GOOD ROADS AN ISSUE ^DBANGKBCKG MEETING BEG IS . JStSQ OF NEW CAMPAIGN. Revs and Courier Urges Adoption of Public Rood-Building Plan and Caation of Highway Commission. The following editorial from The Newa and Courier will be read with interest^ More than half the States of the Union have adopted the policy of giv ing aid in the construction of public roads, ail of the States have the mar ter under consderation, and in many K Xsounties large bond issues have been made to promote the- building of good roads. The subject is now at tracting N a" great' deal of attention in South Carolina, and, quoting from Watson's Hand-book of South Carolina, as "nothing aids more in the development of the agricultural industry of a commonwealth than good roads," thore is fair promise that the legislature of this State ?rill adopie a broad plan for the reconstruction or new construction of a great system of highways to the Industrial advantage of every good -enterprise in the State. That is what ought to be done, and after our riotous living with the whiskey question for fifteen years we should think that some useful occupation for our energies would be veryt-wel "fcome to everybody in the State. According to the latest informa tion we have, there are 41,830 miles of public roads in South Carolina, of which only 1,878 miles are im proved; a little more than one mile of public road to the square mile of territory, one mile of road to every 32 inhabitants, one mile of improved road to every 713 inhabi tants. "Here's a state of things" that ought to receive the intelligent -consideration of the people of the State, and particularly of those who are engaged in agricultural work. Last year the cost of hauling the cotton from the farms to market was about $8,000,000. If the pub lic roads throughout the cotton belt were good the cost would have been less than the half of that sum. It has been estimated that the cost of hauling over the roads we have amounts to 27 cents per ton the mile, and that the cost of hauling over good roads would not exceed 10 cents per ton the mile. Almost any one can make the calculation of what the saving would be if the public roads of the State were put in marketing condition. : It is estimated that very service ? able public roads equal to almost any traffic they would be required to stand, can be constructed in this State at a cost of from $150 to $300 the . mile, and that such roads can be maintained at an hnniiol cost of $10 'the mile. Both thesenjbstlmates are rather low, we should say, be cause of the long hauls in some parts of the State on road-building material and the almost utter lack of drainage in much difficult terri tory, but in a very large part of the State doubtless excellent roads of the sand-clay sort could be built at a cost of about $500 the mile. In the saving of labor to the farmers and other producers they would be worth in the first year after con struction and year after year more than the initial cost, and if properly constructed, could be maintained at little if any additional yearly ex pense to the taxpayers. If such roads are to be built they must be built by public taxation, and the taxes must be high enough to warrant the best work. What is needed is the adoption by the legislature of a public road building plan and the creation of a State highway commission to car ry out this plan, not in a year or in two years not with a dab here and there, not by filling up a "bad hole" in the Pour-Hole Swamp country, but on a well thought out scientific scheme which will give to the State a comprehensive system of public highways capable of ac commodating t^e business jof the State from the mountains to the sea. The first of the pathfinders in South Carolina did some very good engineering work as to routes and distances, but they did not know how to build good roads as the Ro mans did and as the experts of the present day are doing. It is not a thing of which we can be very proud that in the county of Charles ton, after more than two hundred years cf the highest civilization in the world, there are only about 7-00 miles of public roads, including thirty miles that have been surfac ed with shells and about ten miles with cement gravel. In addition, of course, we have about sixty mile3 or so of Belgin blocks and about a mile of asphalt roadway in the city of Charleston. In the county of Mecklenburg, North Carolina, be it said to our shame and to the glory of the "Descendants" in that county, there are almost as many miles of macadam roadway as there are total miles of any sort of public roads in the imperial county of Charles ton! This is the time to strike for bet ter roads. The people in all parts of the State are "taking notice." There was never a better time than for some member of the legislature of statesmanlike material to make himself famous by leading in the good roads movement, not with the hope of getting office?that might come, and would come, later as sure ly as the sun?but with the purpose of doing a great big thing for the benefit of all the people of the State. We have not taken much stock in <he grand touring of the automo yie owners and makers, because of the very distinct flavor of adver tising about much of their work, 4>ut their speed tests and their en durance runs and their long dis tance efforts have undoubtedly had the effect of stirring the peoplo of the country to a practical appre ciation of the practical benefits of good roads. Three years ago it would have taken from ten to twelve hours to make the journey from Charl^stw? to Summerville in an auto-car, und probably a week to haul the machine back to the city by a team of en durance mules; now the journey, with the road only about half com pleted as It ought to be, can be made in an hour and a half with the greatest ease and In perfect safe ty and comfort. Two days ago a run was made - from ? Charleston to Orangeburg by a string of automo biles, a distance of about 79 miles, In a Httle,morA (toan.6l^.houi^,and the ~ run back ^^ha^e^on;^b^'a" somew-hat different' ^onteV jw^'majde in about five hours. .' If/ the' roads were rebuilt in places and well sur faced with gravel and well drained, so that It would always be above high water, it would be practicable to make the