People and Roads.
When a very amiable gentleman
steps into his car or climbs into a
buggy and takes a drive out into
the country and gets stuck in the
mud of a bad road he immediately
calls down something besides blessings
upon the heads of the people
responsible for such conditions. It
never enters his head that perhaps
he himself is one of those people.
But he is. He is one of them because
he has not done his part toward
compelling officials to see that
the roads are in proper condition.
He has not raised his voice in behalf
of better country roads, or if
he lias it has l>een so weak and halfhearted
that it has neither been
heard nor heeded.
It is the duty and it should be
the pleasure of every citizen to talk
and work for better country roads,
for better road9 mean more prosperous
conditions generally. The
man in town is just as much interested
in the condition of roads as
the farmer, for when roads are bad
and the marketing of crops is difficult
and expensive the farmer is
less prosperous, and this in turn is
detrimental to the best interest of
the man in town.
This is an ere of road building,
and the time is opportune for us to
rise to the occasion and look to the
condition of our own roads.
We as a people are not paupers
and there is no occasion for poor
roads in this county. That such
roads do exists is simply an evidence
that we as citizens are not
alive to our opportunities or our
duty.
While we ard pimply jogging
along with makeshifts for roads and
bridges, people in adjoining counties
are building better roads and reaping
the financial results.
" ? till _ ?T /~1!a
a om iu wnien i^iKe vary, especially
Florence county in general,
was interested was one to have Williamsburg
county refund to Lake
City school district money paid by
the Northeastern railroad into the
treasury which it is claimed belonged
to the Lake City school district.
"The bill will not lie passed as there
is no one pressing it and the Senator
from Williamsburg will not allow
it to pass until the claim is fully
established. Mr T J Cottingham
has made two trips to Columbia in
this interest."?Lake City News.
We are informed that there were
two bills introduced with reference
to the above matter without a previous?
Knowledge of their existence
the part Of the Williamsburg
jKir fVip. wjtVs and means
aeit?tpiiiv/n, uj ?? ?v committee
at the instigation of the
A
M Florence delegation, asking that the
county of Williamsburg be required
* t?'refund about $2,300, it being
.
claimed that this sum was due the
(
Lake City school district on account
of taxes paid into the Williamsburg
treasury by the Northeastern railroad
when it should have been paid
to the Florence County Treasurer at
Florence. If this claim is correct it
is no fault of Williamsburg, but an
error on the part of the railroad
company in returning its taxable
property. Williamsburg county
has collected only such taxes from
the company as are justifiable by
the returns furnished the County
Auditor.
When the hills were reported hy
the ways and means committee the
only proper thing for this county's
delegation to do was to oppose its
passage, not knowing the actual
facts in the case, and taking the
ground that the Florence county claim
should l>e established in a court of
equity and not by the method attempted
in the final days of the
legislative session.
We are satisfied in our own mind
that neither the Williamsburg Senator
nor any of the delegation would
oppose the refunding of any funds
that may justly belong to our sister
county. But they do want to know,
and very properly so, upon what
ground the claim is based and to be
^IVCLi auipiC time At/i luvtcvigaviv/u
into the merits of the same.
It seems to us that if the Northeastern
Railroad company has paid
more money into the Williamsburg
treasury than was due us, then the
same should be returned to the
company direct and not to Florence
county.
One of the most conspicuous pieces
of legislation that faiied to become
law at the winding up of the session
was that on the part of a Charleston
representative to "pull one over"
on the rest of the old State by getting
a bill through to grant Charleston
a "beer and light wine" license.
But what does Charleston care al>out

A Government seed inspector
"dropped'' into town one day last
week and extracted a "fee" of $2.50
from local dealers in seed corn.
Some of them, it seems, only had
about two and a half quarts to start
with, which makes it pretty expensive
corn. We can shake hands
with oureelf for having bought
our pint of seed corn before there
was a possibility of this additional
cost being added to the retail price.
Always take time by the forelock
and ydu will get there, generally, if
you don't get sick.
Well, we are back on the job and
feeling fine, thanks to our able
physicians and the tender care of
a loving wife and sister. We
would also mention the innumerable
kindnesses shown us by community
friends and some of the delicious
dainties sent in to appease
or tempt our appetite, but judging
from the amount of noise some editors
in this State make over corn
muffins and waffles, we refrain for
fear they might find themselves
with a desire to feign illness, forgetting
that they are not in Kings
tree, among the laggest hearte<l
people in the world.
A Surprise Party,
Hemingway, February 29:?Monday,
night, February the twentyfirst,
some of the young folk of
Hemingway "surprised" Mr and Mrs

The "surprisers" were Misses Lela
Burnie, Gladys Hutson, Gladys Copeland,
Martha Jenkinson, Leah Eaddy
and Marie Flowers; Messrs R N

and Fitz Hugh Eaddy. A delightful
social evening was spent by all.
Miss Leland has stopped for a few
weeks stay with her sister en route
from Charleston to her home in
Saluda, N C.

