U/oHnocriau Inmiarv 1902. t VVIIIVWMUJ | . j . w ? The live and progressive city of Augusta, Ga., is making big preparations for a Good Roads convention which it is proposed to hold in that city on January 20th to the 2oth. Extensive preparations are being made by the enterprising citizens to make this convention a success and of practical benefit to those who attend. The Southern Railways Good Roads train will be there in charge of Mr. W. H. Moore. President of the Good Roads Association, to gether with a full corps of engineers and experts, who will be provided with improved machinery and will practically demonstrate the building of both Macadam and dirt roads. Admirals Dewey and Schlej?the hero of Manila bay and the hero of Santiago?have been invited, and it is probable that these two distinguish ed persons will be present. If there is one thing that should engage the thoughtful attention of all classes of people it is the subject of good roads. All are directly interested in them. No country can possibly grow, thrive and prosper for any length of time whose roads are one bed of siush and mud from one end to the other. Take many of our public roads at their best and they will be found to be in bad condition and are much in need of repair. A shovel full of dirt thrown into a mud hole here and there, or a pine sapling thrown oblique a washout will not answer the purpose of making a road permanently good. Intelligence and system, as well as moDey and hard licks, must be used in road building. Good roads are a blessing to any community: bad roads are an unmitigated curse. Good roads develops and builds up the country in which they are located, I bad roads retards its progress and prosperity and are an unenviable reflection upon the thrift and industry of the people where they are allowed longer to exist. The question is, which will you have, good or bad roads? It is a problem which the people must solve for themselvee.. If solved right it will bring contentment, happiness and prosperity; if wrongly solved, discontent, stagnation and decay will be the result. The dispensary haters art already beginning to cast aspersions upon the present State Board of Control, I though everything has moved along all right since the members were elected. We see no need of making any changes. There have been nc scandals and no charges against the present management and we think it well to retain the old Board?Orangeburg Patriot. [The last sentence in the above clipping coincides with our views exactly. The present Board has discharged its duties to the satisfaction of all concerned; there has been no scandal connected with its adminstration; and thorough business principals have characterized its management. The present Board has earned a re election and should have it] The physical and mental condition of Admiral Sampson, are said to be very grave and that he is now a complete wreck. The end of his life may be looked for at anv time. Admiral Sampson is a gallent officer and has many friends in naval and social circles who regret his collapse. A disgraceful state of affairs exist in New York growing out of the result of the late municipal elections in that city. The Tammany Magistrates, who claim that the election of their successors are illegal, continue to hold the fort by the shot gun policy. For sometime past some of the taxpayers residing in the ttra9 towDships in the Fork, through which the Columbia, Newberry and Laurens railroad passes, have been seriously considering the advisability of testing the legality of the election in which the sum of 840,000 were voted in aid of the construction of this road, to rid themselves from the payment of this tax. We understand that these who are opposed to this tax have definitely determined to resist its payment in the courts. J. A. MulJer, Esq , of the local bar, and perhaps other counsel, has been employed to defend any action to enforce payment on the part of the bondholders which may be instituted. We understand also that there are several other legal grounds upon which payment will be resisted and when once commenced the cause will probably be carried to the court of last resort before a final adjudi -L 1 cation is reacneu. As the matter is now on its way to the courts for adjustment it is no longer a fit subject for newspaper discussion, and hence we have no opinion as to the propriety or impropriety of the step which has been, or rather will be taken. Both sides have able counsel retained who are fuily competent to give sound and logical advice as to their rights in the premises. In this connection we desire to say that we have been informed by Treasurer Shealy that he has never refused to receive the coupons of these bonds in payment of taxes when tendered, as has been erroneously stated by the Columbia AfterDoon Record that he ,had. Mr. Shealy is a well informed young man and is fully acquainted with the duties required of him as County Treasurer and no matter how pleasant or unpleasant the performance of any part of those duties may be, has the moral courage to remain faithful to the requiiements of bis office. The World's Greatest Fever Medicine. Johnson's Tooic does in a day what slow Qainino cannot do in ten days. Its splendid cures are in striking contrast with the feeble cures made by Quinine. If you are utterly wretched, take a thorough course of Johnson's Tonic and drive out every trace of Malarial poisoning. The wise insure their lives and the wiser insure tboir health by using Johnson's Chill and Fever Tonic. It costs 50 cent9 if it cures; Dot one cent if it does not. 20?12m Tribute of Bespect. Whereas, It has pleased Almighty God in bis infinite wisdom to enter mto oar order and take from his duties here on earth to his reward in heaven our beloved Brother and colaborer, Wm. R.
