Sanuifer, located a few miles from town, was totally destroyed by lire. Mr. Sandifer was at the home of his father, Mr. 1*. W. Sandifer, at the time, and there was no one at the place, when the fire broke out. Mr. Bellinger arrived just as the roof of the building was falling in, but in good time to turn out the two mules in the stables and save them from being burned to death. The barn and contents were a ' total loss, and Mr. Sandifer's loss is something like $500 or $000, with not a dollar of insurance. He lost 200 bushels of corn, ;>00 bushels of cotton seed, 15 sacks of cotton seed meal, as well as a considerable quantity of fodder and hay. The fire is thought to be the act of an incendiary, but there is no clue as to the perpetrator of the act. Card of Thanks.

They are a public blessing, free , and open to all. , Business of all kinds is benefitted by ( easy, safe, and rapid communication. . Railroads, paved streets, and trollopm ears are but extreme cases of good roads. , If these benefit the cities and towns, , where they are located and med, they . only prove the great necessity for their ( multiplication and extension. Good public roads in the country are on the , same line, and as much a necessity for the full development of country life as arc ] the others for city life. In fact, a city j life is only possible as an outcome of ] country life, so there should be only the full accomplishment of the country con- , venience. 1 Facility in getting to market is a prime , factor in the highest prosperity of any j community; marketing is a vital part of , all successful agriculture. The import- . ance of this feature has too long been j overlooked. The farmer is rpore depend: ] out upon markets t)iau any class of ] labor. Selling is a vital part Of his very existence. If lie cannot sell, he need not grow crops. To him then good roads are of the very greatest importance, Tfip better t{ip roads tJm greater his profits, I . will not go over the oft repeated but ever j true arguments 011 this line. His financi- ' al success, his social happiness, his moral 1 and spiritual growth are all involved in ( the road question. Nay, his very existence * ai a farmer the continuance of his J children in the same line of business arc J frequently decided by the character of ' the roads in his community. Many a J men ha* moved to town to get rid of flip j j ruts in summer and the mud iu winter. The cities might as well have their | I streets unpaved and expect to grow as for the country to expect permanent and in- ! creasing prosperity without good roads. 1 They are at once a luxury aud a necessitv ^ to farm prosperity, How can we get them ? Much easier than most of us have thought. It only requires a little proper planning. A good system will soon us good roads at a post that will pot bf* at al! bqrdensomt'. 1 [ The two leading items of expense are 1 material and labor, and labor is the great- \ i est of these. This can be furnished at a low figure by usiug the convict labor on . the public roads, "ft is flie proper piaqp : for convict labor and the only proper ; [ piftCC Ui WWIK It. nuuiu tiou tutj come more or less in competition with | free labor and contribute more or less to ' , the building up of private fortunes of afew individuals at the expense of the general J ! public. When a crime is committed, all j I the cost of trial and conviction is borne | by the community where the crime oc? I curred. Then, as a simple matter of justice to the community, anything of , I value resulting from its labor of the persons so convicted ought to be distributed : j among the people who sulfpred t|ie loss : j and hope the expense. This can be done : in 110 other way than by working the ; convict for the benefit of that community. And the public road is the only place that this can be done. The public road , belongs to everybody, is used by every- | body, is kept up by everybody. The road 1 ; tax 'is no suiall matter and can be light- ' cned in 110 other way. A simple plan: Lay off a system of 1 roads consisting of two public highways crossing at right angles in the county 1 sent of each county, one running North ' and South, the other East and West, and meeting the roads from adjoining counties. Let these be macadamized or made otherwise good permanent roads. Let , the State bear one-half of the expense, 1 the towns one-fourth and the county the , other fourth. Let the construction of these be completed in ten years, it win | be found by examination that ten years I of the annual road tax in most of the counties will be equal to the cost of these roads. The State might pay most or all of its half in labor ajul notorial. The towns will receive the greatest benefit from these roads for a long time, and should not grumble at being taxed for their fourth. The country people will , be helped so much that they can easily alTord to bear their share of the burden. This nlan would give us a system of parallel roads running each way throughout the whole conn try about twenty nines apart. The people, seeing the advantage of these, would soon devise ways of building crossroads and feeders, and at the (*.