ohatbam countv,s Great Need.

/ There is no subject of more real interest
/ to the people of this country than that OF
/ good roads, and no question is receiving
/ more attention at this time. In Chatham
/ county the subject is well nigh thread
/ bare; still, it is Of as much Importance as
/ if it were new. Probably every grand
! jury Of this county for quarter of a
century has had its say upon the matter
and with more or less effect, temporarily.
The work actually done on the roads,
however, while costing in the aggregate
thousands upon thousands of dollars, has
not been permanent. Indeed, il could not
be, because of the impossibility of build
ing permanent road beds under the system
heretofore and now in operation.
To provide permanent and good high
ways comprehensive plan Of improve
ments must be adopted; plan that looks
beyond the necessities of to-day to the
wants of years to come. All the
public roads of the county should be
rebuilt with a view to macadamizing, or
in some other way hardening them, and
modern methods and appliances should be
employed in their construction. An out
lay of s., 900 or $4,000 in a railroad equip
ment for hauling material, and steam
apparatus for rolling roadbeds, would in
the end be found economical In five
years, with such an outfit, an amount of
road building could be done that would
have required a centurys time under the
old system and then would not have been
well done
If the Louisville, Augusta, Ogeechee,
Waters and other roads in the county were
properly rebuilt and hardened the entire
county from the Wilmington river to the
bingham county line, and from the Sa-
vannah river to the Ogeechee, would soon
be garden spot. Under a proper and
general plan of improvement, with me-
chanical appliances, sucn a showing could
be made, with the convict labor and the
$4,000 and more now yearly appropriated
for good roads and bridges, that those
who live on and are familiar with the
present poor roads, would hardly know
their way home if they happened to be
absent during the making of the improve
meuts.

An Inside Horse to Beat.

There is still considerable speculation
as to why the governor appointed Mr.
Walsh, protection democrat senator
The latest explanation is that the COVER
nor favors Speaker Crisp for the long
term, and that Mr.. Walsh's appointment
will help the speaker to get the place. If
this explanation has any, foundation, not
only the governor, but all those who aspire
to the office of senator for the long term,
may experience a "tired feeling" when
the time for electing senator comes. It
is not at all improbable that Mr..
Walsh himself will be a can
didate, If he should he would,
in all probability, show a good deal
of strength. There is much hostility felt
by the protection and populist demo-
Gratis of the state to those democrats who
stand by the national platform and Mr..
Cleveland. They would feel much salts
faction in electing a protection democrat
to the Senate.

There is likelihood of division in the
American Theosophical Society At the
annual convention of the society at San
Francisco this week some of the delegates
wanted to know how it was that all of the
mahatmas were domiciled in India, and
why there were no native American ma
hatmas. The leaders of the fad. who are
supposed to be under Indian influence,
could not find satisfactory explanation
of the mystery, and the kicking patriotic
delegates intimated that they were them
selves willing, for convenience, to be re-
Earded as perfect men and fitting medi-
ums for the transmission of theosophical
philosophy. In this matter we are with the
kickers Let US have American mahatmas
by all means. The native supply must be
sufficient for the native demand. No
foreign mahatmas! No Hindoo domino
ton!

An Anecdote of Ex-Gov. Throckmor-
ton,


Gov. Throckmorton who died in McKin-
ney, Tex, last week, possessed the happy
faculty of being a Die to tell amusing anec-
dotes in the most captivating and diverting
manner, and when it was the custom of the
bar of Northern Texas to follow the court
around in its circuits he was the life and soul
of the whole party says the Philadelphia
Ledger. The judge and jury the bar and eli
ents, and all the witnesses in the cases to be
tried, would assembly nightly and listen to
his intmitable telling of his most apt and
amusing tales During the civil war he was
appointed commissioner by the confederate
government to negotiate a treaty with the
LIanket or wild Indians OF the southwest,
and never tired OF describing that Incl
dent He was called by the Indians

worn leather jacket the first time
he had ever had any business with them.
many years before this time, and they all
knew and had great respect for him, and il
was for this reason that he was given this
mission. The Indians all assembled, at his
request, at a point near where Fort Elliott
was afterward located, as it was the dividing
line between the country claimed by the In
dams of the north, and the Indians of Texas.
The Indians regarded him so highly that all
he had to do to secure their consent to the
treaty was to pledge his word that it was fair
ana right, and they agreed to it. Then came
the tormality of the leading men signing it.
OF course, its terms had to be explained by
the interpreter, aud one of its provisions re.
lated to the COmauches, and required them to
remain on the north side Red river. At that
time the Indians depended for subsistence on
the immense herds of buffalo that went north
in the summer, and returned south in
the winte They did not stop long
en- route, until they reached the
extreme southern part Of Iexas. i mis- proVi-
sion OF the treaty would only give the Conan
ches few weeks in which to secure their
winter S supply OF meat When the ceremony
of signing had progressed until it came time
for the Comanches to afix their names, one
OF the old chiefs turned to Throckmorton,
who was witnessing the signatures, and
asked. in the most innocent but natural way
if the buffalo were included in this treaty,
and would have to stop their so Ithward
march when they reached Red river, for, If
they were not he could not sign it, much as
he would like to oblige Leather coat for it

the whole negotiation, Before any new ar
rangement could be effected a messenger ar
rived, bringing the news of Gen. Lees sur.

