The General Assembly. ADJOURNMENT ALMOST IN SIGHT. Columbia, Feb. I.- Tbs House took ap the appropriation bi il The House seemed disposed te let the appropria* atoo bill stead as it bad been reported. The severest rap given duriog the morning session was directed against the State board of health. Uoexpeei ?d opposition to the board &nd its work was developed, and there was a decided under-current of opposition because the State board of health had sot itself taken hold of the alleged smallpox ?pi? d?mie, and said over its o wa signatures what was the nature of the natara of tee disease and sent some of its owo members to the places alleged lo bave ead the disease. A good deal was said ea the matter, and the sam total was that the House refused to increase the appropriation for tba board to $2,500, which it was said was necessary to carry on the work properly. It WQJ?W ' appear to be a dangerous matter to ?rifle With, and better to appropriate too moah thin too little for such work The House refuted to make the eos* J ternary appropriation for the Adjutant General's office, for the purpose of de? fraying tba expenses of making inspec? tions, thereby iodica?ng that it did not care very much whether the Adjutant General made inspections or not. There waa quite a lively fight as to whether toy portion of the dispensary food should be used to pay the expenses of ooe of the clerks io the State Treas? urer's office, whose time is largely de? voted to keeping die dispensary ac? counts. lt was finally decided to pay balf of the salary oat of the dispen? sary food, although it was contended that such was oot proper under the coa? st! totional limitations. The Senate, after a long session, killed the r?solution which looked to the holding of biennial sessions of the General Assembly. The Senate fixed February 16 as the date for final ad jsaroment. The House can easily do the same if it will, and the members eas go borne with something of a rec? ord, abd ea*y consciences that they have not spent more of the State's money than wvs necessary . The following bills were introduced that are of interest to Sumter oona ty. Mr, E D. Smith-To amend the law relating to sales of property coder Hen. ..' Mr. E. D Smith-To amend the county government act relating to roads. Mr. E D. Smith-To amend the county goveromeot law so far as it re? lates to Sumter county. Mr. E. D Smith-Joint resolution to refund to D E Keels, ex-treasurer cf Sanier c^un'y certain fonds. Wednesday the house devoted the greater part of its time to tbe discus? sion of the appropriation bill. A ^rxeat fight was precipitated by thc disposition ko cot tbe appropriation for the South Carolina college, which was accomplished The Winthrop appropriation passed unscratched The appropriation for toe state fair association was killed. There was quite a debate over payment of the Judge Mackey claim for $2,500 for legal services rendered the state io % securing the citadel from the United States authorities. The penitentiary appropriation was practically granted, although, as Mr Kinard stated, it is rumored that a check for $10.000, drawn by penitentiary, for the benefit of the state treasury as its proportion of proceeds from the sale of 1,000 balee of cotton, was standing unpaid and not likely to be paid. The supply bill waa introduced Thia bill provides for a 5 mill levy for 1 state purposes, conditioned upon the session lasting not longer tban next week The special order of the day, the appropriation bill, was called np by Mr Kinard shortly after the house % assembled Mr Simkins offered an amendment to section 1, article T, relating to the expense of holding inspections, etc by the adjutant general The ap? propriation bill as presented by tbe ways and means committee grants one hundred and fifty dollars for this purpose, Mr Simkins'amendment re? commended five baud red and twenty five dollar? for this purpose. A simi? lar amendment introduced by Mr. W. C. Davin Tuesday was voted down Mr S i mk: ns stated'that he was as ranch in favor of economy as any body, but if the office of adjutant and inspector general is to be main? tained, that office should be given Sufficient fonds to properly conduct the affairs of bis office, adequately aod yet economically Ooe of bis most important duties is inspection. The small som of $150 is inadequate Some are inclined to think the office unimportant I say it is important, lt is essential to tbe well being and dignity of tbe state that we have au efficient military department. The inspection of militia ie essential to its maintenance. If you do away with that feature, we m?y as well abolish tbe office If we allow no appropria? tion and tbe adjutant general is re? quired to make these inspections, shall he bear the expense himself. The motion to lay Mr. Simkias'e amendment on the table prevailed. Pr. Sturkie called op article 7 oi section 3, which appropriates, "one thousand dollars, if so much be ne? cessary" for carrying out the provis ions of the act establisbiog the state board of health. He introduced an amendment granting fifteen hundred dollars for this purpose This matter was thoroughly discussed Tuesday when Mr Winklers amendment was introduced. Dr. Sturkie had little to say in re gard to his amendment save that he thought it very necessary to properly equip the state board of* health with funds. Br. J. J. Smith stated that if the appropriation be reduced, one of the strongest and roost important boards in the state will be crippled. Mr. Sturkie's amendment prevailed and Mr Winkler offered the motion which clinched it. ; Section 5, subdivision 2 of the printing bill recommended the