this section, to ai) of whom we offer oondolenoe for their loss In ; I not receiving the fall number of ooples. | Let Mr. 8mlUi be not discouraged. A man of hla ability cannot be held down., "Troth 1 croahed to earth will rise again," and so It , ; will be with Mr. Smith. A gentua of hla call,.ber possessing bla energy will, like troth, rla* again. Mr. Smith has a future before him. , > He.wBlyetbe rich.

Th? oUy was Is a blue of glory and the 1S: people went into hysterias. , - The hell was to he carried through the principle street* in a special vsblole, drawn b> thirteen horses. The people gathered^ along the proposed roue In great oambers. Some men, as a mark of gladness, were ready to ;';v .< stand on their heads, and several women oon* tern plated fits as the old bell would pass. ' Bat the bell deellned to leave the ear, and was ryV carried to ice Exposition aa orainary ireigmTba people were greatly disappointed at tbe failure of an opportunity to show their proJbond reepeci and admiration for tne historic b? . relic, which, of lata baa taken to tonrlng the country.

It will only be a question of a fcw years :V. when the ground in tbe eolton mill village t will be polluted and the water in the snrfaot [ well* will become uu wbolesome or injurious t to health. The bealthfulnees of the mill village will call lor pure wate?, and the neoessl- j tiee oftbe elty may require a greater sopply a *1 for water purpofee*. We are only talking, and not urging any c thing. We have no personal feelings in tbe / matter. If tbe suggestion Is a good one tbe 1 change* in tbe times and the suooesaion J I'll among men will bring about tbe alteration. ? If it It Dot good, u>eo tbe change should not . be made. !

If be thinks bis Legislator* coo id be boogbt by a ftee ticket or thereby - induced to be Jake to tbelr trust, then be aboold by all means approve it, however, he tbinka hit Legislators are honest and in* corruptible, then be should veto it. He la better able to alae np tbe law-maker* than we are, and so we leave tbe matter en tlrely to tola eatunate of tbe honesty or dlsHonoaty of tbe Legialators. I - ?

The report of Manager John .Lyon was read, and waa regarded as a good showing. It was j the sense of the meeting that no effort be i made to pay any dividend until the ont i standing debts were paid. President Blake made no charge for bis services, and Manager ( Lyon was satisfied with very reasonable pay j for his services. > . It Is tboogbt the debts will sll be paid by . first of next year.