run from Charleston to Orangeburg in three hours wlthour speeding. If the public road between Orangeburg and Columbia should be rebuilt and well drained, and well graded, as it will be' soon. or late, it would be an easy journey to make the run from Charleston to the State capital in three and a half or four hours without running any risk and in the greatest comfort. The peo ple of all the towns and counties between Charleston and Columbia are deeply interested in the. con struction of good roads between the political heart of the 8tate at Co lumbia, and "our matchless seaport at Charleston," as Commissioner Watson called it the other night in his admirable address. The spirit of the people was ex hibited in a most gratifying way at Orangeburg Wednesday night upon the arrival of tho "pathfinders" from Charleston, as they have been call ed, and Berkeley and Dorchester and Lexington and Calhoun and Co lumbta. There were at least five hundred of the most substantial and public-spirited men in the State at the meeting, and one-third of the number were visiting delegates, bent upon making a fair start in the work of building up the highways of the State. A more intelligent, alert and progressive body of citizens has nev er assembled in this State, and the splendid people of Orangeburg were more than equal to rthe tax upon their hospitality. After a free dis cussion that lasted beyond mianight, a plan was agreed upon unanimously for the opening of a' through high way of the best construction between ?Charleston and Columbia. The legend ' on the badge with which everybody at the meeting was tag gel read ."All Roads Lead to Or angeburg," and with the amendment, "Ali Roads Lead Through Orange burg to Charleston," the motto was adopted nem con. We have never seen such a meeting as that at Or angeburg in Charleston to discuss any subject of material importance to this community, and we do not believe that any such meeting was ever held at any other place in this State. But the meeting will have been held in vain if those who took part in its deliberations do not go to work now in dead earnest to carry out the plans which were so happily agreed upon. The road will not I build itself. It can't be built with j out taxation, and with a good deal j of taxation. It ought to be built by taxation of the whole body of taxpayers, because It will benefit /every man. woman and child in the territory through which the road will run. It will make it easier for the farmer to get his produce to market. It will make communica tion between the people in the coun try and in the towns easy and com fortable. It will lead to the devel opment of tens of thousands of acres of waste lands. It will increase the desirable population of the State. It will enhance the educational fa* cilities of the State. It will result in the drainage of vast stretches of territory that have been abandoned because they are uninhabitable on account of disease-breeding insects and stagnant water. It will add to the productive area of the State sev eral hundred thousand acres of the best land in the State, and would pay for itself ten times over in the improvement of our business con ditions and the actual values it would add to the taxable property of tho State. There ought to be some man in South Carolina big enough and in earnest enough to lead in the move ment for good roads, and when he appears he will acknowledge, as all must who were present at the meet ing in Orangeburg that the be ginning of this new campaign was really instituted there. Having abandoned the bottle, let us take up the building of good roads for the improvement of the State. * Conference Appoiutmcnts.

C. ' "t LYCEUM ATTRACTION. The Next to Appear in Orangeburg December 15th. 'Among fun-makers on the lyceum' circuits today none have been more uniformly welcomed by amusement seekers than the Litchfields, who will come to Orangeburg on Decem ber 15, for a single concert, to be given under the auspices of the Rad cliffe Entertainment Bureau. There are only three of the Litch fields, but they are a host in them selves. Each is a skilled entertain er in a different line and the result of the combination is a happy mix .ture~of--fuo and .music of-^t ?refined' and highly delightful sort. Wherev er they have ap pec red heretofore 'ttbe 'Litchfields" have invariably at tracted large audiences and local ! committees and press critics have j unreservedly given the concerts the highest praise. That there will be a repetition of their experiences here seems assured. The sale of seats has been unusually good and a large attendance is now practi cally certain. The program arranged by the Litchfields contains so, many dif ferent features, each excellent in its way, that.lt is difficult to select one for comment, but in general the concert will consist of humerouB characters, impersonations in cos tume, musical specialties, facial and characters monologue, dramatic re citals, violin and ballard barn so los, songs and stories and last and best of all, a rural comedy sketch, "Down at Brook Farm,' in itself well worth the price of admission. Mr. Litchfield is the humorist of the" organization, his wife is a splen-. did violinist, and Miss Abbie Litch field ably presides at the piano. All three take part in the playlet at the close. BURNS IN BARN. Si Williams Meets Death in Fire Near Florence. Si Williams, an old nogro, well known around Florence, as he has been hauling lumber into the city from country mills for some time, was burned to death Friday night In J. F. Stackley's barn, on his place, about eight miles from town. Mr. Stackley lost several bales of cot ton, besides his barn and Btable. His whole loss a mounted to about $600. The information received by Mr. Stackley concerning the old darkey was to the effect that he had been found drunk in the road near the barn and that he had been put in side the building to keep him from freezing. It is thought that the ne gro, waking in the night, struck a match, which ignited the cotton, and that. he was unable to get out of thebuilding. North Twinklings. Mr. A. C. Grier is attending the Methodist conference in Abbeville. Miss Hitcbens, Johnson's accom plished milliner, returned to her| home in Baltimore last Saturday.

