The above represents the divisic of the traveled places in this Stat according to a decision of the Si preme Court. A good many of tt /./Mintiac 5n tho fitafo of thl<3 qpssid of the General Assembly have aske for authority to issue bonds to buil and establish good roads. The built ing of good roads is still an exper ment. In populous cities, the prol Jem has been solved by the constru tion of paved streets, but in the corn try districts, which are too sparsel settled to bear this expense, the que tion is still an unsolved problen We lavor the issue of reasonabl amounts of bonds for public pu poses, where the purposes are not e: perimental, but have been proved 1 be of lasting benefit. But, we woul advise our neighbors in the oth( counties to go slow in the matter < bonds for good roads. Instead of i: suing a million of dollars in bond: we would prefer to issue fifty thoi sand dollars, and construct a fe1 miles of road as an experiment, an wait five years on the result. A del of a million dollars, or of half thi amount, on posterity, with no las ing results will be ten-fold wors than the railroad bonds issued in R< nnKlirtin Hava for ruilrnada whip were never built. Abbeville count should therefore profit by the exp< rience of our neighbors and await th results of their experiments befor rushing into this bonding business. In the meantime, we have som suggestions to make as to good road in this county. We believe that w can build good roads without a bon issue. It will cost some money, bu it c?n be done. Public highways a v defined by the Supreme Court ar those roads which connect towns c which connect two other public road and there should be but one betweei two towns or public roads. Thes should be easily located in Abbevill county. On these roads alone shouli the Supervisor work the convicts mi _ ii . i i ? xnese roaas serve tne general puDii and should be worked by the con victs, and supported by a general ta: on the property of the county, sucl as the one mill tax which we nov levy. If the convicts be kept 01 these roads at all seasons of the year and if the roads be widened to thirty feet and have sand and clay thor oughly mixed as the roads are built in a year or two these roads will bi in good shape. By dividing forces these roads could be easily scraped dragged, or oiled, in a day or two ^^ajj? we would escape the condition: with which we have been confronte( during the last few weeks. Public toads are those roads whicl lead from some community to a pub lie road. The county should hav< nothing to do with such roads, bu the public of that community shouh take charge of these roads. The roa< ' law should require five days work o five dollars commutation tax, am the money from each townshi] should be returned to that township and be expended by a committee, o board, from that township, in keep ing up the community roads, such a are public (used in common bv all ii the community). In addition to thi tax, there should be a license on al vehicles to be likewise distributed Each wagon and each buggy shoult pay annually a license of one dollar and each automobile should pay int< the county a license of one per cen on the original cost of the vehicle The license from wagons and buggie should go to the community, or town ship, where the owner resides, an< the automobile tax should be ex pended on the public highways. There will be objection to this, o course, but we must not expect bene fits without paying the price. It wil seem unjust to some to pay a vehicl< tax, but it is not. Mr. James F Clinkscales, of the Monterey sectioi of the county, pays his one mill roa< tax on some four thousand acres c ( land, amounting to a considerabl snm and Wfi dflrfi Sflv that, hp hnan* a tenant on his lands, who does no own a vehicle, and travel the road more than Mr. Clinkscales, and ye he pays practically nothing unde the one mill tax levy. Why shouli * not such men bear some of the bur dens of taxation ? For the same rea son the commutation tax must be in creased, if we are ever to expect any thing in the way of roads. Nearl; all the towns and cities levy a tax c from two to five dollars on each mai liable thereto, ana several of the otli er counties do so. The old law w believe required six days work, an six days' work would now be wort something like six dollars. The pre posed road tax of five dollars then fore should seem small to the ma who travels the roads at all. The public has no interest in pr vate ways,?roads leading from puf lie highways and public roads to se tlements where only two or th? families reside, These should t - ? i ivi in - i a i _ worked by the individuals interested * and not by the public. ? Finally, the laying out of newj roads by the county supervisor orj _ county commissioners should be strictly forbidden. A practice has grown up in this county, for which no supervisor is more responsible than another, of constantly opening new roads. Half of the time of the r convicts and half of the money of the county is spent, we imagine, in opening, working, and keeping