A recent Act makes it obligatory that the State flag be "flung to the breeze" over every school house in the State. A very good law. Twenty-two miles in thirty-one , days the way Beaufort builds roads, t What is Colleton’s record for the same time? Court is over, and it must impress i Jet- ' 1 all the observers that the "game is hardly worth the candle.” A differ ent method of “trying" cases might be adopted that would be more ex peditious. Somebody is responsible for a very great waste of the re sources of the county. What is the matter with Colleton’s candidates? Thev seem a little slow in announcing themselves. Mn other • counties we see whole columns of names already published. One thing ! is certain, if the people do not know j you are in the race you will not be I voted for when election time comes. if l Thinking people are about to con clude that trial by jury is getting to > be a farce. After all one or two |members of the jury decide the to- \ue. In one of the trials recently i concluded here a juror was heard to aay, on coming out of the room, t -‘Mr. , he aay we ought not to % . find the man guilty, and we didn’t, lease Mr. — say it wasn’t right.” Now, for all practical purposes, this juror could have been eliminated from the panel, and a careful study of the jury on this particular case, will disclose the fact that there were . •* others who probably decided the case because "Mr. So and So thought so and so.” It is a question for care ful study. BEAUFORT’S ROAD BUILDING. The visit of the Supervisor and Commissioners to Beaufort 'last Wednesday was very timely and wise. Here they were able to see at work machinery similar to that con templated for the use of Colleton county in the new road law. Their report of what they saw to moat in teresting, and their stock of enthus iasm to new running high. At the April meeting of the Board there will doubUem be steps taken to be gin work of a similar nature on our One thing thev are going to find, though, when they come to purchase machinery to that the fund available for that purpose to not large enough. To use a traction engine to the greatest advantage in building sand- clay roads, it will be neceanry to have a train of wagons to haul clay or aapd. In addition to this a good roller to essential, a road-plow, etc. To purchase all this the Legislature provided only $3,000! Twice that sum can be very economically spent on equipment and with the balance of the road funds of the county mote permanent work may he done in a year than baa been done in this county in the last ten yean. We trust the board will have authority to exceed the limit fixed in the law, ml properly equip their road work ing forces go that something may he At any rate, let the Board boy only the hart machinery, and that eaiy which wifi meet the teat.

The cake brought $57.65. The best feature of the occasion was a lecture on “Courtship" by Prof. P. C. Garris. Prof. Garris was introduced by Rev. Mr. Rushton, who stated in his introductory re marks that baseball was a game of modern invention, and men of his I age knew nothing of such games in I his boyhood days. Then came Prof. [ Garris, amid much applause, and everyone seemed to enjoy his lecture to the fullest extent. We passed Mr. Garris Friday afternoon while he was putting up some wire fencing, and told him not to begin his lecture until we got back for we wanted to hear it, and he replied that it would not be much as he had to prepare a it while while putting - up the fence. We only have to say that we would like to have some more—it was a good tonic. Among the visitors present were Misses Maude Padgett and Rena Wolf, and Mrs. Isham Padgett, R. D.
