Now is the time to get exhibits ready for the County Fair next fall. We are sorry not to be able to agree to all our legislators did while in Columbia. We may be wrong and they right, but it occurs to The Hress and Standard that it was riistake to cut salaries. There seems to have been no necessity for it. If you want good service] these days you must pay for it, and with the cost of living in^Colleton now. the salary the officers were getting, was small enough. OfjM rook? Would it h«ftp the county to MvAthia route estahlisbed. and ma| sent ail oo* Jl automobile dub? : , j VOTED AGAINST PLAN. The following is a portion of an feiHtorial which appeared in The ‘State of Monday, in discussing the djefeat of the measure proposed by 'rtie State to have the legislature ap propriate $15,000 if three of the » » main railroads would do the same. The Colleton delegation in the House voted against the bill: "The delegations in the House of Colleton and Berkeley counties voted solidly against the advertising plan. No two counties in the State have more to hope for from it; no two counties are in greater need of de veloping forces from without. Col leton has recently lost two impor tant townships that have gone to Charleston. They contain .about 1 I million dollars in taxable values. By what plan do the Colleton legis lators purpose to regain the lost Revenues without increasing the bur dens of^taxation? By what process shall the value of property in the re maining territory be increased a million dollars? The inside forces are as hopeless to do it within a half Ifetime.as a "box” cooter to get put of an empty Hour barrel. The plan their delegations voted against would have cost Colleton and Berkeley between $t*0 and $75 a year each for three years, with the promise of increasing their revenues ten years hence by ten thousand a vear. They repudiate a plan with hope, they refuse to oiH*n the doors to development. The I^trd only knows what they see in the future.” Decidedly, yes. Hundreds < wealthy autoiais would trtvene the route every year either for pleasure or on busrnew. >Our resources would thus be inspected^ and. si s result thousands of dollar* would be invest ed in different enterprises all over the county .Conversely it would open tip the county to her own citizens. It would be very paying proposition, and we hope to see this route estab lished in the near future. This is a work for the new road commission for Colleton to take hold cf and push to a- successful termination at once. Let us see to it that our roads are in such condi tion as to warrant this run next fall. % j- : -*.

It maks us sadder if it is an opportunity he might have been prepared for but would not. Colle ton county during the past week, like the unprepared young man, has lost a fine opportunity, but with this loss is a lesson w f e may learn, which may be turned to good advantage in the future.

It is a radical departure from previous road laws, and we hope it means better roads. The intention of this law, as we under stand it. is to remove the matter of road building from politics, and al low it to be done by busi a business-like way. be seen how the delegation its appointive power, beforl it can be said that such has been done. The success of this law depends upon the personel of the commission, bar ring one.one or two defects in the law, as we see it* If good business men. who are really in earnest in their desire to have better roads, are appointed, the law* will work well. On the other hand if the dele- • 4’ ... /' c s> gatipn selects men in whom the peo- dle have no confidence, and to pay back political support, the law will be% failure. If ever a set of men should deliberate well over recom mendations these should. The dele gation should remember that its new law will have much opposition, and'that it will be held responsible for its success, The road co imis- sion will be Tits creation, and the favor the law receives will depend upon who receives these appoint ments. We believe these gentlemen realize this, and that they will en deavor to make wise selections as road commissioners. The part of this law that we be lieve is a weakness, is that no pro vision is made for the employment of a road engineer. It will be seen that the chaifman of the Hoad Com- misson will be on duty only 75 days, | the clerk the same length of time, and the other*member50days. This will mean that for two-thirds of the time, no one will be on duty to see that the work is going on properly. With an engineer this would be different, and besides his services would be invaluable in making specifications for road work, and in inspecting and receiving same. It is barely possible that the Com mission will have authority to employ such engineerany- way. under the^ present law. We trust so. It is understood that the delega tion has under consideration the names of several wel'-known busi ness men for appointment on this commission. The names of Messrs C. W. Butler of Jarksonboro; Paul Sanders of Ritter; F. J. Berrv of aOVAL BAK*M FOWOCR OOw, NEW YORK. SAURIES REDUCED Considerable interest has been shown in the reduction of salaries as provided by a bill passed by the Colleton delegation. The bill pro vides for a reduction of $200 from t|ie sheriff’s salarv; $300 ’from the supervisor’s; ali the salary from the master and probate judge, which is $200 in each case. The total re duction amounts to $900. Probate Judge Griffin went to Columbia the latter part of the week to remonstrate with the dele gation, but found the matter had gone too far for anything to be done at this time.
