MH ATTEMPT TO BRIBE COUNTY ' BOARD OF CONTROL. Perhaps s number of our readers have JMard of the rumor, to the effect that an effect was made at the recent eleotion fitr dispensers to bribe the Oonnty tcaorri for one of the many positions. It it outrageous that any one should at- isnckanuctat this stage of our ttion in this community, but it is znfietbing to know that the offer was • ’ a eperaed by the members of the County in a manner that is very com- 1 bit. We congratulate the mem- of the board upon their high ttand fwlaw, order and decency. We also scmgratulate them in not only rapudia* tag the letter but also in taking action to see that the guiltY party be brought to trad. Two hundred dollars for the Job of dispenser! The idea is sickening. W» smcerely hope that the board will seavy out their intention to bring the matter before the grand jury, and that toa grand jury will then deal with it without fear, favor or affection. We have no fear, however, about wiat the grand jury will do. The ** • e yreeent grand jury have already made wmselve* famous by the strong hold they have taken in matters, and we feel perfectly safe in saying that if there * ear truth in the statement, that an attempt has beeo^ made at bribery, the pemon charged will be sure to go before a jury of his country. Let this matter to probed to the bottom. It cannot be ltd up or smoothed over. When are people in our community who 10 harm in bribing public officials it ils a condition of affairs that is alarming. Such a sentiment cannot be tolerated for a moment and all such persons should be taught a lesson, y • Let the board do its duty by bringing mm matter to the grand jury, if there is as? truth in it. let the grand jury do toev doty by presenting it to the court, aat then let the court and the petit jorum do their duty. j LEVY A TAX FOR BETTER R0AD5. Thu system of working the roads in 'OoUuftm county from time immemorial has been one of the biggest farces that we have ever seun during our short ex* puritnee in lift. Every male citizen ■uswsun eighteen EBifriaxTy "years, who —aot exempt b y law, are supposed to dfeter pay a commutation tax of two for eight Ms Pi! stimulate the TORPID LIVER ftren>rthen the reguiute the bowels, SfA are equal*..! as an ANTI-BILiOUS MtDICINt, In malarial districts tbeir virtues ars wMciv rtcoemrto, as they possess peculiar properties In freeing the system from that pcisoa. Elegantly sugar copied. Take No Substitute. have [aid the two dollars, but there have been precious few who have work ed eight days or tny days at all. „ The result is that our roads are in a most I . . n deplorable condition. It is true that the supervisor has authority to prosecute overseers for not working the roads, but when there is a sentiment pervading every nook and corner of the county that there is no use to work the roads, it would be an up hill business to at tempt to work the roads by force. There are very few sections that have been worked for years and we see no ■Jhope of having them worked in the near future under the present system. We believe that there is only one way of handling this matter satisfactory, and that is by taxation. During the last session of the legislatufe the coun ty board of commissioners of Marlboro County were authorized and required to • ' ‘V 1 .■*. levy a special tax of one mill and the county of Marion two milla, to be ex* pended under the supervision of the county super visor for the public roads and bridges of those counties. We be lieve that the county commissioners of Colleton should have authority to* do the same. If the supervisor hod at his disposal six. or eight thousaud dollars every year it would not be long before Colleton would have roads that every citizen would be proud of. At any rate, ^the present system is a failure, and it is high time that we were trying some other plan. men who WORK OF THE EXECUTIVE COM- HITTEE. We heartily agree with nearly all of the work done by the Democratic party at their session held in Walterboro last Thursday. It was a very graceful act of the committee to elect M. P. Howell, Jr., chairman pro tern, to preside over the party in the absence oX liia father. It was not cnly thoughtful on their part on account of the long, faith ful and efficient service of his father to u . the Democratic party of this county, but it was also u wise thing to do, for in our opiuion, it would have been difficult to have fouud a man better I able to discharge the duties of the position. We also desire to congratulate the committee upon the adoption of the resolutions, offered by D. L. Smith, relating to the conduct of the approach ing campaign. We join with them in the desire that the whole people nnite in making the approaching campaign one of honesty, parity and truth, and for the hearty condemnation of ail un fair, degrading and unmanly conduct on the part of any candidate or any voter. We are glad to see that the com mittee expects to nse its influence to root out The evil iu the use of money and liquor in the election. We desire to pledge to the committee, here anil now, that They will have the support of this newspaper in their efforts along this line.. We expect to do everything iu our power fom&ke it impossible for any man to buy votes and for any man to sell votes. A little later we will publish the law as passed by the legis lature relating to this subject. Wedonot sgree with the committee in their resolution placing the magis trates before the people in the primary election. We believe that much evil has resulted from such a systen^, and tee no good whatever, that It can do, except to create strife iu every town ship and to invite trades, combinations, deals and many other things detrimen tal to good government. It is true that it reieaves the members of the de lega tion of a very embarrassing situation, when it comes to make the appoint ment, hat wf do not think this a suffi* dent roasok so place them before the Candidate Cards.
