For the benefit of the readers of
the Dispatch, as well as the public
at large, we will again state with
added emphasis, what we have time
and again said, that the present Board
of Ccnnty Commissioners have given
sufficient evidence to convince any
reasonable mind that it is the purpose
of the Board to begin as early
as practicable a systematic system
of workirg the public roads of the
county with a view of puttiDg them
in a permanent good condition so
that tbey will be in fair fcravellirg
shape the year round.
The first and most important of
the evidences we might mention is the
heavy purchase of new and improved
road machinery together with the
increase in the cumber of mules for
the use of the chaiogang in working
the roads. It may not be out of
place, nor considered officious on our
part, to remark right here that while
the county has now a splendid equip
ment for working the public roads
80 as to obtain the best results, yet
there is one machine lacking to make
the road working outfit complete
and that is a reck crusher. This
machine can unquestionably be used
to good advantage on any section of
. road and can be operated at a nor
mal cost as the material required is
at band in large quantities. In our
travels through the county our attention
has been attracted at different
times to the large quantity of
rock going to waste by tbe roadside
and have often wondered why this
material could not be used as an element
in road making. This material
' ho nfciliKAri hv the nse of an
iron roller and instead of throwing
reek out of the road as has heretofore
been the custom they Bhoull be
thrown into the road and crushed in,
thus making a firm and smooth roadbed.
On the hill beyond Spring Hill, for
instance, there is a large supply of
this rock material which can easily
be carted and crushed into the road
bad making a splendid road that j
will last for years and will require
bat slight repairs from time to time
to keep it in thorough repair. The j
Eighteen H 11 beyond Providence is
ft fair example of what can be ac-1
complishel with the use of a crusher
in the way of road making. This
excellent piece of road was the work
of Capt Jacob Roberts with the
cbaingang and before he commenced
work there it was known far and
wide as a miserably bad piece of
road and was the dread of man and
beast alike: now it U just the reverse
and is today as good piece of road
way as can be fonnd anywhere in the
country. Whit has be 3D made out of
the road on this bill can be done on
the balance of the roads of the county
by a little intel)i? work.
Supervisor George A. Shealy was
-in town Friday and said that the
gang had completed a nice piece of
road from Cayce to Cengs ree Creek,
all of wbicb has been ta ell graded
and drained. An experienced road |
machine expert hae been placed in
charge of the machine and is doing
satisfactory work. Tre gang is now
at work on the piece of road between
CongareeC i ekand Huckabaa swamp
and will complete the work there be- !
fore moving elsewhere.

Hon. George B. Cromer, President
of Newberry College, made an elo
- qient appeal for the higher education
of the young men of the State last
Sundsy night in St. Stephen Evangelical
Lutheran church before an
attentive and refined audience. Prcf
Cromer is a finished orator, a scholar1?
gentleman and an enthusiastic
educator. His address was ripe with
cultured thoughts and wholesome
lessons and was indeed a literary
treat. He presented the claims of
Newberry to the support of Lexington
people in a masterly and convincing
manner and has awakened a
deep and abiding interest in the college
of which he is the head. On
Monday he made a timely and interesting
address before the students of
the Palmetto Collegiate Institute
and sowed seed9 which will bear
fruit for usefulness and Christian
culture for ages to come.
Mr. "W. L. Laird, formerly of this
county, but now a resident of Emanuel
county, Ga, was on a visit to relatives
and friends in this county last
week. He witnessed the burial of !
Charley Jefcoat, who wa9 given a '
Christian burial by his people. The
widow of Deputy SherifTFlanderp,who
was killed, by Charley while the I itter
was attempting to escape into this |
S'ate, paid the Alabama deputies
who brought the body of Jefcoat to !
Swainsboro, $700, the amount of the
reward offered by herself for the
capture of Jefcoat dead or alive.
The Governor of Georgia as well
as that of South Carolina, have refused
to pay the reward offered by
themselves respectively. In the
tragic life and death of this young
man we are forcibly reminded that
"the way of the transgressor is hard
and the end thereof is death."
Twice practically rejected by the
Senate and thrice Dominated by
President Roosevelt to be Collector
of the Port of Charleston is the
unique experience of Dr. Crum, the
i ^ rri__ ; _ t I
Degro politician. a lie perBiBieiiuy
with which the President, is "holding
the door of hope open" for negro
politicians to eojoy the emoluments
of office iB worthy of a better cause.
But, theD, when we come to consider,
nothing better could be reasonably
expected of Teddy, whose only claim
to the leadership of his party rest
solely on the fact that he was a member
of the hybrid aggregation at
San Juan's hill.
!
The way the farmer s are h uling
fertil zh'8 one would imagine that !
they have adopted a new as well as
unique method of throttling the gigantic
fertilizer trust which is suckiog
the very life blood out of the j
farming interest. Instead of adopting
the orthodox policy of starving
out the octopus, it seems to be the
purpose of our farmer friends to buyit
out lock, 6tock and barrel
Whether a combine really exists
among the farming class to carry out
this idea or not, we are of course unable
to say with aDy degree of accuracy.
But, anyway, all the signs
point in that, direction.
The State Pension Board is in session
in Columbia today. All the
counties have sent in their returns
and from them it is learned that the
numb3r of applicants greatly exceeds
that of last year. In some counties
the increase is 40 per cent., and
there is a falling off in none. The
amount coming to pensioners will be
received earlier this year than heretofore
by reason of the fact that the
returns were gotten in so quickly.
We inadvertently neglected to mention
that the Batesburg Advocate
recently sent out, as a supplement, a
well written and nicely printed writhe
up of the town of Batesburg. It
was profusely illustrated with handsome
cuts of the business houses
and private residence and showed
the remarkable progress of the town.
It was a very creditable publication
and reflected credit upon its publishers.
News comes from Manila that the
town of Surgigac, in northeastern
part of the island of Mindanao, was
captured on the night of the 22nd by
t j n a. i - ^ l i
uinarones. v-ocstaDuiary inspector
Clarke and several others were killed.
Grave fears are entertained for the
safety of white residents and a troop
of infantry have been hurried to
their relief.
The State will have to sue the
United States Fidelity and Casualry
c impany, the bondsmen of J. S.
Campbell, late Treasurer of Ricnland
who, it is claimed, is 85,000 short in
his accounts. The security company
being by no means certain that the
shortage occurred after it became a
surety.

Judge Durham, a well-known local
Judge of Greensboro, Ga., had an experience
with Peruna well worth reciting.
A report had become current among the
judge's friends that ho was threatened
with consumption. It was feared for a
time that Georgia was to lose ono of its
most prominent and influential citizens.
It was also reported that the judge
had failed to get any relief from any of
the medical aid at his command, that he
had made use of the now world famous

or the past three years, and has been a,

Dread Consumption.
There are three roads which lead from
lealth to consumption. Over one of
hese roads pass all'of that great multi;ude
of people who die every year of
lonsumption. Each route begins with
iealth and happiness and ends with disease
and death.

Third road: a cold?neglected?settles
in the throat?hoarseness?short breath
?consumption?death.
Thousands have just started on one o?
these roads, all of whom could be easily
rured by Peruna. Thousands more aro
tialf way to the fatal end of one of theso
roads who are still curable by a course
}f treatment by Peruna. Yet other
thousands are near the end whose last
lays could be made bearable and hope
of recovery more probable by commencing
Peruna without delay.
