The "claying" of the roads and sidewalks In the city goes merrily on, but the "drag" seem to hj^ been lost ' fm"1 mnMnnnn use of the split log drags on the streets wiP be worth as much as the clay that is being put on them. When Governor Blease said he "could lick any man in the State" he was probably not aware of the fact that a son had been born in the home of Robert Chapman, one of Cheraw's colored blind tigers, and that he might have to tackle a "name sake"?for when told that the child was a boy, Robert promptly announced that his name was Coleman Livingston Blease Chapman. Publicity is the most important fea ture of the present. Every commercial interest recognizes the fact The merchants here in town should realize it.

Secretary Wilson in a recent address said that it was noticable that where good roads movement prevailed the percentage of illiteracy was steadily decreasing. Another thought comes?the greatest foe to good roads is ignorance. Only that and nothing more is keeping the new South from i a universal system of well graded: and well built roads. Ignorances of j the possibilities of good roads at mod I erate cost. Sandclay roads do not cost much and every county could use the "King" drag?hut they do not know?IGNORANCE. ! The town authorities certainly ought to appoint a building committee, and then by ordinance provide that no building whatever shall be erected or improvements made on any already erected with out first submitting the plans to to the building committee and securing its consent ' A short walk around the town will ; convince anyone of the necessity of ; some such provision if there is to be i auy regards for the future "looks" of 1 the town.

The tremendous profits which the mail order houses have made the past year show that their patrons did not pot the bargains ttev have supposed. To read the catalogues of these houses one would suppose that they were practically giving away things out of sheer goodness of heart. But the truth is that taking quality, measure, and other things into consideration the man who patronizes such concorns does not do nearly so well as if he bought of bis home merchants. The quality of the mail o.der goods are usually inferior, there is generally a shortage in quantity and measure, and there are often vexatious delays and loses for one man who buys The fact that one mail order house last year cleared six million dollars profiit speaks for itself. - - 1 I _____ ] NT I that we have opened the building recently plete line of oceries ; i Cigars.

Augusta, Ga., March 16.?Senator Tillman does not believe that he will ever recuperate from his recent illness. This was the tenor of an inter- _ view from him last night, at the close 1 of the Caro'inian's spring shopping | trip to Augusta. When told that he was looking much better than might be expected after reading newspaper accounts of his health, he said: "My appearance misleads every one I look well and tell the people that lam well, but I find when ! try to do the things I formely did, and wish to now that I am weak, and not able to do much.
