^winson fgnUlUgmtx* li. B. B1URKAY, Editor. THUB8DAY, AUGUST 6, 1885. ?KEVI?AAI.. ..-.-.?1.00. SIX M0NTH8. 75c. Two DoUaT? IT not paid In advauce. tUE I'UULIC BOAM. Tue atiouai time for working the public roads bas arrived. The roa 1 law requires the Superintendents of lue Highways to appoint tho Overseers in bis Highway District, and to assign them bands. The Overseers nre required to imvo the hands-warned to work tho roads, giving them twelve hours notice of the lime nnd place of working, aud the kind of tool each shall bring. All our citireus should be interested in the public Toads of tho Couuty. If tho law ta complied with as it should bei great improvement will be made in the toads, but we aro sorry to notice that too frequently tbo law is evaded. While a great many Overeccra tty to do their duty' faithfully, others aro satisfied to call out their bands and to throw up a little frosh dirt into tbe middle of thc road in places, and ecems to try to tee how eoon they can march their bauds with their tools on their shoulders from ono end of their section to the other, unless Ibo Superin tendent of the Highways designates the number of -days to be worked, and then to see bow little can bo dono in that time. Wo lia ve noticed instances of this kind In tbe past, but hopo that we have DO Overseers now but faithful ones. Superintendents of tho Highways should ceo to it that the roa'ds in their Districts -are properly worked. Where all Super intendents, Overseers and hands do not faithfully discliargo their road duty, tho burdon falls unequally upon the citizens. One Ovcreeer may do five dnyt> woik on bis section of tho road, and another Over seer not sc conscientious may only do one or two dayB work on bis section, although needing work just as badly. So it In important that Superintendent8 of tiio Highways should look closely ofter this matter. Tho road law imposes pennltieH for its .violation, yet it in very Heidorn that ono vi punished for ?B violation. A strict enforcement of tho law by tho County Commissioners and Superintendents cf ; Highways will do moro to improve our publio roads than an th io g that can be dono at thin time. It is too often tho case that County Commissioner;, fail to enforce thc lav/ because thoy aro afraid " that they would loso como votes at tho next election. As a general rule tho law would bo enforced more strictly if the office of County Commissioner was an appointive one and not an oleotive.one. But Anderson County will not aufTer in ibis respect from our present Board of County Commissioners, for they aro oil fearless men in discharging what they deem to bo a duty. They have bad an abstract of the road law published and aent to eacb Superintendent or Highways in the County, and several copies for general distribution, in order that tho people might be more generally informed os to what ?B required. So thea?, neglect ing their duties in thia respect may anticipate, aa far as tho County Com missioners can do so, to see the law en forced. We think the road law of this State is deficient in some respects and Bhould bo amended, but we think only by the enforcement of ibo law aa it stands uow, ciin tho roads be improved until a better system te devised. - . Tho road law require? that all roads shall bo twenty feet wide, except those loading to Charleston, Georgetown, ' Colombia, Hamborg or Ohcraw, which . aro to be thirty feet wide. In a great many,places in the County tho roods are not ten feet wide, caused by the farmers ploughing into the roads. Thia matter bas been presented by the Grand Jury of the County, and should have tho atten tion lt deserves. In working the roadB, the Overseer* should work them the width they wer/> laid off, no matter if it destroys thc corn and cotton of some private individual, for ho had no fight to' cultivate the public roads ; and if necessary to prevent such trespasses on . tbo public roads, let the Commissioners , prosecute * somo of the trespassers for obstructing tho public Highways. . Free tuition in the .South Carolina College bas become one of tbe great political questions of the day. .The criticisms on tho Board of Trustees of the College for making tuition freo, has become so great that Judge Mciver, of tho Supremo Bench, who is also ex officio a member of tho Board of Trustees of ? tho College,, bas -thought it proper, to write two ?-.r?des for tho Newt and Cou rier ia defonio of ibo action of ibo Board.' Tba frat of these articles ho confines to tho Constitutional question. Sec. JO of, - Art, 10 of tho Constitution reads ?a fol lows : "AU the Public Schools, Colleges - nud Uni vei ii tica of this State, supported in whole or in part by the public funds, ohall be free arid open lo all the children and youths of the State, without regard to race ore?los " Judge Mciver contends that fror , in this connection, moans without charge. Col. B. W, Edwards, of Darlington, and others have milton on tho same subject , and contend that freo in this Section means frce'of access. We will ?ol atv tempt to discuss tho CooalituUvqal que?- j HOB now, but must confess that to con ' aime Ute word here as meaning without charge ia a forced couatraetion,- ?nd not sustained by tho eoh'tex't', cr by Ibo OHO ? the word In oilier .^laco,ht tho Con duin;.'-/Jt&geJ^ in bis second lo'', oates the agesti?n that tho tliMv to free tuition in ^be South na Ooll?g<? :; < - from those be . r>? io religiousd?nominations having liege*, and attempt? to prove ibat (hey not ..

