J. Ii. M IMS, - - - EDITOR. WEDNESDAY, JUNE 25, 1902. Some member of the sena torial troupe either has a wee small bit of campaign fund or supposes that the editor of this'paper is on the threshold of the poor house, We will live on blackberries and "park" or branch water be fore we will boost a senator ial candidate to the tune of one dollar a column. Such ? proposition has been made us. Chairman Jones, the gener alissimo o f : Democracy in South Carolina, has ordered that the county dispenser can .not be elected either . in the primary or by separate box. Thus through political boss ism the Democratic conven tion (not Col. Jones) deprives the people of Edgefield coun ty of that which i t should vouchsafe to them, namely: the right to choose by popu lar ballot the officers who shall serve them within the borders of the county. Truly, the yoke of bossism is galling. While THE ADVERTISER, unalterably and uncondition ally, favors the election of county dispenser by the peo pie we would say, first, last and always, submit to consti tuted authority. We predict, however, that before manj campaigns come and gc Edgefied county will elect hei dispenser or cast a bomb ir the camp of the politicians putting them to confusion. THE CAMPAIGNERS. The stump speakers ar< -abroad in the land. Then are almost more speaker than stumps, being sixty od( this campaign is being con ducted upon. The present campaign dif fers from those of recent year in three particulars, ist. Th< attendance upon the meeting* is small. The audience is com posed more largely of ladies than is usually the case. The people have been so often de ceived by the promises of politicians, which were made to be broken,that they are not disposed to give them their time when other matters need attention. This is one year, the first in many, in which the listeners receive some real benefit. 2nd. The demeanor or the . manner in which the candi dates conduct themselves is worthy of mention. Hereto fore the speakers have reared, snorted and cavorted in a way that was very unbecoming. They "cussed" their oppon ents instead of discussing the issues that were paramount. Not so today; all of them are deporting themselves as gen tlemen. If there are any who are not they are on their best behavior and try to make the audience believe they are gen tlemen, 3rd. Most of the speeches contain much food for thought This indicates that our people are becoming more intelligent year-by year and the candi dates dare not indulge in the political platitudes that were che stock in trade of the bla tant demagogues of a few years ago. Maybe we will yet experience some more of those good old times that ex isted in our state before the reign of the demagogues. Twelve meetings have been held ai which every speaker claimed the crowd. Some are gaining ground and some are losing. Some stock is at a premium and some at a dis count. . Poor G. Walt. Whitman could not raise the spondulix to pay his pledge and to buy a bicycle on which to tour the ' state, consequently he is not ! in it. j The Federal campaign ! meeting is held today at Dar- 1 Kngton and the State cam paign at Beaufort. Jlllllllllll!lllllll!lilllllllll!llllll!llllllllillllllllllli? I GOOD R0ABS vs. I BAB ROABS. I Hew To DO ir. .IfflUlilllillllllll?llllH G MllllllUUIIHIIiminilR Correspondence of Edgefield AdTcrtiser. (continued from last issue.) The decrease-iii value of land in Edgefield is still going on. The Bpecial reason we,, are getting BO poor that we can't fix the roads, is because the roads need fixing. It is useless look for better times-a time when we will be better able to work on the roads-land values will get worse - we shall be leBS able as time goes on , if wi? put this work off. It is not prosperity that brings good roads but good roads bring prosperity. If we want io get proeporous therefore we shall have to go to work OT the roads- that is the iirst requisite. Thinking people will see this when they realize that nearly every ton of hauling in Edgefiold county costs 35c on every mile hauled, U. S. governn. ent estimates for our class of roads) when it should cost only from 7c to 10c. This is on every mile hauled it should be re membered. The U. S.goverument says in the bad road bectious of the country the excessive cost of hauling is equal to one fourth of the "total home value of the pro ducts." Edgefield raised in 1900 25,000 bales of cotton, which at $40 per bale is equivalent to $1,000,000 worth of cotton. If the excess cost of hauling ou this was $250,000 we can see how we are throwing away money, or failing to make money. ThiB probably means all the haul ing c mnected with the cotton hauling the supplies to raise- it'etc I have pointed out that we buy in Edgefield $25,000 to $30,000 worth of vehicles every year. es:imatod from the tax- books, and since our vehicles are bumped and shak en to pieces and do not live half their time, it is plaiu that we speud $10,000 L$L2,000 at least more annually for vehicles than we would on good roads. It is an es tablished fact that vehiol s on good roads last twice as long as they do on bad roads. We ship in much lumber, meal, flour, etc., on railroad because it is too costly to seud to our country lumber and meal and flour mills. Our money goes out of the county, instead of to our own people who need it, who are in the lumber, fl >ur and meal business. Valuable timber landB go begging, except near the rail roads ; we buy our meal and flour instead of raising i : ; we stick to cotton and cannot diversify ; few dairies; little vegetable farming, and so leak at every pore on ac couut of oui terrible system of bad roads. No wonder we are poor. Gen. Butler says in his address: "If I had my way 1 would appoint a competent civil engineer for ev ery county, or one for two or three of the smaller counties." This is what we should do in Edgefield -o-.- ami ii J uo. And make up our mind, as they are doing elsewhere, to pay for what is neceesary, before we are too poor to pay at all. Land in Rich mond County, Ga., so Judge VV. P. Eve of that county was telling the other day, that in 1880 would sell for only $6 an acre, now after good gravel roads had been put tbrrugh them sold as high as $75 an acre, and the people were giving rights of way and begging him to put roads through their land. The U .S. Goverment says the average increase iu prices of land in good road sections, after wide inquiry, proves to be $6 per acre. Every single ihing raised on this land is raised at|greater profit. This en riches.the county. Every man, woman and child in Edgefield would de enriched by the building of good, modern road* far in excess of what.it would cost-some eight or ten times what it wou'd cost H. C. M.
