Sometime since we heard much of

few dry goods boxes in a store that
dosen’t advertise would be all that is
needed.
Walterboro is getting to be recog

NR WINSLOW ON GOOD ROADS.
At a mass meeting held at the
Court House, Winnsboro, re
cently, D H Winslow, the road
expert in charge of constructing
a mile of road in Fairfield county
is reported to have spoken as
foDows. v<
He first wished to emphasize
the fact that no expenditure op
a road is justifiable that does not
add tO'the value of land and de
crease the cost of transportation.
This means the discontinuance
of the abominable and almost
universal practice of throwing
sod and other vegetable matter
in the road. In some of
fem, arid that also as h result of |
this incompetent construction
it caused the farmers to lose
f.'K)5,000,000 annually.
He took as an illustration the
fact that twenty-two bridges had
been washed away in the count)
this spring and contrasted the
conditions in Lancaster county,
where no bridge bad . washed
away when practically the same
rain fell, toghow that thie county
was badly in need of permanent
bridges.
In speaking of the broad tire
that was needed on the wagons
in moat counties of the South,
he said that in one of the North*
ern States after trying unsuccess
fully to tax the narrow tire vehi
cles, a bill was introduced to
exempt from taxation all vehi
cles having broad tires or tires
four inches in width. In this
wsy each wheel acts as a roller
and tends to prolong the life of
the road * In New York State
the specifications stipulated that
the contractor must furnish
wagons on the work with a front
tire, with at least four inches
and the rear tire of six inches in
width* Such wagons mast be so
constructed that the rear wheels
do not follow in the line of the
front wheel. The effect of this
is to thoronghly pack and con-
^lidate the roads.

One of the ministers of Walterboro
seemed to be concerned about the
fact that an address was delivered in
the Methodist church recently by
Col. Featherst.one, and wrote to a
citizen of l^urens to know if the
Colonel were “a baptized member
of any of the churches” etc.
Funny, eh?
The meeting to be held here Sat
urday in the interest of education is
one of the most important meetings
ever held in this ccunty. It is the
plan of our young State Superinten
dent of education, Hon. J. G.
Swearingen. A similar meeting is
to be hald in every county in the
State and the object is to increase
the interest in education in our
State.
Every person interested in educa
tion in this county should be here—
most especially those holding official
positions as trustees or teachers.
We wquki urge every such person in
the county to be here, and if a teach
er is absent it would not be a bad
idea for trustees to beware of em
ploying such teacher. The future
of childhood is of much importance
to be entrusted to the care of the
indifferent.

road was to extend in order that
they might buy land adjoining
