Thirsday, February 15, 1900.
Hon. H. II. Cruin has been mentioned
as a candidate for liquor
commissioner, and would make a
good one, but it is not probable that
he will accept the place.
* *
It seems rather strange that it's
I easy enough for American newspapers
to get news of the South African
war from Boer sources, and
very little from England.
The farmers are adopting resolugf
tions against the fertilizer trust, and,
we suppose, buying as much fertilizer
as usual. Resolutions don't kill
out trusts, and if our farmers want
to defeat this one they will have to
stop nsing fertilizer.
Another gnberuatorial candidate
has developed in the person of Hon.
F. B. Gary, speaker of the house of
representatives, and it is also said
| that Senator John (J. Sheppard, of
fev Edgefield, will be a candidate. The
race for governor will no doubt be a
lively mix-up.
It is rumored that Senator :f John
M L. McLaurin will resign his seat in
the Benate in order to accept a
? place'on the Philippine commission,
l|.. and in case he resigns before the adjonrnment
of the legislature that
^ body will elect his successor. Several
candidates have been spoken of.
Cotton has gone to eight cents.
This is very significant just at the
time when Southern planters are
preparing fof this year's crop. We
earnestly advise our farmers not to
g| he misled by this high price. Reduce
the acreage, for we firmly believe
a large crop means a low price.
iMr. J5ryan nas just returnea irom
a campaign tour through New England,
a!nd says he found the people
fast deserting the Kepublican party.
If we remember aright this was the
way last campaign year, but the vote
at the election showed up t very different
It might be a good idea
not to convert them while the campaign
is young. It gives time for
changes before the election.
The house of representatives
should squelch Dr. I. Itf. Woods, of
Clarendon. His speeches in that
body this season have cost the State
lots of money, and we know the
gentleman well enough to say that
we $re sure he did not advance a
single idea of merit It is to be
hoped the voters of Clarendon will
not be foolish enough to send him to
the house again.. ?Jt is a serious reflection
upon the intelligence of voters
when an ass like Woods finds
his way into a law-making body.
We publish elsewhere an account
of a sene3 of experiments made by
. Clemson College to test the utility
W. of.hro^d, iires on sandy roads. The
test was made on Senator S. G. Mayfield's
plantation and therefore lias
\ peculiar interest to onr readers. The
jj*V- tests demonstrated what we have all
the time contended, that our sandy
roads well ditched and piked, with a
. ' slight admixture of clay to give
^ v them firmness and thoronghly rolled
will make good thoroughfares. A
toad roller can be bought for $200,
and the County Commissioners can
make no expenditure that will pay
a richer dividend.
* *
P *
State Superintendent McMahan,
g in his address to the teachers of
Bamberg county at the courthouse
on Saturday, gave our local educators
much wholesome advice, and
f-; made several valuable suggestions
M . for the betterment of our school
* system. Very truly he declared that
lio county could have prosperous
and progressive schools without the
- '.4 supervision of a competent superin^
. tendent. Captain Sease in his dual
capacity of Superintendent of Education
and Auditor has too much
:
work to do. The offices should be
divided one *from ti;e other. If
proper attention is given to the duties
of one position, the just wants
of the other must suffer. The education
of our children is a matter of
such paramount importance that we
should be willing to make any sacrifice
for their benefit. Bamberg is
the only county in the State that
makes its Superintendent of Education
perform the duties of another
office equally important. It will
. cost money to divorce the offices, but
it will be mouey well spent, and the
texpayers will not grudge the cost.

-J. A* Spann is making a specialty of
fine shoes now> and his prices are right.
ft#-: *
The rise in prices does the news!
papers no good. Prices of material
and paper have gone up almost lifty
I per cent, in the last few months, yet
few weeklies and not one daily have
raised the subscription price. Then,
too, prices of job printing have not
gone up in proportion to the increased
cost of paper and material.
Verily the newspaper man has reason
to complain of higher prices
more than anybody else.
***
We trust the legislature will refuse
to exempt any county from the
operations of the wide tire law. The
r* -? i i it :t
way ro nna our wnetner n is
or bad is to make it general in its
application. We who favor 'wide
tires are willing to leave the mattei
to the people after they have tried
wide tires a few years, believing
that the result will vindicate out
judgment. If the law is not good
after a fair trial, repeal it.
* *
*
Bamberg's tax levy has not beer
raised, but remains at three mills
the same as last year. We regret
this, and believe our representatives
made a mistake in not having th<
levy raised at least one-half mill
The three mill levy now brings in i
revenue of something over $6,000
which, from the best informatioi
we can gather, is not enough to paj
the running expenses of the county
The county board now com plait
seriously of a lack of money, and iJ
the levy is not raised the county wil
get in debt. Our county affairs art
1 " Ml
managed as econmicany as possion
uow, and we can see no avenne fori
reduction of ordinary expenses.
* *
*
The mo3t important change in th<
dispensary law is that of distribut
ing profits to the various counties
The old plan was totally unfair
and we are glad the change ha:
been adopted by the legislature. Ii
this connection we publish the fol
lowing editorial extract from tin
State:
"Murmurs 'not loud, but deep,
have been provoked by the system
which has diverted a lajge part o
the liquor profits of counties when
the dispensary is established anc
lucrative to counties where it eithei
does not exist or else has secured i
precarious foothold and is not re
munerative. This, of course, ha:
been because these latter countiei
by reason of the scantiness of thei
school funds and the shortness o
their school terms require a greatei
amount to make up the sum fixe*
by the constitution as the miuimun
per pupil. Bamberg county, foi
example, contributed last year $20,
117 to the dispeusary and receive*
$756 for its school fund, and Ander
son contributed $51,178 and receive*
$1,866 for its schools, while Marlboro
contributed nothing aud receiv
ed $1,546 for its schools, and Horrj
contributed nothing and receive*
$12,578.
"This is changed by the new act
and under its provisions the countiei
and towns where the dispensary re
venne originates will receive a mucl
larger share of the profits. Th(
proportion is difficult to fix because
of the requirement that the Stat*
dispensary shall charge but 10 pei

