Yorhville Knquircr. ?Tho Enquirer la usually alert on matters ulTeotliig tho public good. The Improvement of our roads, tho develop ment of tho agricultural, mining and commercial Interests of the county, tho abatement of the liquor evil, anil tbo Integrity of our courts of justice receive deserved attention. ErThere is, however, a subject of g''eat public importance which seems to have ercaped your notico?tho preservation of tbo birds. Tbo need of the educa tion of public opinion on this subject ^constrains mo to speak through ^our columns, hoping to attract some atten tion to it. Ignorance and thoughtless . nets aro tho roots of tho great evil of bird destruction. Tho feathorod tribes aro an essential .element in the economy of nature. Tho creation of them was ono of the first stops in preparing tho earth for tbo habitation of man. They uro a hem llcont provision of God for tho pro tection and pleasure of a man. Die numerous forms of insects and worms aro among OUT great enemies. If there was no provision of nature to check their depredations, all crops would be destroyed by them, no trees could long exist, "and wo would be subjected to other sources of intolerable injury aud annoyance from them. Tho birds uro Nature's provision. Insects and worms aro their natural food, and while feeding themselves thoy protect us. Tuo quantity of in sects and woruiB required to support a littlo bird (as given by naturalists) is almost Incredible. It is interesting to watch tho littlo things as they hop from branch to branch of tho trees, searching limbs and leaves for /rorms. Tho woodpecker is the special provis ion aguinst tho worms which lie con cealed in the bark of trees. 1 have noticed oven tho pestiferous little English sparrow going to and fro between Its nest and the cabbage bed. carrying worms to feeel its young. Tho usofulness of birds as man's pro tector Is recognized by all enlightened governments. Tho laws of our State forbid tho killingof all huta few kinds. I understand tbut the state of Virginia does not permit any bird to bo killed at anytime. Somo years ago, owluj; to tho extermination of birds in France, injury from iusccts became so great that most stringent laws for tho pro tection of surviving birds wore made, and large quantities wore imported. Birds aro essential not only foi* our protection, but also for tho beauty ami attractiveuoss of tho world. Tho groat variety in thoir sizes, plumage and song, is our nation's most charming features. No prima donna can equal tho notes of tho mocking bird, the " Nightingale of tho South." No musie ho sweet as tho joyful song of the bird* In the early summer morning. If then wore no birds to lly joyfully about une pour out thoir glad, bright songs, the worlel would bo lacking in an essential element of beauty and attractiveness So much for tho usefulness aLd at tractivonoss of tho birds. How aro they treated by man? these pretty, happy, useful littlo crea tureB i Ina word, thoy aro reeklessh and mercilessly destroyed. Tho sport of tho country consist! largely in butchering them. Strong men, furnished with rapidly liriuj. guns, scour tho country with dog trained for tho purpose, and hnd theii pleasure in shooting them down ai thoy try to escape. Many wounded cscupo instant death, to dio slowl; from pain and starvation. This is tin sport of strong men. Tho prinoipa sport of our civilized, christianize* country. But bills high (?) order of sport is no coulined to tho more advanced sports men, and to certain kinds of lltth birds. But guns aro so eheap tha ? very littlo boy, white and colored, eai ihm ono. Tho small boy goes out to so< w at he can do in tho way of bin kl ilog, and woo to any little bi.d tha he can lind?be it mocking bird, thrusl or sparrow?its happy, useful life