In progressive agriculture we believe she is. Can she hold her place ? Not with thc roads she is willing to put up with Unless public attention is direct cd,to thc necessity ol road building.-not r?ad'working, we have done that all our lives and still have no roads worth the name-wc will surely lose our place. Richland county, whose natural pro ductiveness, tails below ours, is leading i i j, ; i 11 away bum us in road building. .Two years ago her chain gang under a wise superintendent began road building I rom Columbia out on the roads lead ing into thc city, Years ago thc writer lived in Richland county and used the Garner's Ferry road In going to and Irom Columbia. Some of Marlboro's older men have traveled the said road Irom Columbia to Camdon-.and know what it means to go over a road whose depth of sand is unknown. The Garner's Fer? ry road was like the.old Camder road, and now each have been transformed into roads equal to the best streets in the city ol Columbia. I verily believe our "Commissioners should go over to Richland county and inspect and make a study ol their sys tem, Clay upon sand and sand upon clay. During thc Reunion in Columbia Irst week I rode out on Garner's Ferry road 8 miles through a sand section that was built two years ago. and has never bad anything done to it since. That road is made over 13 miles. My friend's horse never broke his trot alter leaving Columbia till wc reached his bome-8 miles distant in('4s minutes, and he was not heated in the least. He told r me that with two mules he hauled to town the same loads that two years ago required 4 mules Years ago some of us began to agitate the need ol a stock law. We got it after .uvhilc. The rest is history.

Tails willi any citizen living on thc road 1 traveled recently ii nu he'll convince you that road building is thc next big move "lorward "that South Carolina should make. Thc building ol a white Republican pariy in South Carolina so eagerly look ed lor. by those wanting positions in it, and some others, dwindles into a shadow aj compared to our need ol good roads. I'm done this time, but I'm coming .'gain. J. F. BOLTON, May ii, 1901,. Tatum, S. C. A Hog Heap lu Smithville Mr. ICditor-On the night ol the 7th Mr. J. 1). Stanton, Supt. on Mr. C. S McCall's Pipkin place, was aroused by ?.quails of a dog as it engaged in a light, Ile immediately went out on bis back perch and .lound a strange looking var ment, Ile emptied his pistol at it and it went out ol the yard very reluctantly. Mr. Stanton went into thc house, got his ??un but belorc bc got out it had return 1 cd and seized his pup thc second time, As bc approached thc animal ran out ot thc yard and he shot at it with his gun, but could not tell with what effect. He began lo feel a Utile nervous, went into the house and shut thc door, The bear or whatever it was then went over to Mr. Alex Chavis' and ran his dog off. From there it went lo Mrs Mary fjhavis' and lought her dog, a very large cur.. From thc tracks made and other signs on thc ground it is conceded by all to bc a bear. On Friday thc 10th one ol Mr. Henry Cottingham's hands saw something walk ing a pasture lenee near a bay. ile re ported the lact, a large crowd gathered with guns and went in search, and soon jumped two large loxes-or supposed to be. While in pursuit they found a nest oj' seven young ones, but it is very doubt lui whether they be loxes or not. Mr. James F. David happened to be1 near alter the capture and got a pair ol young ones irom Mr. Stanton, and has them on exhibition at bis home, Those who have seen them say they never saw anything like them bclore.

In writing about lt, it la not my pur? peso to glvo an account of tho procoodtnga that will ho dono by othore.

Tho bualno&j ot tho Oonteroaoo and tho name of tho placo whore it was assembled a woko Iq my mimi recollection*! of tho long agO. Sixty soveu years ago I with others walked throe miles to old Beauty Spot to attend Sunday Behool, and I omi no t recoil oct any who wore sobolars exoopt my kinsman Robort II. Humor who is a littlo older than mysolf, and Mrs. Julia Watson aud Mrs. Druoilla Stubbs, Ido not tunion uko to say that thoy aro all who aro now living who bolonged to that Sun* dav Behool, thoy aro howovor all I nan recollect. Nono of theso named wore proa out on Friday, bad they boen I could have unjoyed a Rounion with thom, Eli Thomas was uuporintindonb. The malo toaohors woro John MoOollum, Wil liam Dudley, Jninoa U. Bolton and Ool William J, Gook. Wo did no? have any International Lon- . eons thoa. Our lessons woro in a littlo book with tho title ?'Sorlpturo Questions," lt had nothing in lt exoopt tho quo*ttous, thoro was no oommor.t, no explanatory notos, all tho help ono could got was from tho Tos* tnraont, and this wo wore under tho no? ooasity of having In studying tho loison. I committed to memory versos of Sorlpturo wbioh I have never forgotten. In thoao days it was common to touch spoiling and reading in tho Sunday Soho-)l. Tho primer Websters blue baok spelling book and tho oatcohisra woro ?ll contained lu th) Sunday School Library. Singing was not a specialty, there was no other besides tho Methodist Hymn book Ool Gook and Jamen Hi Bolton raised the tunes, an oxoellout ordor for that day, buk tho child i on did not Bing, not beoauao they oould not sing, but thoy soomod to think the Binging hod to be dono by . tho grown people. The children oould slug for when ot homo choy might bo of ton hoard sloging tho Gamp Mooting songs, whloh they had learned at chose annual gatherings. But ala?! however largo the oohool how? ever IntoroBtlng, as tho fall of tho year oame on and tho mornings beoamo oold It hed to bo uaspondod for tho winter, Thoro woro no stoves used in oburohos in tho io days tho ohurohos lu the country gonor olly wore not coiled and it was beat for all concerned to SUBpond. It had been said hy some that ..St?voa aro a means of graoo," I don't know no well about that but I do kno.v from exp ar io nco tbat thoy aro a means of comfort. Tboy coutributo to the welfare of tho Sunday Behool*, and of tho congregations, and largely to tho welfare of tho preaoh. ors. I now havo vivid reooleotlons of how I used to suffer In tho early part of my min istry, whou the Sunday mornings wero odd and it was neoeasary for me to travel' eight or ton milon to ray appotntmont, when 1 reaohed tho plaoo I was suffering, flngore aohiog, foot cold, ray body chilled, and no placo to watm, oxoept tho Sunny side of tbs church, und that would only warm mo enough to holp rao shake like a man with ague, and if I started with any qualifications for ray duty, it was mostly ^hulton out. tint bow djiforonj now.

Wbon I reaoh ed tho church nome four or flvo poreons woro around a lightwood knot Aro. After warming a littlo I enid to thom: Ureth ren this is a very oold day and if wo go into tho church aud attempt to hold a regular service we ahull suffer, and 1 thiuk it would bo prudent for UR to havo a short Rorvico and then repair to our bomen Ono brother who waa moved by a zeal not ac cording to knowlodge snid: ''No wo oamo boro t) hear preaching and I want you to preach." I replied if that was tho senti ment I was ready. Wo went iu had tho preliminary oervieo. I annouaoud a text and preached just fifteen minutes during that time I noticed my zealous brother was shaking Uko an aBpon loaf. When wo oamo outl remarked to him that ho soomod to gob very cold during tho Borvloo. Yes said bo you preached eo long.
