Tlie split log drag is a good road ?machine, and could b?? used to great i.dvantage a great deal moro than ls true at present in this county. The suggestion has been made that the county furnish tho people with these drags and the farmers would use them free. A capital suggestion, hut Are fear that lt would not bo long be fore the people would begin to ask that they ho paid for road work. Wo know of no law to prevent a roan's making u spilt log drag if ho wants to drag his road and use it. They are not at nil expensive and would cer tainly pay for thc time and material it would take to construct one. So if the people would uso them if made ?nd presented, there ls very little be tween them und the uso of the drag, except a hit of industry and determi nation.

A very thoughtful article waa writ ten for Tho News and Courier by Mr. P.. B. Heiser, of Sumter, on a very live .topic in South Carolina today. He discusses the matter of credit, and brings out some thoughts that will be worth while m this section and else where. He thinks that a mistake is being rondo by trying to place tho people of thc State on a cash basis too soon. It ls BO complete a chango from the customs of years that it can not bo brought about nt once without some loss lu an economic way. Mr. Heiser Bays: "A life-long credit Kys tom cannot bo changed Hi one year." We know that this ls true, and us Thc N'ewB nd Courier says commenting on this fact: Lands in this State will have to be planted on borrowed money or they cannot br planted at all. Suppose a big acreage Iles Idle what will be the result? Nb orystal vision ls needed to forsec what lt must be. It will bo In thc case of the State just what lt is in thc caso ot the man who. being able to do little more than make ends meet by working all of his time, suddenly inda himself with work for but half his time. What happens then? Hts clothes get ragged and threadbare and his family ceases to know what P. la io save enough to ?at. There are in South Carolina over halt a million people who work act ively at agricultural pursuits. Tao bread of probably two-thirds the total population is taken directly from the soil. It has required all the Improv ed lands we. have to provide these people with work and a living. Even eliminating such waste and extrav agance as have been practiced in the post tho withdrawal from cultivation even tor a season of any big area of land which has been in cultivation until now ls hound to upset things seriously. It would demoralise the labor. It would cut down thc- earning capacity of Ute ?tate. On the other hand,- there ls not an acre of arable land In South Carolina which cannot be planted profitably lu one thing or another-provided only the planting can be financed. It will require intelligence and diligence to handle this phase of the matter right ly, hut lt must be attended to or se rious lost? tx? . everybody will bo the consequence. If the old Hebrew plow man looked back he was likely to get badly hurt. If an agricultural State .rion lo stand ?til? lt runs tho same - --~r EASY TO FLOAT, Il is HO easy to float with the cur rent uni! du things that others do. The real lest of manhood comes when one stands alone, ur in a minority on any proposition, and hears the brunt of being different from others. Il is easy, though, to, sw vn down the stn am-to l?uat-but Hil. does not develop muscle. Too many young men are failures in the world because they are content to float with the current, and as a consequence the? aro thrown out on Ute side of the stream in some lit tle eddy or pool of still water, wolle the mau who kicks out and tries to do . mn.'thine grown strong from the ex erclse and accomplishes Anally what could not have been accomplished otherwise. One is reminded here of the story of the two frogs which the dishonest dairyman dipped up from u spring on his way to market and pourned into his milk pail. One of the frogs when he found he was in auch a predica ment Buid to lils companion: "It is no use to try to survive, and I am go .ng to Just lie still and be drowned." ils companion remarked: "You can do this If you want to, but I am going to try swimming a while." So ho be gan to kick while his companion sank listlessly to the bottom of the pail and was drowned. When the farmer reach ed market the frog which kicked was swimming round on r. pat of butter he had made by his efi'orts singing " Life on tho ocean wave." The intelligencer was reminded of the above by the advice given by a friend In conversation with the editor a few days ago, anent the road bond Issue proposition. He said: "The most of the people are opposed to the l>ond Issue, so what is the use for me to go agt'ust what the majority of them seem to want, arjd make myself unpopular. I am going to gel on thc side of the majority." Floating with the current. We shall not do this, hut we propose to stand for good roads, and for the bond isBtie, as a matter of pi,nelpie because from what wo have beru abie to learn, it is right, and the best thing for Anderson Coun ty at thlB time. It may be defeated at the election and Anderson may never have a bond issue for good roads. If ?6, wo shall submit to the verdict of tho people, but we hopR to be riding on a pat of butter the morning of March 31st singing "Good Roads for Anderson." REV. THO, V. CARMAN. The death of Rev. John C. Carman. In Spartanburg Saturday night is a distinct loss io South Carolina. He was a man who could hard'y be spared just now, and bia place will be hard to fill, (.'omina hero only a rear ago with a trained mind and a con secrated purpose, ho has already made an ImpreBs upon the morai and reti rons life of the State.- Such men as he are hard to get along without, and lils loss will b0 keenly felt by those who have known him and who love, therefore, trusted him. Tho positron of secretary of tho State Sunday School association made vacant by his untimely death is an important one, and his work will, even in this short timo, live after him. MORE ROAD ARTICLES.

