If all o religious organizations could get to er and make a fight oa the corrupt immoral whiskey maohioe sostaine the State it would have to go. At the meetiog of the County 1 . Com missioners yesterday oppos was developed to the proposed road across Black River. Two tions asking that the road be i - were presented by a committee froo Business Lsague, one of which signed by nearly every oitizeo resi( 00 the eastern side of Black River, other was signed by the business and other citizens of this city. Mr C McFaddin, who lives OD the wes side of Biaek River and whose i the proposed road would cross, present and stated that he and otl living in the same neighborhood ? opposed to having the road opeo . He asked the board to slow in the matter and asl those of the commissioners who favo the road to make a personal inspect of the swamp before committing the selves. The board appointed a cc mit tee to make a thorough io ves ti. lion, and gave the committee author to employ a surveyor to locate the b lice for the proposed road, and ms so estimate of lae cost of buildiog ( causeway aod bridges in t swamp The County Board bas act wisely tn the matter aod when the co mitr.ee shall make its report, whi shcuid not be later thao the nest reg lar meeting of the board, it will be a position to take immediate action < the petitions of the citizens who ask f this oew road It will undoubtedly i a matter of some difficulty and oonsi erable expense to build and maintain road across Black River ac toe poi indio^teu in the petitions, but the dif culties are not insurmountable, nor c? the cns: be ezoessive io comparison wit the rea*, value the completed road wi be to th3 people living ii ?he lowi Salem and Shiloh secioos If tl committee shall ?od, &< d the surveyt ghsli report that the route is impraot cabie and the cost so great as to be pr< bibi ti ve. theo the people who need better aod shorter route so greatly wi be Sigfried to abandon tte hope for short rou:e ; but if the committee sba fiad and the surveyor shall repo: that the road oan be built at reasf.'oaolc expense, theo it should b built at once The read will be c little beoeSt to the land owners an other residents oo the western side c B'ac* Uiver ; the proposed road woul cot shorten the distaooe to Sumter fo tbeai materially, therefore it is quit Daterai and quite to be expected from ; se^b and persooai interest poiot c view for tbetn to oppose the road. Tb' road wi!; cut through their timbe; larjd^ evsa if not fields are crossed will opeo their swamp cuttle ranges ti public rave? and w;ll mak<.; a pab!i? thoroughfare rros which they can de rive neither benefit nor convenience Tn thia matter, as io ail matters o public policy, thc wishes cf the fer, cannot bc permitted to blook the way o progress ace improvement, e=peoially v?hen the wishes and interests and welfare cf the vast majority of citizens demand that the improvement be made. So it is with respect to this road, thc many need it and demand it, and the opposition cf the few, dictated by per? sonal interest, must give way if the physical and natural obstacles are found to be not too great. The fact, stated by Mc McFaddin before the board, that, ibero bas been a cr ac tbo poiot at which ic is pr to build this road, 6ince pre-Rsvo ary days and that uotil the great a few years ago, it was possible tc the swamp OD horseback, ford i the streams, by following this pat take to indicate that there is a o orcseiog of co great difficulty a poiot, and, that a trail has beet opeo all these years is proof that is and has always been great need public road across the swamp there. We,and the people to whoi new road means the saving of tixti twenty miles ever? time they g return from their couoty seat, with impatient ioterest the repo the committee, and we trust it wi of a character to warrant thc imme begioniog of work on the new higl that has been needed for more th i j centory.

A new row has suddenly devele in this state, the parties to which Senator Tillman, E. P. MCK?S? manager of the Battery Park H at Asheville, and Messrs Garling of the Spartanburg Herald, Gonzales, of The Columbia State. It appears that when a forestry park convention was arranged for the Asheville board of trade McKissick sent out about forty vitations to prominent persons, e ing them to attend and be his gui at the hotel. One of these wem Senator Tillman, who appears to b understood it to be a general inv tion to visit hotel. He replied s ing he could not attend the conv tion but would probably visit McKissick and accept his hospital at some later time Mr Gonzales pr< ded at the convention and read to ti body the Senator's letter along w others. There was much laughter the senator's expense and Garlington made numerous comm* on the incident in the Spartanbu Herald. Senator Tillman saw this a wrote Mr McKissick a letter whi is said to be furiously abusn Those who have seen it say there ii pleasant allusion to Messis Garliu ton and Gonzales as "low dot whelps' and that Mr McKissick accused of furnishing a private lett to the public. Mr. McKissick prints a card which he explains the circumstanc and says the senator's letter w handed over to the convention to 1 read along with the other deciinatioi of public meu without any purpo? to annoy him A man who came here from Spa tanburg yesterday said Editor Ga lington wa3 eugaged in the construe tioo of a personal letter to th senator likely to lift him out of h boots, being thoroughly exasperate by the allusions to M r. Gonzales an himself contained in the senator1 letter to Mr McKissick. Mr Gai lington, over the telephone lae night, said he would not give th public the letter he had writte Senator Tillman or Senator Tillman' letter to Mr McKissick unless circum stances should cause a demand fo publication of "all the papers in th case/'-Greenville News. - 11 II- - The Best Plaster.

The potatoes eeem to be rottiog fast I; they were planted in new ground they would not rot any, or very little. This has been one of ihe finest falls for gathering, we have bad in many years.

"Why Bless Her, Let Her Go." Sometime ago I fell in love, With pretty Mary Jace, And I did bops that by and by Sbe'd love me back again. Alas! my hof.es a dawning light, Were a'l at ooce made dim ; She saw a chap, I don't know where And fell in love wah him. Next time I went (now bow it was ? don't pretend to say) Bot when my chair moved.up to hers Why hers wouid move away. Before, I always got a kies, (I own witb 3ome small fuss) But now forsooth,, for iove nor fun, Tis non-come-at-a-buss ! Well, tbere we sat, and wben we spoke Our conversation dwelt On everything beneath the sun, Except what mest we felt. Eojoyiog ibis delighttul mood, Who, then should just step in, But be of all the world whom I Had rather see than him. And he could sit dowo by ber side And she could til thc while He pressed ber band within bis own Upon bim sweetly smile And she could pluck a rose for him So fresh, and bright, aud red, And gave ene one whicn boord before Was snruuk, aaa pale and dead. And she could freely, gladly sing, Tbe so-g be did request ; Tbe ones I asked, were just tbe ones Sbe always did detes;. I rose to leave. Sbe'd be glad. To have me loo2er stay ; No doubt of it ; No doubt taey wept To see me go away. I sat me dowD, I thought profound, Tbis maxim wise 1 drew : Tis easier far to bke a ^irl, Tbao make a girl like rou. But after all, I don't believe My heart will oreak with woe ; If sbe's a mind to love ' that chap" Why, oless ner, iet ber go ! -John F. DeLorme in Darlington Flag, 1851.
