And the weary are at rest."
Sam Taylor says that, once upon a
time he was working with a great gang
of ca. penters on top of a house in
North Carolina. While thus engaged,
all hammering and sawing for dear
life, they saw approaching them in the
air a Int of hawks, one hundred and
fifty-one all told, and one right after
another ir. a long line. Justas they
got over the house Sam says all the
workmen "hollered" out at the top of
their voices and beat with their bum
mers and saws; whereupon everyone
of those identical hawks dropped a
chicken, one hundred and fifty-one all
told, and they eat chicken, fried, stew
ed, baked, biled, and roasted for forty
days and forty nights, till chicken ran
out of the sides of their mouths.
The remains of Mrs Susan Bulkley

I^o the people ol' Edgefield coun
ty kuow what bad roads-hilly,
muddy, rough roads-cost them
pelear in actual, cash outlay?
actual money paid out, like taxes?
Do they know what this extra cos?
of hauling is, which would be saved
if money were spent and tbe roads
put in good condition? lt ib
enormous far greater than all thu
taxes paid. It is far over $100,000
annually. A government publica
tion quotes an Iowa authority as
saying that bad roads cost Iowa
"$8,000,000 annually.'1 If that is
so what do they coat South Caro
lina? What Edgefield county?
The trouble is, people 'ou't stop
to think. If it takes three mules
to do the work of one, better slop
it. On the good, hard roads of
the counties arouud such cities as
Charlotte, Augusta, etc., two
horses pull twelve bales of cotton!
It is a common thing. From bert
to Augusta two horse*-, can pull
only three bales, generally two. It
costs from four to six times as
much to haul everything that wv
haul on our Edgefield county roads
as it should. How can we expect
to make auy money at this? It
costs us this anuually-how long
are we going to keep it up? Th?
money we now spend in excess ol
what we ought in this hauling, put
on the roads for several years,
would make them good (scientifi
cally) and afterwards th is excess
would be caving to everybody that
owns a horse or acre of laud, be
sides running up the price of all
land. Every piece of property iu
the county can stand the uecesaary
tax to put the roads in good condi
tion. It is a purelv business
proposition, not a faucy on9.
We deal with the world and sell
at the world's prices, and what is
saved in hauliug is profit on the
I goods. This is one of the chief
jreasous we are poor-ir celt* us so
I much to haul a ucl marget our
crops-four to six times what, it
j should and what people who make
I themselves good .roads have to
I pay. I doifr know what it costs
now to do all the hauling that is
done on Edgefield county's public
roads-each person eau figure it
for himself-but it ;s safe to say
it is four times what it should be
-the excess can be estimated. If
4a*ii^wad6 cost Iowa $8,000,000 an
uually and cost South Carolina as
much, then thin would make bad
roads cost Edgefield county at
least $200,000 yearly. Hadn't we
better put this on the roads several
?years and thereafter put it in our
pocket, increasing aleo the value
of land? Itwould be money made.
The first thing is to have fill the
r >ads re-surveyed anil re-located
where need be, going around the
bills. A hill is worse than the
mud. A hill rising len feet in
one hundred feet, a horse can pull
only one-fourth of the load up that
: he can on a level 1 Here ?3 such a
I hill or grade:
One such hill ou a road, means
that only the load that can be
pulled up it must be put on for
the whole road. The go^?rnment
publications say "Good roads
phould wind around hills instead
of running over them." Ic is no
further, or little further, around
most bills than over them (as
around an orange instead of over
it for instance) and two pulls are
avoided. Nearly every hill can be
gone arouud; this is surprising
when you come to look around.
Try it. Our pioneer forefathers
surveyed these roads by the '"eye"
usually in a hurry, and unscien
tifically, and we have stuck to the
pioneer roads about long enough.
Our developed business demands
something better.
After re-surveying ?.nd relocat
ing the road? scientifically (this
should bo dune as soon aa possible
whether anytbinsr else is done or
not, atd can be at little cost) then
we should issue bonds, macadamize
the roads, giviug work to scientific
contractors, and 'pay tor the work
gradually. We should do some
thing and J-.ot go on in this un
businesslike, unscientific, costly
manner.