Neither r?o wo think it just and fair that Hie South Carolina College, which ls supported by the tax-payers of the State, shall be brought (tito unfair competition with the denominational colleges of tho Stale. Wo have lind some curiosity to notice, since reading this article, ol* what de nomination the members of the Hoard of Truste? cf the South Carolina College belong, and as we predicted before in vestigating, a majority of them belong to tho denominations which have no colirio I in tho Slate. Could not tho opponents of free tuition say with aa much justness that tho friends of free tuition arc those belonging to denominations having no colleges ? Wo want to fee the South Carolina! College Hiiccecd, and to elevate its aland- ' ard year by year, but wo do not think tho boat way to success is to say that lt j cannot compete with tho denominational colleges of the Stato ot: its own merits, and therefore have to oiler us an induce ment tn students freo tuition. This is what the Hoard of Trustees practically I say by their action. Wc hope lo seo freo tuition aboli'.Iu<i cod a reasonable iuitiou iv charged hereafter. Whon thia ls done the State College will be moro firmly established witli the pooplo of tho State. * A terrible cyclone passed np Ino Dela ware Uiver last Monday, marking its i path with dealh and destruction. Sever al livco were lost and great destruction of property was dono in Philadelphia, Camden, and other places in its track, and the cyclone is described by thoso who witnessed its progress on the Uiver, wiicre it could bo seen lo advantage, as au immense black cone-shaped cloud, with its apex resting Upon the water, and its baie mingling with tho rain clouds which hung in dense masses from the sky. One who witnessed it saw build ings going oil' like chaff, aud parts of a ateamor which lay in thc Uiver whirlod fully four, hundred feet into tho air. A ball of fire tan fec-t ?u diameter swiftly accompanied tho cloud. (len.

EDITOR : It will be readily con ceded that thc rcs ul ts of the convict labor of tho Stato, whether in money or inci dental and prospectivo advantage, should be distributable among the citizeus of tho entire State, and not among individu als or one or more localities. Whether thoso employed now within tho walls are actually and really earning moro than tho oxpouses, is for the Superintendent and Board of Directora to figure out. Tho boya and girls and invalided adulta should bo kept at the high-heeled shoo and coll?n alockiug business, nod that not at auch low xcaget as will impair tho legiti mate manufacture of such articles, or enrich thoso who select convict labor for such purpose. The convicta uuder sen tence- for the higher crimea, aud who can not by law bo hired outaide tho walls, abo u ld aid in completing tho Penitentiary according to present plans, (as surely there can he no aerioua Intention or wish to enlarge or extend it,) or constructively, perhaps, they might bo employed on the Columbia Canal, if that work is still, to be continued by the State. But following up the proposition that thia labor, after sustaining the institution, should be so directed that the results and advantages be distributed among the wbolo people, !jt us examine how this may bo accomplished. If the persistent effort of those who have preceded us for tho last fifty years is any indication, then a more direct and independent, commu nication with the Western States by rail is one of tho great wants and necessities of our people. Nature has furnished us with similar and, in some respect, greater facilities than our im mediato ana con tiguous neighbors-Georgia and North Carolina-in practicable passes through tho Blue Ridge Mountains. Tho science, skill and perseverance of Engineers has so progressed that now there are reported at least four depressions in tho Bluo Rldgo Mountains, leading out from this State, through which railroads may be constructed.at comparatively low figures. The first in point of time and ago is the Blue Ridge Railroad ; but that enterprise, no matter how favored or necessary, is now In auch condition that perhaps the propio of the State should await the ciTcctn of the forces now at work, which will shortly roault in great encroachments on the business of the Greenville & Co lumbia Railroad, and may compel that Company to extend the Blue Blase Rnil road Westward from Walhalla. Whenever that Company shows an earnest disposi tion to do so, then the State should assist in the way suggested. The next in im* portan ce is Ute Carolina. Cumberland Gap and Cincinnati Railroad, pro.'