WOODWARD, Editor THURSDAY. MAR. 25, 1901). Gooi) roads increases the value of property at least a hundred uercent. It seems that the broa;l tire law Tor vehicles is ignored in liorry. IN arrow ties are a fruitful cause for bad roads. Bad roads are a reflection upon the citizenship of any community is a saying pretty generally used. It may not be so in every case, but it is so regarded in a majority of cases. The national government appropriates a largo sum of money for the improvement of inland waterways. Why should it not appropriate a like sum, or even a larger one, for the improvement of post roads? It will be a year and half i>t least, before Senator Spivey's good roads bill can possibly become efToctive, if it ever does. In the meantime the people should do what they can toward assisting the Supervisor in putting and keeping the roads in bettor condition. The national government improves our inland waterways, which it rarely uses, aud which is of benefit to nwnc?i*o /-.f ^U! ? snipping only. Js it any more than fair that it should also improve the post roads of the county, which it daily uses and which benelits the, whole people of a county? Road improvement is a subject that should engage the attention of the people of the city and couutry. If there is one thing needed mere than another in Ilorry it is good roads leading out from Conway. The want of them is felt more or less by every man, woman and child iu Horry, and it is to the interest of property holders and non prop eny noltlers to have them, SHOW \OUR FAITH BY YOUR WORKS. If the people of the town woulc show their confidence in the future of Conway in proportion to what the ptople of the country have in that o Horry, it would not be long before there would be a cotton factory ane cotton seed oil mill here, a trolb line from the beach and on toMarioi a bent wood, and sash, door ant blind factory and other indust.rio of greater or less importance Horry is rich in naiural resource and it only remains for the pec pie ?of Conway to show thei faith by their works to manufactur these resources into commercis commodities. How long will we re main blinded or careless or inditTei ent to our interest and allow some one else to seize the golden oppor tunity which leads on to fortune an fame? How long shall we si supinely down and for the lack ( energy and enterprise see thes gifts which a liberal nature has s extravaganly bestowed upon us pei ish for the want of development? RETURN PHOPERTY AT ITS TRU VALUE. The proposition to return prope ty for taxation at is true value is a tacting no little attontion over tfc State. This is a move in the rigl direction and the sooner it is doc the better will it bo for the finance of the State and place the burde of taxation where it rightly bi longs?upon those who have and n< upon thoso who have not. There ai foreign and domestic corporatior whose stock and bonds are quote on the open market considerabl above par, and they would bring i yet they are returned for taxatin at but a small fraction of the true value. It is tho same way Ant re&Ily. rruc?t>-wre lands which ai - ~ returned for taxation any whei from 26 cents to $1 00 per acre the would be considered a bargaiu i from $25 00 to $50 00 per acre, even i a forced sale, Where is the justice i |his? It not only makee the tax lev higher, but It oppresses the poor b forcing his: to pay more taxes tha justice demands by reason of the ii crease lory. If every taxpayer in th ' ' 'iPi ' ? ?iwEbu ? State would return their holdings at their actual valuo, millions of dollars would be added to tho revenues of the State and this increase would come from those who could very well alTord to pay it, and who by rights should be made to do so. Then tho S ate would bo in a position to assist in the work of internal improvements thus putting the money baek in the hands of the people and not having it locked in the eofTirs of the few to be loaned to tho many at a rate of interest that amounts to confiscation. SOMETHING OUT OP GEAR. It is becoming more arid more apparent each day that there is something radically wrong with our judical system. Thore seems to be a cog out of place somewhere in its machinery and its iueflicioncy to perform its functions any thing like what is expected of it is recognized and adversely commented upon by all, and this inclliciency grows more acute as the days go by. That the administration of the judicial department of our government is more expensive and loss satisfactory than eithor the executive or legislative departments is a saying that is passing into a proverb, and why this is the case we are at a loss to understand, but we aro of the opinion that it is so and certain that it should not be so if it is true. It is a known fact that in the recent past seven judges and seven solicitors performed the duties that it now takos twelve judges, twelve solicitors and twelve stenographers to do and the results were as sat isfactory to bench and bar and litigants aliko, as they now arc. In saving this we do not wish to be under stood as reflecting in any way upon the faithfulness and competency of those who now occupy those positions for we take it that thev are just as anxious, and just as honest to have the machinery of the court to work smocthly without jar or friction or unnecessary delay as any one. We are discussing condi ditions as they exist and it is not for us to say who is responsible for those conditions. Tf there is a reason for the law s delay it should be discovered end the , remedy applied in order that the I evil might be abated and relief obtained. We at one time thought that to abolish the office of magistrate at the county seats and establish county courts with powers and jurisdiction in all cases, both criminal and civil, now given the circuit I court, except in cases in which cap4 ital punishment is the penalty, but s the wisdom of this change is ques. / tionable and it is doubtful if this re? form would in the end prove an ecoi nomical reform or even give the relief sought. The solution of this 1 problem is perplexing because it is j difficult and we are of the opinion that the statesman is yet to bo born who will be able to solve it, o ? ???????? ?

In some cases remarkable results nave been obtained. Mr. C. W. Caruthcrs of Sumpter County, Fla., writes: "Words cannot express the value of your fertilizer. It is really so far ahead of other companies' goods, that it would not pay anyone to use other brands, were they given free and put in the field. 1 can prove what 1 say to be a fact. 1 made a test on five acres.
