The waves of influence from 11 t.he centre of agitation have even a reached old Williamsburg, whose local arteries of trade have for years Iteen a target for the jests v and gil>es of more favored coun- j ties in that respect. But a brighter day is dawning for us. The'0 very fact that we recognize our|n .deficiency is a long step toward r amelioration of existing condi- 1 tions. How much vital, practical t interest exists among our people will be fairly indicated by theati tendance at the good roads rally on the 28th of Julv, when the r highest authority on road-building! in the Tinted States, possihlv, will In1 in Kingstree to tell lis) how to make our highways 1 letter i ! t ?the maximum of benefit with I c the minimum of cost.

Lever's Lame Defense, { Congressman Lever, in trying top wriggle out of his vote for a tariff',, on lumlier, which played into the L hands of the luml>er trust, says!j that the tariff on lumlier "put three million dollars into the * 1 f I LU i . treasury or the i nueu maies, noi a one cent of which will come from , s the i>eople of South Carolina." j Surely Mr Lever does not expect jv to fool the voters .of his district t i nth any such tominyrot. It has> een repeatedly stated, and weja lave never heard of its being |0 lisnuted. that the tariff on lumber js or which two of our Congress- j; nen voted, advanced the price of t ill kinds of luml?er Sl.oO a 1* housand feet. That l>eing the ase, Mr Lever should explain c vhy if it has caused tlieui to is lay tribute to the trust on every s icuse built during the past year, e he lumber tariff' does not cost t lie people of this State "one t ent!" If the tariff didn't ena- r )le them to raise the price of t undier, why did all the saw-mills t >f any consequence send men to <1 A'ashington to work on their Con- a tressmcii in order to influence v hem to yote for the tariff? Ii We hope to hear this point nul others fn!lv discussed In'fore S he campaign is .over. The people lave a right to know the facts. . The Boston Herald has failed " or over two million dollars.

Good health is 11 , , tl he best asset a town can have ,nd possibly no community in ^ suith Carolina is more blessed tl n this respect than kingstree. The most revolting feature of 0 he slugging mill at Reno, Neva- '' la, which has l>een almost igmrcd in the press reports, was a he presence of Johnson's white . rife at the ring-side. According i) our recollection, several years ^ go when Johnson came into the a iine-light he put away his lawful 11 lack spouse and tied up with a ^ rhite skinned wench who shunl by uring the tight "seeking on" the urly black against one of her J wn race and color.

Many of these places, opposed to Ik? reputable, show ^ ictures more lewdly suggestire han the scenes presented in the \ west theatrical "joints" of the J 'tenderloin" districts of our big 1 ities and it is surprising that teps have not t>een taken long j ince to eliminate the evil tend- , neies of these immoral exhihi- , ions. The agitation to suppress 5 he Jeffries-Johnson fistic fiasco nay he the entering wedge of a ( do long dormant public sentiment hat will force officials, however ? 1 lereliet heretofore, to take definite ction toward regulating these icious resorts, which hid fair to ( veoine training schools for crime.
