Nowhere, in7 South Carolina wai Memorial Day more fittingly o: more beautifully observed than ii Edgefield Monday afternoon. The exercises, in fact every detail of th? occasion, had been carefully anc wisely planned by the Daughters ol I the Confederacy. The procession composed of the S. C. C. I. cadets Edgefield Rifl?s, Veterans, Daugh ters of the Confederacy, and school children bearing flowers, formed al the court house and marched to thc opera house, where the .Hon. Rich ard I. Manning,of Sura ter, the oratoi of the day, held the closest atten tion of the very large assemblage for nearly an hour. His carefully prepared and very able address, pa triotic and inspiring throughout, wai very favorably received. The exercises were opened wit! prayer by Rev. Royal Shannon house and the program was inter spersed with patriotic airs and songs by the band and a chorus ol young ladies. The vocal solo by Miss Tisdale was beautifully ren dered. After about twenty crosses of honor were presented by Mr. N, L. Brunson, assisted by a trio oi little girls, the oiece de resistana of the program, a. , recitation bj Miss Annie . Clisby. fallowed. Hei selection, "The O?d Coufed," wa? peculiarly apropos and faultlessly rendered. Miss Clisby added to th? enviable reputation airea dy made ir Edgefield. Mr. J. M. Cobb acted as marshal of the day and Mayor John R. Tompkins presided over ; the ex ercises in the opera house. From the opera house the march was resumed. After decorating tht monument on the square, and an ap propriate salute by the "soldier boys," the graves in the Catholic cemetery were next decorated. Ther the entire throng placed beautiful flowers and wreaths upon the graves of the Confederate dead in the vil lage cemetery. At the conclusion the veterans were invited by the Daughters to partake of- refreshments on the Ad dison lawn. About a. score were seated at large table, where they in dulged in exchange of war-time ex perience as they enjoyed the nice things^that were prepared by the patriotic Edgefield, women whc are no less loyal to the traditions of the South than were their mothers and grandmothers. Poor Girls. The poorest girls in the world arc those not taught to work. There are thousands of them. Rich parente have petted them, and they have been taught to despise labor and to depend upon others for a living, and are perfectly helpless. The most forlorn women belong to this class, It is the duty of parents to project their daughters from this deplor able condition. They ' do their great wrong if , they neg lect it. Every daughter should be taught to earn her own living. The rich as well as the poor require thii tiaining.

Citizens in Washing ton and Meri r wether Tows hip n Interested in Building Highway to ' Augusta. t The following appeared in the Au t gusta Chronicle last week, being an j interview with Mr. H. C. Middleton - who is public spirited and deeply [ interested in road improvement, ; having agitated the question for a > number of years: . "There is considerable interest in r Washington and Meriwether town - ships in Edgefield county across the ? river in favor of the issuance of - township bonds for the building - of a main graded highway from j about Parksville, S. C., 30 miles np the river, to the county line, about i six miles above Augusta, aud a - branch or main road through the ? northern and eastern part of Meri . wether township. I i "We have a fertile and attractive country," said a resident of that sec - tion yesterday, "but because of our i bad roads our section is behind in , development Usually we can haul \ only two bales of cotton with two ? mules to Augusta, to market. We r want amain market road over which we and stangers can travel with ra pidity and pleasure. But we have come to the conclusion it is imprac ticable for our coun1;y to build them for us, so we are considering build ing" them ourselves by issuing town ship bonds. We want roads while, we are living-they will do us very little good after we aro dead. And a good many favor the early issuing of bonds to do it. By that method we can let the construction of the roads out by contract and in 18 mouths or two years have them com pleted and be riding over them. That is what we want. "We are merely discussing the subject now. If a majority of our voters come to favor the idea, we can hold an election and have the whole thing through with and the road work begun in les? than a year from now. "Our county is hilly; our roads were located a hundred years ago without engineering, and run up and down hill; the roads consequently wash and are usually pretty bad. "The idea among thos? who have approved the matter so far is to first have the main highway properly laid out, by an experienced highway engineer'from the north, so as to avoid steep places as much possible, and to save as much work and cost of constuction as possible, at the same time.serving the-townships in the best manner. We want to de fer to expert1 knowledge; then to grade this main road. It would run. from- about two . miles ^ above Parksville to Fox's cr?ele (the* Aiken county line),about six miles above. Augusta. Taken a properly located branch, or an additional road would be built into the eastern and north ern part of Meriwether township. "We believe that $50,000 will do this grading pretty well. It would not give us a road su:rfaced with gravel or fine rock, but a fine graded road. The bonds can be issued for twenty-five years and placed at 5 per cent. We think we can arrange it so that we will have ta pay only $10,000 to $15,000 of the principal at the end of twenty-five years, and re-issue the balance for another twenty-five years, etc., as'many cities do-taking fifty or more years to pay the principal-the cost of the roads. Certainly, if we can place the bonds now we can place the greater part of the amount in new bonds twenty-five years from now to pay the old ones. Paying them gradually in this way, the burden will be light. If an issue of $50,000 will do it, the interest of $2,500 would be about $1,250 for each township, and probably $250 each per annum on the principal, amount ing to a total of about $1,500 a year to be raised in each township. This will be a small amount compar ed to what we will "save.in v *r haul ing besides bringing about the de velopment of our section. "We have very fine agricultural lands-they are oak and hickory red lands, in the main and capable of the highest cultivation. Yet the section is scarcely populated. It is all because of the bad roads. "Help us to ag'tate this subject and get it before our people for their thoughtful consideration. Town ship road building is perfectly prac ticable. North and West. The re sult is the same as if the county is sued bonds and improved the roads of the entire county-the pro rata., for each township would in the end rest upon the township.. Of course, the county should agree to still give the township its pro rata of good road work after they have gone< to this extra expense and, we have no doubt our county of Edg?field will do this. We will ask Aiken county to help us by continuing the graded roads to Augusta through its terri tory. All the upper portion of the state uses these roads in getting to Augusta. In the old days Abbeville Anderson and even North Carolina used them. We feel sure of general co-operation if we can begin."
