It It. AUT... EmoIT. GOOD ROADS. Anderson County has just had a good roads convention and Orangeburg and York are to have conventions very soon on the same subject. Newberry held i her convention some time ago. Theso are goc: things and will help the cause as agitation of any good cause in mod- i eration will do good. We need money and the machinery for its wise and judi cious expenditure and then we can have roads. We are glad to see the agita- b tation. It will help us in our efforts to get some legislation through which will give practical force to the sentiment. We wish every cou-ity in the State would hold a good roads convention this present year and put the members of the legis'ature on notice that something would be expected of them. Ourentire road law needs overhauling and revis ion. Then we need to wake up to the ( fact that to build roads it takes money I and we know of no way for the govern ment to get, the money except by taxa tion either direct or indirect, and it makes little di ITerence how it comes out of the people at last. We want to recognize this fact at the beginning of the game. Almost any fellow with a glib tongue can get on the stump and tell the people of the beauties of good roads and even dilate on the good results and the bele fits of good roads. The peuole know and a)l)reciit.e these things a!reaCdy. It I nends no argument and it; rhetoric to convince them on Lnese po'nts. What we want is a practical plan for raising the money so that the burden will not bear heavily on any one aeand then a wise and judicious and tusiness like system for its expenditure h'lhese two must come toget her. It is good to keep up lie agitation and out of it and the n1titude of counsel a pltn will be evolved. It is coming just as sire .; ainytihing e he and we hope it may be soon. 'lhe l,pople of the rural districts recognize its importance as well as the pwolkiv of the cities and towns. Rond imprlovelient is a neces- t sity as well as a luxury. The people are CoIming to realize that about the heaviest tax they are paying today is the mud tax, and tlie maln with a practical besi iess like plan111 is the man we are looking ('or. In 01he mane'litne let t he agitation go o.If. What we would like to see in each county is some roads built, if only a few miles, so that, our people could see what the dil'erene is and what. the cost would be and then the thing would ma terialize. In ouir own coutily we have heen t ry ing to get our sup( 'visor to see the wis (10111 of building a few iiles of good I road mo that. the people could have a practical demonstrat son. Then we could get an idea of cost. and result. Our county organized a good roads convention some ll ime ago and tint ed township chaimIlieln to organize t lie va rious townships. We hope these town ship chairmen will proceed with tiIhe work assigned t.hemi and have ai rousing uniiting next. time andi advise tholtse apt p)oinited to speak t hat somiethiung lprae tical will be ex pcted. I ,et thle good wvork go on. ED)ITodl A L tIl mG ES. D)uring the plast few'. days several editorial changes have'. been announced. EdIitor .1. ( .

I f the law is being rigidly or even moderately en forced in Charleston he hlas reason to congratulate himself, but before doing so he had better be sure some 0110 is not fooling him. Thle same may be saidI of the state of affairs in Columbia. We wish the Governor every success in tile peaceful enforcement of the dispensary law ndr evney othne law. GBRSDAL NEWS WOTES.
