Sonoca, August 4.-Editors Courier: Tho road racket is becoming chronic. It was ono of Bon Tillman's racket ralsors away back in tho nineties, and bocauso ho rode into ofiico on racket every politician since has boon howling himself hoarse over this road question. Any good thing can bo ovor-doue, and this road orazo is not only ovor-done, but it has caused everybody to lose faith in tho county chain gang. It bas done up Mr. Snead so far as ofiico is concornod, aud will do up Mr. Pool on tho 20th of August, and if kopt up at tho gait it is going it will do up tho county in about six more years. Every mau wants a good road by his houso, but ho wants somebody else to build it. Iv.ci y man wants a new road by his bouso or an old settlement road put on tho public. I know of roads boiug built in this county on purposo to go by a certain man's house whoso farm is not worth tho cost of the road, and whoso taxes would not pay for the road in a thousand years. This is like "holdiug a $100 funeral over a 50-cent niggor. When I was a boy you had to take dowu your buggy umbrella along most roads in this county, and when you wanted to pass a follow you said "Hay, Mister, I want to pass you, plcaso," and he got in one ditch and you got in tho other, and boforo you could both got out of tho ditches you would havo timo to say "howdy," and sometimes ask how the "old woman*' was, otc., and often you could havo tho pleasure of helping to "pull j mir noigbbor out of thc ditch." These wore tho "good old timos." Now some of those roads havo boon wideucd three or four times till a man with a derby hat on can pass you almost anywbero, with a cigar in his mouth, going at six or eight miles an hour and novor speak-no, not oven look at you. But you either pay tho taxes or work the road just tho samo. And now our friend from Nowry (a good follow, too,) comos out with a now plan for good roads. Eight County Commissioners at a salary of about $200 each, a total of $1,000, and a clork at $3 per day, aud all this mob with unlimited power to levy taxes. Great Scott! and they would all want an "injinu" and a road machino apicco, and a unala gang, too; woll, if wo had all this it would simply bo farewell, old county, that's all. Tho other evening 1 saw a policeman and tho mayor of Seneca arrest three men sitting on a pilo of cross tioB and lock them up. I asked somo ono what it was for and was told that it was for doing nothing. Now, if tho State will pass just such a law and arrest o very fol low caught sitting around these country stores and towns doing nothing but mik ing about good roads and bettor roads, and put them to work on tho roads, wo will soon havo tho best roads in tho world. But, as wo said in tho outset, this road racket is chronic, and wo will bog par don and swear off. You can't pay your honest debts with good roads, and they will not food tho wife and babies. When I was a boy 1 used to walk behind tho wagon in public roads to pick up tho oars of corn that tho limbs would knock off. Tho boy of to-day don't havo it to do. Tho limbs aro gouo and tho corn is, too. Now, if you could see tho poor borsos in this county and seo the West ern coru that has been hauled away from the railroad this yoar at $1.2? per bushel on timo, you would agrco with mo tint what we ncod abovo all things is corn moro corn and better corn ; corn for homo use and some left ovor for tho chain gang. Thun we won't havo to food thom on $0.00 Hour. Bet us get up a corn crazo. I hopo Tillman or somo politician will start it. Then it's a go. Our roads aro already so good that most of tho milch cows havo walked to town to pay off a lion for corn and tobacco. Tho rest will follow this fall. And yet all tho idiots in tho county will continuo to hollow good roads. I can't under stand, BO I will j us i beg pardon and swear off. lt uBod to bo that tho county owned tho roads, but it won't bo long till the roads and ' injines" and tho chain gang will own tho county. And tho end is not yet. Moro Corn. How About Your Heart Feel your pulse a few minutes. Is it regular? Are you short of breath, after slight exertion as going up stairs, sweeping, walking, etc?

Acting Attorney General Youmans has hauded down, nt the request of | the Governor, an important opinion concerning the transportation of whiskey through this State. It seems that a distillery has been loca ted in North Carolina, near the Spar tauburg line, and that the nearest station is Landrum, in this State. Tho distiller has been sending the whiskey to that point for shipment to other States and the stuff was seized. General Youmans holds that this is unconstitutional, as the whiskey is tranporstcd from North Carolina into this State and then shipped elsewhere; and, although a railroad is not used in the first case, it is inter-State com merce and not liable to tho laws of this State.

