WITEN those newly leased con. viets get well to work, there may be a pleasing change in the road prospect. So far, nothing serious has b1)een said or done in the legislature ro, garding the Tillman-Ml.iu controversy. A Summer hotel, with an all year round attachiment odt to prove a profitable inistitut imn in Pickens. Whv not ONE week c: ccntinuous rain without the proverbial "sunshime on Saturday " was last week's record-to say nothing of the roads You may travel from the court house to any point in Picken county, yet you will ne-lver los sight of that one long, continuou mudshol-2.

TijE best plan to aIdiol.t for the improvement of roads is to work them, as early as that can he done, then keep them worked. Delay in this matter is positively dangeroui and very expensive besides. * * * fTr has been said1 that debt is c stimulant that often helps to mor< etrenuous endeavor-but debt ik< other stimulants will get the drol on you if carried to excess whet "the goblins will get you if yol don'twatch out.' * ** As the merchants gradualla change to the cash system of dloin business. as they are le d to it b; conditions, their customers are rc lieved of a sore temptation an the result will prove beneficial t both. THE Southern Railway Goo Roads exhibition train took a turi at the South Carolina legislat.tui after giving the Supervisors an 0 portunity to enjoy the best foatur< of a convention. Porhapsa doze members of that body were reall interested in the demuonst rat ions. SINCE the Booker Washingt on Roosevelt dining incident, ti1 country has not had to liston to S much newspaper talk about the r< marablo virtues and philanthmroi ic wvork of Booker. Doubtless, ho sees the blunmder hi made, as well as the P'residen t, an<i feeling a just humiliation, has ti' ken a com~rmon sonse viow of th~ situation and doterined to proli by his experience. * * * THlE PrexlENs RAILtuoan is convenience with which a goo< part of the county could hard I' d (ispense, after having experienlce and learned its actual helpIfulnesl to every feature of business. Ji fact the people of the section imme. diately around Pickens towir would feel lost without the daily coming and going of that accomumo dating train by some facetiously called ''the doodle", and no pub lio spirited citizen regrets the in,. Bignificant tax he pays to meet the bonds voted in aid of the road, * * * EvzxtY dollar saved now means that much added to the profits from your labor at the winding up next fall, and every good day's work means so much towards the saving. Jf, in truth, one cannot see the immediate good resulti of Judiciouis work, that is still no reason why constant, dilligcut ef fort does not bring reaeonjable re turns.

A~s evidence of the general trust prevailing among fellow-citizens in South Carolina, aud also of thelac. cepted wisdom of the system of trial by jury, regarded as the pal ladium of liberty, one has only to note the fact that though the present jury law is conceoded to bo ulconstitutional and no inill charged with crime can be forcel to trial, yet defendats with s'0 rious charges against them are coil senting to be tried anI mioreover domatiding a hearing before juries ComposedA of their peers.

Th cons ilum uat ion Of this new en ter prise is a tuatter altogether possi leo and withal quitito probable, since the prloposition is baig fostered by thorough-going business men who ate ablo to intluence sufficient capital to assure succes to the un dertaking, and with experience to direct the enterprise along divi del paying lines.