Tue Intendant Doesn't Expect

James W. Tolbert, a well known
white man, whose coudnct has
made him obnoxious to citizens of
McCormick and Greenwood coun
ty, was shot by a '?irt?ked moo in
McCormick yesterday. Although
he was ordered by citizens of the
town not to return there, he did BO,
and has been thereabout a week.
He was one of those men against
whom the citizens of the county
were so iudignant, and as a result
the Phoenix riots occurred in
1898.
Tolbert's return to the town pre
cipitated further tron ble. Yester
day he was found at his home and
was reps iring one of the buildings
on the place. A body of masked
men rode up and demanded that
I he should surrender or skip away
again. Tolbert, however, refused
to do either and began to fire on
the crowd. One of the masked
party was hit, and would have
been killed but fiom the fact that
be curried a memorandum book,
in which the bullet was imbedded.
AitPr emptying his pistol Tolbert
rau. He was badly wounded, be
ing hit once in the b ck, the bullet
lodging in the ?uug, and once in
Lhe right arm.
Tolbert lastuigM telegraphed to
the governor asking fer ponction.
Hie telegram wa* somewhat indefi
nite and the governor wired to
Sheriff McCaslan, of Greenwood,
asking for information, and in
structing him to act. Thc sheriff j
telegraphed that none of 'he par
ticulars were familiar to him and
?aid that no train would leave for
McCormick from Greenwood un'.il
to-day. A telegram wes also set * !
to the intendant at McCormick
last night, but no answer was re
ceived until this ruorinug, the
statement being that everything
was quiet.
The telegram read : "James W.
Tolbert badly wounded by un
known persons yesterday about 3
o'clock. Do not apprehend any
more trouble. j

Jn thc Snow King's Clutches.
Atlanta, Feb,23.-The Southern
States, from Texas to the Atlantic
coast, was given the first taste of
winter last night and this morn
ing. Snow is falling in many
places from Charleston. S. C" to
central and northern Texas, and
almost to the gulf.J
The storm which was over the
west gulf coast last nigh* moved
rapidly to the eaBt during the
night and is ce ut ral to-day over
northern Florida, where suow ia
expected duriug the next twelve
hours.
The line of freezing temperature.
aB reported by the local weather
bureau this morning, extends to
the southern portion of Georgia
and to the coast of Alabama and
Louisiana. In some portions of
the south the 6now storm was
broughton the wings Of tho high
north west wind*, which wrecked
all telegraph and telephone com
munications.
The heaviest snow fall reoorded
is at LaGrange, Gc, where the
precipitation was ten inches. At
Birmingham there wera about six
inches. Montgomery reportB a
similar depth and very cold.
Southern Mississippi reports
the nrst snow in aorae placea in
two years. There is nono at New
Orleans.
The precipitation reported at
Dallas is three inclus aud in north
western Texas from three to six
iuches. The suow is. of course, of
great benefit to the growing wheat,
but it is feared it will cause severe
loss to live stock.
In Atlanta snow began falling
last night and bv JO o'clock this
morning the ground was covered
to a depth of five inches.
All trams were from twenty
minutes to two bnurs lute, causing
consequent delays to th? mails.
The street car companies called
out their force at 2 o'clock this
morning and put cars into service
for the. purpt se of keeping thc
tracks open. This served in a
measure to avert the complete
suspension of the service tb it
morning,

In the Columbia State of Feb.
14th, wai a short notice of the lit
erary club here, which is incorrect,
and calculated, to make those out
side of the club have a wrong im
pression of its object and works.
I here gire a true account of the
Auf Wiedersehen Club:
Early in January twelve intelli
gent and earnest women organized
the club, gave it its name, elected
its officers, their object, being "the
jitorary culture of its members."
Our club has joined the South
Carolina Federation of Womens
Clubs, along with forty odd others.
There is no expense, as fifty cents
initiation fee and ten cants per
mouth is hardly worth mention
ing. The Federation will meet in
Greenville on the 23rd of Apri',
and every club io the State is ex
pected to send two delegates. The
railroads will allow special rates,
and the club women of Greenville
will entertain the delegates. These
annual meetings ?re Tioet instruc
tive and pleH%aut, composed as
they are of the bust and brightest
women in the State.
Miss Louisa B. Poppenb-nro,
President of the Federation, visit
ed the club worner of Edgefield
two weeks ago and talked to them
of the Federation work under its
various heads, viz: Philanthropy
and civics, horticulture and village
improvement, library, education,
kindergarten, art, and muBic.
Much good is done all over the
State by these clubs. The Federa
tion gives over foriy scholarships
to Converse Collage. Edgefield
will 6oon have the privilege of en
joy i ug one of the traveling libraries
belonging to the Federation, which
any town or community can h*ve
without one cent of cost.
Our club hopes to fill a library
of its own in the near future, and
start it on tho rounds,bearing pleas
iure and instruction int:> homes of
j many who are unable to buy book
I and magazines. The case for tbir
i_
re~sri?GS
fe: MIMSi
library was shipped last week to
Mrs. J. B. Ha't. wa ii ?er by Mis. M.
N. Colemau, p? Seneca, R. C., who
is the founder of the Federation
in this State.
Our club is c?rtainly a local one,
truly literary, not expensive, and
most enjoyable to all those who
are so fortunate ap to have their
names on the club roll.