.ictcd to extend from Aiken, S. C., to Plckcns U. H., thence up the waters of Toxaway br Eslatoo Rivera, which debouch upon ibo waters of Big Pigeon, 'or French ibywid Rlvfw ia North Carolina, or di verging from this lino at some point to the citv of 0re*nvlUe, and thence paste ing the mountain? by way ot Gap Creek, Ihua reach the French Broad River. This O. O; O. Railroad Company is in Its infancy, but is under the control. of ex Gov. Hagcod And a numerous and able Board of Directora, and would ocem to have encouraging prospects of euceca?. This Company has continuous charters Mtt AiK?o, t?. C., to London in Keo t'jeky, tbcro connecting With a system of railroads without limit Westward, ami in this offers great inducement oifer other similar iuterpriaes. A railroad from thia Stain Westward, which *oWd, if?l?ieadlngelsSwi?rt?, und interested InlriWsipblFxW ?Wlfcuuier pointe, ia not-tho direct ?od mdVi e?dent communication with the S^Ttatesso torigu^?^ahahoped -?sitar U?a.peop:?e.of Soulh;Oe^nw?r A?dv^ ja, (tm; iJa^ewntWand l^^rer?.wp^^?|? fcry great l?jtrtaoce. The fourf|J: is from Spartanbnrg to Asheville, now ntarly completed, but to be made nvailnble tv* a great freight railway would require hoary work through tho first ?pura of tho Mountains, in order to reduce thc graded, which ?a entirely practicable by sonic tunnelling, as reporta indicate. it is not the purpose of this article to do more than suggest these several routes, aa furnishing tho means of leeching the West, and suggestive of enterprises on one or mole of which convict labor might be employed with great benefit to the people of thc entire State. Of course before selecting the particular enterprise it would be wiso atid pruden'. to have the.-<: different lines examined carefully by thc Railroad CorumUtioi? or si special commission anr\ all facts reported before any aXtlon ?A taken. When that is done, And thc best route-that combining tho greatest advantages-is recommended, thou thc State could and should assist by the UBO of convict labor, upon fair and reasonable terms, such Company in con structing tho difficult work through the Mountains? The gieat desire and object is to place tho people of this State upon terms of equality with other Southern Slates in this matter of cheap and easy transportation of tho commerce flowing from tho West. If tho city of Charleston and 'be Mouth Carolina Railroad really desire to havo the full bouefit of such enterpflfies, then moro lifo and activity must bc speedily exhibited, if, however, the usual inert ness ana seeming indifference prevail, or if resting on their long-time belief that the S. C. Railroad and tho city of Char leston opornto as a great maelstrom which will swallow up all commerce coming within their horizon, then other interesta must bo aroused and asked to act. Whilst the real benefits of cheap transportation, low charges for freights and travel will permeate and reach all tho people, still there must be some ob jective point or points for distribution, and nome outlet for foreign markets. The city of Columbia, the capital of the Stato, the centre of several important Railroads, should be something moro than a vast rcspository of penal and charitable institutions) Soino effort should be made by her citizens to obtain a fair share in the com merce thrown into the Slate from tho Went, no matter at what point it may enter. Surely that city will aid such means of milking the ezcess of this convict labor, ra'.uer than encourage the idea of abolishing tho Lease System, and thus be overshadowed by acres of convict J and convict cells. Anderson, Greenville and Spartanburg will soon have competing lines of rail road, but will aid and assist any lino or lines extending towards the West, aud lu this way hone to realise a proportion ate share nf all thb advantages accruing. Each of these points will, to some extent, be distributive depots for the territory contiguous nnd Southward, greatly in creasing and enhancing their present and prospective business. Columbia might, with proper foresight and energy, becomo a great central depot, and tba city of Charleston one of the queens of tho South in trade and com me reo. Sn much for utilizing convict labor in overcoming thu difficult passes through our Hine Ridge Mountains. In atv '.nor article nome suggestions will be made r i to the use of this labor in developing the land and resources of our coast country, and if proper concert cnn be had between soveral of tho South ern States, how a great inland water-way along the coasts of these States might be inaugurated and constructed wholly or in part by the convict labor of tho sover al States interested. Li. Taking Caro of the Body. Thc Chriitian Index, tho leading organ of the Baptist Church In tbo .South, pub lished in Atlanta, Ga.. In ita issue of Dec. 4, 1884, bas tbo following editorial : Too many pooplo seoni to think that a religious newspapor should bo confined to tho discussion of moral and religious subjecta only, forgetting that religion bas to do both with the bodies and HOUIS of mon.
