WEDNESDAY. FEB. 15.1911
The Pith Finders really and truly
found a path.
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.

, 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.

We are always sorry to see a young
man with an opportunity who can
not grasp it because he is not prepar
ed foV it. 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.

THE NEW ROAD LAW.
Elsewhere in thi$ issue will be
found the new road law for Colleton
county. 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.