Presentment ot Grand Jury.
We. the grand jury of Williamsburg
county for the year 1916, having
completed all business that has
come before us at this, the spring
term of the court of general sessions
fnr Willinmshuro emintv and havinc
made all of the investigations that
we deem necessary, herewith desire
to make our report and recommendations.
We desire first to thank his Honor,
the presiding Judge,'for the able assistance
and the learned charge which
he has given us; the same having assisted
us greatly in performing our
duties and instructing us,as a grand
jury just entering into our work, in
the duties that are before us for the
present year. We desire to say that
the able manner in which his charge
was delivered has made us feel more
than ever the responsibility that
rests upon us as grand jurors of
Williamsburg county,and that we. as
a body and as individuals, will strive
at all times during our term of office
to enforce the law and to look
after the other interests of the county
that come before us as citizens
and grand jurors.
We desire to thank the Solicitor
for the courtesies that he has extended
to us, and for the assistance
that he has given this body during
this session, the same having aided
us greatly in performing our duties
in an orderly and correct manner.
1. We have had seventeen (17) indictments
presented to us by the Solicitor,
all of which we have passed
upon.
2. We have examined the county
jail and find same is kept in a proper
and sanitary condition, all prisoners
confined therein being well cared
for. We would recommend, however,
that the fence around the jail be
repaired, as same is in a rather dilapidated
condition at present.
3. We would recommend that the
magistrates and rural policemen of
the county bring in their books at
the summer term of this court for
examination by the grand jury.
4. We would recommend further
that two (2) additional rural policemen
be appointed?one for the Trie
section and one for the Hebron section
of the county. The reason for
this recommendation is that we realize
the importance of the enforcement
of the law, and especially the
prohibition law, and we believe that
the number of rural policemen that
we now have isinadequateto enforce
? *
tne law properiy.
5. The grand jury has appointed
the followingcommittees from among
its number: A committee to examine
the books of tbe officers of the county
in the court house; a committee
to look after the chaingang, public
roads and bridges of the county and
a committee to inquire into and report
upon the school conditions of
the county. All of these committees
are to make proper investigations
and report their findings at the summer
term of this court.
All of which is respectfully submitted.
W D Bryan,
Foreman of Grand Jury of Williamsburg
county.

Cougbs sod Colds are Dangerous.
Few of us realize the danger of
coughs and colds. We consider them
common and harmless ailments. However
statistics tell us that every third
person dies of a lung ailment. Dangerous
bronchial and lung diseases
follow a neglected cold. As your
body struggles against cold germs,
no better aid can be had than Dr
King's New Discovery. Its merit
has been tested by old and young.
In use over 45 years. Get a bottle
today. Avoid the risk of serious
lung ailments. Druggists.
The Republican State convention
will be held in Columbia on March
7. Delegates to the National Republican
convention, in Chicago, will
be chosen at that time and others
matters of interest to the Republicans
will be transacted. Whether
or not the Republicans will put out
a State ticket will probably be decided
by the convention.
If you want to know the truth
about a man, ask any one but the
man himself.

Lylis, the precious little daughter
, of Mr. and Mrs Philip H Stoll died
quite unexpectedly about? 1 o'.clock
i this morning. The little child was
seven weeks old yesterday and was
thought to Ik? doing nicely up to the
time she was taken suddenly ill last
night. The deepest sympathy of
the people of this community goes
out to the bereaved parents and two
little 'brothers, whose home has
again l>een entered by the angel of
f death and deprived of one of its
1 greatest joys. Funeral service and
interment will take place this after|
noon.

How to Prevent Croup.
When the child is subject to attacks
of croup, see to it that he eats
' a light evening meal, sis an overloaded
stomach may bring on an
attack,also watch for the first symptom?lioarseness,
and give Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy as soon as
the child becomes hoarse. Obtainable
everywhere.