JAMES FULLER LYON. [ His Removal to Colombia, Abbe file Losaqi a Good All Round Clt1MB. Judge J. F. Lyon has gone to Columbia, and taken a dobIUoq as Clerk in the office of State Treasurer Jennings. In bis going Abbeville au loataoitlzen wbo baa served as well In many ways. Of the person of Mr. James Fuller Lyon, might be written an interesting story, if we Qaa ail the dates and all tbe fact*. As a young man, be was patriotic, and entered tbe military service of tbe Conlederacy. His efflsieooy. his fidelity to duty, bis qualities if head and heart, pointed blm out as a proper loldler for promotion from tbe ranks. Ue was accordingly elected, or appointed, Lieutenant In Company H, 19tb 8. C. Volunteers, tnd it was while in the discharge of a soldier's highest duty, that be lost an arm before Atlanta in 1864. Disabled for life, be came home ind commenced tbe struggle for bread, in tbe community from wblcb be left. He worked on tbe farm, In tbe ?-aw mill, and elsewhere until 1870, when the Democratic hoHts were Drganlzed in this county. In councils of tbe men who were to lead In tbe impending revolution, men of energy, high character, Influence, and courage were desired from each action of the county. As tbe leader from Verdery section tbey chose Mr. Jxmes Fuller Lyon, who had been brave In war and true Id peace. He was selected not only because ???? to laari hnt. beaause i)i u 18 pensuum wun>tv . 0/bis determination, aDd tbezeal with which be worked at whatever be undertook. When the campaign was organized and every man expected to do ble duty, it wag necessary io nominate officers <br the Democratic ticket that would bring tbe victory and spread confusion in tbe ranks of tbose who unjustly beld tbe reigns of power. Mr. Lyon was again put forward. Tbls time u candidate lor Probate Judge. To bim as much as to any otber individual was tbe county Indebted for success. In turn, be made a most excellent Judge oi Probate. Tbe people re elected blm to tbat office some eight times?or until be bad beld tbe office for' eighteen years. In bis time tbe Probate lodge was elected every two year?, instead or every four years, as now. Tbe Ireqoent reelections is a trtbnt?of confidence and goodwill, wnicb we believe has not been so often paid to any otber man in tbls Conntv. No man in tbls county ever beld offioafor a longer consecutive term of years, me nearest approaoh to It was tbat of William Hill, who eld It for seventeen years, and until tbe^ Radloals ousted everybody. During Mr. Lyon's official term be studied 1 law and was admitted to tbe Bar, of which be (rasa member at tbe time be left Abbeville, At Abbeville Judge Lvon was always an ao-1 tlve member iot tbe Methodist oburcb, and Tor years be was considered a leader among ibe brethren. He was lay delegate to various meetings of tbe Conference where bis ability was recognized by tbe presiding Bishop. wh< pnt blm on tbe Committee for adjusting slalms of superannuates. He was made dl* Durslng officer, and Inaugurated practical and equitable methods of discharging tbat work. He was one of tbe originators of tbe eflori to build a new bouse of worship for tbe Metb rflstsat this place, and no man could claim greater credit for tbe stroctore which will itand many a .day as a monument to tbe jbrlstian spirit and the liberality of tbatoon* {rogation. For a Quarter of a century Judge Lyon g?v* to Abbeville bla best service in office, in tbe sbarch, and as a good cltlren whose influence was always on tbe right side of all moral or religious questions. As a citizen be loved tbe borne of bis adop* Hon, and was ever ready in word and deed to rive support to every laudable enterprise, rbla was especially demonstrated In bis sublorlptlon to tbe capital stock of tbe Abbeville Cotton Mill. ' " As a Confederate soldier be took the most utive part la ail thai advanced tbe welfare >f Uroee who fougbt tbeir country's battle*. He was Colonel or tbe Abbeville County Enjampment from' its organization until tbe areseni lime. As Commandan t of tbe Camp, and as memMr of tbe pension board, be served tbe best lotereeta of tbe old soldiers with fidelity and ffectlveness, while guarding tbe best Inter wts of tbe State. He took a leading part In tbe erection of tbe irater works of tbe town. In school matters be was for many years be moving spirit,and to him. as much as to iny otber jpan are we Indebted for tbe aplenlid soboon>aildlng of which Abbeville is mo iroad today. Few men ever moved to any oommnnlty. tnd served It in more ways than has Judge Lyon ha* served Abbeville daring the last wen ty-flve years. He has been a good eltlten; ns baa made his impress npon the slty; in all that tended to the advancement >f that whcb was good for Abbeville be baa teen a flactlr. In no single Instance baa he >een derelot when matters of pobllo lmporance were being considered. ' TBOT'S TOPICS. ' Mwiiar PsracranhR From k Wide Awake Correspondent.* . Troy, 8. C., Jan. 18,1902.

