OUR PUBLIC HIGHWAYS.
THE COST OF THE PRESENT SYSTEM
OF ROADS IN SOUTH CAROLINA.
Senator Butler Gives some Interesting Facts
About the Enormous Cost Of Supporting
the Roads Of The State, and Points out
Somel Of the Causes from which the
People Suffer.
News and Courier.

EDeEF1ELD, July 23.-The popu-
lation of South Carolina is, in
round numbers, about one million,
or was by the Census of 1880. In
the ratio of five to one this would
give us 100000 voters. Now the
question is, are there as many per-
sons liable to road duty as there
are voters? The road age is from
16 to so. The voting age is from
21, upwards. Will the class from
16 to 21, equal the class from
so upwards ? I should answer
in the affirmative, or very near
ly so, and if so, the number of
voters and road-workers must be
very nearly equal. But we must
deduct all persons exempt from
road duty under the law. They
will, perhaps. number one hundred
in each county or $500. We will
put the number of "exempts" at
1000. We must deduct all per-
sons of the road age, in cities and
towns. These we can get with reas-
enable accuracy from the census
of 1880, and amounted then to
about 100000, and / shall base my
estimates on the status of that year.
In the same ratio of five to one,
this would give US 26,000 voters in
the cities and towns, and if my
comparison is correct the same
number Of road workers with the
1000 "exempts" we shall have 3d.
900 to deduct from the 100000,
leaving 10000 liable to road duty.
Let US put it at 100000. These
100000 men are required by law to
work on the pubic roads mot less
than three nor more than twelve
days" in each year. If they work
the maximum number Of days, and
their services should be valued at
one dollar per day-and that is
the price fixed by the law-makers-
we shall have 10000 multiplied by
twelve. amounting to S1,8O0,000 for
one year. Suppose they average
six days annually, the cost would
100000. If dollar day is too
much, then the law is wrong. Esti-
mate it at fifty cents day and for
the twelve days the value Of the
labor would be 100000 and for
six days $4,000.
But it may be said, doubtless
will be said, this is not sound ar.
gument or fair calculation as to the
annual cost of public roads; that
the people do this work when they
can, perhaps, do nothing else, and is
a contribution in kind to the public
service and, therefore, does not cost
the amounts specified. l only
adopt the measure of value estab'
lished by the people themselves
through their representatives The
labor is worth that much, and in
contemplation of law is expended
upon the highways, and, if so ex-
pended, is taken out of the pro-
ductive power of the people Of the
State, and is therefore, lost to other
channels. I have seen the time
when road hands summoned out OF
the fields were worth dollar day
to the crops, and 1 insist it is le-
gitimate estimate in calculating the
cost of maintaining the highways.
If not bestowed upon the roads this
labor would or should be utilized
elsewhere so as to be worth dollar
day to the industries of the State

boy has but one cuff. If the door
swings he looks around; if the

Badman sitting away back under

of the inhibited fne-cut. All things

watcher sees. He sees so much he
has no time to listen.
THE TIME-KEEPER.
AS you pronounce your text, you
see the time-keeper take out his
watch, look at it carefully and
close it with a snap that says:
"Gor clear to the pulpit. You
know that he has you down to a
second, and that he keeps faith
full record Of the length of every
sermon you preach, usually adding
FIVE or ten minutes to the record,
"to allow for a difference in
watches" During the sermon he
refers to that watch every few min
utes or oftener. And when yon
have been preaching, say, twenty
FIVE minutes. the time-keeper looks
at his watch and starts. Can he
believe his eyes? He looks at the
watch; then he gazes at you. Then
he looks around at the clock on the
gallery to be assured that his watch
hasn't been stopped ever since last
Sunday. Then he makes q move
ment to close the watch and return
it to his pocket, but changes his
mind, looks at it again, smiles a
despairing smile, and holds his
hand up a little so that his neigh
Dor can see what time it is. Then,
with a long, fixed look at you, he
clicks his watch shut and slowly
returns it to his pocket with the
expression of q man whose amaze
men has struck him dumb, and who
cannot actually believe the evi-
dence of his own senses. If the
time-keeper cannot ruin the closing
five minutes of your sermon you are
proof against annoyance.
THE SQUEAKER.
He comes in late. His pew is
the furthest from the door. His
boots are vocal monsters that are
never worn save on the Sabbath
day to keep it noisy. Down the
long aisle he walks, squee-squaw,
squee-squsw. When he reaches his
pew there are strangers in it. He
lis the soul of hospitality, and he
wouldn't disturb one Of them foI