appro priation of $25,000 for the support of South Carolina College. Mr. Toole offered an amendment that the amount be changed to $23, 000. Mr Verner introduced an amend? ment to Mr. Toole's amendment, still further reducing the appropriation to $15,000. In defense of his amend? ment. Mr. Vernor stated that $25, 000 was an immense amount of mon? ey, and the ways and means commit? tee should inform the house if it would be a wise and judicious expen? diture Mr. Thomas on behalf of the com? mittee made excellent agument in favor of the original bill. When the matter of appropriation for the penitentiary came up, Mr. H. J. Kinard asked for information con? cerning a check for $10,000 said to be outstanding against the peniten? tiary. Mr. Ashley stated that Mr. Neal, the superintendent, was out of town, but would return to day, and the matter would be explained. De? bate on appropriation was temporarily postponed Mr. Caugbman moved to strike out tb? olause offering to appropriate $2. 500 for the olaim of Thomas J. Mackey This was discussed until adjournment of the morning session, and was re? sumed at the night session. The fol? lowing will give an idea of bow some of tbs members waste moo ey by uselsis talk after a matter has been folly.in? vestigated and its justice acknowledged. It is to be hoped that the case ts now closed and that Judge Mackey will get his money Mr. Cashman skated that this action would place the boose io a seri?os pre? dicament. Last session a commission was appointed to investigate the claim, their Jindiog being final. They return? ed a unanimous report that the olaim be paid. We cannot repudiate this, an honest debt. This is not a matter of politics, bat of jostioe. Mr., Winkler said the curtain was down oo the ease, the action of the committee was final, and we cannot repudiate the claim. Mr. Meares was opposed to .the man? ser cf settling the Mackey olaim. Does not mean to repudiate the olaim, bat it is not presented tn proper channels as prescribed by the Constitution This commi?sioo would not pass favorably upon au unjust olaim Bat they are not the proper parties to pass upon it. Upon being questioned, be stated that there were some things which looked fishy, but he bad oot had so opportunity to appear before the oomm?Kttioo. They adjudicated the matteif before be bad beard of their meeting. Mr. Skinner was a member of the committee on claims and later of the joint commission which considered the claim. This commission acted upon testimony submitted by such witnesses aa General Hampton and General H.igood, aod upon documentary evi? dence The geotieman from Fair? field does not tell yon of anything he knows which could change oar minds es to the justice of the report. Mr Canghmao's amendment to do away with this appropriation) was voted down almost unanimously. Mr Cash man pot toe clioober THE SENATE The moroiog session of the senate was a lengthy ono and fall of business Mr. Gaines' wide tire bill which seemed yesterday to have gained much strength, was amended to death, and after prolonged debate the enacting word?: were strioken oat. Mr Patton'a bill providing for grad? ing and paving of streets died in the ?enate, together with the bouse bill makiog seduction a crime Mr. Henderson's ooonry government bill again came np and elicited much debate CAROLINA CONTESTS.

[t is not tho intention of ibis piper tn coter into the details aod processes of field work io road location, bot merely to ootlins some of the general considerations which shoald be observed ia laying oat or improving a system of roads: Bot aa oor roads are already located aod bai 11. the practical ques? tion with 01 is rather one of classifica? tion tbao of Iooatioo. Tbers are, o' coarse, maoy places where a ohaegs of Iooatioo desirable and even oeees sary, bot moat of the roads will always remain where they are. Manifestly all the roads are not of equal import ance, or entitled to an equal share ot I improvemeot and maintenance. This is generally recognised, bat tbs dis? crimination is not always, by aoy meaos, io favor of those roadi which most deserve it ; that is those which are the only ootleti for the greatest trafilo. It is plaio that the public roads are bat a part of a general system of trans portatioo, embracing navigable water ooarses, railways aod wagons roads, each subdivided into several classes No part of the system oan be intelli? gently considered without reference to the whole. The ideal system is de? signed to reach every section of pro? ductive territory, aod to move its pro? ducts and supplies and people at the ?east possible cost, whither in construc? tion, operation, maintenance or discom? fort The importance of this fact is well understood by tbe financiers and engineers who build the railways ; and to the numerous problems as to Iooa? tioo. distance gradients and types of construction, it is applied with the ut? most oioety Those enterprises, io the planning of which, it bas been over? looked, have generally met with finan? cial failure, aod so, pub'ic roads built or main tai ned without regard to it, are ao unnecessary bordeo opon the people. Most of oar public roads were built before tbe days ef railways, aod of coarse independently of them, aod have beeo blindly accepted ever since, to the great loss of both tho people and the railways. Mr. W L. Treobolm, tn his admirable article oo ''Transportation" io the "Hand Book of Sooth Carolina/' says : "After the railroads were finish? ed, the highways built and maintained by so costly, and even oppressive sys? tem of personal road service, were of little ase as maio arteries for trade sod travel, bot