\piratiou of the ten years the plan could be extended and modified so as to suit the local surroundings and the whole country soon supplied with good roads. The State would soon get back all of its money in the increased value of taxable property. I have not room here to go into details as to engineers, superintendents and traveling prison cages, etc., but all of these be easily arranged. What I want to say is, tliis'or some better plan should at once be demanded by thp peqnle so strongly that every legislator would feel it his duty and interest to see that it is at once provided for. No people are more interested in this than farmers. Wake up, fellow-toilers, and never go to sleep until you have secured good roads to market, to school, to church, and to your neighbors. John M. Hunter, Midway, S. G\, November9th, 1901. Wedding in Spartanburg. Spartanburg, November 12.?The F'rst Methodist Church was mica uus arternoon with friends who* witnessed the marriage of Mr N. M. Sally and Miss Margaret Cooper. The church was beautifully decorated. Mrs Warren Dupre played the organ and. amid music and flowers, surrounded by loved ones and friends, the sacred words were spoken. Thv Key Dr .T. L. Stokes, of Charleston, grandfather of the bride, performed the ceremony most impressively. Mrs Marvin Boyd was . dame of honor and Mr. J. S. Sal}v was best man. The bride entered leaning on | the arm of hpr father, Mr Frank PJ Cooper, the popular representative of the Columbia Slate. The groom is assistant principal of the Carlisle Fiting School, an educator of ability and prominence. December 1st, the day for the opening i of the exposition at Charleston, being! Sunday, it has been determined that a thanksgiving service be held at the exposition auditorium in the afternoon of day, which will consist of songs, prayer and addresses by distinguished men of the gospel. Application for Pardon. Governor McSwecney has been asked to pardon Feider Ionian, white, who was convicted of rape here several years ago and sentenced to seven years in the penitenitary. We clip the following from the Columbia Record in regard to it: Feider Ionian, white, of Bamberg county, convicted of rape upon a white girl, and sentenced to seven years in llie penitenitary. The petition and letters of recommendation from prominent citizens of the county, including officials, indicate the supposed victim was a girl of bad character and that the whole case is one of blackmail. The after discovered evidence has led all but two of tl.e jurors to request an unconditional pardon. The two jurors who didn't sign are stated to be out of the county. The governor will go carefully over the testimony before acting. l)r. Bailey and the Greens. I don't know why I am writing this little incident, unless it was brought up by the item I read in last week's IIkkai.ii concerning the live condition of Prof. Bailey's Institute at Edgefield. So many readers of the Herald know Dr. T.M.Bailey?father of Prof. Bailey? and like me, love and reverence him; that I feel sure they will relish the recital of any of his virtues or idiosyncrasies. My first meeting with him was at an Association. He sat before a sumptuously filled table ai d to every request made by host or hostess to have turkey or ham, pig, salad, etc., he calmly and politely declined. Things were growing rather awkward for the hostess, when he spied !?hie turnip greens over in a remote eoriler of the table; "Sister, give me *ome of those greens, some corn-bread and pot licker." The platter was cleaned and lie asked for "some more greens." Attention was turned to the other preachers and when the host asked Bro. C. A. Wilkins what part of the turkey he would have, Dr. Bailey paused long enough in the eating of "the greens" to saj : "Give hipi the leg and breast and all the rest." Mr. Editor, that great and noblc-hoarted man swept out the dish of greens and then politely folded his doily and knife and fork and would not eat another mouthful. lie kept the crowd in a successive laugh, managing to gracefully get a piece of wit out just as a fork full of greens went in! Charming man, excellent company, consecrated Christian is Dr. T- M. Bailey, of Greenville! M. 0. Lanier. Death Of Mrs. Lillian Blytlie Mayfield Greenville, Nov. 7.?Mrs. Lillian Blythe Mayfield, widow of the late William Mayfield, died on the 5th inst., in the 73d year of her age.

HOLDING THE WOLF BY THE EARS That's what you arc doing if you ignore our saving in Buggies, Wagons, Harness, Whips, etc., as compared with those of other people. As soon as your strength gives out or rather you are closed out, you will see your disaster. But why take such chances ? You get no better iroods from others by paying more than you.need pay us. On the contrary, you are more likely to get an inferior article, for we arc very particular as to the material that goes into our BUGGIES, WAGONS, HARNESS, etc., while we keep the manufacture] up to the highest standard of workmanship, below which he knows he cannot go. It is not so long since we opened up business here, but to look at our sales, you would think we were the only people in this country selling Buggies, Wagons Harness, etc. Let us hold the wolf for you.
