It is with pleasure that The Intelligencer wel comes hack into the newspaper fraternity the able and fluent newspaper editor and writer. Klhert H. Aull, who hus "come huck" lulu South Carolina journulism. A few weeks ago his newspaper, The Hcruld and News, of New"?/rr:\ suspended publica tion, owing to financial difficulties. These huve boon arranged satisfactorily, und this week The Herald and Ni ws appear? as usual with Mr. Aull'? name ot the mast head us editor and nuinuger. Here's hoping that there shall he no more rocks In hin pathway, hut that the road ahull he smooth and Well graded. We wish it could he a well built macadam, or tarvla road, and that >' will bc so con struct! that there shall he few tire troubles. (We are in favor of good roads).

Gc od luck to them. A SOLUTION OP CHARLESTON'S TROCOLES. The Intelligencer Hhs we believe, somewhat cor rectly arrived at the trouble in Charleston, and the reason that this metropolis of South Carolina, is out of joint with tho rest of the State. The people of that city never f.nd out what the rest of the State think of them. They are secure in the belief that they are worshipped as they were "befo de wah" anil that they are "way yander" better than thc average citizen of the interior and the up country. They, therefore, conclude that they are perfectly within their nrh?". as the Columbia State says, to nullify any law which applies to the rest of the Si .te and which they feel should not apply to Char lton. Hemmed in by the Ashley and Cooper rivers, and reading only the newspapers published in Charleston, and they never reproduce what any other newspapers ssy about conditions down there, they still think that Charleston 1B the most pro gressive and desirable place In the State Truly, "Ephraim "ls joined to his Idol." Dut the mayor of Charleston will possibly learn a thing -or two from the governor about law enforcement At least he will ascertmn that Charleston County ls a part of the state. HOW YOU CAN PAT TOUR ROAD TAX. *.t will mean much to Anderson County, .to turn foote into circulation at this time $760,000. When we say place In circulation In Anderson County thli amount of mouey, we mean Just that for the .C??OM that il the hoad issue carries, ami we do some permanent road work, the entire amount ot the nrouey will be apent right In the county and in the^ectlons where the work is being done. There will he little or nothlr.? to import Into Anderson County to be used In bu???i.? thc rona*. Tho mater ial will be found right on the spot for the wora or building the roadB. The stone will be Anderson County stone, and will be quarried and crushed by Anderson County labor. It will bo hauled by An derson County teams, and will be placed by Ander son County labor, supervised most il'/ely by An derson County engineers. So the presen.' effect of votlos tor the hind Issue will be to bring into the count;- $750,000 of outside money to be paid out for labor and material right here at home, helping, out the short otton crop, and giving employment to those who will possibly bo in need ot lt. In other words, the man who votes for the bond issue may make enough money out of lt. if he is Industrious and energetic to pay the entire amount ot his tax. Por instance lt' was seen by the figures quoted yes terday that the average taxpayer In Three and Twenty school district would be taxed $1.52 each year, and nearly all of them would have to pay only 65 cents a year. If there should be a good road built through this achool district any fanner could get work for himself or team or both, and pay thia tax In one day. and perhaps have some thing left" over.~ 8o it will tv? no hardship on any one. Homer D. Wade, a big Texas Farmers' Union man, says: No other citizen realises the value of good roads as does the farmer. A community can safely he judged by the kind of highways it maintains. The greatest chasm between the producer and the consumer la the mud hole. Production must cease when the transpor tation costs eat up the profita. Without good roads, there can be no devel opment that will be permanent and enduring. Bad roads heep-children away from school and tm pair the. efficiency of church work tn S community.

