The Press and Banner. By W. W. and W. R, Bradley. HUGH WILSON, Editor. ABBEVILLE, S. C. c *#-Pnblished every Wednesdp at 82 a year In advance. Wednesday, June 29,1904. Why HLate Candid nteN are Unopposed. For the flrst time since reconstruction days candidates for all State offices are without opposition except a* to Railroad Commissioner, whose term Is lour or six years. This is an anomalous state of affairs, and has been the subject of much comment by the press generally. No doubt the present State officers are as competent ana obliging as could be found; granting tbls, it is still a question whether or not this explains the absence of opposition. Undoubtedly there are men In the State, who, barring their lack of experience, would make as good officers. The reason then must be soneht elsewhere. There is a deep seated conviction Id tbe minds of the voters of the State that au officer whose^term Is only for two years, and who has pesformed his duty faithfully and capably should be endorsed for a second term. So completely has this view of the matter taken hold of the minds of the people, thai without exception, State officers have been allowed to succeed themselves for a second term. It appears that this Idea is founded in right. Unquestionably the man of experience, other things being equal, is best qualified to look after the people's Interests, and while he is not thereby entitled to a lile tenure, he should at least be allowed time to get some substantial good out of the place. Tbe present system of canvassing the State lsvery expensive and the officer who enjoys only one term of two years, after deducting campaign expenses gels little more than a support during his term. It may be suggested that we might as well make all terms four years. This is unnecessary, as the people, who are usually right, take the proper view of the situation, and extend this courtesy to their deserving servants, while they retain the privilege of disposing of those who have been unfaithful, after two years of service. This safeguard is entirely proper and the rewarding of faithful services li no less proper. i Removing the Landmarks to Build Finer Homes. VarlouB good men of Abbeville have recently built handsome homes, and others are actively engaged In the same good work. Dr L. T. Hill Is Just removing the old hous< which has stood on the corner for a century, but which did not shelter him for quite so long a time. The removal oi the old hous? which was partly rock, partly logs, and partly hewed or sawed timber, uncovers as prettj a home as one could wish to see. It Is hoped that he and his family may live long and be happy to the end. ' Capt. L. W. White has recently razed ont of the oldest houses In town, and on the lol he is erecting a splendid mansion, which wili be an ornament to the town, a joy to thf household and a pride to him who stands si fair with the people, and whose career meriu a large share of the good things of earth. A little higher up Main Street Dr. G. A. Neuffer is building a home In which any family might well be glad to live. Its elevated lot. Its high ceilings, its broad piazzas, and lu wide balls will make It a most dellghtlul home In which to live. If splendid homes bring happiness Abbe vllle was never as happy as It Is now. In the future It will be superlatively blessed. 813,000. The Supreme Court has confirmed the judgment of the Circuit Court of Abbeville In the case of R. A. Rlcbey against the Southern Railway. The verdict was for 512,000 for dam ages sustained by plalntifl In Greenville while In the employ of the plaintiff. Mr. Rlohey has had ezcltlog and thrilllDg expe riences. None oome quite bo near a fatality as the last engagement with a locomotive which sent Its rods In unusual directions, ami which In their gyrations inflicted personal Injuries which the court deemed serious, and from which Mr. Rlchey may never recover. Mr. Rlchey will receive a handsome sum of money. While the money cannot beai wounds, yet it can keep a man In his old age free from the care and anxiety Incident to earning one's daily bread. A Picnic at Knpley Shoals. There will be a picnic at Rapley Shoals July 4th, The public Is cordially Invited to come and bring well filled baskets. Deatb of a Little Child. Christiana Dell la, the little five months old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. K. Ellin died June 24, 1904. When the little baby was about two weeks old her mother died and she was left In the care of her father and sister. Sbe seemed to be Id perteot health until, about two weeks before ehe died, she was taken very sick and all tbat a skilled physician, loving father and sister and kind friends could do for her was done, but to no avail. On Friday morning about six o'clock deatb came to relieve the little sufferer and her spirit returned to the God who gave it. The funeral services were conducted at her home Friday evening by Rev. J. C. Shive and her remains were laid to rest in hoDg Cane Cemetery. Dear father, weep not for the little babe, bnt try to realize that It Is better for her to await a father there, Than to be here on earth without a mothei's care. One precious to our hearts has gone, The voice we loved Is stilled, The place made vacant In our home, Can never more be filled, Our Father in bis wisdom called, The boon his love bad given. But though on earth her body lies, Her soul Is sale, with mother dear In heaven. L. S. Miss Marie DnBosp Seabrook.