up these roads, intended to benefit only a few 5. individuals. Whenever a few voters can get up a petition for a public road, it has been the custom to open it, and when this has been done in in one place, we concede the right of e, othei people to demand the same faj vors. The result is that Abbeville le county now has about twenty-five in hundred miles of public roads, with d none of them properly worked ; and d proper work never will be done on i- them under present practices. The delegation in the General As> sembly, or the Grand Jury, should c_ therefore declare what roads arp publie highways, and the delegation i' should require the Supervisor to s* work only these highways with the convicts and general tax. The right 'e to lay out new roads or to work them r" should be taken from the Supervisor. No discretionary duty should be im0 posed on an elective officer as long as < men are human. The boards in the ;r different townships should appoint an overseer, or overseers, according 3- to the ancient custom of working Si roads, and call out the men liable to i- road duty and work the public roads, w employing other men with such d funds as are paid into the county >t treasury for the several townships, i* With some additions and amendt ments perhaps from those morecom* petent to talk on the subject than I J- am, I believe this general system will h be of great assistance to the people of y the county if adopted. As Court is J- soon to convene and the grand jury, if drawn from all parts of the county, 1 * will be with us (and the present grand jury is an unusually able and < conservative body of men) we suggest to them that they take this plan e and anv other plan into considera- : d tion, and let us try to evolve from ii the mass some system that will give us present and lasting relief from the i * bad, roads we are having, and keep 1 r us from mortgaging (by issuing i f bonds) t t^e birthright of our children. I ? ________ < 1 < THE HOG ORDINANCE/ I Unless the City Council calls a . ^ meeting and repeals the hog ordi_ nance at once, the people of the town j should demand the removal of Couni( cil itself as a public and continuing ^ nuisance. It is undoubtedly true j n that there are a half dozen property j , owners in town who own large lote, ' widely separated from their neighbors where hogs might be raised without becoming too objectionable ^ J to the public; and it is prohable that . this might be done without endan- , ' gering the public health, though we ) do not admit it. There are some ( ^ people in the town who will take . j the utmost care to keep the pens in as "sanitary condition" as a hog pen * ^ ever was. But we cannot lay down ^ the gap to this evil; at least w<- ? should not do so. It will not do to ^ t say that there is no danger because ^ j one has raised hogs all his life, and | j never had typhoid. A man might as ( well argue that the Germans have no ^ j bullets in their rifles because a , Frenchman went into battle and j didn't get shot. We have heard the , ? argument in some quarters that the , city water was not pure and that it was safer to drink well water. For ^ many years some of our citi zens hav done this. They had as good reason j to claim the purity of well water, as others have to say that hogs are not j dangerous. They had never had ty. phoid. But while they slept the ^ wolf came last summer. This town j had an epidemic of typhoid, and not , a case of it was found that could not g be accounted for on the theory of im- , pure water. We believe this is cor- 1 j rect. No person who drank city wa- , ter exclusively had typhoid, we believe. It was a rude awakening to | f some of us. 1 , j. In these matters, we can well af- i 1 ford to follow the advice and theories ] e of the great men of the medical pro- < fession. We should listen to them, j 0 A little rope here and there, and the i j town will soon be full of hogs. Peo- i ,f pie in one part of town will feel that e they are discriminated against; and i t license here and there to raise hogs j 1 A ? -?1CM /^Uam *\o nf . t out HlVIltSj peupie m uiua |jaiio ui t s the town to break and disregard the 1 t law. i r There is but one safe course in this f j matter. There is no ''sanitary" hog 1 - pen; and there are no sanitary hogs, i The City Council should not-make it- \ . self ridiculous. Hogs must be driven .1 >. from the city, or else we will have t y them rooting even on Confederate I >f Square. < Q We believe that the ordinance was | [. passed at a meeting when only seven I e members of Council were present. ] d This should not have been the case. < h A matter of this importance demands the presence of every member of the j. Council. Mr. McMillan was absent n and so was Mayor Gambrell. How they would have voted we do not i_ know. We understand that the vote y. was three to four. The other two votes might have changed the result. 