A DISTINGUISHED LAWYER AND LEGISLA * TOR-SKETCH OF HIS LIFE. STRUGGLE FOR WHITE SUPREMACY. A Legislative Leader at State Senator-Mem ber ol the Constitutional Convention. [8. 8. Lamb, Editor, in Aiken Journal . and Review.] With the people of South Caro lina the pending contest for the seat in the United States Senate, to be made vaoaut by the retirement of the junior Senator from this State, is perhaps the moat vital matter of the moment. The Senatorial prize is ono of the highest honors for which our political gladiators con tend ; from its organization the Upper House of Congress bas at tracted the ambition of orators and juriste possessed of a genius for pub lic affairs. With the passing of McLaurin, and the final overthrow of tho "Com mercial Demooraoy"-but another name for Republicanism in South Carolina-the times oall very loudly for a Senator who will fitly repre sent this State in what is, after all, tho most important legislative assem bly in the world. This ueed is the moro apparent at this time because of the subversion of the established principies of the Fedoral Constitu tion, and tho imperialistic tendencies, ever increasing, of acentrallized gov ernment, of the few, for the few, by tho few. THK COMMERCIAL DEMOCRACY. In a speech delivered at Union last summer State Senator Hender son, of Aiken, was among the first of the political leaders to point out tho impending dangers of the Commer cial Demooraoy-an insidious effort on the part of McLaurin and tho Republican administration to dis rupt and disorganize the Democratic party in South Carolina. The result of the county and State Conventions fully illustrates how well this advice was heeded, aud how thoroughly the death blow to this subtle conspiracy was delivered. Its defeat proved final and irretrievable. Senator McLaurin has voluntarily withdrawn from the politioal arena. A State oonvention of the party to which ho formerly professed allegiance has pronounced hiB political epitaph. Among the distinguished gen Lie men who aspire to tho Senate to suc ceed John L. McLaurin, tho Honora ble D. S. Henderson, of Aiken, is easily one of tho most prominent. An orator of rare ability-a mart of broad and gonerous views and im pulses-a profound student of human affairs-ho possesses in an unusual degree those qualities that upon tho world's stage go to make up a man of mark. And in addition to his well ar mored intellect "Dan" Henderson is a good friend and a good citizen, to boot. Beyond tho natural limits of his own Stato ho is known as ono of tho acknowledged leaders in public, affairs and at the bar of South Caro lina. As ono of our . contemporaries bas put it, he is indeed, "u Christian gentleman, an accomplished scholar, an able jurist, and an olequont speaker-ono altogether worthy of a seat in the United States Senate." 11KOINNINO A CAKKBR. Dan S. Henderson was born tn Walterboro, in the county of ColJ leton, South Carolina, in 1840. Both his father and mother wore natives of this State. The father, Danial Henderson, was descended from a Scotch-Irish origin, of which type are found some of the most eminently successful men of this and other times. Tho older Heuderson, in his day, was a lawyer of note, and served with distinction in the Legis lature of his State. Ho died in 1864. Dan Henderson, the son, at an early age began hts education in tho Charleston College with a scholor ship won in a competitivo examina tion. In 1870 ho left tho quiet ool lege walls with tho first honors of his class. With tho close of oollogo days the young student devoted himself to the mysteries of the law. Liko many lawyers who have attained eminence Henderson gathered his first knowledge of tho praotioal machinery of jurisprudence as a st udent in a law office. For a year and a balf after leaving Charleston College, he studied law in the office of Messrs Simons and Seigling, then among the leading praotitionors in the historio city of Charleston. At the end of this period Hender son began thc struggle of lifo as a school teacher in Chester, S. C. His manly bearing, self-reliance, and thorough met len!,, of work, soon won for him many friends. He had about him that quality of personal magnet ism that made him a favorite with all who came in contact with the young teaoher. In spj"*o mcaients he pursued the st v. ' the law with unflagging v A MEMBER OF TUE BAB. From the begining of his oareer as a young lawyer at Aiken in 1872, "Dan" Henderson, as he was famil iarly known, gave undisputed promise of a successful future. He had the faculty of winning oases. Courts and juries alike were impressed with the keon logic and brilliant speeches of the young lawyer. He was spoken of on all sides as one pre destined to play an important part upon the stage of publio affairs. From the start tm reputation as an orator and advooate of unusual ability gathered to Iiis office oliente of all classes. The poor, seeking his aid, were never turned from Hender son's door unheeded. The number of his oases increased. He began to be known about the State as a young man of splendid promise. THE TBOUBLOUH TIMES OF '76. In tho turmoil and strife of the carpet-bagger period of tho recon struction Dan Henderson emerged from the sphere of his looal reputa tion, and came into prominance as a leader in tho Btruggle for white supremacy. His aid and counsel were sought by men older than him self. The Hamburg riot occurred. His brilliant defense of the six hun dred men arrested for complicity in this affair won for him instant and lasting recognition as one of the ablest members of the South Carolina bar. A motion for bail was made befor Judge Maher. The motion was strenuously opposed by radioal Attorney General Stone and District Attorney General Corbin. Gen. M. C. Butler and A. P. Butler wore twe of thc most prominent defendants The trial resulted in a victory for the defense. In tho noted prosecution of th( Ellenton prisoners in the Unitec States Court at Charleston, Hender son defended the case with signa ability and success. He was a stub born lighter. His untiring perse verence, the coolness and determina tion with