Improvement of the Public Roads.

f. W. Baker. Esq:
MY DEAR SIR: ] write to commend your
editorial in The Egis of December IS, on
the subject of Estate Aid in Road Improve
ment." -As you say. 1t Is a matter of pri-
mary Importance that we should have good roads
throughout our comfy, and have the work done
through and from the State. The people of the
present generation should have the benefit of ma
cadamiZed roads. | have often thought. when in
reflective mood, and when toiling over the steep
hills and many rough places that after my death
these hills and rocky ways will be graded almost
to the grade of railroads, and every portion will
be made smooth Ii seems an outrage that and
my contemporaries should be compelled to endure
the present wretched roads when, with State aid,
they could so soon be improved, permanently, by
macadamizing all over fhe business parts Of the
county.
1t is true that about Darlington we have very
good roads, but at large cost TO few individuals.
Let the taxpayers bear their uniform proportion
all over the State, as they are to have the benefits
OF the Improvement
There are few old fogys everywhere. who. when
spoken to about better roads, will say that the
roads are good enough for them; and they would
not pay twenty-five cents year in taxes. If they
could help it, 70 make the roads any better.
am glad you have come out with such an able
editorial on the subject. You distinctls strike the
keynote. While a few tax-grumblers will complain
OF any increase OF taxes whatever, feel that
majority of our citizens will sustain you. Let us
have the benefit of the Improvement not waiting
until we have gone to THAT bourne fronwhence no
sir, ii will have its effect in awakening the refec-
tions of thinking and then the work will soon
be done. Very truly yours.

In Memory of Bessie T. Archer.

The sudden and uutimely death. after four
days il n 4sF, of Bessie T.. aged seven years. q
bright and promising little daughter OF Mr.. and
MIS- ID. T. Archer. has Swallowed quite gloom
throughout the entire community. But as ii
has pleased Almighty God in his all-wise provi-
dence to remove her from our midst whilst in
the vigor OF life, with promising future before
her she will not only be greatly missed by the
loved ones Of the bereaved family circle. to
whom we tender our most heartfelt sympathies,
but the sorrowful faces and fearful eyes of her
schoolmates as each received the sad news, told
of their great loss as well.
Departed child of early day,
Silent and cold we Ne thee now;
For deaths unerrng touch
Has set it's mystic seal upon thy brow.
Too sure. alas the message came.
That called thee from this world of care;
Unmindfu of tO-mnrruw's loss.
We little dreamed the foe was near.
Like autumn leaves in wintry blast,
We see our dear ones fall away.
Never again in joy or pain to meet
Through lfe's uncertain day.
But there's bissful hope beyond
When dearest ties on earth are rven,
Those who love and serve Him here
Shall meet again where crowns are given.
Then fare thee well: when we are called
To cross deaths dark and fearful river;
/ May we all meet on that blest shore,
Where pain and death can enter-never.