The Intelligencer thinks that Governor Manning hau made no mistake in the ??lection of men to Ail the punitions on the tax communion, and to till the office of comptroller general. A. W. Jone? lu the heat posted man in the SUte on the tux question, and he is titted by year? and years of study and ex perience'in bundling these matters, to be trusted to work out a correct solution to the tax problem, ile will make good, and will give the Stale an up-to date tax system, which will equalize the burdens of taxation. The appointment of his successor. Carlson W. Sawyer, who has been in the office of ti T'iptroller general for many years--, was a flt c. fa worthy successor to Mr. Jones. The edu.. this newspaper knew Sawyer ut the Cit adel and a more high toned, conscientious man never "wore the grey," and we are delighted at Iiis promotion. He will make good, and South Carolina will be proud of her young and able comptroller general. Another appointment which will give general satisfaction, and which will meet with popular ap provul, because he in U mun to be trusted to do bis full dirty, is the appointment of W'yutf Bradley lo ho ?issistunt to the SUte bunk examiner. Well versed in the bookkeeping methods of Hie county officials he will be at home In his work from the start. We commend (bene three appointments us being us good as eon ld have been made for the posi tions to be tilled. EVERYONE VITALLY INTERESTED. If lhere is any one thing which will directly af fect tili? welfare of the people of the entire county, lt is the matter of road?. Th(> better the roads, the better ibo county, is a rule universnl in its ap plication. Those historic characters who will live the longest are the ones who conir-ucted the most laffing monuments. Perhaps the best example of thia is the Roman emperor, Applua Claudius who built the Appian Way, n road leading from Rome to Capua, three centuries before the Christian era. This road waa constructed of large square stones, and ls still In perfect state of preservation. The great Napoleon is perhaps better known for the splendid system of highways he caused to be con structed than for almost anything1 else. These are yet thc admiration of touristy, and have contribut ed more than almost any other single thing to the growth and prosperity of France. Talce those aectiona of the United States, m<. progressive and wealthy, and they have good ro. New York State ia noted for its good roads, and millions of dollars are annually expended id .ex tending them. Other States ara building up sys tems of good roads, and they are paying handsome dividends. No county or State which has once con structed good roads would eyer think of going back to the poor roads existing prior io' the building of better roads. This ls universally realised, and every year cities, counties and States are getting away from the old system and are building per manent roads. In nearly every ease these are be ing built by issuing bonds. So Anderson County in her bond Issue will have plently of precedent. THE UNION FOREVER! . ' tjv. Among the rules lately promulgated by the' mayor of Charleston was: "The closing of blind tigers nt ?2 o'clock and ort _ , " ?Tl i ie** Sundays." The governor has held that the "rule" Implied a condoning of violation of the law. So the mayor, Mr. Grace, has revoked his "rule." Incidentally it may be observed that the issuance of such a "rule" 1B not, a policy peculiar. to Mr. Grace. It is exactly in harmony with tho policy of hla predecessor In office. Mr. Rhett. We are having a repetition, on diminutive scale, ? In South Carolina of. the episode of 1830-32, known Jn the histories as ''Nullification.'! . In that day. it was the State that proposed to nullify a federal law-and the majority of South Carolinians heart ily approved it. The city of Charleston, speaking through first one mayor and theft another, has proposed the nul ' ltflcatlon of a State law. The majority of the Charle3tonlans appear to approve IL The important difference ls that'by thc revoca tion of his rules Mayor Grace is no longer a for mal nullifier. Whether or not wo shall have actual nullification, which is to say a continuance of liquor selling by blind tigers, -or saloon keepers, in Charlenton, re mains to he seen. When "Old Hickory" was president..no made it pretty plain that he would coerce the Nullifiers. The issue was disposed or hy congressional action t and that atep waa not necessary. There ls no sign that,a compromise,wi!I be af fected between South Carolina and Charleston. To he sure, the prohibitionists arc unwilling that dis pensaries he forced upon towna,. in dispensary counties, that object to them. What la sauce for the goose, though, ls not sauce tor the gander. A town In a ' dry" State that demands saloon really has no rights. We stand by and wait, with an interest keen hut wholly detached, the event of the issue between the governor and Charleston. The governor stands firmly on the statutes cad. that ia an impregnable position. Tho mayor absents to the correctness o? ihe gov ernor's position hy revoking htb rule, whereby law breaking waa, seemingly, condoned bat, doubtless, tn his opinion, whereby it would, bare been dlmin-j tabed and good! order would h a vo been promoted. I Conflict between the governor and tim mayor aa to the law' seems to have been eliminated. They are now unanimous for the law. If the hllnd tigers will close their shops every body will he unanimous. It tile, blind tigers attempt tn keep their saloons Open, a direct Issue will be raised between them s and the governor and that ts equivalent to an is t sue between the apparent majority of tho people - in Charleston and of a majority of the people of South Carolina. If the lame ia ever to be determined, it wore I well that lt he done quickly, In the months to naas i before the referendum on prohibition. 1 In case nullification in Charleston. ripens into - & movement for secession The State will stand by tee unlro.-The State.
