Senator Butler has completed his
series of articles Oh the Road question.
The gist of the whole matter is, that he
suggests the levy Of a capitation tax of
one dollar on each person liable to road
duty, and the organization in each Coun-
ty of paid working force under a SAL
aried supervisor. The great difficulty
in this plan, it seems to us, will be the
collection Of this extra head tax. Many
would pay it, while others would get of
or run the State to expense for its COL
lection. Besides this, it is said that this
extra tax would be in conflict with the
Constitution. which declares that the
poll tax shall not exceed one dollar and
shall be devoted to educational purposes.
Might not Senator Buffers idea be car
ried out with the present system so
modified rs to make the payment of the
tax either in money or work optional.
but requiring the law to be carried out
strictly to the letter under heavy pen

Tax LuXuricS not NcCcSSnriCS.

In our opinion the Virginia Demo-
Gratis have made a great mistake in de-
claring squarely for the abolition of the
whole internal revenue system, if it
means, as it must, the removal of the
tax on whiskey, beer. tobacco. cigars
and such luxurics. We believe that it
is Just and fair to raise money for the
support Of government by taxing luXu-
cries, and not the ncccssarics Of life that
the moor man must have. We know
that the object of the Virginia Demo-
Gratis is to do away with the nuisanccs
of the internal. or rather Internal, sys-
tenn. But it must bc done III better
way than BY the inlliction of such al in
Justice as this. Money has to be raised
Tor government. If you dou't raise it by
taxing luxuries, YOU will have to raise it
by taxing necessaries. We are opposed
to doing this any more than is absolutely
necessary. Let those who are most
able, and who haye most at stake, pay
most into the public treasury. People
who can afford to smoke fine cigars and
drink whiskey are able to pay the tax,
and ought not to mind doing it,

ChnrIeston's f,eIttcnnial.

Monday was Cliarlcstcn's Centennial
Day. and twas celebrated in style in
every way becoming the grand old City
by the Sea-" The day was ushered in
with the familiar chimes of st. Michael's
bells pealing forth upon the morning air
in sweet and delightful music. Every
train brought visitors from the country,
and soon the streets presented a scene of
unusual life and gayety with new and
joyous faces, and bright and attractive
bunting floating from the windows on all
the important streets. at S o'clock IN
the afternoon the exercises commenced
at; the City Hall. Here portraits and
relics of antiquity connected with the
history of the city were on exhibition.
Among the portraits was one Of Hon.
Richard Hutson, the first Intendant of
Charles Town. which was furnished for
the occasion by a citizen of Orangeburg
in whose family it has been preserved
for over hundred years. The Centen-
nial poem composed by Paul II. Hayne
was beautiful and well sustained the re-
putation Of the sweet Southern poet.
Mayor Courtenay then closed with full
and able grafton, giving an interesting
history of the old city. Gov. Thomp-
SON, Lieutenant-G Governor Shepard, and
many other prominent men, were pre-
sent. In the evening. the crowd enjoy
ed the most magnificent display Of fire.
works ever witnessed in the city. The
day was one long to be remembered and
we'll worthy of the celebration that was
given. Charleston has passed through,
many eventful scenes in the past CEN
tury. We only hope that a glorious
furture is in store for her.

the demand of the age for woman peculiar

diseased conditions Of the womb, and pro-
poses to so control the Menstrual Function
as to regulate all the arrangements and ir-
regularities of Woman's
MONTHLY SICKNESS.
Its proprietor claims for it no other medi-
cal property. and to doubt the fact that this
medicine does positively possess such con-
trolling and regulating powers is simply to
discredit the voluntary testimony of thous-
ands of living witnesses who are to-day ex-
ulting in their restoration to sound health
and happiness.
BRADfFIELD'S FEMALE REGULATOR
is strictly vegetable compound, and is the
product Of medical science and practical cx-
perience directed towards the benefit Of
SUFFERING WOMANl
It is the studied prescription Of learned
physician whose speciality was WOMAN, and
whose fame became enviable and boundless
because Of his wonderful success in the
treatment and cure of female complaints.
The Regulator is the Grandest Remedy
known, and richly deserves its name:
WOMAN'S BEST FRIEND,
Because it controls class of functions the
various arrangements Of which cause more

County Conventions.

The Newberry Observer says: ''It
would be good idea, we think, for the
farmers in every County in the State 10
hold county conventions for the purpose
of discussing the public road laws. with
a view to devising some better plan for
securing good roads. They have more
practical knowledge oHthe subject than
any other class Of citizens, because it is
matter that comes directly under their
observation and experience. There will
no doubt be some legislation on this sub.
iect at the next session Of the General
Assembly; and conventions Of this kind
would go far towards shaping such legis-
lation intelligently.t Now, while far
mers have comparative leisure, would be
a good time to hold such conventions"

&c A II roads lead to Rome" quoth an Old
N Latin orator, and every road was
thronged with travellers to the Eternal City,
full of zeal and perseverance, for Which the
old Romans were famed. Pilgrimages in
those days were no doubt as beneficial as in
our own modern times, and travel is, as it
always has been, an admirable remedy for
over-fastidiousness and prejudices. One
who never leaves his own country is invari-
ably full of prejudices, which visits to other
lands remove and give character and lib
erality to our knowledge.
Pilgrimages in shopping are also beneficial.
Sedentariness is as hurtful as disease, and
those who stay at home ard continually

of the history of the shopping world, which

to social and political equality with the

suit of. the Democratic liliLnsterinS was
the failure of the measure. The South
had still left to her the opportunity of

complislled in 1876. -
Z The Northern Democrat who thus
came to the rescue Of the South il this
most critical hour was Samuel j. Ran
dali, the merchant representative of

present, the Southern people, who do
not forget their friends of their hour Of
need, have felt an attachment for the
heroic patriot and Statesman. whom
some of the newspaper politicians are
vainly trying TO slanlcr and traducc. BY
accusing Of sentiments lie never express