i: sacrificed to tho momentary gratifies tlon of killing a bird. Ho feels as prom of being able to bring down tho sitting singing thrush as his big brother doei in bringing down the frightened, lly ing partridge Tho destruction of birds' nests h another shameful form of bird ex tor mination. Tho propensity of boys t( destroy bird's nests is one of the stronj ovidonccs of tho naturally savage na tuio of man. They take a savagi delight in tearing down tho nC6ts breaking tho eggs and killing tin young birds. To furnish sport for mon and boys tho birds of all kinds are being de stroyed. At tho present rate of do struction, in a fow years a bird will hi u rarity. Nothing to stand between us and the insect pests which are con tinually becoming moro serious. Nc sweet warblers pouring out their glad songs. This, 1 repeat, is a seriom matter. Far more serious than ques tions of county division, ote. The country noeds "reform'' along this line. Our laws forbid tho killing ol birds (except a few kinds). livery good citizen should see that tho law is enforced. Tho enforcement of tin penalty a fow times, would have a salutary effect on a community. Landowners ought to "post" their lands?not permitting a bird-killer to put foot on them. Sbut them out aa enemies to tho public good. Parents, teachers and others having lr lluence over children, should impress them with propor sentiments towards the birds. All having public good at heart , should contribute their ioilueneo to wards a bettor public sentiment. The prevailing\rcatment of tho birds is a criino against God, nature and man, and a disgrace to our civilization. PKOTE8TANT. bryan DAY IN ATLANTA. The People Aro Anxious to Hoar (be Famous Orator. Frank Weiden in Augusta Chronicle. _ Wednesday. Decomhor 2,'J, will be "Bryan Hay" in Atlanta. All the railroads will sell cheap excursion tickets and great crowds aro looked for. Hon. William Jennings Bryan will Srrlve In Atlanta on Tuesday night, lecember 22, and on tbo following night, Wednesday, will speak at tl Grand Opera Houso on " Tho Anci> Landmarks." Hon. Hal T. Lewis, ?f Greene County, will introduce him to the audience. This will be strongly suggestive of tho Chicago convention, whero Mr. Bryans namo was placed in nomination by Mr. I/iwis. Gover nor Atkinson and tho Stato house officers and a numbor of prominent G<-orglins will occupy seats on the siago. Mr. Bryan will stay at the Kimball. At noon on Wednesday ho will bo given a dinnor by tho Young Mon's I) -mooratlo league and other frionds. His speech on Wednesday night is ex pected to bo a momorable event, not only because it will no doubt bo a gem of eloquence and full of vigorous thought but because in addition it may bo suggostive of the futuro, and this, too, without being political in charac ter., It is expected, however, that ho wilt discuss great problems of govern i rent. Mr. Bryan ranks among tho world's croatcst orators. It was his wctnjiler* j fill eloquence and mag ? - th him the distinguished honor of the I nomination for tho prcbidency. Such i ii.iiic, hh l>.

Opponents, who declared him to bo wrong in doctriuo, conceded to him matchless eloquence and tho power to hold audiences spoil-bound. One of Mr. Bryan's strong points is tho btrikitig munuer in which ho ex presses nis thought*, and he is ad hap py lu thin respect speaking ex tempore .in moot men aru prcpuriug their ad ur<.b?es with olaborate care. Tho per son who is not familiar with booh.-. gels as clear an Idea and as btrung an , impression from bearing him as the ripest scholar receives. i'liia is largely due to tho dimple language in whiou he clothes his idea . It has boon charged thut Mr. Hryan was engaged by a syndicate to make a ljur of tho country in ordor to keep the liiiancial question agitated.

