In progressive agriculture we believe she is, (Jan she hold her place ? Not with thc roads she is willing to put up with . Unless public attention is direct ed,lo the necessity ol road buildingr-not r?ad-working, we have done that all our lives and still have no roads worth the name-we will surely lose our place. Richland county, whose natural pro dnetivencss.falls below ours, is leading tight away (rum us in road building. .Two years ago her chain gang under a wise superintendent began road building from Columbia out on the roads lead ing into the city. Years ago the writer lived in Richland county and used the Garner's Ferry road In going to and trom Columbia. Some of Marlboro's older men have traveled the said road Irom Columbia to Camden'.and know what it means to go over a road whose depth of sand is unknown. The Garner's Fern ry road was like the.old Camde 1 road, and now c.ich have been transformed into roads equal to the best streets in the city of Columbia. . I verily believe our Commissioners should go over to Richland county and inspect and make a study ot their sys tem, Clay upon sand and sand upon -clay. During thc Reunion in Columbia Jrst week I rode out on Garner's Ferry road's miles through a sand section that was built two years ago. and has never had anything done to it since. That road is made over 13 miles. My friend's horse never broke his trot alter leaving Columbia till we reached his home-8 miles distant in''45 minutes, and he was not heated in thc least. He told 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 thc need of a stock law. We got it after -uvhile. The rest is history. Would we (i hack to loriciug now11 I wish I could lind persuadive lan. .-tinge thal would induce our Commis loner:; to CNliend $10 ?, ii no ?nore, bli a 'ral sci.'-, r ?

Tali, with any citizen living on thc road 1 traveled recently and he'll convince yon that road building is thc next big move'forward 'that South Carolina should make. The building ol a white Republican party in South Carolina so eagerly look ed lor. by those wanting positions in it, and some others, dwindles into a shadow ni compared to our need ol good roads. I'm done this time, hut I'm coming again. J. F. BOLTON, May li, igol,. Tatum, S. C. A Hog Ueai'Mn Sundi ville Mr. Editor-On thc night ot the 7th Mr. J. I). Stanton, Supt. on Mr. C. S McCall's Pipkin place, was aroused by squalls of a dog as il engaged in a fight, fie immediately went out on his back porch and lound a strange looking var ment, He emptied his pistol at it and it went out of the yard very reluctantly. Mr. Stanton went into thc house, got his gun but before he got out it had return isa and seized his pup thc second time, As he approached thc animal ran out ot thc yard and he shot at it willi his gun, but could not tell with what effect. He began to feel a little nervous, went into r he 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 K> Mrs Mary rjhavis' and fought her dog, a very large cur.. From the tracks made and other signs on the ground it is conceded by all to bc a bear. On Friday the loth one ol Mr. Henry Cottingham's hands saw something walk ing a pasture lenee near a bay. He re ported the lact, a large crowd gathered with guns and went in search, and soon jumped two large loxes--or supposed to be. Wliile in pursuit they found a nest ol' seven young ones, but it is very doubt lui whether they bc foxes or not. Mr, James F. David happened to be near alter the capture and got a pair ol young ones Irom Mr. Stanton, and has them on exhibition at his home. Those who have seen them say they never saw anything like them before. May u, 1901. D*KX* Will Work The Road.
