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.

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

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]

her staunchest citizens. 6'

Colored Persons Riot in Boston. **
Boston, July 30.?An attempt on gt
the part of half a dozen colored per- wl
Bons opposed to Brooker T. 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. ^

Potent Pill Pleasure.
The pills that are potent in their
action and pleasant in effect are
DaWitt's Little Early Risers. W. S.
Puilpoto, of Albany, Ga., says "During
a boilious attack I took one. Small
as it was it did me more good than
calomel, blue-mass or any other piil
I ever took and at the same time it
effected me pleasantly. Little Early
Risers are certainly an ideal pill."

To the Editor of the Dispatch:
At this writing the health of our
community is not so good. Mr.
Richmond Hall who has been confined
to his bed for about eight weeks with
typhoid fever is now up and doing
well. Mr. and Mrs. Evans have
been sick with typhoid fever. Mr.
Christie Barr is now up from a spell
of siokness and looks well.
Mr. John Drafts, the mail carrier
on route No. 1 from Leesville, performs
his duties nicely. He is a
clever and accommodating and I
think he is somewhat imposed upon.
We hope his life will be spared for
many years to come. Now that we
have free delivery we should do all
we can to keep it up and to keep Mr.
Drafts on the route.
We learn that Mr. Wm. Westmoreland
will have a picnic at his residence
