?The candidates for the legislature
and several county officers
were in Fort Miil Friday
as per schedule, the speaking

Confederate Park and in the
afternoon from the piazza of the
Ardrey House. The number of
voters present were estimated
at 300 or 400 and all were quiet
and orderly, giving the speakers
close and respectful attention.
The speeches of the candidates
were practically the same as
those delivered at previous meetings,
and, while it would be a
pleasure to The Times to give
each speech in full, lack of space
and facilities to get up the type
prevents us from doing so.

waded into water beyond his
depth. Mr. Alexander, seeing
that the lad was in imminent
danger of drowning, started to

in the water and carried
to the bottom. Young Strong'
reached a snag and held on until
he was hauled to safety by
another member of the party.

man, was 22 years of age and
one of the most popular young

Solution of the Good-Roads Question.
Capt. S. E. White writes to |
Poag's Real Estate Monthly as
follows upon a subject which is
of much interest in York county
at this time:
Having lived a good while,
with varied experience and observation,
and having read and
heard a great deal about the improvement
of our roads, and regretting
that our lawgivers have
seen fit to levy heavy taxes to
make said improvement, I ask
space in your columns to give
my views to the intelligent public.
Of course we all want good
roads. How to secure them is
i 1 i_; if 1 y r .1
tnc quesuun. my uenei is mar ,
they can be secured by a small
outlay in money, together with |
a moderate amount of labor, annually.
Let our Legislature
make it obligatory on proper j
hands to work the roads under j
an overseer for as much as five i
or six days in each year, if;
necessary. Then authorize the j
County Supervisor to cut up the
roads into sections?say half a j
mile each ?and contract with a
proper person to oversee that
section, paying $1.00 or $1.50 per
day for his services and assigning
sufficient force to do the j
work. The road should first be I
surfaced so as to be slightly j
raised in the middle and shedding I
the rains into ditches on either i
side. Then every year haul
stones from the size of a child's 1
head down to the size of an egg :
and lay them on a space 25 or
50 feet long and 8 or 10 feet j
wide. Do not crush them, but |
leave them until next year, when !
another stretch is to be laid and
the larger protruding rocks laid
down the previous year are to be
broken with hammers. It is unnecessary
to macadamize a road,
besides being too expensive. The
hauling mav have to be paid for, !
but the work can be done by
road hands, and anybody ought to '
gladly give the stones in order
to be rid of them. In this way
and by laying stones on the
worst places first we can in
time have good ro?.ds at small
nvnoncjn
1 speak from experience. Sev-!
en years ago, with three men and
two teams, I laid 250 feet of
road in one day, one man arranging
stones on the road while
the others hauled, and that is a
good road today?a perfect road.
It is error to suppose that a
good road must be macadamized.
Just lay stones as above mentioned
and use broad-tired wagons,
which really work the roads.
Eight years ago I had three
worn out wagons. After re-1
ceiving some advice and think- i
ing over the question of buying
new wagons, or repairing the
old, 1 concluded to cut down the
wheels and put on broad felloes
and tires. I have never regret'
ted having it done at a cost of
$14 for each wagon, because the i
bills for repairs have been al-,
most nothing. I would not
change back to narrow tires for
i any consideration, within the
bounds of reason. Broad tires
[ run lighter across fields and on
the roads; they are stouter,
therefore less liable to break;
and they really work the roads. 1
! Thiirn KnitKi* ~ I 5
^nviv imut II I'll III <x UlUHll
tire, it is less liable to expand
and become loose on the wheel;
wherefore it is more durable and
more reliable.
j I would surest that the Legisj
lature enact a law requiring all I
tires on two-horse wagons and
heavier ones, after three years,
shall be five inches or more in
I width.
If the above plan is adopted
and followed up, we can save
the extra 2 mills tax imposed on
property for improvement of
roads, as well as the extra $3
i poll-tax for the same purpose.
1 know whereof I speak, for
! experience and observation have
i been my teachers. There is no
j speculation in this plan?only
common sense and information
I obtained in the best school-- experience.
Yours truly,

Some Interesting County Items.
(Yorkvilln Enquirer, 14th.)
Mr. Nelson McCall died at his
home in Clover last Tuesday, j
aged 87 years. Mr. McCall was j
a native ?f Bethel township and j
spent practically the whole of his ;
long life in the same neighborhood.
He was a brick and stone !
mason by trade and was a well 1
known master of his craft. He
leaves two sons, Messers. Reuben i
and Robert. The funeral took
place at Clover on Tuesday.
A citizen of Rock Hill who was
in Yorkville yesterday to be registered,
noticed that his certificate
was numbered 68 and remarked:
'"Good gracious there
are six or seven hundred unregistered
people in Rock Hill. They
arc waiting until the board comes j
over there they will all expect to
get certificates, but they will
never do it. I do not believe I
that the board could register a

Company L, of the Frst regiment
South Carolina National
Guard, has under way the preparation
of a first-class rille range
at Sutton's spring, two and onehalf
miles west of Yorkvilie.
The arrangements consist of a
dead wall of brick, banked with
earth to stop bullets, and a club j
house to accomodate practicing
militia and store ammunition and !
appliances. The house has al-'
ready been completed at a cost of
about $800, and the balance of!
the range will be ready within a j
few weeks.
Mr. Lee Smith who was recent- !
ly arrested in North Carolina and
committed to jail in Yorkville on '
the charge of having stolen a
horse and buggy from Messrs. j
Lassiter and Huntley of Yorkville
on June 3, was released on bond ;
last Monday and the warrant:
against him has been withdrawn.
Mr. Smith was in the employ of
the Pee Dee Power company and
procured an affidavit from two s
time-keepers, a physician and a J
hotel landlord showing that he ;
was at that place at the time the j
horse was stolen as well as for
some weeks before and after.

? The Yorkville Enquirer is installing
what is s^itl to be one of ,
the most up-to-date newspaper
presses to be found in any country
newspaper office in this sectiod
of the country. The press
is a "New VVhitlock," weighs
20,000 pounds and has a speed
capacity of 2,250 impressions an '
hour.
While Kennedy's Lnxativo Cough'
Syrup is especially recommended for |
children, it is, of course good for adults.
Children like to take it because it tastes
nearly as good as maple sugar. Its
laxative principle drives the cold from
the system by a gentle, natural, yet
copious action of the bowels, bold by
Ardrey'sdrug store.
The Yorkville Enquirer and
Rock Hill Record are still insisting
that the liquor question
is the real issue in the York campaign.
The Yorkville correspondent
of the Charlotte Observer handed
out a great bunch of York county
political misrepresentations
on Monday.
