The tower, or something else, of the State House in Columbia, affords abundant themes tor discussion, and it seems that some folks are determined not to be satisfied. "Expert" testimony on some subjects, that of medicine, for instance, Is worth very little, but it seems to us that a little horse sense ougbt to determine some things. The presumption ougbt to be tbat the tower is safe. But wben there is either reason, or disposition, to find fault, we can all Bee spooks. The United States government expert says that tne tower is safe. And now Governor Heyward is criticised for employing him. Tbe Greenville Mountaineer compliments two home experts and thinks tbat tbey, or one of them, ougbt j to have been employed. Abbeville could fur-1 nlsb an architect in whose judgment we could ail rely. We refer to Mr. B. K. Beacb-j am. Editor auci tteutleiunu. Zach McGhee, editor and gentleman, bas resigned bis position on the Spartanburg Herald. It is not stated wbat be will do or where be will land, but be is worthy and well qualified for tbe best position on any newspaper. ? Joking. Grover Cleveland's name appears in r number of papers as their cboice or as the probable choice of tbe Nominating Convention as a Presidential candidate. Such a proposition seems like a Joke. II there is a mau in our acquaintance who either wants him or believes that be could be eleoted, we do not recollect to have heard him so express himself.

Fatal Fourth. Peter Percbin in Southern Farm Magazine of! Baltimore for July: Three days after la6t Fourth of July tbe results of tbat celebration were summarized Incompletely as follows : Dead 52 iDjured 3,665 Fire loss WOO,625 The Injuries were divided as follows: Fireworks 1170 Skyrockets 206 Cannon 319 Firearms 562 Toy pistols 559 Gunpowder 768 Runaways 81 There were probably 200 persons killed and 5000 injured. The pu bllcatlon of tbe figures led to agitation for a quiet and harmless Fourth. This agitation reached in Chicago the point of a plan for a celebration under city auspices, with fire engine, ambulances and flret aid to the injured devices convenient to tbe oelebrants. This plan, however, has fallen through, and one may expect the usual list Of fatalities. accidents and Iokrps Thp only way to suppress the foolishness of July Fourth 1b to suppress the sale of explosives to children, whether they be 14 years old or 40.

Several weeks ago the department of j agriculture began its first experiment in roadbuilding at New Brunswick, N. J., under the direction of E. B. Harrison, special agent of the office of load inquiry. The model road being considered 1b the first of several which the government is to build at the various experiment stations throughout the country. The government furnishes 4 rock crusher, screen, engine to drive steam roller, spreading wagon and road grading maohine and two skilled operators. The 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 nsed in the substructure of the road. The superstructure is obtained from the traprock deposits in the neighborhood of Plainfield and the Oranges. The model pavement will have a depth of abont nine inches and the foundation be made of small, wedge shaped, broken stones of as nearly the same dimensions as possible. The roadbed will be prepared by thoroughly rolling with a steam roller weighing about ten tons. Every hole will be carefully filled with the same material that composes the rest of the roadbed, and the finished cross section will be formed by two grades of one foot in SO feet from the sides, uniting at the center, with the apex slightly rounded.- Four inches of ornshed stone will be spread on the carefully prepared roadbed to form the foundation of the substructure. The largest of these stones will be crushed bo fine as to be able 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 ? ? * 1 a+nnn ia r>?11 w ol i ah tlrf H1 fltilfhfld until liiO DbUUU ?o WiiAj by the teams returning with the empty carts. The first foundation is not made deeper than four inches, beoause 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 sprinkled, a second coat of similar stone three inches in tbiokness will be applied. After the stone has been well "bonded" to this extent it will again be sprinkled, and while very wet a thin coating of traprock screenings will be most carefully spread over the surface, just thick enough to fill the small 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 thia stage, it will be left untouched in " 3 " Mwanti/tohla In cue ary state us iuug no ^muv?iu? ? harden and bind. The application of water and the passage of vehicles will be prevented as long as practicable. As the work progresses Mr. E. B. Harrison, who is directing the work for the department of agriculture, Will de, liver lectures explaining the process of laying the road. Rutgers college students in the agricultural department and farmers will be invited to attend the lectures and witness the work. General Grant Favored Good Boads. Nearly 20 years ago General Grant, in enumerating necessary lines of public imprcvements, 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' famous ride to the battle of Oedaz Creek: "Sheridan, if that battle had taken place after a prolonged rain and there bad not been a good pike from ' Winohester, you would never have been promoted to the head of the United States army. You would not have reached the battlefield to oheer your men, and there would have Deen 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 the Road Dry. F. A. Dunham, who has been prominently identified with the farfamed system of modern highways of New Jersey, (it 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 pul together. Nothing is more fatal to durability than the drainage of the road* bed, 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 Eamj. Good roads are about the easiest thing In the world to make, onoe undertaken, but about the hardest thing there is to 1 get officials to take hold of.? Parkers> bug (W. Va.) SentineL l . Wheel Tracks. Aocording to the statement of the president of the Missouri Good Roads association, the people of that stats spent $490,000 daring 1806 for road improvement, while it cost them just )600,000 for roads supervisors. In oth. er words, it cost the state $1,080,000 t during the year for $490,000 worth of | road improvement. T- hor? nra Ad.
