Some Sensible s'usrsestions on the Puzzling Questioiu Mr. Editor : ? la an interchange of views sometime since with sev eral gentlemen on the importance of improving our public roads, I promised to give my views to the public, with the sincere hope that a strong public sentiment will soon ehrystalize into an urgent public demand for the better working of our public highways. L nder the present road laws ef this State a man can he forced to woik twelve days durir?g the year. Thid is, indeed a hardship to the poor m un who has nothing to wear out the loads but his feet, and it is not equity between the State and i hsr citizens to make a man work for others is an indirect manner. V\ ho is it that wears out the roads? Is it uct horses and vehicles? This being so, is it, not right to make -those who wear the roads out work them ? The first step towards this most desirable end is to repeal the pre sent road laws and enact a general road law applicable to all section^ of tiie State and not have different} ia*s for each couatv ia some re- 1 *pecls as there now is. The only wise and just way to keep our high ways in good order is by taxation, j It cannot he done by levying a poll tall, because under the Stato Con stitution, cnly one poll tax can be levied and that goes to the schools. If we should have a new form of coun'y government the matter can: be easily arranged, as it can be un der the present form of county gov ernment, "which is simply statuary and not constitutional. Let three township trustees be appointed or elected in each town ship to be known as road trustees. Let their powers extend to the making and annulling of contracts, etc. Let them advertise for public meetings in the Summer in those townships where their jurisdiction extends and at these meetings, let; out the public roads in the vicinity I of these meetings to the lowest com petent bidder for the space of one vear. The contractor should give ? O a bond twice the size of his bid lor the faithful discharge of his duties.] Che sum that it would take to woik the roads in each township should he turned over the county commis sioners, to be incorporated in their estimate and levied on the taxable property of each township, subject to the check of the road trustees of that township. By letting out the roads each year the tax may be lighter, for when a road is worked one year, next year it will take less to keep it in good order. Specifications as to how the hills should be worked, should be known before a bid is made. The heaviest tax would be the first year. The contractor to do all bridge work, which must be contracted for in his bid and when his road is finished, to receive his check for the same, atter it is in spected by the township trustees and found up to the requirements. The road trustees to receive so much per day fat*-. their services to a certain number of days. Of course this is the general cost of the plan and can be changed in sev eral ways. This is about as just and equitable a way that I kno'v of and will aleviate the burden of the poor to some extent, Let me hope that Kershaw's Representatives will grapple with this question at the next session of the legislature, and give us at least an improve ment on the present system of road working. J. E. Duprk. WEATHER-CHOP BULLETIN.' South Carolina Weather Ser vice tor the Week ending Monday. July 24, 18iK5. The drought which has existed for nearly five weeks over the middle counties has been generally broken by copious showers. These showers have in most cases been in spots, so that reports from any one place in a county is no sufficient in dex of the whole section. Within a space of twenty miles the rainfall varied from two to four iuches and, although wherever good rains oc curred crops have responded quick ly, the distribution has been ex tremely unsatisfactory. The show ers prior to the 19th and 20th last-; ed but a short time and were fol lowed by such intense heat as to steam the plants and render their condition even more critical than heretofore. Cotton is growing and fruiting nicely where it /vas well worked. A good deal has been badly stunt ed and can only make a f-ir crop. Complaints are generally that the plant is blooming near the top. Corn is about ruined in many couuties: the si .k is large but no ears. Late planted corn will do fairly well. Peas, cane and potatoes doing well, melons poor. Gardens burn ed up. Through the middle belt cotton is doing well and though small is fail of fruit. It will depend on future seasons whether tiie fruit will be shed or not. In some sec tions the young fruit has already begun to fall. The chances are against a f crop even with the best of seasons. Barnwell county re ports no improvement in cotton