MILITARY CAREER OF ANTONIO MACEO. " INTERESTING STOKY OF THE L CUBAN LEADER. His Entire History Until (he Hour ol ; His Death?How He Came to Loud* l ei-ship?Father and Brothers Fell in Battle. From the New York Sun. ; The military career of Antonio Macco has been very remarkable. Any sol* ! dier of his courage and genius would make a distinguished namo in any great war. liui in Cuba, at the bead of a handful of patriots, unskilled they are in military service, generally , without resources and receiving only the aid offered by the few expeditions sent from tho United States, ho had . faced and outwitted Martinez Campos and Weyler in command of 20.000 men [ uod possessed of ail the resources of modern warfare. To have accom plished this Maeeo must appear lo I every impartial person as an astonish ing example of heroism and military ability. He was the same hero in tho ten years' war of 1808 78. He bore on bis t body the marks of twenty-four wounds, twenty made by bullets and four by the sword or mtlChetO. In 11.ore than 1,000 encounters against the Spanish troops he never failed to take the front of his forces, encouraging his men by his bold assaults upon the most danger ous positions held by the enemy, and ligtiling hand to baud with the Span ish soldiers. At the Eame time be was able in a remarkable manner to foresee tho intentions of the Spaniards, ami his plans of battle were soiontilie and oareful. Antonio Macco was born in Santiago de Cuba OD July 14, 1SIS. His parents, Marcos Macco and Mariana Grajales, were both mulattos, living In that city. By her first marriage with N. Rogue!* feros, Mariana Crajalns had four- BOne. named Felipe, Munuel, Fermin and ?lubto. Hy her RCOOUd man Inge, with Marcos Macco she had, besides Anto nio, bix other sons, named Jose, l{ ifaol, Miguel, Jiflio.Ivoinos and Marco j, They are all worth mentioning for in a few COUntrlos fighting for their liberty can furnllh 8 bo found who had given so many heroes and martyrs to so great a cause. Tho father of Antonio Macco was killed in battle during tho ten years' war, lighting under tno orders of bis son. This was an attack made by tho insurgents on the sugar estate San An KUStln. Pierced by a bullet near the heart, Marcos Maoeo's last words to his son made him continue the struggle for freedom of Cuba. Of the other broth ers Felipo received so many wounds that he was permanently disabled, Jus te was killed in battle, Manuel and Permin fought through ihn war of 1S(>S, Ltafaol, wounded several tlmos, died lo exile; Miguel was killed in tho battle of San Miguel do Nuovitas surrounded by Spaniards and crying "Vivo Cuba libro"; Julio died in tho fight of Nuovo Mun.lo, Fomas la still suffering from his many wounds, and Marcos has al ways been a forvld Cuban patriot. American readers aro familiar with tho name of Jose Maceo, tho Cuban general who was killed a few months ago at tho battlo of Loma dol indio. Ho was tho last brother of Antonio able to follow him In tho present war against Spain. His courago was unsur passed evon by Antonio, and when bo foil, struck by a bullet in tho head, ho lived KM' some hours and cursed with his lost breath tho Spanish domi nation. Antonio Macco first took the field in I808, a few days after tho uprising of T..ra. Ho was a poor carman, without any education, unable to read or to wnte his own name. Ho joined the forces of the insurgent, Gen. Donato Marmot, but soon after employing him eovered the up Spaniards, Maceo distinguished blm reif by hin ? xtraordinary courage und after a cavalry attack that mado hiin fatuous among the Cubuur* he wad up pointcd chief of a bmall band of pa- 1 trlotf. Uo was scon advanced to the I rank of brigadier general, aud &oon alter to major general, th? Li?t.ett rauk in the Oubm army. Prom that day ho was thu terror of tho bpauish troops. Iu ifolguin, in Fiorida, 10 pro vince of Santiago do Cuba, and in maey other places he routed tho ablest Span ish commanders. After ten years of war tho Cubans agreed to tho treaty of Sanjon. Martinez Campos, after many inter viewe with tho Cuban leaders and the provisional government of tho republic won Uomi z'd consont to the treaty of peace. The only man who refused to bign was Antonio Maceo. On Febru ary 18, 1878, Gome/, had an interview with him at the Asleuto de Pilots, in which ho explained the necessity of a peaceful arrangement with the govern ment of Spain. The revolution was feeble and without lesuurce?. The Spanish force?, under