The next census, no doubt, will c
make a good many ambitious towns 1 r
that have been boasting1 of their p
I>opulation feel like they had been
visited by a Kansas cyclone.

The great trouble about all these j,
good things coming at once?the o
new county, the new railroad and j J"
the electric cable?is that we Dil- i "

A man has just died in West ^
Virginia who voted for 18 presidents,
but there is nothing' ex- '
traordinary in this when it is re
called that dead men have been c'
known to vote more than 18 tinus j"'
at one election in a South Caro- u
lina primary. n

A prominent Florence county g
farmer who has given close study v
to cotton culture has decided that tl
it is unprofitable to raise cot- v
ton at less than 15 cents per pound e
and buy corn, meat and flour at G
prevailing prices. and has anncnine- S(
cct mat ne win au?*uv?wn wnvn
a monev-making crop. As the
gentleman has been quite successful
in other lines of industry s
the experiment will be watched [f
with unusual interest by those
who still cling to cotton as the
money-making crop of the south.

We should be very glad to see
our Latta friends make an effort
to get an extension of the X.
& S. C. railroad to their progressive
town. The objective point of

n extension to Latta. The ex-1
msion could make a detour by
ray of L>othan in order to avoid
parallel with the Atlantic Coast
ane and thereby open up a rich
arming section. The country inervening
is level and the grading
ould be done at comparatively
mall cost. We make the sug;estion
for what it is worth. The
onnection would give Latta raiload
facilities equal if not suerior
to Dillon's.
The Dillon Herald says that
he fact that the governor is havng
the held notes of the surveyrs
in the Dillon county matter )
echecked "does not mean that
lovernor Ansel suspects that any
rrors exist in the surveyors'
rork." The Herald writer is ineed
wise and well informed.

Well, so many leading men of

liat if we could comply with the
[institutional requirements in'

We have learned from private
ourees thai a movement is on
jot in Horry to bond the county
in ?200,000 for the purpose of
abiding macadam roads and steel
nidges. Th * man behind the
iiovenient is one of llorry's
nost substant'al and progressive
itizens, but like most niovenents
which have for their
bject the betterment of the eonlition
of the masses, there is
trong opposition to the scheme,

probably, exceeds $20,000 per year.
The money is spent in patch work
and year after year the people continue
tc haul their produce to market
over sandv roads and dangerous
bridges. A bond issue of
$200,00^, no doubt, would build
permanent highways and bridges 1
all over the county and if the in- j
terest did not exceed 5 per cent. ;
the people would save the neat lit- '
tie sum of $10,000 every year, to |
say nothing of the saving in wear,
and tear on stock and vehicles.
We have nothing to do with Horry's
matters of public policy, but
merely call attention to this movement
for good roads in another
county to show what might be done
right here at home. Marion's
public roads are in better condition
than Horry's'and un'ess the
county plunges itself into debt for
permanent improvements, present

from Porto Rico told us that the tl
island was a net-work of macadam tl
roads, although the ox cart was the ii
popular mode of rural transports- t
tion. Over hers the ox cart has ?
been displaced bv the rubber tired s
vehicle and the automobile, but ii
still there has been no improve- a
ment in the condition of the pub- I

modern facility for rural transpor- c

than are the Porto Ricans. i:

nor because it was not rich in

it was traversed by thewid- |

the cost ot tiotle construction so \|
excessive that capital was frightened
away. There is some food
for reflection in the gentleman's (j|