What la Happening in the Country as Well as in the Cities and Town*. Col. R. M. Claffy, of Port Motte, came down Sunday to attend the funeral of his niece, Mrs. Jennie Roache. It is not the money cost of the Christmas gift, but the spirit of love which inspires the giver that makes the gift valuable. If it is true that the lower regions are paved with unfulfilled good in tentions what a lot of paving some people have laid. It is not necessary for a good man to affect the airs of a saint, and It is absolutely useleds for any other kind of a man to attempt if. The man w,ho thinks only of himself is to be pitied, even when he is thinking of nothing but bis own soul, for the so?l of such a man must surely shrivel up. Rev. H. W. Bays, the new pastor of St. Pauls, is said to be a good preacher and served such charges as Bethel in Charleston and Washing ton street in Columbia. The hot supper industry has start ed up again among the colored peo ple, and you may count on the col ored population being decreased every time one is held. Everyone-is helping.to<.make this earth more heaven-like who is help ing to brighten and bless the lives of others. Do not forget the poor these gladsome Christmas times. We hope all our Methodist friends got just the preacher they wanted. The rain has come at last, and we feel sure that it will be wel comed, as it was badly needed every where. Miss Glovle Pearson, assistant postmaster at Livingston, has recent ly purchased a beautiful piano from the Marchant Music Company of this city. We are sure that it will give entire satisfaction. Quite a number of relatives and friends from Columbia, Fort Motte and other points attended the fu neral of Mrs. Jennie Roache, v/hich took place at the Catholic church in this city Sunday afternoon. There will be an X-mas tree at the Baptist church of Cope, S. C, on Christmas night, Dec. 25, 1909. The public is cordially invited to attend. Baptist and Methodist are welcome to enter presents thereon. At a new county meeting over at Dillon on Friday Mr. J. S. Wan namaker, major of St. Matthews, made the statement that taxes were cheaper now in Calhoun county than they were when that county was a portion of Orangeburg county. This will be good news to the people of Calhoun, but is It really a fact? DIPHTHERIA PATIENT ON TRAIN. The Startling Discovery .Made at Richmond, Virginia. On Seaboard Air Line Train No. 66 there arrived at Richmond, Va., Sunday evening little Catherine Spencer, who lives at Nirlina, N. C, suffering with a sereve case of laryngial diphtheria. Sbe was in charge of her mother and a doc tor. An examination was made by a physician at Richmond immediately on her arrival at the depot and she was carried at once to the city home, whero antitoxin was administered in the contagious pavilion, where she is now in quarantine. Chief Health Officer Levy tele graphed to the health department at Washington and sent a message to the conductor requesting that the car, a Pullman, be set off at Wash ington and fumigated. :> Raising of the Quarantine. A bulletin from the board of ani mal industry of the federal agricul tural department announces the rais ing of the federal quarantine against the Texas cattle tick fever in Oconee, Pickens, Greenville and Anderson counties. This means that these counties are now absolutely free from the disease, and it is the first territory in the State that has been so declared free by the federal gov ernment. It will be a good thing when the whole State will be free of the ticks that cause the Texas fever. Good Cotton Crop. South Carolina farmers.arc partic ularly fortunate this year as shown by the figures of the agricultural department on the cotton crop. Her crop is almost up to normal, while that in tho whole South is nearly three million bales short. Orange burg county Bharcs in this prosperi ty, as h?-r cotton crop was about as good as any other county In the State. Well Recommended. The past week Mr. J. C. Covar ^as had charge of the painting of Mr. F. I. tlates' residence in Cal houn county, using the Acme quali ty paint, giving perfect satisfaction. We can nut say too much In behalf of his work, and cheerfully r.'c<-ni mend him to any one dt-siring paint ing don.-. Mr. and Mrs. F. I. Ga>s. Ma-slcniH Executed. At Adane twenty-six Mask-ms were executed In connection with the massacre of Christians last April. Great crowds witnessed the executions, and tho relatives of the condemned men, together with thousands of others, joined in thv manifestations of grief.
