Complaints of conditions of the roads have come into us from alt parts of the County. The Kershaw and Bethune road from Ker shaw to Kirkley's Mill Creek Is almoet impassable, and we recommend that this road be worked up immediately. In both our November and Mhrch presentments we recommended that the Camden and Liberty Hill road be attended to. Hie Old road from Cam den to Liberty 'Hill was submerged by waters from the Wateree Power Com pany's dam some time iast fail, which caused the abandonment of about eight miles of this road, The Power Com pany has built a new road about one half the distance, but -has al^andoned the work, and has moved their force to some other parts. We do not un derstand why this Company should be allowed to take possession of Comity property this way and not be made to replace Qr pay for It. We again re commend that this matter be attended to at once. We also recommended that all rail road, crossings be floored. This recom mendation has been ignored. We also recommend that a telephone and lights be pot in at the river bridge. Wte un derstand that no telephone has been put in at all, and that the lights that were put in were insufficient. . We recommend that all our former recommendations be carried out We -thank yrrti the presiding Judge, Solicitor and all other Court officials for the many courtesies shown us dur ing this term of Court.

He says < that the damage was round to be far greater in his Jong staple cotton than in 4>he short staple. It appears to him that his fields are hurt worse than those of his neighbor* In many places he toad found where as high as nine squares to* the stalk had been punctured and. withered, 'and he is ap prehensive for fear that the damage will be greater as the crop advances. BeU Weevil in The County. We were shown several specimen! of boll weevil on Tuesday gathered from the farm of Mr. T. M. McCaskilJ In West Waieree. County Agent J. W.