in past week. Fairfield county, how ever, claims the plant has re sponded quickly to the rains and although the yield is a problem for the next two weeks with a fa vorable seasoulthey c^n make a good August crop. Old corn ia too far spent to make much; the rains came too late to do it anv good. Young corn, how ever, with plenty of rain bids fair to make sn average crop. Gardens are about ruined in most counties, watermelons pool, potatoes ex<x'lient, peas look well. Fruit scarce. J. II. Harmok, Ceatral Station, Director. Columbia, C. ^ SH2 HAD A &BEAT HEAD. isurglars Held up the Train but She Held her Money. [From the Jacksonville Times-Union.] She wa? a charming young widow and ?he occupied a section on the Pullman sleeper between Denver and Sun Fran cisco. The train was crowded and the atten tion of the passengers was divided be tween the winsome widowjand tlie young Wriaal couple from the East, who, care less of the comment their actions excited continued to mak* love~l02a< h other with ! carressingjwords and eyes to their heart's (content. " The through passengers had become like friends, and the lo >g w2Nl^nS which the train rushed over roilinj? pra rie and desolate alkali waste were made short by pleasant converse. It was one night when they were de scending the western slope of the great Rockies that the incident occured which makes this story. Several card tables had been estab lished, and at one pf them the bridal couple played as partners against the pretty widow and a handsome young man from Jacksonville, Fla., who was on his way to Southern California. - The game had ended and the voting married couple wero victorious. They were indulging .in a good-humored badi nage at the expense of their late oppon ents md asked if there was a*?y other game than whist they could play. '?Never mind," said the little widow, "luck won't run your way always." Seemingly in answer to her prwpheey came the stern command, * 'Hands up !" and at each end of the car stood two des* peradoes with drawn revolvers. The male passengers were taken bv surprise and there was nothing to do but obey. Slowly the robbers went through tho c:ir and as one held the cocked revolver covering his victim the other secured his valuables. [ When they came to the bridal cou ple they made a rich haul, t!.e dia monds of the bride and the well-tilled purse of the groom and turned to the widow, "Your money, *' iternlv. De murely she handed over h*r purse anu an examination showed the train rob bers that it contained only a railroad ticket, $3.."0 in cash and Southern Ex press money orders for ?1 ,OCO. The they confiscated, but politely handed back the purse and money orders, saying. "If all had yonr forethought eur occu pation would be gone," The little widow married her hand some young card partner in San Fran cisco, and is now living in Jacksonville. Notice.

IT CURES CATARRH in the Head ? perfectly and permanently ? Dr. Sages Catarrh Remedy. SURROUNDED BY SYSTERI! 1 A Great Mistake. A rocets! discovery is that hoadache, dlrzlness, dullness, confusion of tho mind, etc., are due to derangement of the nerve centers which supply tho brain with nerve force j that indigestion, dyspepsia, neuralgia, wind in stomach, etc., arise from tho derange ment of the nerve centerasupplylng these or gans with nerve fluid or force. This is likewise true of many diseases of tho heart and lungs. The nerve system is like a telegraph system, as wlU be seen by the accompanying cot. The little white lines are tho nerves which convey tho nerve forco from tho nerve centers to every part of the body, just as tho electric current is conveyed along the telegraph wires to every station, large or small. Ordinary physicians fall to regard this fact; Instead of treat* ing the nerve cen ters for the cause of the disorders arising therefrom they treat* the part affected. Franklin Miles, M. D., LL. B., the highly celebrated specialist and fvtaaent or nervous diseases, and author of many noted treatises on tbe latter *ubj??ct, long since realized the truth of the lirst statement, and hU Restorative -Nervine is prepared on that principle. Its success in curing all diseases arising from derange ment of^the nervous system is wonder ful. as the thousands of unsolicited testimo nials in iKHsession of the company manufac turing the remedy amply prove. Dr. Miles' Restorative Nervine is a reliable remedy for all nervous diseases. *uch as headache, nervous debility, prostration, sleeplessness, dizziness hysteria, sexual de bility, 8t. Vitus dance, opllepsy, etc. It Is sold by all druggists on a positive guarantee, or sent direct py the Dr. Mile* Medical (Jo., Elkhart, Ind., on receipt of price, $1 per bot tle, six bottles for $5, express prepaid.