command of Campos, outnumbered too Cubans eighty to one. Help from abroad was a delusion. Tho revolutionary Junta of Now York had disappeared and tho last important expedition received was one brought by tho Vlrglnlus before hor capture by tho Spaniards, and that | was years before. Intervention by the United States was no longer hoped for. Was it best to resist longer? Could the Cubans hope to free their country ? Gen. Maximo Gome/, himaolf, iu his pamphlet describing tho last years of ihe Cuban revolution, printed in Kings ton in 1878, relates the dignilicd answer Maceo gave him. Without discussing the reasons why vurrouder would bo politic he only said : "I cannot believe that you will aban don mo in ?tho Ii' Id where both of us iiiive fought sj often against our ene mies." To God. Vlccnto Garola ho said: "1 think tho concessions made by the Spaniards aro not sufficient to satisfy tho Cubans, and even if they wero worth while, our honor compels us to achieve the independence of tho island or die." Martin? /. Campos, in a letter ad dressed to the prime minister of Spain, Caoovas del Castillo, dated at Santiago do Cuba, March IK, 1878, said about M aceo: "He is the great obstacle to peace, notwithstanding tho pood wishes of the Cuban assembly of representatives and the Cuban government. In Santiago de Cuba, where ho rules, it is impossi ble to have any understanding with tho enemy. Maceo, who was a carman and is now a general, is a man of great courage and prcstigo, and under a rough appearance conceals great talent. Ho had an interview with me, and I can say that he will never surrender until ho thinks it best for bis cause." Hut Maceo became more and more isolated, and when he no longer had forces left to light with, ho agreed to leave the island under condition that it should be known that he protostcd against the peace. Ho sailed for Kingston in .June, 1878, on the steamer Fernando el Catolico. In tho same month he came to New York and after ward went to Honduras, wbero tho president, Marco Aurele Soto, a great friend of the Cubans, made him gov ernor of Puerto Cortez. After Soto'? fall he returned to Cuba and was de ported to j$pain by General Blanco. Later, when he returned to Cuba again under the govcrnmert of Polarleja, he was expolled for a third time. Maceo was living in Costa Kiea wood Marti prepared the present revolution, Ono night several Spaniards tried tc kill him at the door of a theater, know ing that ho was in correspondence with Marti. Ho was slightly wounded, but killed one of his assailants. In March, 18!)f>, ho landed in Cubs with his brother, Jose, aud several Others near Baracoa. He was sur ? rounded by a far superior number ol Spaniards, and only escaped by hh reokloes courage, Since September 1( last year, when ho was proclaimed lieu tenant general of the Cuban army by 1 the assembly of representatives hold at Imaguayo, his career has been well ? known to American readers. 1 V ra'cjo where ho routed Campos, Sao dei Yndio, Call mete. Mai Fiempo and Ca r carajicara, are the names of his great battles. His wonderful march to the l wo t and his two invasions of the prov ince of IMnardcl Bio deserve tho com pliments which appear in tho last re port of Secretary Olney and President i Cleveland. His stand against Wey lei has '.von the admiration of the world, and if the last news is confirmed, his return to the east of the western troehu is really wonderful. Has Maceo been killed as tbo Snan iar:is say ? Though a Spanish mili tary writer, Col. Camps calls Macec "a man whom bullets cannot kih,' nothing is more likely than that he should perish in battle, for he nover shunned danger. But as he is such a formidable foe of Spain, tho Cubans still hope that tho report of his death is a "Spanish fako" invented for the purpose of impressing tho American Congress. Timo will toll. TUB DRUMMER'S LATEST. In tho. Theatre He Hud More Fun Than Was Meant to bo Found in the Play. Tho drummer always brings tho latest trick. Hero it is: Take a spool of white basting cotton. Drop.lt into your inside coat pocket and, threading a needle with it, pass I it up through tho shoulder of your coat. Leave tho end an inch or so long on tho outside of your coat and take off the ncedlo. Four men out of live will try to pick that whole thread off your shoulder, and will pull on the spool until it actually does seem as though your clothes aro all bastings, and that they wore unraveling not only your clothes, bnt yourself. " I