of tho presidential timber ut the party's

Several of our contemporaries, how
ever, have asked rs where there is to be
found u southern man big enough, broad
enough, strong enough to meet the ex-

We have been challenged to do this,
and we accept the challenge by asking
whether any fault is to be found with
James b. Eustis, our present ambassador
to France. We should like somo one to
tell us In what respect james b. Eustis
OF Louisiana falls short of the most ex-
acting requirement.
Mr.. Eustis has been in public life for

SOUTH cARoLlNA's ROAD LAWS.

Salaried Supervisors In Each COunty-Con.
 vIcts Win He Employed.
 Heretofore the management of county affairs in South Carolina has been vest ed in board of three county commis- sioners elected by the people. These gentlemen looked after roads, bridges, etc, the county poorhouses and all such matters. They employed overseers in each neighborhood to have the roads worked, the labor of course being fur nished by the citizens under the law re. Quiring each to give so many days to keeping the roads in repair or else pay O communication tax. Under this system road working has been a travesty. At certain seasons enough dirt would be shoveled into the holes and ruts to fill them up and make travel possible, if uncomfortable, but absolutely no per manent improvement resulted. The roads arc no better today than they were when Sherman marched over them in 1865 or Tarleton's troops % years before. The new law abolishes the boards of county commissioners and provides one supervisor elected biennially in each county at salary averaging $500 In addition to him, tho governor appoints to serve during his administration three commissioners for each township. These commissioners have jurisdiction in the assessment and equalization of property. Their Chairmen, acting together with the county supervisor, form q county board of commissioners, who are to meet quarterly. It is their province to divide the counties into road districts and to let to bonded contractors, who shall bind themselves to work tho roads | in their territory and keep the bridges in repair-iu other words, to have the road work done by responsible parties | instead of by public overseerS. Resi. dents who prefer to work the six days required by law rather than pay the communication tax of $2 will be reported by the supervisor to the contractor of their respective districts and will be re- | quired to work under his superintend- ence. The contractor for each day $ work done by a citizen is to allow the county 50 cents-that is to say, 50 cents will be deducted from the sum due by the county to the contractor, The com mutation fees paid in lieu of work done by citizens are to be set aside as a special road fund.
 This contract system, however. is op, tional, aad the supervisor and board of commissioners for each county may con tinuo the old method of appointing road overseers if they prefer. In addition tC this, the new law provides a chain gang for work on tho public roads under the supervisor orders. All convicts sen fenced to terms of imprisonment al hard labor for less than two years art to be employed on the roads instead ot being sent to tho penitentiary.- .-Atlants Constitution.
