TRAGEDY IN WALTERBORO. A sad sight Saturday afternoon was that of a young man—almost s boy—being taken to jail by a policeman for 1 enig dtunk . ~VVe saw him KOJIMflpd and pushed •long by the pp|BjtUuau; wu weio Ailed with pit|a indignation —pity for thrfcoy and indigna tion at the fystem which makes men drink the stutl and then punishes them for being the vic tims of tbo flap set for them by the county; indignation, too, that the strongmen—if there be any—of Walter boro and Colleton •onnty will sit down and allow this thing to continue. Did this bey’s mother sit up Saturday night and wait for the return of her “wandering boy?” In fancy we can see her as she lies awake, or perhaps paces the floor, straining every nerv3 to hear the footsteps of >her boy. We can see her anguish as the clock strikes twelve; and, no footstep. Une, two, three, four, live, six and no boy. 8he can stand it no longer, and tushes out to hunt for him; who, per haps, never failed her thus. Picture, if you please, the able and extensive arguments made tliruu^h those offered columns by Mr. Crosby Mr. Towles and others, which I have read very carefully, Mr. Sanders and Mr Way arc to be complimented for the steps th^yhave also taken in this discussion, 1 for one do believe that our body of representa tives will strive to give us a better road law' I for one am in favor of good roads but I don’t believe in too much taxes to build roads, make it optional so the people can pay or work. Now I think we should pay one mill, so we can reach every body as good roads advances the valuation of the property every where. Now before I leave the good road’s question I will say that 1 can take the people in this vincinity that is entitled to pay the commutation . tax and do more work with said hands on the said public highways in this locality in four hours four hands per hand than has been done in two years with all the tax we have paid, except what •| has been done with die chain gang. Now 1 don’t mean to insinuate on any officer, I sup pose they have done their duty under the law, so you gentle men who make the law can see by this the reason why I am in lavor of working in place of being taxed altogether for heart-Hebe of ihut mother, the building roads, 1 am also in misery and woe when someone jfavor of organizing the county NEWS FROM WEEKS.

Tomor row your boy or mine may be spending the night in jail for being drunk. Somebody’s will. Thie is tragedy! In the face of it loo, while the tragedy is daily enacted in our midst, men sit supinely and some even de fend the accused traffic in human blood and life for the sake of revenue. How long, O Israel! THE LIQUOR ride the taxation argument hard. “Think deeply,” they say to the farmers of Ohio, “before you destroy a large portion of the State’s revenue by voting your county dry, and in the end have yr nr taxes doubled.” One of the chief charges on pulic revenue is the mpport of 'police and jails.
