We have all along felt that the pur pose in having everything in ccuoccl- ton with the dispensary basinets made I nblic wa - at a*aied by Senator Chris tensen, and nothing less will satisfy ibe spirit of the law. The report <>f the County Dispensaries is the only one that we have seen which goes for enough and we are sorry not to have space to reproduce it in foil.

She mid her room was too small and not al all salted to the work of her grades. Trustees aad patrons, what are you «*hg to do about this? Isn’t this a reputation for Walter boro to have? And what makes it worm it is deserved. Are we always to have the worst of •varytking? Are we going to -be nig gardly when it comes to educating our children? CKitlemen of the School Board, it la np to yon to do somothinj. You r daty is plain, aad yon mast not shirk it. Yonr children aad the children of other patrons need a batter school bnUdlag. They mast have it, or the mm of the town ought to above off their mustaches aad wear dromes. Imagine the ehalrmaa of the school board wearing a dress, and piping: "We can’t do an? better."

We are authorized by the county supervisor to state that he Is busy or- ganiziug the road working forces in the different townships, by seonring the service of a competent overseer in each township, who will have charge of the work in said township, and that work Balance to credit of Beaufort will begin in the different townships as County DDpenfary 4,991 76 soon as the county treasurer makes his I defits. fr r»A Amount owed creditors 13 997 43 8,905 57 ROYALS , - A ROYAL is made from Absolutely pure Cream of Tartar,—»a pure, product - Aids digestion—adds to the healthfulness of food apportionments of the funds collected. We contend thas the provision in the road law making it incumbent upon the county supervisor to expend the money received from the commutation tax in the township from which it was paid, is an unwise provision and is going to be, responsible for the lot of money wasted. A better plan would have been to have placed this money in the {bands of the snpenrlsor and oonnty board, with in- •traction to begin at the courthouse and thoroughlv work each rood In turn, to the boundry line of the county. In this way the supervisor would have been in position to purchase proper machinery and could have a force of workmen, ^ sufficiently large to have accomplished much in the way of permanent im- 1 provement. One competent overseer would have been sufficient. If the road in any portion of the conn- ty had become impassable, be oenld have bed it worked by contract or have eent oat a gang from hie main force to hare pat tbe special piece of road in good condition, then return to the main gang- Aa tbe ptw provided now, this little pittance will be dieelpeted over the oonnty end little good aooompliehed. It will be impossible to purchase a set of machinery for each township, and as a consequence we fear the people are not going to be eatieffed with the manner of work done on our public roads. We refer this to theeareful oonaldeca' tkm of oar legislators aad we trait this law will be so amended at the aext torn of tbe legislator* Goods on hand—Consumers price ....