ING LAST NIGHT VOID OF SPECIAL "FEATURES CITY PHYSICIAN Dr. W. F. Ashmore Reelected for Current Year-Prohibitive License on Carnival City council met last night in reg ular monthly session and transacted a considerable amount of business of a routine nature. Among the more in teresting mattera before the aldermen was a proposition looking to the bringing back to Anderson of George MyerB. who, it will be recalled, was tried here last fall on chargea of sel ling whiskey and who skipped bis L?iid before other cases pending against him were tried, it waa re ported by Myers' bondsman that he had been located, and that the bonds man wss willing to go to the expense of, bringing Myers back here provid ed council would refund, him some pf the money he had paid out as a re sult of going on the man's bond. No action was taken with regard to this matter. Another Important matter was that of placing, a prohibitive license for the appearance in the city of a carnival show that made applica tion for tho right to come here. Still another matter of Importance wai a proposition from the management of the Petroleum Oil company to bear a portion of the cost of extending the belgian block pavement from the point where lt ends on West fiarle street, down by the Blue Ridge pas senger depot, across the tracks of the Blue Ridge Railroad and down Glenn street to the cotton warehouses of the Anderson Cotton Mill. This matter waa rete.red to a special committed with Instructions to farther investi gate the matter and report back. Retails of Meeting. When council bad opened Mr. C. M. Quest, local contractor and build er, appeared and asked to know how much of the Main street ho would be allowed to use for placing material in crrryiag out the contract he holds for evoking certain improvements In Hotel Chiquola. The law on thia point was read to Mr. Guest, bm, as ne claimed the matter waa still indefinite, council gave him to naderstand that he would be allowed to. use as much of the street and sidewalk/as was reasonable. As to Myara Casa. Ernest H. Cochran, Esq.. represent ing Mr. W. 8. Wllltford. appeared be fore council and stated that Mr. Wil llford had. through the navy depart ment, succeeded in locating George Myers, who was triad here last fall for soiling liquor and who skipped out before other cases were brought against him; and that Mr. Williford, who paid into the city treasury some $600 as a result ot his having gone on Myer's bond, wished to know that if he went to the expense of bringing Myers bajk here (which would prob ably cost $350 or $400 would the city i reimburse him to the amount of thc difference in the cost of bringing tho man back here and the sum he paid the city when Myers skipped his bond. The matter waa taken up and dis cussed at some length. It was pointed out that while Mr. Willlford had paid the city some $600 on Myers' bond. ! this amount was accepted as a com promise for some $1,600 in bonds that he had gone on for Myers. It was also pointed out that the city would not try Myers, were he brought back here, without considerable additional ex pense, as the witnesses in the case had become scattered. The matter was also discussed as to whether it would not be better for the city to let matters stand as they are, that is, let Myers remain aw ?y from here rather than bring him back here and let the city face chancea of his fine being paid by some friend, and Myers again be coming a resident of the city. After discussing the matter from various other ingles, council let th? subject drop, for the present, at any rate. Carnival Llcen?e Matter. E. W. Weaver, of Atlanta, represent ing the Smith Greater Shows, appear ed before council with reference to securing a license for the appearance here of this show. He went into some explanation of the character of the entertainment, etc. In taking up the matter latter for final settlement, council, upon motion of Alderman.