3e When Mr. McMillan was Mayor of ___v_r; -yy,.y-v.:", : v ..'v hogs were forbidden in the city. We suppose that he has had no reason to change his ground; but if he has, he should express his views in a public meeting of Council and go on record. Mayor Gambrell is a doctor. We take it that he will not say that the opinions of the leading men of his profession are wrong, and that the profession is a fraud on the public; unless he is prepared to so state, he should call a meeting of Council, as early as all members can be had, and ask and vote for a repeal of this iniquitous ordinance. THE NEW SIDEWALK. , Commenting on our suggestion that Grtenville street needs another side* 1- - ? ?? A/* 4t>/\ walk, in oraer to accomiijuuubc mc school children and general public, and that Mr. Stark and Chief Justice G^ry will likely be willing to donate the necessary land, our Brother Horton has the following to say: "We know now why Mr. Greene went into the newspaper business. He wants to make Mr. Stark and Chief Justice Gary give up some of their valuable property just to make a sidewalk. Greenville street only needs a sidewalk on one side of the street as very few people live in that part of the suburbs, and if it wasn't for the fact that the "Buy Now, Pay t b-inor livpc nn Ornenville uaici A?U^ w ? street, they wouldn't need a sidewalk at all. Brother Horton kicks before he is spurred. We merely made a suggestion that the gentlemen named would likely be as patriotic as their neighbors who had already given necessary sidewalks in other parts of the town, and stated the necessity of another sidpwalk on Greenville street. We have no idea that we will "make" either of these gentlemen "give" anything to the town, but we have a definite idea as to the duty of the town, in case either refuses to give or sell on reasonable terms, and we shall insist on that idea for sometime to come unless the sidewalk is forthcoming. But we had no idea that this suggestion would cause Brother Horton to go into a conniption. In fact it has not been so 1( ng ago that Brother Horton himself was about to do something for Abbeville. His coming was heralded as the coming ot a great city-builder. We had some doubt at the time about a man from Williamston building a city much larger than New York, nevertheless as he entered triumphantly, we gave him the right hand of fellowship, and the city handed him the hammer and saw. Brother Horton commenced well. He purchased an established newspapar, and bedecked its title page with this laconic inscription, "Pull for Abbeville, or Pull Out." That sounded a little rank for one who lad never been on Greenville street, aut we watched and waited. Well, Brother Horton at once gave to his eaders a good newspaper. He en' ' * ' " il?A aeavorea to give mem an me ucwo, aut so far as our memory runs, we have not heard yet that he has done much "pulling for Abbeville." Now, we thought he was >nly getting ready, and we had an dea that when some one had somehing to propose that was to the in:erest of the public, Brother Horton ivould be there with his team to do some "pulling." We were somewhat surprised, therefore, when (obeying the Biblical injunction to get the beam out of our own eye first), we suggested that the inexcusable condition of Greenville street be remedied, to find Brother Horton on hand, riot to "pull for Abbeville, but "pulling" lor Brother Stark and Chief Justice Gtary. Brother Horton advances three arguments against the new sidewalk: First. Mr. Stark and Chief Justice Gary. Second. That the lot* of these gentlemen are valuable. Third. That the sidewalk is not needed. ' IITA rtUrtll twav IA onaivor 111 HA. VYC suail ItlJ W UUOTTV4 W.V.AZ ? ? tail according to the merit of each. As to the third we take it that this is a, question which addresses itself to the citizens of Greenville street and bo those who frequent that thoroughfare. As we have not seen the good brother up that way we are not surprised at his assertion. We merely suggest to him that he travel .some, tf he will go up Greenville street any lay about two o'clock, we dare say :he children returning from school >vill undertake to prove to him that ive do need a new sidewalk. Recurring to the first objection, we will not dispute, but will admit, the lact that Mr. Stark is a valuable citizen, a public-spirited citizen, and one who is a factor in all good works, and minHful nlsn that, the other gentleman is the Chief Justice of the Highest judicial tribunal of the State, ind a worthy officer. It was these racts which prompted us to say that :hese geullemen would donate the sidewalk. Mr. Stark has been Ihe aeneficiary of the public some, both Jirectly and indirectly. The City, bearing two-thirds of the cost, has built a cement sidewalk in front of his block of stores on Main street and constructed drains. Some years ago when a company, of which he was the head, purchased a lot of suburban property and proposed to develope it, we believe the city opened a street for his company to assist him in the enterprise. He is in a public business and looks to the public for a continuation of his prosperity. He has received from the public and has al ways given to the public, and we J iiiigiii in