The matter of improving our pub lic highways Is one of vital import ance, and the best means, of doing is being constantly discussed in the newspapers and magazines, with os yd no really practicable plan being suggested, at least for our section. In treating this subject it must be borne in mind that a plan that is perfectly practicable for one section would be an entire failure in an other, where different conditions pre vail, and that no fixed rule can be laid down for bettering the condition of our roods. Where the soil is composed almost entirely of sticky clay, and where limestone rock is abundant and easily procured, ma cadamized roads easily solve the problem, that is if the people are financially able to pay for the cost of their construction, which is from $2,000 to $3,000 per mile. The rock is broken into small pieces and spread over to the road to a depth of about-six inches, and-soons settles down on the tenacious clay arn^ is converted into a bard smooth road way, wtych, unless the traffic is very heayy, needs very little work toJteep i • • ^ - • »*-- - he suppressed tl REFORMERS OF CYPRESS Will Nat Trade at Darlingtei— Strong Resolntions Adopted.

Whereas, The people of the town of Darlington has such contempt for the laws of oaf State, we deem it in judicious for onr wives and daught ers to vhit their town to do their shopping and prefer spending onr money with merchants who regard law as well as the feeliogs of their feilow-nian.

Where- ever there is a low fiat place on the road, that becomes boggy in wet weather, the first ihiug is lo give the surplus water a chance to drain off, and then use some of the surplus sand, on the high parts of the road to elevate these low places. Nothing that can be done will be of much practical value unless there is a radical change in the construc tion of our vehicles and an abandon ment of the idea that all vehicles, from a light buggy to a log carriage, must have the same guage and that a narrow tire is lighter than a wide one.

The above resolntions were copied from the Columbia Register, and it is difficult to see how any set of men could knowingly put themselves in such an absurd position simply to give expression to their political spite. -Of course they were perfect ly -aware, at the time of passing these resolntions, that there was no insurrection in Darlington, but as their political master, Governor Till man, had said that there was one, they, as a matter of coarse, had to say so too.

The Darlington Baseball Associa tion accepted a challenge from Sum ter last week, am! consequent they sent a nine of bull-tossers over to battle with the Gamecocks last Wed nesday to play two games.

It is almost needless to say that the pres ent system of working the roads can be improved on, and with a change in this direction and the adoption of the ideas suggested in this article, there would he comparatively little complaint in regard to the bad con dition of our roads. Sometime ago these same sugges tions were made m the columns of The Herald, but they will bear repitition. It is useless, however, to and other municipal officers, is simply puerile, and will accomplish about the same effect that a dog does when he barks at the moon. Of coarse no man with a decent amount of common sense will endorse such resolutions as those, but when a set of men get together and insist on making them selves absurd, aud advertising their bigotry and political subjection to the will of an unscrupulous politi cian, there is no way to-prevent them from doing so. What they mean by saying that it is injudicious frr their wives and daughters to trade in Darlington passes our comprehension.

D. Rust, of our town, is sujierintendent. Some of the sug gestions, as regards the best methods of teaching certain branches of study, while different from the plan that is usually followed, ale un- questioiiablp good and are advocated by the most intelligent and pro- 5 resolve educators of the present ay. This report is very cmlitabte to Mr. Rast and shows conclusively that he is thoroughly posted as to the best methods of imparting knowledge. The present session closes Mr. Rost’s thinl year in Ben- nettsville, two as principal and the last as superintendent of the schoo 1 . The school is in good condition and a credit to the people of our sister town. They want till the trade they can honestly get and can compete with any town in the State, but those who wish lo sacrifice ’ sir interests to prejudice are welcome to do so. Twk Sad Deaths in Flarenee. Mrs. Hattie Parrott Luke, the wife Of Dr. F. U., Lake, of Florence, died on Monday morning at 0 o’clock. She had been in feeble health for a long time, and death to her was a welcome release from severe physical suffering. She was a native of this county, being the daughter of the late Mr. Hurdy Parrott and leaves a 1 large circle of relatives and friends in the vicinity of her former home. She possessed in any fine and lovable traits of character and will be very much missed by all who came in contact with her. Her husband and four children survive her. W., C. & A. Railroad.