was In to seo Wilson Barrett in j Claudlan in Boston recently," said i the traveling man. ''It was in the i mod interesting and pathetic portion i of the play. Everybody was rapt. I I was silting bolt upright, and didnt i know or care to know a soul around i mo, when suddonly I felt some ono tugging at that basting cotton that I myself had eloan forgotten. I didn't tay a word and did not move. Foot hy by foot it unrolled. Half glancing around, I saw a man?a total stranger - yanking at tho thread. His face was i scarlet. He had pulled out about tun lyaids and was now hauling in hand ! over hand. He didn't euro to stop bo ! cause he had decorated my back aud I t> e whole aisle with basting cotton. lie hardly dared to go ahead, for he I didn't know what portion of my do mestic interior economy ho was trilling with. Rip I Rip I went tho thread. , Hand overhand ho yanked it. 'For I heaven's take '. wilt it ever end ?' I said ho above his breath. I sat por fcctlyustill and ran tho spool while bo pulled. tHow I wantedto yell. I never saw anything half so funny. Tho whole section of tho house got onto It. They didn't know whether to laugh at mo or him, but sat and looked on am azed at the speetaolc. At lust tho stranger behind gave ono frantic rip and yanked out about olovon yards in odo bunch, and as tho cotton got twist ed around his watch chain, over his eye-glasses, in hid hair and tilled his lap, I turned around, and producing tho spool from my pockot, said : ' I am very much obllgod for your interest and very sorry that I misled you. You see I have about 124 yards loft, but I pn sumo that you don't oaro for any more tonight. I am honestly sorry, hut I can't help smiling.' "Tho man was a modest sort of gen tleman In appearance. His face was us red a? ure even to his ears. He looked at me and then at the spool. He ohBnged color once ortwlce, and when tho crowd caught on ai tyu^Mugh went up. ' Tino two pforntrs.

Tho Amended Ijiiwn Originated With the Ijutn K. it. Murray?What Has Been Done by a Progressive County. Columbia Register. 1 havo always taken the greatest in terest in the a*, itation for good roads, fori believe roads aro an important adjunct of civilization. The roads o.' South Carolina aro in a deplorable con dition, though in some counties they havo been considerably improved in the last three or four years through the operation of uew road laws. 1 think that before another decade has rolled away, tho roads of South Caro lina will begin to compare favorably with those of any other Southern Slate, two or three eountios in North Caro lina being expected. Tho eitizenj of South Carolina aro taking moro in terest in the public highways now than ever before, having at last awakened to some realization of how much they have lost because of the horrible con dition of South Carolina's roads. Im migrants from other States ate going to buy lands and settle where the roads are best, for good roads menu increased facility for communication and less wear and tear on stock and buggies i and wagons, and that larger ioads can bo hauled with greater ease by the same teams. Good roads are cheaper than bad roads, even though it takes a big sum to make and maintain them. , Mecklenburg County, N. C, which has the best roads in tho South, ba^ learn ed this lesson. That county now has a r splendid system of macadamized roads, which is constantly being improved I ThOSO roads have cost the county lots of money, but tho returns havo far moro than justified the outlay. The , farming lands in that county are sa'd to have doubled in valuo, while bott T farming lands in South Carolina coun ties with poor roads have in tiie same time fallen off f>U percent, in valuo. , and the business of Charlotte, the ? county seat of Mecklenburg County, has been wonderfully built up. Talking about good roads, I have ? received from Supervisor W. P.'Snel* , grove of Anderson County a very in teresting vest-pocket pamphlet entitled "How They Work Public Highways in Anderson County, S. C." It is an illustrated description of the work done under Mr, Snelgrove, who is one of the most (Undent County Supervisors iu South Carolina, and is reprinted from i the souvenir edition of the Anderson Intelligencer. Mr. Snelgrove and a number of other gentlemen request re publioatlon of this article in The Re gister and I will oblige them, hoping it will be read by ovory citizen of South Carolina who is interest* d in the sub ject of good roads, for it contains much