n in \ f' i believe that he will do so again, if not that he will be reasonable with the city in its?endeavor to serve the public. Chief Justice Gary has been kindly treated at the hands of the public. He has had conferred on him the highest judicial office in the State. He has served the public well, but he also owes the public much. He is interested in the propress of the city. He will not be a stumbling-'block in the way of his neighbors, we dare think. Because these gentlemen are prominent citizens is no reason, brother, why they should not answer the demands of I the public, and be ready to spend and be spent in the service of the City; but it is a good reason why we should expect th'em fco do something for1 the City. As to the "valuable" property j which these gentlemen 1 ays, we are not willing to admit that it is so much more valuable than other property about town; the tax books do not say that it is. And while we shall reserve for a future day some comparisons on tax values in this city, we are now prepared to say that on the basis of taxes paid the editor of this paper pays the interest on a An 5.?o(- no ttolllflhlo a 1/lt OQ I 11IU1 Ull JUOi (VO M -v. W _j is owned by either of these gentle- | men. We do not desire to trade with . either of them. Nor will we talk about "valuable" property when a U little strip of land about the size of a I piece of pie at a summer picnic is involved. We now propose to give to the city a sidewalk on our side of Chestnut street the whole'depth of our lot (which is a greater length than Mr. Stark's and Justice Gary's lots combined) when the city shall have acquired and constructed a sidewalk the whole length of Greenviile street on the west siide thereof; and we do not care whether it is acquired by gift, purchase or condemnation, the offer stands. The only conditions are that the fences be moved without charge to the owne:r, and that the walk be constructed and kept at the grade of the adjoining land so as to prevent'erosion. And if this is not enough, we propose, cn the same conditions, to give a sidewalk on the I west side of Parker street, if our neighbors want it. Will Mr. Stark and Chief Justice Gary do as much? and will Brother Horton uige them to do so, and "pull for Abbeville?" or will he hold the brief for them, re rasing, while the chier residential street of the city, extending within a I stone's throw of the public square, I continues with one sidewalk, an eye- I sore to the traveler and a mockery to I us, in the eyes of other towns? Can Abbeville do anything, or are we all so completely selfish and wrapped up in ourselves that we dislike to accommodate our neighbors and the _ public. t0 In conclusion, we would like to say w I to Brother Horton, that we are here se to serve the public, not to defend p( supposed private rights of individ- u, uals. We would like him to joim us, cock his Howitzer and get in the fight, but whether he does or not, we jn will try still to work on the old town, e, get its machinery right, and if possible make the old thing run. Will the brother join us? or will he "pull out?" ti . ? e< AT IT AGAIN. The City Council of Abbeville is a very accommodating body. The latest public benefit which it pro- d| vides is the planting of two hundred gallon gasoline tank in the public M street in front of Dargan's store with hi a stand to supply customers with f0 gasoline as per the Standard Oil Company. With this permit comes a request from the Gulf Refining Company to be allowed to do the same thing in front of the store of bi Henry DuPre, and another from Q. di< A. Harrison, representing the Texas 0 Company, to be allowed to bury a r<l tank in Confederate Square, and ** place a filler on the curb. Do the members of City Council know that SIj streets are dedicated for the benefit of the traveling public? Do they know that a gasoline station in front of Dargan's or DuPre's-etore means congestion in traffic at these important points? Is the Standard Oil ti Company, the Gulf Refining Com- w pany, or the Texas Company so poor or that they cannot rent property as gt other men do in order to expose X, their wares? There may be points ' where a station might be located on . on a public street without incon veniience to the public, but it certainly is not at either of the points named. Mr. Dargan has a driveway behind his Fl store, and so has Mr. Henry DuiPre. Ef Why not locate the gasoline tanks ot and stations there? Streets are pub- co lie property?they are not .laid out either to furnish places for horperacks, business on wheels, or automobile drinking fountains,?and in . - ?J 1?i:i,? i do case snouiu an eApiusivc w?.c goooline be buried under a public street- Ar We believe it is about time Abbeville went under a commission form of government?under three or five commissioners who would agree to j), serve the city \vithout pay. Such en follies as we are having cannot be Li tolerated. If we cannot get relief ur from City Council let us try injunc- pe tion. an ! TJ* ???????-I ... i 25( GIVING MK. ROBINSON CREDIT.
