Ansel Delivers Address. Spartanburg, Aug. 7.?The seventh annual convention of the South Carolina Good Roads association convened in the court house this morning at 11 o'clock with President F. H. Hyatt ir the chair. Rev. W. A. Massabeat opened the meeting with prayer. Gov. Ansel appeared on the scene just a* the preacher said, "Amen." Mr, Hyatt introduced Gov. Ansel, whc then made the opening address hefore the convention. I Supervisors and county commission ers from all over the State were pres ent, and the court house was filled tc overflowing. When the governoi finished his address, which was i strong plea for good roads, Hon. J Wright Nash was introduced and h< spoke to some length on the bond is sue and gave some practical figures that threw a deal of light on the elec tion which will come off the 20th o: | this month. Mr. Nash was called or 1? " "* ^ ^?i- T7i *r\ n ? ~ r oy iresiueu b hj. u. ojlluiii ui iuc oouia Cotton association. Mr. Hyatt, president of the Gooc Roads association, made a shori i speech as to the purpose and told the supervisors that a great responsibility rested on them, as they held the purse strings of the county and had more tc do with the upbuilding of it than any other citizens. The morning session adjourned a1 1:30 o'clock for dinner. After dinnei Mr. Hyatt and Mr. Smith went to the big gathering of colored farmers neai Glendale and when Richard Carrol] had finished his famous address, these gentlemen made rousing good talks that brought lusty cheers from the hundreds of negroes gathered around the speakers' stand. The county supervisors and others in attendance upon the convention spent the afternoon in watching the practical road work by Col. W. A. Neal, who had a traction engine and several scrapers out on the old Pacolet road just below Jeff Dilliard's place. Col. Neal did about one mile of good road work in two hours and a half. The convention held a very interesting session at the court house tonight, where many matters of importance were discussed. An election ol officers was entered into with the following results: F. H. Hyatt was reelected president and F. C. Black secretary. Mr. Black was formerly county engineer for Spartanburg during 1897-98, but at present his home ia in Columbia. J. B. McBryde moved that it was the sense of the body to ask the legislature to make the term of office ol the county supervisors throughout the State four years instead of two. After .considerable discussion, the motion was passed, and President Hyatt appointed J. G. Bates, J. B. McBryde and G. H. Nichols as a committee on legislature, to take this matter along with others before that body. Mr. G. N. Nichols, supervisor of Abbeville county, moved that the legislature be memoralized to abolish the State farm and hire all able-bodied convicts to the different counties at a nominal sum, say from $5 to $10 per month, to work on the roads of the counties. Mr. Singletary amended the motion as follows: "That all persons convicted after the enactment of this law except those sentenced to life imprisonment, be sentenced to work in the counties where they are convicted." Mr. McKinnon moved that it was the sense of the body assembled to ask the legislature to levy a tax of one mill for road improvement in such counties as have no such levy. H. B. Humbert, supervisor of Laurens, offered the following resolution, which was adapted: "Resolved, That members of this association be required to confine themselves to the discussion of questions pertaining to roads and road work, and that no member be permitted to speak more than twice, and not longer than 10 minutes the first time and five minutes the second time on any question, except by special permission." Resolutions of thanks were passed Liidiiiviug cue CILJ papcia lur LIICII press notices, the speakers, the supervisors in attendance and the officials of the city and county for their kind treatment, after which the convention adjourned.?The State, 8th.

It is high time for the newspapers to 8top giving free advertising to politicians, especially the class who appeal to the prejudices of the ignorant by refering to newspapers as "dirty newspapers." Senators Tillman and Latimer have gotten more free advertising from the newspapers than any 1 other men in the State, and both of them whenever a pewspaper happens to differ from them at any time, make it a point to not only speak disparagingly of that newspaper, but they try to teach the ignorant that newspapers are the enemies of mankind, but the nervy part of the business is that after trying to poison the' 'graynecks" against newspapers, they have the unadulterated gall to send a mass of bushwa to the abused newspapers for publication free of charge. This newspaper has made up its mind to cut out free advertising for politicians, if they think the space in our paper is a good advertising medium to advance their political interests, they can accompany their matter they wish pub' lished with the material that even makes newspaper men respectable. If the newspapers had not been so liberal with their space, there are pol | iticians now enjoying nign lite wno would in all probability be selling eggs in Augusta, or hoeing corn at Belton.?Manning Times.

Lincoln, Neb.?Suggestive pictures on the walls of the southern saloons are the main cause of fearful assaults made upon southern women by negroes, according to Mrs. Nannie Curtis, of Texas, national organizer of the Women's Christian Temperance Union. In a public address at the Epworth assembly, Lincoln, Neb., last week she said: "The saloons have robbed us white women of our clothes aDd have hung us up on the walls of saloons to inflame the passions of drunken black brutes."

New York, Aug. 8.?Losing his temper because his efforts as a peacemaker did not succeed, Edward Mulvaney, a young man, knocked down and killed his prospective father-inlaw, Robert Sealander, a contractor, on Pacific street, Brooklyn, today. The killing was the outcome of a quarrel between Sealander and his son. Mulvaney, who was calling on Miss Sealander, feared that the disl putants would harm each other, and | intervened. His plea for peace was not hearu and the contractor turned upon him. Argument developed and Mulvaney and Sealander adjourned to the street to settle their quarrel. Mulvaney struck Sealander a poweri ful blow on the head, knocking him down. The contractor died shortly afterward. Mulvaney was taken into custody.

Take No Substitute. Governor Smith Loses $60,000. When Governor Hoke Smith affixed his signature to the Georgia prohibition bill he deprived himself of $60,000. It is said that the governor will lose that sum because under prohibition the bar of the Piedmont hotel, the finest in Atlanta, will be closed. The lease calls for a lowering in rent if prohibition closes the bar. Governor Smith owns one-third of the Piedmont hotel and as the total reduction because of prohibition will be $180,000, the governor signed awayjust $60,000.
