The article fol lows : “ Anderson County leads the State; and probably tho South, in good, smooth country dirt roads and in the new system of road making, in every direction from Anderson, run broad smooth roads to tho limits of the coun ty, which are so thoroughly graded and constructed as to rival many of the noted drive-days of the North uud East. And these roads are playing a very important part in increasing the volume of business in the city Of An derson. To the citizens of Anderson County it is now a matter of surprise that our common roads have been for so many years and so universally neglected, amidst so much progress and prosperity in every other direc tion. It is indeed remarkable. Trade relations, both interstate and, foreign, have brought magnificent and thor oughly f quipped railroads, which span the oounify in every direction, and connect Us with al nost every .market of the world, but tho common roads over which every pound of produce must be hauled to feed the great thoroughfares of commerce aud travel have been, for many years, even more than a century, sadly neglected yar aiter year. The Legislatures iiave assembled, enacted laws pertaining to almost everything else, but to intro duce a new system of road making either never occurred to them or seemea fraught with so many difficul ties, no one appeared willing to un dertbkett until in l* , a.

"Until l was 15 years of age he would frequently entertain me with stories descriptive of scenes and asso ciations in his early life, especially in Florence, Naples, Venlde, Rome aud in the Austria capital, and it was the impressions thus made in my boyhood that deepened as the time rolled on and 1 became old enough to understand little circumstances that seemed to corroborate the truth of his remark to my mother that if he was not what he appeared she would know all in due time.” “ Did he never hint as to the events of the past or the possibilities of the tutu de in which he might become in terested ? ’’ “Only that if it were possible I should preserve the diamond cluster ^you see on his old fashioned satin utsBi'ti name ic any in Cuba, at tbe bead patriot*, unskilled a* ary tertica, gt-neially * and receiving only V the few expedition* tiled -Slat outwitted Mart.n-z Catnpn* er in commabd of ^O.utkl men and posnerRcd of ail the resources of modern warfare.
