The reapoo- aibility ia rested ia too many beads for it to be promptly and sxtiitfac tor ily placed npon the proper party when error ia committed or diaaatia faction rendered. Then again, the road overseer baa entirely too mncb power; “he shall determine the kind ot tools each man must bring” and considerable latitude is left him as to tha place to which e*eh workman ia to be assigned. Soch antbority might be very properly exercised by Coonty officers, bat in very many cases, ia boandto csaae bad feeling against tha favor ed one in a commonity who may be chosen to fill this sinecure These overseers are expected to see that “each work is done on t be roads and bridges aa can be performed by the road hands”—a rather vague requirement wbicb again places entirely too much latitude io their bauds. The privilege granted them of catting timber and using, wood earth or atone within a oertaia dis tance of the road is certainly loo mportant a one to grant to any bat a beaded officer, and one who won Id not be likely to administer lightly the trust reposed in him. The matter of “warning,” an irregu lar aemi—legal process, la another phase of the system suaooptable of the grossest evasion, and which too often proves a troitfol source of bickering and dissatisfaction. The only way to obtain good, comfortable highways, and to have thorn kept In perfect repair, ia to place t^e responsibility directly ia tbo hands of tha County Oomais- skmero, and mine the money to peg the wngeeof regularly hired hands by aeaea of a par oopifa tax. n UR weeM rsI bn Ir la»t moment.

THE CONFEDERATE MONUMENT We sotiee with much graMfieas tiou that the Survivors’ Aaaueii tiou, at its last meeting on August 29th, have takes the first steps to wards removing the Confederate Monument to the Public Square asd .bare appointed a commit tee to consider the mutter. There can be no serious objeo tion to this proposition. As it is now, the monument in its present Isolated location does not fulfill the purpose for which it was erected; namely, aa a lasting and constant reminder that the memory of our dead heroes ia still and will ever be cherished in the hearts of the people. Few ever see this testimo nial of the gratitude ot the brave women of Darlington whieb ia in itself a tribute to their courage and fortitude in the “times that tried men's souls,” and it ia dcubtful whether many of the number ot atrangera continually p a a a i n g through our town even know of ita existence. When it was first erect ed it wee claimed that there was no place on the Square suitable for the loeation of the monument and that if it were placed in close prox imity to the old Town Hall, the danger of damage in case of fire would be very great. Now that this building has been removed this objection no longer exist*. We sincerely hope, therefore' that the Ladies’ Memorial Associa tion will agree to the propoaition, and that the Town Council and the County Commissioners will author ize its consummation. THE WEATHER AMD THE CROPS. The agricultural outlook has been growing so gloomy day by day that the entire Oounty is afs fected with a deplorable ease ot ‘the bines.” The sun baa at last come out, but the damage already inflicted by the raius sod floods is enormous. The extent of it in fact can scarcely be estimated as yet, a the sight of both corn and oot- 1 sprouting in the field ns nt present, is n novel one to , the latest that thewwrms have appeared ia different eaetions of the County, and are making way 1 Methodist Chnirh Services Prefer meet ing every Thursday tveniug at 8 o’clock.

THE “RACKET* STORE,” J. J. Shepard, Manager, ia again hoard from this week; tn (bet aearea- ly a day paaaee that new and at tractive goods are net received. Mr. Shepard was to give THE news a grand advertise meet for this inane, hat aa will be seen from his email doubje column notion pub lished elsewhere, be has really been too busy to write it. Tbia is liter ally the ti nth; the “Racket Store” ia one place in town which ia com fortably filled with customers, even on rainy days. There are certainly some fine bargains to be made there, and those who do not pay a visit to this institution of the town are do iug tbrmaelvta great injustice. Mr. Shepard’s latest “ran” during the past week baa been on shoes. Nothing like bis goods, considering the marvellous prices at which be arils them, baa ever been seen here before. We mention the Aim of GANSON A BROOM ao far down on onr list not becans* they were not worthy of mention among the very first, bat because the task of trafr-feiriug their enor moos stock to the handsome store just completed for them under the Enterprise Hotel has proved so great that it would be almost iro possible at tbia time to say just wbat they have’nt got When the transfer shall have been satisfac torily 'accomplished they will re ceive at onr hands such ao extend ed notice as they deserve, which is saying a good deal. Their work for the past season baa already es tablisbed their repatation in our midst, and it will be anffieient to aay at this time that they propose to make a strong fight tor the mas tery in the way of faucy and drees goods. Last, but by no means least, is the enterprising, wide awake, J. B08RNBE8G, and it will not be necessary to say much about him to the intelligent reader, who has already cast a glance at our first page. Every body is talking about tbe “grit” of the young merchant who is willing to spend so much money on ao ad vertisement which la by far tbe largest thing of the kind which has ever appeared within tbe borders of Darlington Goouty. Mr. Roet-n- berg'a two large establishments situated a* opposite corners of Pearls Street, just where it inter- secta tbe Public Square are alrea dy veritable “hiveu of iednstry,” and his enterprise will doubtless gain for him a large share of the coming trade.
