Good roads should be the slogan.

visitors are all complimenting

Governor Blease is exercising hi9 !
pardoning power alright.

will veto certain items in the general

Are the courts of this county to be
nm by the lawyers or the presiding
judge?
I The ground hog saw his shadow and
K;, went back m his hole, but the warm
l|r weather is still with us.

It cost ten dollars to smile at a col! /
lege girl in Greenville and all of the
young men thereabouts are said to
have the dry grins.
If you are interested in the growing
of more coin show your enthusiasm

J; What i? the matter with Columbia?
Recorder Veraer h<;ard 49 cases in pcH6e
court Monday morning. A good
L record for local option.

If ir is unconstitutional for a United

latere or other pnblic official to be ,a
school or college trustee, let's do away
with the whole blame thing.

B Another white man i9 reported to
^B have been shot in a negro house in
Columbia on last Saturday night. Is
IB it not getting time for the authorities
h hi onr capital city to "sit np and take
notice?"
The legislature did exactly right in
H "calling off" the great merger suit.
H Absolutely nothing would be gained
by pursuing the matter further, only
H a fat job for some "well learned"
II
Since the policemen of Greenville
are required to accompany the college
girls to church, it is said that the
mayor of chat city is being besieged
with applications from men in all
parts of the country who want to become
policemen.
The legislature should pass the railroad
milage bill. What difference
& line* it make whether the milave is
I polled by the agent- or the conductor?
The railroads sell the books for cash.
It often works a hardship not only on
traveling public, but on the railscad
agents as well.
The deadlock in the legislatare over
- the election of the fifth justiceship
was to have been expected, and shows
[ the folly of allowing circuit judges
< and members of the legislat ure to at \
fare to these positions. Ko member
j> ef the legislature especially shonld be
[ permitted to offer himself for any pot
?taon where his colleagues have a
I light to vote.

I A new charter for the Oolurabiaf
Aiken-Aogii9ta trolley line has been
t naked for, which is taken to mean that
I the project is being revived. This anfe
wttmcement will be received with in
Iterest by the peopb living along the j
3me of the proposed new ek ctric rail- i
-wayr for nothing could add so much I
o the already well developed ar.d
-iwperoas territory through which i
he line woald pass.
An election has been ordered for
Kareb 14f in Columbia township. Richlasd
conutv. on the question of issu!<w
fiotwls fo the amount of t7o.OOO for
Ppurpose of freeing: the Congaree
TJroai river bridges leading into
city of Colombia. An ac& has
s passed by the legislature authorg
the comity of Lexington to pay
-third the cost of the bridges pro
i led Rici 1 ?nd pays the rem inder.
So, then, it is now "up to" Columbia,
and it remain? to be seen just how
anxious those people are to have free
bridges. /
.Once again the abominable court
"roster" has cost the taxpayers of
T ' n />nnoi/?C.KoVllo C1T1

of money. Thirty-six jurors wero on
hand Monday morning?all of them
ready to perform their duty, but the
"roster" was found wanting. We
have no intention of causing offense to
the lawyers, for they are all our
i friends, but they have had experience
I enough in the past to realize ere this
that the "roster" is nothing more nor
less than a teeming farce. When a
case is entered on the court docket it
should be disposed of as soon as possible,
and the party bringing the action
should be compelled to be in readiness
at all times to present his cause. The
jurors and other officials of the couit
will be here ready for business next
Monday, but it's dollars to doughnuts
that the remit will be the same.
Land Bought For
Negro CoUege.
A few months ago we recommended
| Irmo to the board of mission for Freedmen
as a snitable place for Harbison
college. On Friday, the 10th instant,
the deal was closed in the purchase of
nearly 500 acres of land to establish a
large agricultural and industrial school
for colored youths. Thousands of dollars
have been spent in the purchase
of the land and thousands will be put
in the erection of buildings. This school
1 being established there will mean
! much to Irmo from a financial point
of view; also to Columbia, as it is only
10 or 12 miles from here. The white
people at Irmo are very kindly disposed
to the colored people and will welcome
such a school in their midst.
