?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.

The People Aro Anxious to Hoar (be

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

speaking on bomo days to from 100,000
to 150,000 men and women, Such u
reccrd was never made before by mor
tal orator. 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

gels as clear an Idea and as btrung an

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

a ljur of tho country in ordor to keep
the liiiancial question agitated. There
is ubaoiutoly no foundation for this,

It id usually a question whether tho
public will pay to hear a famous man.
Sometimes they will and sometimes
thoy Will not -and generally the latter

on the tariff just after tho Wilson bill

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. '

Of a bustling, busy city.
Where ilic sound <>f passing feet

Gathering o'er ibe wintry sky ;
Suddenly I *aw a picture,

(rnmed within a lighted window
Stands to night a lovely boy,
clad In suit of riebest velvet,
IIin fair face radiant with joy.
Curls that form a golden aureole
Round a brow as white as enow,
Eyes as blue as dew-gemmed violets,
On cheek and lip a roseate glow.
Peering through tbe wintry darkness
Listening as the cold wind blows,
Kee him clasp Iii? handR iu gladness
As he shouts," Iiurrah I it snows I"
Now I know that golden visions
Of the coming morrow bright
Are gliding, one by one, before him,
Filling him with wild delight.
He hears tbe silver bell's sweet tinkle,
The fur lined sleigh, the dashing team,
All now before bis menial vision

Again, as from the window turning
To face the wind1 that coldly blows,
I hear bis shout of exultation,
"Hurrah! hurrah 1 It shows I it snows!''
Far down a dimly lighted alley
As 1 still wander on and on,
Another window-picture i.reets me,
A picture desolate, forlorn,
Tis a bov's face, pinch d and haggard,
Illumined by a candle's light,
Closely pressed against the window
Gazing wildly on the night
('tail in faded thread-bare jacket,
Shivering as the blast sweeps by,
With bare feel now see hi 111 i lauding.
With clasped hands, Oh ! hear him cry
" What will mother do to-morrowl
Qod Our Father only kno.vs!
No more bread, and no more fuel.
And see, alas! alas ! it snows !"
These are the companion pictures
I carry with me everywhere:
One 1 eall "The Morning Sunbeam,"
One "The Midnight of Despair."
And oh, may He who always tempers
To tbe shorn iamb the chilling blast.
Gather, anti carry in His bosom
The helpless ones, till Bic>rms are past.

IMPROVED ROADS IN ANDERSON COUNTY.
THE 1MONKKR IN ROAD MAKING.
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

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

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."