which ho conducted tin examination of all the witnesses lasting for more than three weeks challenged the admiration of th< Court and audience. The young lawyer's splendid plc for thedefeiiBe was openly praised b; Chief Justice Waite, late of the Su promo Court of tho United States Judge Waite presided at the trial Happening in the white heat of th struggle between the carpet bagge and nagro denomination on the on side, and thu rule of tho native bor on the other, these cases wore fo lowed with intense concern by th whole South. For his legal services in tl ii oas Henderson charged no fee. Patriot ism and tho love of his State wer for tho young lawyer a sufficieti reward. To this day "Dan" Hendei son woars with pride a gold wato chain presented to him by tho pe< ] *\ of his county in recognition < his services in the Ellenton trial. AS A LEGISLATIVE LEADEH. In 1870 the successful praotitiom declined the nomination for tl State Senate. Ho was too youri to be eligible for the office he w offered. However, in 1880, D. Henderson, then fully recognized a leader in publio affairs in his pa of the State, was elected to the So ate of the General Assembly South Carolina, in the first prima ever held in Aiken county. During his first term he was 01 of tho foremost debaters in the Se ate, and was active in securing t passage of several laws relating in mately to the welfare of the State Duelling was then rife in Sou Carolina. Men fought at the dr of a hat, upon fanoied insults, wi seconds, and all thc formalities of t oodo duello. Henderson waa t author of the famous duelling oe incorporated into the oath of pub office in South Carolina, intonded extirpate this evil. Tho first i ever passed in this State providi for tho oreation of a Hailroad Co mission was championed and ad oated by D. S. Henderson. This was tho origin of the present Ii road Commission, possessing as does powers of a far-reaching oh actor relating to tho regulation railroads and freights. Tho o cealod weapon law, the eight 1 eleotion law, by whioh a white mt government was perpetuated South Carolina with all this portant legislation State Sena Henderson was actively identified His business affairs multip with such rapidity that in 1884 Ii derson voluntarily retired from State Senate. The same year he was a member of the South Caro lina delegation to tho National Democratic Convention at Chioago. For ten years following his with drawal from the General Assembly he devoted himself to the praotice of law. During this time he was only once a candidate for office. This was in the famous Congressional convention in which George D. Till man was nominated after hundreds of ballots bad been oast. The convention lasted for morel than three weeks. From the begin ning to the end of this memorable contest Aiken county solidly sup ported her favorite son. THE CONSTITUTIONAL CONVBNTION. In 1895 the Reform and Conserva tive factions divided the Democratic party in South Carolina. The party leaders determined to make an effort ! to heal the breach existing in the party ranks. Henderson was sent to the Constitutional Convention. Ile was supported by both divisions of the party as a leador having nt j heart the interests of the whole State. In this memorable body Henderson took front rank an a leg islator and statesman. As chairman of the Committee on Municipal Cor porations and Police Regulations he aided in framing the sections of tho State Constitution relating to the liquor question, and having in view the elimination of barrooms, and the management of cities and towns. He assumed a prominent part in tho argument of publio affairs, especially in the debates upon suffrage and eduoation. The convention was composed of the representative pub lio men of South Carolina. The Senator from Aiken county was easily one of the readiest and most logioal debaters in tho whole assem bly. AS STATE SENATOR IN RECENT YEARS. In 1806 and again in 1900 Hen derson was returned to the State Senate with overwhelming majori ties. During these sessions he has served with distinction in tho upper branch of the Legislature. Ho has been instrumental in securing tho enactment of legislation of lasting importance. Tho reformation of the county government law ; the equalization of the taxes of the cotton mills and fertilizer factories ; all this has been largely the result of tho untiring diligence and public works of the Senator from Aiken. The latter aot alone, relating to the cotton mills and fertilizer plants, -of which act ho was the author has put upon the tax books of the State fully $2,000,000 of taxable property. Ho was a strong advo oate of the separate coach bill. At the latest session of the Gen eral Assembly Senator Henderson vigorously supported the Anti-Trust Law, one of the most important enactments at this session. In his ontire publio career he has been the champion of popular education, realizing in what large degree the future welfare of the State is dependent upon the proper main tenance of our colleges and publio sohools. His leadership in this oause is attested by his position as Chairman of the Committee on Eduoation in the State Senate, and as a trustee of Winthrop and the South Carolina Colleges.

Dan Hendorsou is one of the most ' practical of thinkers, the most kind-hearted bf men, the shrewdest of politicians-and, in our opinion, the best trial lawyer in South Carolina. The systematic business methods of his law office are the envy of his fellow members of the bar. From the humblest beginning he has arisen to a position of distinction. Success bas not elated, and defeat-rare in his career-baB not oast bim down. He is pre-eminently a self-made man. Tho oleanness of his public and private lifo stamps him as a man of undoubted integrity and lofty purpose. He has about him the elemonts of success. The times are tired of corruption, of fawning, of political pot-hunters, of breach of faith and base deser tion of principle. South Carolina needs as her rep resentative in the highest oonnoil hall ot- the Nation, a statesman of integrity, of oharacter, of high pur pose, of honor, of public usefulness.
