CORRESPONDENCE
The Good Road Question.

Everywhere, Mr.. Editor-iu all
sections of the State-the people
are becoming much concerned in
regard to The improvement of our
highways. But in Edgetield there
seems to have been but little,
nothing in fact, done in that di-
recIion. True, on some roads some
spasmodic demonstrations have
been made in the way of so-called
working the roads," resulting in
a "scratch" here and a scratch"
or two there, but effecting no per-
manent or perceptible good. All
hands and all-rush-
ing over their respective roads in a
make-believe and vain pretence of
complying with the law, and ct
the same time simply trying to
evade the said law.
Mr.. Editor, this is all wroRg-
but until we, the people, become
individually and personally in.
5erested in the good road question;
and until our Road officials .1eei
that IL is their d"tyto discharge their
duty. and SEQ that the road law Is
complied nith, we cannot hope for
bettor roads.
Therefore, Mr.. Supervisor Whit
tie and ye County Board of Com
missionrrs, we want to know what
YOU are going to do towards the
brttcrment of our public thorough
fares? They are in a miserable
condition.
Lonk, up in Greenvjlie and
cpartanhu!g counties, and over IN
Nnwhprry county, their energetic
Road Commissioners bave procur-
I'd the best road machines and are
determined 10 have good roads =
and down in Aiken county they
have cpnvicts on their roads; aid
n many other counties the Coun-
lv Board of Commissioners are
waking up TO the grand impor-
iance of good, smooth, well-draln-
ed Roads. For they know, as the
Clarksburgh (Va.) Inquirer SO
we'll says, that Good roads have
wonderful effect. They increase
the value of farm lands, cheaper
the cost of transportation, enliveu
the hospitalities of the people, at,
tract travel and business, fill up
the school, house and churches
and advance civilization and re-
ligion." =.

Bimetalism is the coming issue
in national politics. This is the
general concensus from both dem
ocratic and republican sources.
On this issue speaker Crisp OF
Georgia thinks o western man with
a. wsr record should he nominated
for president-and speaker Crisp
is right. Some of our contempo-
raries have proposed a Southern
man for this high Office in 1886
but such proposition is supreme
folly. The supremes wish and
need of the southern people is fl
nancial relief and not simply tc
be allowed to furnish figure head
for the government.
AS to what the uext democratic
platform should contain, Speaker
Cxisp is. to the rn;'>ti~
"In the next campaign the re.
habitat1on of silver will be the
main and controlling issue upon
which Democracy will appeal tc
the people. Party platforms should
always be plain and direct. I dc
not believe in those planks which
are so written as to catch voters
going and coming. Parties should
be honest to the people. Whatever
room existed for different con-
structions of the platform Of 1882
should no longer exist and for this
purpose that to be adopted in
1896, should be so plain that even
a school boy could understand it."

THE PEOPLE,

Mr.. EDITOR: We hardly ever see
anything in your paper from this
section. We are all still on The
side of mercy, and in the land Of
the living.
Now is u busy time with The
farmers. Some of them are plant
ing q good deal of corn while some
are moving on with their cotton
planters, to raise 4 cents cotton tc
pay their debts with they, say. The
grain fields look somewhat desc.
olate at present. Here and there
you can see a little patch of wheat
that looks promising. The fruit
crop bids fair to be good this
time. Some people say we wont
have any blackberries this year.
We don't know why this is.
The turpentine business is get
ting popular around here. Nj.
Perry Barns has moved his still
from Mr.. Pick Denny's place over
to Mr.. II. S. Blacks place, and a
fellow by the name of Wallis has
recently located one on Mr.. z. M.
Blacks place.
The members of Richland Church
have chosen Mr.. J. A. Carson to
preach for them again. They have
made good selection, for Mr.. Car

Sunday a gentleman who has dis
himself as speaker at

A DisbeIicyer in Death.

Rev. J. Minot Savage, the emf
nent Unitarian minister of Boston
at q recent funeral, made use ot
the following language:
"Here, lying in this casket, is
all that the eye can see, all that
the hand can touch of our friend ;
but that which was he, that which
thought, felt, loved, hoped, that
which served his fellows, is not
here, and it is not going to be bu-
ried to-day" And he continued
in the same fine strain: II do not
believe in death I do not believe
that death came into the world as
a result of any incursion of evil
from outside. I believe it is a
part of the wise, loving, eternal
order. I believe tits only another
kind of birth; and, when we can
detach ourselves from certain ways
of looking at it, from certain sell
fish views, we shall be able to see
the divineness of death. Suppose
that, for all of US, life (earth life)
should be infinitely prolonged.
That would mean we should be
prisoners, shut in on this little
world, while Gods great universe
was all around us, speaking to us,
beckoning US, inviting us. I come
more and more to look upon death
as Gods divine angel as the gate
opener for us. He comes and
touches US, and then we become
citizens of the universe. Our
friend has simply graduated, and
gone out into larger field of study
and labor. ."-Philosophical Jour-
nal.
