road •‘overseera." 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

too often proves a troitfol source of
bickering and dissatisfaction.

comfortable highways, and to have

OUR DEFECTIVE ROAD LAWS
One of the most serious detects
is oar system of laws, and one
which the Legislature should eu
deuvor to remedy at it* very next
i, is the present method of
repairing highways. It is so for
. iMW«* adapted to our neoeesi
ties end circumstances that it is
foot becoming an intolerable burs
den to the people. W^tUiw$ going
any deeper into tbo aebjket, ws
might very well take the ground
that it should be amei ded simply
to obutttose. Public

it. The Comity may

ifi vindication.
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

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.

deeiet. Watch out for the notiees
to be given next week, however, i
