The Lexington Dispatch. Wednesday, August 5, 1903. York County for Better Roa&s. The York county good roads convention met at Yorkville on 29th of July, with a full representation of the different townships present. A committee of one from each township was appointed to get up a set of resolutions to put before the meeting which was done and they were freely and intelligently discussed in a most harmonious manner with the following result: We, as representatives of the people of York county, assembled in convention to deliberate on economical and practical methods of improving the public highways, and recognizing that this subject merits earnest and effective action by the lawmaking power of the State, as well as the encouragement of all its citizens, do set forth and recommended legislative action as follows: First. That the county boards of commissioners be authorized and empowered to appoint an engineer, whose duty it shall be to make surveys of such highways as the board may direct, and to furnish estimates of the cost of any relocating or altering. and the exnense of nermanentlv ""D' ?? - t * * improving the same. Second. That the general assembly be memorialized to amend the road law so as to provide for competent, practical township supervisors of ! roads, for each township, who shall receive $2 per day, not exceeding 40 days per annnm, and two commissioners who shall receive $1 per day while in actual service, who shall have special supervision over all of i the public roads in their respective i townships, appoint all overseers, . prosecute each and svery overseer who failsto nut the required number eiaeraoie discussion upon aum? 01 them, especially the second, fourth and fifth sections, they were adopted. Capt. J. W. Ardrey of Fort Mill, then moved aB an addition to the foregoing resolutions, that our representatives in the general assembly be requested to use their endeavors to have the State farms done away with and the money expended upon them be applied to the improvement of ihe highways of the State. This was adopted. Trills Aiken, July 31 ?Mr. Arthur W. Cuahman shot and killed himself at his home, eight miles northeast of Aiken, this morning at 8 o'clock. Mr. Cushman was one of the most prominent men in Aiken county and had hosts of friends throughout the State. He was a member of the legislature from 1898 to 1900 and was a candidate for sheriff of Aiken county in 1900. Being defeated in this race he moved his family to Texas, where he lived about nine months and then returned to his home county, where he has been farming ever since. Mr. Cushman had been very des ~~ - A of day's work on his section, and that overseers be allowed compensation i - to the amonnt of $1 per day, and who shall give bond in the sum of $200 and shall be liable to the county i on their o.Boial bond for neglect of doty. Third. That the commutation tax be fixed at $2. Fourth That if deemed necessary a special levy be made for road purposes, not less than one nor more than three mills. Fifth. That the office of county commissioners be abolished and the township supervisors sit with the county supervisor as the board of djunty commissioners. Sixth. That said board shall apply the monies raised to those highways in the townships from which the tax levieB are made. ' ? ? ? ?? * Seventh. That we memorialize me legislature to amend the constitution affecting road work so as to allow townships or counties to tax thenselves to build or repair roads. A-.? to change the poll tax to $3 instead of $1 as heretofore, allowing $2 for road purposes. And should this section become a law, then the $2 for road purposes as above mentioned, be in lieu of the $2 commutation tax mentioned in section third. The foregoing resolutions were acted upon by sections and after con * 11 5 _ ? pondent for some time owing to several financial reverses. Hej was very ambitious and could not bear jn defeat in any manner. His family c} have known for some time that he gj was continually brooding over either real or imaginary troubles and they 01 have watched him closely and kept C{ all fire arms, etc, out of his way. Yesterday one of Mr. Cushman's y sons went hunting and on returning left bis gun in his room. This morn- y iDg Mr. Cushman locked himself in the room and wrote a note to his family, giving instructions as to his 8] burial, and placing the shotgun a against his heart, pulled the trigger 3 and killed himself instantly. c] He was 51 years of age, and liked by all who knew him, and by his c] death Aiken county has lost one of el her staunchest citizens. 6' He leaves a wife, three daughters fc __J J? _U_ n 4.^^ m adu lour soua, wliu are an piuonutcu j_ with grief at the tragic death of the 0, kind and loving husband and father, tt ?Cor. to the State. s\ ' w How's This. bi We offer One Hundred Dollars hi Reward for any case of Catarrh that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure. el F.

Washing- th ton of Tuskegee Institute, to ask re questions at a meeting which he was th addressing tonight at the Zion ci: church, almost resulted in a riot, and sa 25 policemen were called to quell the disturbance. Several arrests were made, one policeman received a deep stab from a hatpin, while a man said E to be one of those opposed to Wash- wi iDgfcon, received several razor cuts T1 and is now in the hospital. of After the arrests, Washington was E allowed to proceed, and spoke for fct nearly two hours. Both factions at the close of the meeting issued statements. Wash- 6? ington said in his statement that the ^ colored people of Boston should not jy be held responsible for a few riotous individuals, while William Monroe Trotter, one of those who was ar- ar rested, stated that the cause of the p? rioting was the absurd ruling of the jj chairmaiD, Lewis, in ordering the W( arrest and ejection of any person <j?j who hissed or manifested any obec- pr tion to the speaker of the evening. It is said that the disturbance ~*s gt prearranged and after the meeting Qc Trotter and his friends admitted that *Q they went there with the idea of asking Washington a number of questions and to resent any attack that might be made on ?he New England representatives to the recent Afro- ^ American council at Louisville. T] The meeting was held under the auspices of the Colorod Business 0 &? Men's association of the city and Wm. H. Lewis, one of the United States 80 Ql district attorneys, presided. ^ Save The Children. th Ninety-nine of every one hundred kdiseases that children have are due to disorders of the stomach, and these 3? 3 _il JI -1 _ 'Pi aisoraers are an cauBea oy maigestion.