valuable information. The article fol lows : " Anderson County leads the Stato, and probably tho South, in good, smooth country dirt roads and In the n< w system of road making. In every direction from Anderson, run broad, smooth roads to tho limits of the coun ty, which aro so thoroughly graded and constructed as to rival many of the noted drive-days of the North and lOast. And tin iroads aro playing a very important part in increasing tbe volume of business in tho city of An derson. To the citizens of Anderson County it is now a matter of surprise that our common roads; have been for BO many years and so universally neglected, amidst *o much progress and prosperity in evory other direc tion, it is indeed remarkable Trade relations, both interstate and foreign, havo brought magnificent and thor oughly equipped railroads, which span tho country in every direction, aim connect us with al.nost evory market of tho world, but the common roads over which every pound of produce must bo hauled to feed the great thoroughfares of commerce and travol havo been, for many years, even moro than a century, sadly neglected year a ter year. Tho Legislatures have assembled, enacted laws pertaining to almost everything olse. but to intro duce a now system of road making oithor nevor occurred to them or seemed fraught with so many difficul ties, no ono appeared willing to un dertake! it until in 18H.">. Maj. E. B. Murray, now deceased, a young and remarkably bright representative from Anderson County, introduced a bill providing for a wider road bed, an in crease in tbo number of days work re quired and for a tax of 1 4 of ono mill to be set asido as a permanent im provement fund. "This bill became a law December 24, 1KSG. It did not meet with general approval, but its effect proved most beneficial. It directed tbe attention Oi tho people to tho subject of hotter roads, and in I ??.?:; ;? bill was introduced giving to us tho present system of road making. This bill bi'Oatne a law January 4th, 1801. Tho old board of county commissioners was abolished and township boards established in thoir stead. These hoards consist of throo discreet freeholders in < anh township in tho ?ovoral counties, re commended by the representatives In the Legislature and appointed oy tho (Jovernor. Tho office of county super visor is created end made eloctivo every two years. Tho supervisor has general jurisdiction over all public highways, roads, bridges and forrles ; over tho paupers and all mattors re lating to taxes and disbursements of fiublic funds for county purposes, and nvestcd with authority to administor oaths in matters appertaining to his offloe. The supervisor, togothe-r with tho ebalrman of tho township boards of commissioners, constitute tho coun-, ty board of commissioner*, with tho Highest of all in Leavening Power.-?Latest U. S. Gov't Report ?BSOI.UTEKV PURE supervisor us chairman of tho board.:i Prom this board ouo member is eleotcd ' as a member of the State board of equalization. Tho supervisor and ; chairman of the township boards uro required to lay oh* Into convenient j sections roads, bridgos and forries, j and number them for tho purpose of \ letting out same to be worked aud maintained by contract. Advertise ments aro made for bids, which bids must bo submitted in writing. Tho contract system is not made obligatory upon the county boards. ''Tho board having ti led laatyear the plao of letting the working of roads by I contract, have abundoned that system and now work the roads under the | following provisions of the State law. . The county board of commissioners have tho right to employ ovorseors lo superintend the working of highways, ; whether the con ract system bo adopt ed or not. A commutation tux is provided for whieh may bo paid in Lieu of personal labor. Road over seers aro appointed by tho township boards. The courts are required to sentence all able-bodied mule conviets, I whoso terms aro not over two years, to ' bard labor upon public works of the county in which eonvietion is had. I These couvicts aro organized into a couuty chain gang, under the control | of the supervisor, but arc not per-1 mitted to bo worked in connection | with or near a road contractor or over ?n< .? Th" " "??r?t??iou tax provided jor in uns h.ii v\a. ,r< i 'vas found that many preferred to pore '"in work instead of paying, and in Mai -h, 185)5, ibis tax was reduced to $1. Thin re duction met with approval and is found to bo sutisfuetory us u b