ty dispensaries, but as the profits
are considerably more than 20 per
cent, it follows that the local shares
will be larger than they have been/

RROAP TIRES TESTED.
An Interesting Experiment Made 011
a Bamberg Comity Sandy Road by 8
the Assistant Agriculturalist of b
Clemson College. c
Now that the broad tire bill has '
become a law, it may be well for our ^
farmers to inform themselves as to '
exactly what effect broad tires will ^
have on our sandy roads. In a re- e
cent circular issued by Clemson Col a
lege, is the result of a series of tests ^
made on a stretch of sandy road in
this county. The tests were made
on Senator S. G. May tie Id's plantation,
about one and one-half miles *
, from Denmark, under the supervis- t!
ion of Mr. C. M Conner, assistant 1
iitriMPiilf-nrnlwf- nf fhppnllpcrp. The C
* - o? .
spot selected was a very sandy piece 11
; of load. There was no clav nearer P
? than two feet of the surface, and 1]
. the loose sand was worked up by v
travel to the depth of about eight
1 inches. There are, as i9 well known, e
,r only two conditions to be found on t
a road like this, namely, wet and t
dry. So two tests were made, one s
y c
while the road was dry and one c
while it was wet. The report goes t
( on to say:
When the road is dry the narrow tired *
' wheel pushes the sand to either side and \
^ sinks until it finds a surface firm enough t
5 to bear it up. The dry sand falls back ?
j and fills the track, so that each wheel
must force the sand out of its way every ^
time it passes along. The broad tire i
1 forces a part of the sand to either side J
i and rolls over a part of it. The sand <
l does not fill the track to the same extent j
j as that of the narrow tire because the 1
wheel does not sink as deep and the track j
is much broader. But even after the j
) broad tire has been run in the same track (
f for a number of times, the sand is pushed i
1 forward in the bottom of the track by the
j broad tire, thus forming a wave sand in
front of each wheel, causing the draft to t
be much greater than it would be if the 1
1 loose sand could be made firm enough to 1
prevent this. The sand packs better J
when wet, but not enough to make any ,
3 great difference in the draft. 1
The first test was made August 17,1899. (
The sand was very dry, no rain haviug j
fallen for more than 30 days. There was {
' loose, dry' sand on the surface to the depth i
5 of six or eight inches. The narrow tire '
> was run in the tr^ck made by ^travel, the x
. broad tire was run in tlie same track alter j
, the narrow tire. The narrow tire cut in
about eight inches and the broad tire
about three and one-half inches. The
road was nearly level. *

The second test was made October 3d,

? test was made in the same place as the
r one mentioned above, hence the condi^
tions were the same, except that the sancl
r was wet. The sand did not fall back in
* the rut as much as it did when dry. The
1 narrow tired wheels cut in about seven
r inches, the broad tired wheels formed a
rut about three inches deep.

pulled lighter than the narrow both on

5 greater on the dry sand. It will also be '
noticed that there is very little difference *
1 in the draft of the broad tire on the wet j
J and dry sand. . j
' It has been shown by the Missouri tests '
i that the broad tire will improve a clay I
road. In order to see what effect it ,
would have on the sandy road the broad i
3 tired wagon was run five times in the f
same track and then the draft tested. 1

1 This shows that after the road has be- *
come level the broad tire passes over it *
easier than it does when freshly cut up. 'j
The broad tire had formed a rut about 1
four inches deep. The depth of the rut 3
increased very little after the first or sec- ?
1 ond run. t
The narrow tired wagon was run in the r
track made by the broad tire to see what *
condition the road was left in for the nar- *
row tired wagon. The results are as fol- s

The narrow tire cut down about four t
inches in the rut of the broad tire, the c
road being packed made the draft heavier 1
than it was in the loose sand. The above *
, shows that if broad tires were in general '
use a load of 3,573 pounds could be hauled ?
with the same draft required to haul a
load of 3,000 pounds on a narrow tired '
wagon. One run of the narrow tire was s
sufficient to destroy all trace of the track
made by the broad tire. a