A highly important featnw of the highways question is the effect good or bad roads have upon the local market* and their eonrces of supply, says the New York Tribune. In all the cities and large towns of the state there is a demand for farm products and for the bulkier and heavier products, such as hay and straw and grain. In many cases the surrounding country is quite capable of supplying that demand; in all oases it should do so as far as possible; in most cases it does not. Instead, supplies are brought in by rail or canal from far away, perhaps from other states; while at the same time, within a few miles of the market tuna supplied, are farms that have been abandoned as not worth working and others whose owners are in chronio discontent and despair at the apparent impossibility of getting profitable prices for their crops. The big farms of the west, they say, monopolize the markets, and so farming here, no longer pays. Now, one prime secret of the trouble lies in the bad roads, which keep the producer and the oonsumer apart by making it difficult, if not impossible, for the farmers to get their produce to market. The farmer 1,000 miles away oan get his crops to market by rail of canal more easily and more cheaply than the farmer only ten miles away can haul bia in over roads that are so billy and rough and miry that half a ton is a heavy load for a horse to draw at a slow footpace. . It is not that farms in the east are no longer productive, nor that the eastern market no longer offers fair prices. It .'is that the roads between the farms and the markets are ao bad as to make shipment nnpiofitabla Good roads throughout the farming regions adjacent to the cities and towns would do more than anything else to restore prosperity to the farmers, enabling them to get their goods to the best possible market easily, promptly and* cheaply. Good roads would mean good farms, good markets, good prices and good times for all oonoerned. MONTANA HIGHWAYS. iMMkt Law* Provide For Their Systematic Improvement. The highways of Montana, by a bill passed by the state legislature, are placed in the charge of the county sur veyor, and the old office of road supervisor, usually held by an inexperienced man, is abolished. The act defines the powers and duties of county surveyors and provides for their compensation. By this act each of these officers is required to keep the highways in hia oounty clear of obstruction and in 'good repair and maintain bridges, to make all plans and specifications for new roads and bridges, to report to the oounty commissioners on all work completed, and if the work ia done aooording to the plana, specifications and contract he is to draw his vouchers for the same I before payment is made. The cowtty surveyor ia chairman of all boards of viewers of roads, keepa the recorde d .road surveys and ia the general superintendent of all roads.' He j may employ labor, teams, eta, and bai power to contract for all work not ex ceading $200 in cost. For larger amounts the approval of a majority of the board of county commissioners is required. The salary received varies with the olass of county, from $760 to $2,000 per year. Viewers and all assistants of the county surveyor - may not receive mare than $8 per day. ROADS THAT ARE NEEDED. Henry Wat tenon's Ides It That they Be Local, Not National. Henry Watterson takes issue with a good roadB advocate who insists that the general government should have oharge of road making?that there should be national highways built and maintained at pnblio expense. The good roads that are needed, says the Chicago Times-Herald, those that are most needed, in the language of TOnAVO 4V?ADA fhof ' 'lon/1 VVlUUCi Tfaurayiouuf iuu luvoo uiu? avhu from the farm to the railroad, the mill, the factory, the sehool, the ohuroh, the ferry and the market." This apt remark of Colonel Watterson is a condensation, a simplification, an absolutely plain presentation of what is most wanted in the matter of good roads. Carry ont that idea, and what will be wanting? It will meet the requirements of the farmer; it will save the farming element hundreds of mil* lions of dollars every year; it will meet the expectations of the pleasure seeker; it will add to the valne of every foot of land in the country; it will be of value to every merchant and every profession* al man; it will be a source of pleasure and profit to ail classes, in all communities. A Muddy Rood. One day this week, as a teamster was slowly working his way through the anacmire commonly known as a ooun ty road between the (Jammings hill and Fossil, he espied a hat in one of the nits in front, of him. As the headgear appeared to be in fairly good condition he dismounted to pick it up. Ai he raised the hat he was astonished to hear a voice coming from under it exclaim: "Hold on! That's my hat!" As soon as he had gathered his breath and wits the teamster asked, "What are you doing down there?" Which brought forth the reply: "I'm in big luok to be where I am. There's a horse underneath me."?Fossil (Or.) Journal. Worth Remembering. The community with the best ropds is yexy likely to be the best community. A narrow tire will dig a rut, but a good broad tire will roll it shut. The depth of a road is more to be dreaded than its length. The state of the road tells the size of the load. Haddon'f* Local'*.