Lectures T>y an Experts Several works ago tLo department of agriculture began its first experiment in roadbuilding at New Brunswick, K. J., under the direction of E. B. I Harrison, special agent of the office of foad inquiry. The model road being considered is the first of several which tho government is to build at the various experiment stations throughout the country, j The government furnishes a rock crusher, screen, engine to drivo steam roller, spreading wagon and road grading machine and two skilled operators. Tho city furnishes the material, carta and laborers. The road will be of macadam pattern. An inferior grade of traprock is found in abundance near New Brunswick and this is being used in the substructure of the road. The superstructure is obtained from the traprock deposits in the neighborhood of Plainfield and the Oranges. Tho model pavement will have a depth of about nine inches and the foundation be made of small, wedge shaped, broken stones of as nearly tho samo dimensions as possible. The roadbed will bo prepared by thoroughly rolling with a steam roller weighing about ten tons. Every hole will be carefully filled with tho samo material that composes the rest of the roadbed, and the finished cross section will be formed by two grades of one foot in 30 feet from the sides, uniting at the center, with the apex slightly rounded. Four inches of crushed stone will be spread on the carefully prepared roaaoea 10 iorm iae foundation of the substructure. The largest of these stones will be crushed so fine as to be ablo to easily pass through a two inch ring, and the smallest will be about half an inch in diameter. This foundation will then be sprinkled, making the stone as wet as possible without softening the roadbed, and the roller passed over it a few times until the stone isonly slightly disturbed by the teams returning with the empty caxtB. The first foundation is not made deeper than four inches, because it has been found that a greater thickness causes the stones to "elbow" together, wearing off their sharp corners, making the "bonding," which is the great desideratum, a very slow process, if not an impossibility. When the first foundation has been thoroughly epriukled, a second coat of Bimilar stone three inches in thickness will be applied. Aftor the etono has been well "bonded" to this extent it will again ue epriiiKit'u, mliu wmiu vci; ?cu a thin coating of traprock screenings will be most carefully spread over the surface, just thick enough to fill the Email spaces between the stones. The size of the stones of this last application, which is called in the parlance of roadbuilding the "binder," will be from half an inch in diameter to the finest dust. When the work has reached this stage, it will be left untouched in the dry state as long p.s practicable to harden and bind. The application of water and the passage of vehicles will be prevented as long as practicable. As the work proeresses Mr. E. B. Harrison, who is directing the work for the department of agriculture, Will deliver lectures explaining the process of laying the road. Kutgers college students in the agricultural department formoni toi'1 1 ho invifprJ tn attend the lectures and witness the work. General Grant Favored Good Roads. Nearly 20 years ago General Grant, in enumerating necessary lines of public improvements, named the publio schools and highways. Once, when he and General Sheridan were in a reminiscent mood, the old commander said to "Little Phil,'' speaking of the latter'a famous ride to tbo battle of Cedai Creek: "Sheridan, if that battle had taken place after a prolonged rain and there had not been a good pike from Winchester, you would never have been promoted to the head of the United Statesarmy. You would not havereached the battlefield to cheer your men, and there would have been a great defeat for the Union forces instead of a great victory. That would have left Meade and Thomas a long distance ahead of you in the line of promotion." ?New York Tribune. Keep tlie Road Dry. F. A. Dunham, who has been prominently identified with the farfamed system of modern highways of New Jersey, at a meeting of the Connecticut Valley Highway association, stated that poor material well put together can be made to produce better results than first class material carelessly put together. Nothing is more fatal to du rability than the drainage of the roadbed, and more particularly the subdrainage, which is often neglected. A macadam road cannot be left to itself after a completion, bat needs constant supervision. Both Hard and Easy. Good roads are about the easiest thing in the world to make, once undertaken, but about the hardest thing there Is to get officials to take hold of.?Parkersburg (W. Va.) Sentinel. " Wheel Tracks. According to the statement of the president of the Missouri Good Roads association, the people of that state BDent i490.000 durine 1896 for road improvement, while it cost them just $600,000 for roads supervisors. In other words, it cost the state $1,090,000 during the year for $490,000 worth of road improvement. In France there are ,44,000 miles of first class roads built by the government, and about an equal number of miles have been built by the different departments, as well as thousands of miles built by smallei divisions.
