To the Editor of the Dispatch: I would be glad to know what those who attended the Good Roads Convention at Lexington on the 20th - - - ? ? 1 think about bow mucn we were Benefited by said meeting, also how maDy were disappointc I. It is evident that the people expected something by the cumber in attendance. I can give my opinion of it in short form, for I considered it nothing, and 'f each man that attended would have took his shovel and sper.t the time sboveliDg dirt on the roads we would have done more good tb&u attending the convention. It looks straDge that as many men would assemble on the all important question of the day and then hear only one speech on good roads, j That was the speech of Senator Lati- j mer. He gave his plans, others | spoke but gave no plans. The meet- I " * * -?a:I o | ing tnen aojourneu uutu o u uuta. At 3 o'clock nobody was in the court house. I locked around and tried to stir up those who I thought the proper ones to go ahead, but no stir. I was expecting to hear the opinions of the mass of the people on the plans laid down by former speakers. There were plenty of red hot good roads men there that I think were almost bursting with speeches, but I think they were like Senator Tillman a little. At one time he stopped and I inquired where he was at on the road question. As the former speakers differed I think others thought that j if they made a speech where would j they land at, for this good roads j question is expected tp be the lead- j ing question in the next campaign. Now, Mr. Editor, I thiDk if the people had assembled at 3 o'clock and gave their opinions we could have done some good. If I had not heard better plans than mine I would have given my plans and if another meeting should be called I will attend one more, for I feel that something must be done, for the present plans ot wcrkiDg roads will not do. Some blame the Legislator?; some blame the County Commissioners; some blame the overseers and some blame the road hands. . In the first place, it has been an | unusually bad year on roads, then there were no copies of road law on hand when the new board took charge of the office and the Legisla- ( ture had up the road question, so the i board thought best to wait and hear j the result of the legislature. The acts never came out until sometime in June, then it was the first of August UDtil the copies of the act could be gotten in the hands of the overseers. Then in some parts or sections of roads every hand had paid commutation tax; some sections had but eight or ten hands on which means that many dollars. Over - ? i ? i | seers bad to be birea ana couia not be hired for less than one dollar per day. Then especially on clay roads it was useless to work roads before they dried off from continued rains; then the planting season was on and ! farmers needed every hand and would not hire them to work roads. Now, suppose an overseer could have | hired one or two hands, his first day would take his dollar he had paid in and each day from then would take | another hand's dollar until the overseer would soon consume the commutation tax, let alone extravagant prices for hands to work. Now, the overseers have the law and hands can be hired as cheap as at any time, and they will be requested to work the roads or show the reason why they do not. Hopeing the above will give satisfaction to the many who have been asking and writing the iiquiry why have the roads not been worked. G. "W. Reeder. Edmunds, S. C., Aug. 22, 1903 Town Lots For Sale.

M. D. Harman. [ To Ci I Take Laxative Bro 1 Seven Million boxes sold In past 12 mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmammmmm Death of F. J. Esrman. Mr. Frank J. HarmaD, a highly respected citizen of the Providence section, died at his home last Saturday, af.er an illness of about two weeks, in the 72nd year of his 8ge. Mr. Harman was prominent in the community in which be resided and took a leading part in every legitimate movement looking toward the upbuilding of his county and the elevation of society. Like the Master whom he did so dearly lov9 and to whose service fci3 time and his tal ents were consecrated, he went about doing good, cheering the disconsolate, visiting the sick, and in the house of mourning his presence was a benediction. To the homes of those whose iDfirmatives prevented them from waiting upon the Lord, he went at regularly appointed times, and spoke words of sympathy and encouragement and pointed them to the 4 man of sorrows, who was acquainted with their griefs," and was able and willing to heal their afflictions and give them a home in heaven. In his death a good man has gone to his reward. His mortal remains were consigned to the bosom of mother earth in the Silent City cf the dead at Providence last Sunday in the presence of a very large concourse of sorrowing relatives, friends and neighbors who bad gathered to pay their last sad rites to their departed friend whose memory lingered as a sweet incense. His funeral services were conducted by -r* -1 D maa rreSICIIBg Uiuei UCUOICJ v?uu naa assisted by the Revs. W. D. Quick* and W. E Barre, of the Methodist church and the Rev. J. G.
