The idea of repairing the roads to he county sent is a goon one. uerwmy nioie people travel these high n ays hail any others, aucl in working hem the county officials are giving iractical form to the ethical pnnci le of the ''greatest g(?od to the reatest number."

Iu an interview with a representaive of The Record Supervisor Graliim spoke very enthusiastically of he work he has undertaken. We re impressed with the fact that oth he and his associates are in earlest in their best efforts to do somehin<r tangible in the way of iniiroving the roads. Supervisor Graham s tys that it is mpossible to work the road michiue o advantage with less then twenty feet for ihe road-bed. The law alows this width for the right of-way, Hid farmers who are in the habit of xtending their furrows into the ?ublic road cause no end of trouble, lereafter, he says, the fall width of wentv -eet will be utilized aud and-owners are urged not to plough nto the public roads. ?7 ]} (iood jiiiiuor is a medicine thai s not carried in a rjoctor's cas , out can effect more cures than any dyujr. c 4 ' .

This t bject is the bj.U for the annual j, me of foot-ball. This bill is the , i1 ?asnre of .which mention was made i reek or two ago. The main feu- j re is that it leaves to the county h mmissioners the power to fix the ! | mber of days and provides that ' | j commutation tax shill b_- at the , ,e of 25c p 'r d ly for each d ty so ed. This bill is now before the nate, ha vug passed the House, i 1'he joint resolution providing for change in the constitution r ising , e term of representatives from two , four tears went through the :>wer Home. The Senate will obablv knock it in the head. A bill that caused a lot of dis < ssion, much ridicule and not a !' tie merriment, is Mr King's bill; j require bicyclists and automo- ; ists to 6top and dismount on ( ?e:iug a buggy, carriage or wagon, 1 less per i issiun be given to passi' Query. Can a bicyclist stop: j liout dismounting?

On invitation s Senate a tt -nded. * * ? The bill raising the value of the j lolarships in Winthrop College )m $44. to $100 passed the! ^ mse by au overwhelming majority. I * le stand taken by the- advocates of e measure is that the State should ?at h--r girls as well as she treats { ys. I _ The franchise tax bill, which ^ ;nt through the lower branch of j e Assembly last week, is periaps'^ e most important measure acted >ou ill recent years. It provides r an annual privilege tax upon all { Tpor.itions doing business in this; ate. Upon public utilities, such! railroad, express, street railway, j legraph and steamboat companies,; \ e tax is three mills on gioss earn- j gs; upon private corporations, such ! banks, mercantile companies, cot- ' n mills, etc., the *ax is one-half j one mill on the paid up stock.! he reports required are among the' i rongest features of the bill. This l ill give publicity to the internal 1 fairs and management of corpoia-; one. It is well known that trusts id monopolies dread nothing else; lite so much as publicity. This ,11 was proposed by the tax comlission and will likely go upon the! ! a.ule hooks. Should it become j( iw, it will bring something like! 75,000 to ?100,000 into the easnrv vcarly*^ li The measures prouding for new' judicial circuits having failed in 1 !i?*' House, as was stated in last, week's ; IvECoKU. the bill which provides for. separation of the Se.-sion* and Coin- i men I'lcas courts and the creation of: four sessions circuits has Inx'U in-! r reduced in the Senate, with the j hope that if it can be put through! that end of the Capitol, the House j uav pass it. The Senate now has before it the! jill creating the office of insurance j oinniisaioner, which has already rone through the other branch of 1 \ssembly. Mr Gonrdin's bill requiring the joard of examiners to grant the 11:ense of pharmacist to Dr \V G Gamble passed the }louse Saturday md will go over to the Senate tonorrow. Mr Bass' bill raising the pay cf fitnesses in the Sessions court to *1.00 per clay came np on second eading Friday. After short speeches ^ ry Messrs Gouidin and Bass it went ;hrough like a flash. Saturday it massed the third reading and went to :he Senate. The committee cn commerce and nanufacturing made a favorable re- ^ x>rt with amendments on Mr Wall's | ;team boat bill, the substance of which wa9 given last week. The bill providing for a new jail it Kings tree has passed both houses itid will go to the Governor as soon is ratified. Mr Gauge's hill incorporating portions of Lee and Luki* townships of Williamsburg into Florence county lias passed the House. This territory is that in which the election upon annexation to Florence county was held some time ago. Mr William Cooper came up to Columbia on Sunday night . !