niroo of revenue. "Inasmuch as tho contract system was left discretionury with the county board of commissioners, and tho system was new, without rules of precedents to guide in the details of tho work, very few of tho counties have adopted it. In fact, Anderson couuty a'oue ap pears to have fully adopted 't and taken the initiation in demonstrating, unaided, that the system is thor ough and satisfactory iu cost and in giving tho best roads the South has ever had. The first supervisor, W. P. Snelgrovc, was elected two years ago, and is again renominated in tho Demo cratic primaries by an overwhelming majority, it is very sls.nldeant that almost all of the other Supervisors in the SUite were defeated before the pri maries. " Prom tho very beginning Mr. Snel grovc has exhibited a marked Interest in this new road system, and in the plans adopted by him has clearly proven his litness for this difficult posi tion. In Anderson Couuty there aro seventeen townships. Up to this time Mr. Snelgrovo has purchased for these townships seven Steel Champion road machines, which are manufactured by the American Road Machine Company. Kennett Square, Pa. These ma chines wore selected after carefu Comparison with other similar ma chines manufactured by others, and they have given perfect satisfaction. These machines shape, grade and ditch, leaving a smooth track sloping from the centre to the side ditches, forming a kind of water-shed, which prevents tho standing of water on tho road-bed. It Is found that eaoh Cham p on does the work of about sixty hands, i'he supervisor intends to put a Steel Champion machine in each township in the county in tho course of a y< ur or two. There is only one .-quad of convicts in the county at pros) nt, aud in the different townships work has to b ? performed by hired labor, but the machines have gone over nearly the whole county, cutting down the hills, rounding up the roods in geod shape, and leaving them in a condition to be easily finished. " At the convict camp there an about, thirty conviets. The camping out lit is complete. There is u .-ui> btautial teilt for the convicts l<> by In feet. At night the men are placed with their feet together, chained ate guarded, The tent for the guards is 12by N feet, and conveniently located near tho convict tent. The most unique article, perhaps, of this camp ing OUtHt i>- the portable kitchen, built of corrugated iron aud plae d on wheels. This kltcneu is 7 by 12 feet, with a stove bolted down secure! \ St is arranged inside with shelves, tables and everything neoea-ary for cooking purposes. Ventilation is pro vided by means of wire, gauze ?ojin Two mules only are r< quired to roovi this kitchen from place to place. Every thing bus been working smooth ly at the camp so fur. No attempts t" escape have been made, but among the necessities of the camp ure blood hounds. Several of these dogs have been purchased and are a terror to tin conviets. "Tiie tusk of transforming a millioa miles, or more, of bad roads into good ones, a task which involved the dis ruption of century old systems, t\i development of new lines of legislation in ail the States of the Union, and in many oven the changing their con stitutions, and whieh hus threatened to r< quire an expeuditure running Into billions, has commonly been doomed so vu-tand difficult us to bo utterly hopeless : but it suddenly appeurs that the few good citizens who have had tho courage to attempt it here and tncre, have reason to be astonished at their own success. Not only have the ways and means been found withoui oppression to tho taxpayer, but tin actual cost of good road making has boon brought fur below the early esti niutes. Sixteen Slates huve pas-to new road laws, more or less radical In their nature, and one bus amended Its constitution to permit the adoption of sueh laws. Many hundreds of miles ol good roads have already been built. In localities widely separated, undoi varying conditions and through variout methods oi administration, finance and construction. In tho South ruon especially the question of better roads has been thoroughly discussed, and active 9tcj)9 have been taken to have the plans carried out. "In Anderson County this new sys tem has given perfect satisfaction. The dread of country roads has given place to a delight to bo upon them, whilo the receipts of produce in the city of Anderson, due to tho improved coudition of tho roads, are rapidly in creasing." -?? . ? * Vm-1 CUKKNWOOD COUNTY.
