It is singular how the average way
faring man andzwoman regards the gold
problem. Only a few days ago met
man who is moderately well to do, and
Z who has come to the conclusion that the
country Is in very bad way and that
gold will soon be at very substantial
premium. Acting on this idea he has
been for some years accommodating and
boarding gold bills. Every time he has
received payment in currency he has
sorted 1t out carefully, preserving all
those bills payable IN gold and passing
away those,calliny for silver or not spec
flying any kind of coin. He had quite
large box full Of gold bills in his safe,
and he told me their aggregate value was
about 500, and that he had been collect
ing them for over eight years,

tanned in the way of interest and whats

tened courteously, but with an incred-
ulous smile, and it has occurred to me
that it. is more than possible that many
thousands of dollars, If not millions, arc

Big winnings on u Small, stake

A group Of men were standing in theS

ever been seen in the past.
Wise heads have already looked in
TO the distant future aud anticipated
the days of still greater things. As
an evidence of this stands now in all
Its grandeur and beauty their new
temple of justice. The court house,
recently completed ut a cost of SIS

lasting monument to the libcraiity
and pat,1iotism of the people of the
whole county. BY all odds it is the
finest court house in the Eighth Judi
cial Circuit, and it will not suffer by
comparison with any county court
house in South Carolina. No better
index to the intelligence, enterprise
and prosperity of q people can be had
than that furnished by their public
buildings. And just here Pickens
has set commendable example,
which should be followed BY her Sis
ter counties.
The public roads Of the county are
being greatly improved also. The
County Commissioners are giving
themselves to the task Of procuring
better locations and having the roads
graded. The onc idea which prevails
is, that the loads must be level, or as
nearly so as practicable. And it mat
tors not if it becomes Necessary to 90

orchard or fertile field to get the
proper location, why, through it goes.
The right of eminent domain is invok
cd, Smith is paid reasonable price
for his land, if it cannot be had with
out it, and the road is established
just where it ought to be. The per-
slStcnt prosecution Of this course is
bound to give Pickens the best pub
nc roads i'll the upper part Of the
State, unless there is an awakening
and shaking up of dry bones i'll other
counties, which may ere long catch
some of this inspiration from their
plucky little sister.
But it is no wonder this brave Doo

afraid Of difficulties. They can do and

Ihc Grccnvillc News is authority for thC
| statement that it is reported that Congress.
man latimcr comes to the front with O
''Drilliant suggestion for the equitable dis
tribution" of the post offices in this district.
The plan which he is reported to be in fa-
vor OF is that two postmastcrs, zone Con-
scrvativc and one Reform be appointed for
each office and thoy serve contcmporancous-
ly, exercise concurrent jurisdiction and d.
vide the scads."
In this "our" Congressman does not 20
far enough. In other words if he wants to
divide the Offices among the people without
regard to their politics he should have
recommended that one Democrat, one
Third Partyito and one Republican be ap-
pointed for each postofiiec in this district,
that each one serve four months in each
year and that they dcvide the spoils equal
ly.
If Congressman Latimcr wants 10 pro-
vide jobs for the conservatives and REFORM
crs alike we suggest to him to have Post
master General Bsscll to establish two of.