Its pleasant taste and prompt and efTec- p

of whooping cough it liquefies the tough *
mucus, making it easier to expectorate, 1

Senator May field's Speech.
We publish herewith Senator S. G.
layfield's remarks in the Senate while
lie dispensary nill was under discussion,
t will be seen from this that our Senator
ontended for the most important changes
a the law, viz: The abolishing of the
- * - 1 1 4.1. ...f 1 I
ircseni Sttlie uouru, uie mcuiuu ui uu\tig
whiskey, and the more equitable diision
of profits:
Mr. President: The opinion was
urrent, among the members of this Genral
Assembly, that no dispensary legislaion
could pass the Senate. I did not share
hat belief for I knew each member peronally,
and however much we differ' in
>pinions on questions presented for our
:onsideration, yet each Senator desires
hat the laws of our State be enforced.
It is said "too much time has been
riven to liquor legislation." It is true
oo much time has been given and great
abor expended in controlling liquor, but
he dispensary has regulated, curtailed,
ind jninimized the sale of intoxicating
iquors.
This Senate has recognized the much
rood accomplished by the dispensary,
ind in obedience to the public demand
las passed the bill which I offered which
las for its purpose the regulating of the
State dispensary. Should this bill, as
low amended by the house, be accepted
iy the Senate -without going to a free
inference committee where it will be
tilled by delay, I respectfully submit,
Mr. President, that my substitute for the
jraydon bill should pass as amended for
ts merits are threefold.
First. It abolishes the board of con:rol,
which has so grown so quarrelsome,
ind which is not such a board as meets
;he wishes of our people. No true Caroinian
is proud of the personel of the
iresent board. If there is a Senator on
his floor who commends its conduct let
lim arise and say so. This bill gives a
nembership of three?we hope it will be
letter than the old for we have shorn it
>f its power?for
Second. The directors must advertise
'or the purchase of liquor both within
md without this State. Any person who
vishes to sell the dispensary is required'
.0 put in a sealed bid?put the bid in an
mvelope addressed to the State Treasurer,
Columbia, S. C., and sent by express
to. him. These bids are delivered to
he directors in public and by them openid
in public, the bids recorded in a book
icept for the purpose and if the price and
quality are acceptable the bids are awardid
for the quarter, three months, at the
prices named. The goods are then orderid
out by the dispensary commissioner
and in such quantities as may be necessa?ary.
It is flexible enough to allow the
dispensary all the goods of a kind needed
for a quarter at the price named and the
seller enters into contract to furnish
these goods according to the grade ami
quantity needed.
Thus we cut off the constant pouring
in of whiskey drummers, put it out of the
power to get rebates and throw the completest
hedges around the board. I do
iiot believe there will be any more scandal.
There is no attempt to blacken the
iharacttr of any one, and I do not hesitate
to say that there are good men on
that board, but they can stand before the
General Assembly for re-election. The
Thud proposition commends itself to
the favorable consideration of this body n
that it lets each county govern, with bui
flight supervision, its own whiskey busiless
and get its profits. The county
Doards are appointed on the recomraenlation
of the representatives in the Geniral
Assembly and thus we are assured
hat each county will do its best. Since
he dispensary law was enacted some
owns and cities had no control over the
ippointments and would not enforce the
aw, partly because their people were opposed
to the law and partly because the
profits made by the dispensary went into
he State Treasury and were shared out
imong counties and nothing left them,
[heir taxes, county and municipal, were
ncreased without any benefit to them.
Phis law gives the people through their
epreseniauves a. vuicc xu mc cuwucnent
and management of the law, but
ibove all, the strongest point in its favor
s:
Fourth. The profit made by each
:ounty is left in the county treasury to be
livided equally between the county and
own, except 10 per cent, to the State. Let
is see how this will work. Take my couny,
Bamberg, it pays into the Treasury of
he State 126,117; our county profit is in
ound numbers $4,000; that is one-half to
he county and the other to the towns.
Jnder this bill our profits for the county
ind towns ought to be at least $13,000.
fhis money expended on our roads and
lighwavs will give us first-class roads
md reduce taxation. It will give a net
aving to the people of our county of
noney to be expended within the countylie
sum of $13,000, thus giving to our
>eople a net gain of $S,ooo under this
>ill. But some say this money should be
.pent on schools. My answer is it is beter
to levy a tax on each county for
chools where the people want more
noney for that purpose. In my county
he people levy special taxes for local
chools, and if they want more schools
ve can raise our local tax levy. Besides
t is not proper to rely for the support of
>ur schools on money arising from the
ale of whiskey.
These are sufficient reasons for the sup>ort
of this bill. It has been my earnest
ffort since 1896 to turn the profits into
he county treasury; to cleanse the State
lispensary. Why deprive the counties of
heir wealth to carry it to the State Capial?
There its influence is bad. In all
egislation for the haudling of liquor the
entral idea should be the curtailing of
ts evil influences. The dispensary law
las had this effect, and I hope the conumption
of liquor will grow less and
ess. I, therefore, favor my substitute as
dopted by the House, and hope that the
enate will concur.