the former cross-roads, con? necting the new-towns and the railroad stations with the country around them, became important thoroughfares. Ow ing to the peculiar topography of the ooontry, aod to the course of the rail? roads aioog the ridges, these old cross? roads were ill adapted to sach require? ments, while the road laws were not elastic eooagb to remedy the incon? venience by applying to them the means u?ed in boilding the former highways H'nce to this day some towns and many important railroad stations are almost inaccessible in bad weather. In planning a general system of road improvement it is necessary to have a map of the territory under consideration, showing all lines of transportation, tba market towns, county seats, schools, oharobes, aod aa far as possible poiots of production Some information should also be obtained as to the volume of business that might naturally be ex? pected, for oo this depends almost entirely the extent and kind of improve? ment to be made. The general direc? tions nf the traffic and the maximum length of haul should also be deter? mined Generally the distance and direction of market towns and railway stations, and the topography of the county would be the determining condi? tions ; bot io some instances politioal questions, sach as the locatioo of the coan ty seat, would need to be consider? ed. The roads should then be divided into at least three classes, as follows : 1st The roads, connecting market towns not already connected by railway; or running off from railway stations or towns ic such directions as to be tbe natural trunk lines of many branches, or which for any reason command a fix? ed amount of trafilo. 2nd. The roads, connecting these main Hoes, or branching, from them at such angles as to oommand a secondary 6xed vol?me of business. 3rd. Neighborhood roads, those par? alleling other lines of transportation, and any others not included in the first or second class. The amount to be expended either io improvements or maintenance should be apportioned strictly tn accordance with this classification. A maximum grade shoald be adopted for each class The European engineers have general? ly adopted for first class roads a rise of one foot io thirty on which a horse cao trot without diffi cutty either up or down. For maoy years to come a grade of one in twenty would meet our needs. A horse can draw his working level load up such a grade for a short distance without diffi? culty, and "it is generally practicable to keep within that limit even on steep hill-sides, by giving tbe line a zig zag direction, connecting the straight por? tions by easy curves " AU unneces? sary ascents should be carefully avoid? ed ; and this can generally be done by slight changes in location. Prof. Jenks in bis work : ' Road Legislation for tbe American States," says : "A striking instance of ?be need of some skilled help in laying oot a road is to be noted io Western New York Two villages. A & B, situated at some distance, had a difference of level of eight hundred feet. The old road laid out by "view ern" sn ran that in going from A to B a traveler ascended twelve hundred feet, .od io going from B to A, be most ascend four hundred feet An ?ngioeer Uid oat ? oew road aaking tbe accent io the road from A to B eight boodred feel; from B to A,-of eoarse, ootb iog " Every effort should aluo be made to reduce distance, where ii ean be dose without increasing grades, or ascents, or outtiug of! possible sources t traffic. And lastly, every pr?caution should be taken to plaoe the road bed on ground eapable of thorough drainage. If the roads of the State, or any County, were examined and classified on some such general principles as here outlined, at>d the work now being done, applied accordingly, a long step would be made io the direction of good road?. Every dollar expended would bs placed where it would do the most good, and all rational ground* for oppo? sition to road improvement would be removed. STUDYING TOBACCO. Secretary Wilson to Spend Time in This State. ' Washington, Feb. 2 -Secretary Wilsoo, of the agricultural department, will lea7e Washington in a week or ten days for a visit to the south, bis objective points being north and South Carolina Probably most of his time will be spent in tho latter state, where secre? tary Wilsoo wants to look personally into the question of the raising of high grade tobaeoo. He believes the Florida country capable of producing tobacco almost if not equal to that of the finest raised in Coba and Sumatra. If this opinion is borne out, it may result in the purchase and planting nader governmental supervision of foreign tobacco seed with a view to determining jost what may be accom? plished under careful cultivation.

BABY'S SMOOTH, FAIR SKIN A Grateful Mother Writes thia Letter Tells all about Her Troubles when Baby Broke out with Scrofula Sores. M At the age of two months, my baby began to hav<5 sores break out on his right cheek. We used all the external ap? plications that we could think or hear of, to no avail. The sores spread all over one side of his face. We consulted a physi? cian and tried his medicine, and in a week the sore was gone. But to my surprise in two weeks more another scrofulous look? ing sore appeared on baby's arm. It grew worse and w orse, and when he was three months old, I began giving him Hood's Sarsaparilla. I also took Hood's Sarsaparilla, and before the first bottle was finished, the sores "Aere welland have never returned. He is now four years old, but he has never had any sign of those scrofulous sores since he was cured by Hood's Sarsaparilla, for which I feel very grateful.
