THURSDAY, APRIL 22,1909. "A Blowing Straw" Gather the following item from i l _ T-i i? r>? i ??? tne rungaivee xveuviu, *?c aic hvi criticising Mr Graham, he is ouly following the first law of nature, but when there is a new county anda smaller county there will be some work done on the roads up this way The bridge money comes out of the county general fund and not the road fund now, and when there are bridges built in the south end, we north end folks have the major part of the bill to foot. The good road issue alone is suffi- 1 ient to rally around and solidify the north end lor a division ci tne great county of William-burg. The Record item is as follows "Road Engineer Graham says that the road from htre to Padding Swamp will be put in apple pie order in time for the tobocco qpou. Kings- ( tree wants that Pudding Swamp tobocco '*?Rut ltdge Co. Xem. ' Before undertaking to criticise or appeal to prejudice our "Rut- 1 ledge countv" contemporary should get at the facts. The work promised by Road Engineer Graham 1 on the road from Pudding Swamp to Kiugotree is by no means a 1 new undertaking. If we remember * aright, the causeway over Pudding 1 Swamp, on this road, was built ' by the then supervisor (Mr Sin- 1 oWirm npsrlv i vA?r .lao. in rv- J J, J ? J 3-7 ? Bponie to the? presentment of the ( grand jury Mr Graham's promise, ' as we understand it. is merely to complete the good work left un- i finished at the close of Mr Sir.- i gletaiy'3 administration. In so do- . ing we do not exactly see how ( Mr Graham is "following the first j daw of nature," which we presume $ our friend means is "self-preserv* , ation " ( Without having Mr Graham's , word for it, we venture tae opin- j ion that aince his election to the . office cf road engineer more work < has been done and more money i spent iu the proposed "Rutledge" j area than all the rest of the , county combined. ( "The bridge money comes from , the ccunty general fund * * * and when bridges are built in the south 1 mh! w? noilh end folks have the ma- i jar part of the bill tc foot.'* Will the editor of JVf.w explain why and. how ';we noith-end folks ' pav more for bridges :u the count? than south-end or westend oi east-end folks? Rather Interesting. Messrs Eamby and Oliver who has leen working on the survey of Rutledge county 3ince March 17, finished their field work last Thursday. The area has been calculated and Rutledge coines within the requiree a. iiienc or tiie oousniutiwu ^<iu?iuiug for new counties An excelent map lias been made Premature announcement of plans is unwise, sufficient to say. howeyer, that those in charge of the new county rc tter know what they are about. The formation of a new county is slow process but iu this case it is as sure a certainity as it is in the mind of meital man to predict. The foregoing item appeared in the "Kutledge* County News of April 19. Mr R 1' Smith, the chairman of the new county oommission. informs us that up to this time the survejors have not submitted any official report so far as he know?. In view of + this fact the above clipping contains information that is interesting?even to members of the commission. The death of Gen Matthew C Butler removes one of the greatest military leaders that South Carolina gave to the Lost Cause. Ilamptou and Butler! In war and in peace the two are inseparably linked and when the muster roll is called where the immortal dead from our State are bivouacked, the names of these two peerless chieftains and constructive statesmen will lead all the rest for all time. Only a few years ago Hampton, the incomparable paladin of war and ileus ex macliina of his humiliated State, answered the last roll-call; now his old comrade and chief lieutenant joins him, "on Fame's eternal camping ground." If it be permitted that the spirits of the dead meet and recognize one another over the Great Divirlp. what a reunion this must have been between these knightly souls! Capt J C Minns, the retiring commandant of the Cltmson College battalion, and Presiderft P H Mell, of the same institution, are in the midst of a newspaper logomachy which to the onlooker appears unseemly and unnecessary. Charges have been made that should be thoroughly probed by the board of trustees, whose duty is clearly to determine where inefficiency exists and take means to correct it if it entail the dismissal of the entire faculty. Clemson is too big and costly an nstituiion to be made the plaything of any individual or set of ndividuals. The trustees should nvestigate the charges and either ixonerate the faculty or tix the :>l?uie where it belongs. The general rejoicing over the L" S supreme court decision in :hc* dispensary case is marred by i note of discord. The fly in the >iutment?to vary the metaphor? ,'s the possibility which has been suggested that the liquor houses will move for a re-hearing of the >aae. Should this motion be granted the whole matter will r.ave to be gone over again ind the hands of the "winding-up" commmission will be tied hard and fast for an mdefluite period. Verily, the ways of the law are devious and equally verily, with a pleuty of money to grease them, the wheels of justice may keep turning indefinitely while the "malefactors of great wealth'' look on aud laugh with complacent glee. Senator Tillman called at the White House Tuesday to pay his respects to President Taft. It is the first time in seven yeara that the senior Senator from South Carolina has darkened the portals of the Chief Executive's office and his visit occasioned a bit of surprise among those who knew of the strained relations existing between Senator Tillman and President Taft's predecessor. Tillman's reply to the newspaper Aimefinnc U'IW oTlfir UUi rcspuuucuio i|ui.suvu? .. ? acteristic: "I waited until a gentleman got there," said the knight of the pitchfork, as he entered the presidential dwelling. We often wonder how any person can be persuaded into taking anything but Foley's Honey and Tar for coughs, colds and lung trouble. Do not be fooled into accepting "own make" or other substitute.

At Ada, Oklahoma, four prisoners charged with killing United j State3 Deputy Marshal, A L Bob bitt, were dragged from the jail by a mob of 200 citizens and hanged. The men who were hanged were wealthy land-owners, viz: J P Miller, Fort Worth, Texas; B B Burrell, Duncan, Okla; Jesse West and Joseph Allen, Canadian Texas. The cause of the lynching is said to have been the law's delay. Thomas C Aughtry died in the penitentiary Saturday. Anghtry had served 12 years on a life sentence when death reprieved him.

This is how she described her trouble to a friend: "You see, my daughter, Harriet, married one of those homypath doctors and my daughter Kate an allypath. If I call the homypath my allypath son-in-law and his wife will get mad, an' if I call my allypath son-in-law then my homypath sonin-law and his wife will get mad, an' if I go ahead and get well without either of 'em then they'll both get mad. So I don't see but I've got to die outright."?London Answers. Man's Contrariness. One of the most curious traits of that most curious creature, man, is the fact that the very things he most admires in a sweetheart he condemns or ignores in a wife. Before they were married when she coquettishly stuck a flower in her pretty curls he went into rhapsodies of romantic fervor. After the honeymoon when she tries the same little Cupid's trick he most likely does not even see that she has adorned herself with a floral wreath to win a compliment or a kiss.?
