EDGEFIELD COUNTY AFFAIRS.
Waste of Public Money on Useless
Bridges and Fcrries---ParSiInOn Ony
in Furnishing the Public Offices
Justly Rebuked.

While the people OF Abbevilc county have
no reason to complain OF the eScellenL man.
agement Of our county finances, tseems that
Edgefield is not so well favored. The grand
Jury, in their presentment ut the recent Court
says: "
have made some very bad investme ents III the
matter OF roads, bridges and ferries. More
particularly do we find the ferry across Big
Stevens creek, at Shaw's mill, subject to our
disapprobation. The ferry boat we find to be
very insecure, and almost unfit for public use.
The amount paid for this ferry boat warrants
q better and more secure convenience to the
public.
"Comp!aint has been made us in reference to
the bridge at Winterseat. over Hard LABOR
creek and we find that said bridge was not
built according to bontract, and Is now re-
garded us unsafe.
1.-THE building OF two bridges across insig.
nificant streams near Strom's mill, we fnd
TO be entirely unnecessary and a useless eX.
penditure OF public funds, more especially so
as no bridges have been built where the same
were absolutely necessary in the same vlcln-
ty. The bridge across Big stevens creek, at
stones mill, we find entirely unsafe, all
though the same is newly built and should be
in perfect condition.
1--WE find that the furniture and interior Of
our Court House is q disgrace to q county of
such dignity and resources as this. We
again urgently recommend that the sugges-
ttons reported by us at previous term OF
this Court, IN reference to reiurntShing our
Court House in manner worthy OF the noble
and distinguished people who own and oc-
upy it, be Impressed by your Honor upon our
County Commissioners"
While our County Commissioners have
done something in furnishing the interior
of the Court House at Abbevile, we presume
it was only scarcity of funds that prevented
still 81 eater improvement, and some improve
ment is still going on. The public offices of a
people should presenta neat and attractive
appearance, and the comfort OF the people,
who have business with the public officers
should be provided for.
People who come In winter to pay taxes,
make returns, attend the summons of Pro.
bate Judge and Master, or who may have
business in any of the Offices should have q
warm room in which to transact their bus
mess, and the furniture should be conven.
lent and comfortable for officers and people.
One notable improvement which Is now
going on in our Court House Is In the office
Of the Probate Judge. The cost Is small
comparatively and the improvement great,
Tor all of which q grateful public will thank
efficient and painstaking officers.

The g., &. a. n. Railroad.
Clinton Gazette.

Messrs. Holshouser e. Schiltz, Contractors,
are now grading the road through the city
limits. The line runs parallel with the Rich.
mond Il Danville, crossing the street (Broad)
leading from the old Laurcns railroad TO tht
Orphanage, at n point very near the Old
building formerly occupied by the family OF
Mr.. Bill Martin, and in which the Post Office
was then kept. The work is being rapidly
and nicely done: many panncls OF fence have
been torn away, and some valuable shade
trees felcd and removed root and branch, to
make way for the mighty plow-Share of the
grand trunk like. The dirt is all broken with
Il six horse pillow, and is then taken up and
conveyed To the proper place, by means OF
two horse shovcls, the latest and most per-
feet arrangement OF the kind ever before seen