he has notice for you to read, and
back he squeaks to the pulpit

solemnly squawks back to the pull

Southern California has now become
so much of mineral country that tools
and machinery Of iron and steel are null
tiplying every day. Our foundriss and
machine shops are busy all the time, and
need all the modern Improvements to
turn out the work that is demanded for
the progress of the country. One OF the
important discoveries OF the day which
our iron workers need to understand lie
the best method OF joining pieces of iron,
brass or copper without the use of
soldering iron. The new process is OF
great importance to the industries of this
city, and is conducted in the following
manner: Tho parts to be joined are
made to fit correctly by filing or the
lathe. The surfaces to be soldered are
then mostened with the hux or solder
ing fluid, and smooth piece of tinfoil
or heet-solder laid between them. The
pieces are then tightly pressed together
and bound with wire, and the joint is
heated over the fire or a spirit.lamp until
the solder melts and cements the parts
together In this way two pieces of
brass can be joined so as to show little
or no joint. When several pieces have
to be separately soldered, different sol
ders can be used so us not to melt at the
same temperature. One solder, for ex-
ample, can be made of , parts of lead,
of tin, 9 of bismuth; and another, melt
ing at different temperature, OF 4 parts
of lead, of tin, and of bismuth. In
soldering brass, copper or iron, hard
solder of equal parts of brass and silver
may be used. A silver coin beat out
thin makes very good solder for iron,
conner or brass. The best Aux for hard
soldering is borax; and that for soft sol.
dering may be made by saturating equal
parts of water and hydrochloric acid
Esprit of salt with scrap.zinc. By this
process much labor is saved aud better
quality of work is done. This plan was
discovered in Germany and is just what
is needed in Los Angeles.

hume, and being suddenly detected
they fell all over the woikmen. The
water was fairly bristling with trout and
suckers, and they came in irregular
numbers, about six inches long, and
alive. Nearly u ton of the fish fell un.
der the fume, and the workmen took
them away in baskets. A ton of fish in
half an hour is about the best score on
record for Nevada. 1t is believed that
they were crowded into the supply pond

driven into the dune in punches of say
two or three dozen in bunch. They
would strike the defiector and fly in all

Mortgage on Growing crops.


The Supreme Court has just decided
the case OF Sunol vs.. Molloy, which has
been running through the Courts for
several years. By verbal contract be-
tween plaintiff and one Witt, the latter
agreed to sow ia grain tract of land
which the plaintiff leased to him for
farming season and to harvest the crop
raised thereon, have it threshed, sacked
and hauled at his own expense to q GER
tain place, and deliver it there to the
plaintiff, who was to divide II according
to the terms OF the contract. After
Witt had planted the crop, he mortgaged
ii to the defendant Molloy, and left the
leased premises, Molloy entered into
possession, under his mortgage, and har-
vested the crop, but kept it all, and re-
fused to deliver any portion Of it to
plaintiff. The Supreme Court holds
Molloy had no right to the whole crop.
As mortgage in possession he succeeded
to the contract Of his mortgager with
the plaintiff, and was bound by its
terms The only interest which he ac-
quired in the crop was the interest Of
the mortgagor under the contract. That
was an undivided interest in common
with the plaintiff; he and the plaintiff
were therefore tenants in common Of the
crop, and when he repudiated the rela.
tionship and refused to del yer to plain
tiff her share Of the crop he was guilty
OF a conversion and liable for the value
of the plaintiff 5 share in the crop.
