"A Blowing Straw"
Gather the following item from

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.

gentleman got there," said the

We often wonder how any person
can be persuaded into taking anything
but Foley's Honey and Tar

A Trying Position.
Mrs. Oldwoman was seriously ill
and found herself in a trying position.
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.?