Two Impossible Candidates.

From the PHILADELPHIA Record DEM,
A Washington dispatch names Messrs. Ali
SON OF Iowa, and Reed, of Maine as the two
most eminent republican aspirants for the
reepuuiitan presidential nomination. But the
fly in Mr.. Allison's prospective ointment is
the tact that he has been thirty years in
congress and, despite his tendency 10 non

yellow shoes would shake the land with
laughter. No; neither Reed nor Allison

New York Herald correspondent
noUes the singular coincidence that the
man who set fire to the wreck of the old
kearsarge on Roncador reef was Semmes
Bodden, who was named for the COM
mander of the Alabama. The Alabama
was in Caribbean waters about the time
young Bodden was born, and his parents,
admiring the ability and fame of Admiral
Semmes, gave their child his name.
Hence, it was Semmes that assisted the
Kearsarge to her notoriety and a Semmes
that destroyed her.

Another government scandal is on, and
is being investigated by Secretary of the
Navy Herbert. A man named Oliver c.
Coon wrote the secretary from McKees-
port, Pa, giving certain information
which, if true, implies shocking state of
rottenness running through twogreat man
ufacturing concerns that are contractors
for the government. Coon says the Stirling
Bros. firm, at McKeesport, that is making
projectiles for the navy department, has
been defrauding the government for eigh-
teen months or more, and working in
cahoots with the Carnegie company to
make the government accept poor armor
plates. The Strings make the projec-
tiles that are used at the Indian Head
proving grounds. Coon says the Stir
lings would sometimes send on balls that
were brittle, and would fly all to pieces
upon impact and thus apparently show
wonderful strength in the armor. On
the other hand, when it suited their
purpose, the Strings would furnish pro-
jectlles that would pierce the plates and
show weakness in the armor. He says on
one occasion, when there was supposed
to be misunderstanding between the
Carnegie Steel Company and the projec
tile firm, Stirling said to him: 'Iu blow
their armorplates to h if they do not fix
us" The informer says, further that he
has reason to believe there has been tam
periug with the powder as well as with
the plates and projectiles. Secretary Her
bert has been for two weeks or such a
matter looking into his story. What he
has found in it is not yet known. Coon
was formerly an employee in the Carnegie
mills at Homestead, but lost his place
through his aggressive connection with
the Amalgamated Association just prior
to the great strike of 1892 He is the
owner of considerable property, and was
a captain in the Pennsylvania national
guards.

Inside Tariff Facts.

A cotton firm in this city received a
letter few days ago from a manufac-
turer of cotton ties, offering ties at a
greatly reduced rate. In the letter the
statement was made that the manufac-
turer could now make ties at less cost
than they are made in England and that
the duty on ties was a matter of no con
sequence, since the manufacturer could
underseN the English manufacturers, even
if the duty was entirely removed.
This statement is no doubt true. Why
then is it that cotton tie manufacturers
are against the Wilson bill, and insist
upon being protected9 Is it not because
they want to plumber the cotton planters?
If high duty should be placed on cotton
ties, the cotton tie manufacturers of this
country could form combination and
put up the price of ties to the extent
the duty would permit.
No doubt there are many other pro-
tected industries that would prosper with
out any protection whatever The pro
tectionists, however, insist that every
industry shall be protected, whether it
needs protection or not. There must be
great benefits from protection, or else the
manufacturers that can get along and be
prosperous without it would not demand
it,
This statement about the cotton tie
duty makes it pretty clear what it is that
| the Democratic party is fighting. 1t is a
system for plundering the people. Every
time the democrats have attempted to
take the duty off cotton ties there has
been an outcry from the protectionists,
and cotton tie manufacturers are among
! the opponents of the Wilson bill, and yet
the testimony of large cotton tie manu-
facturer is that he can beat the world
manufacturing ties, and that he doesn't
care anything about the duty. II is no.
ticeable, however, that his statement is
made privately, and not with the expecta-
tion that it will ever reach the ears of
congressman. Such statements ought to
| convince the people beyond a shadow of a
doubt that the tariff policy of the Demo
cratic party is right, and that the Wilson
| bill, instead of being a sectional measure,
as the republicans charge, is a bill for the
| good of the whole people
