DON'T GIVE UP THE BOOKS.
That is the Expiring Cry OF tho Cit,
Assessors.

There will be a clash and a noisy one
at that when the newly created board
of revision and appeals attempts to
exercise it's supervisory and dictatorial
power over the board Of assessors. This
new board virtually takes all power
away from the assessors and makes
of them mere servants This IL a bit
ter pill for the assessors to swallow, but
they don't intend to gulp 1t down with
out struggle.
According to the provisions Of the
new law the board of revision and ap-
peals shall have possession of the as
SCISSORS books, and shall have the power
to raise or lower an assessment, and
what Is most Objectionable of all, they
have the power to order a new assess
ment if in their opinion the assessors
have not judged well and true. This
will leave the board of assessors with
less than three months work to do
each year, and besides will obliterate
any Importance that may at present be
attached to the Office.
The assessors will fight the law. II.
d. Jones, one of the assessors, stated
yesterday that he and his colleagues,
Charles YooS and Rudolph Buenzli,
have considered the matter carefully
and have come to the conclusion that
tHey are tHe proper CuStOuldnS OF l1e
books, and do not intend to give them
up. Court he said. would probably be
called upon to settle the matter.
The board of revision and appeals
will organize tomorrow morning at 10
o'clock, in the council rooms. by selec-
ton of a chairman. City Clerk Lavelle,
by the provisions of the law, is secre-
tary Of the board. Councils is em-
powered to fix his compensa tion, but so
far has neglected to do so. The head
quarters of the board will probably be
in the city clerks Office The fun is
liable to commence Friday morning If
the board attemptsto to remove last years
assessment books from the assessors
office to the city clerks Office. The
test may take the form of injunction
proceedings.
The assessors clerk, George Heusner,
will, it is likely, be left uninstructed,
and when the demand Is made for the
books he will answer the demand by
informing them that he has no author
ity to allow the assessment books to
leave the office. Then the board of
revision and appeals can take what
ever method of procedure they see fit
to secure them.

SEWER CAUSED A CAVE.lN.
Tons Of Earth Fall Into Pit Which Mcr
Had lust Deserted.

The sewer extending alongside Of the
excavation for the new board of trade
building broke yesterday. and by wash
Ing away a large quantity of earth
caused the bank of the cellar to cave-in.
The accident occurred a few minutes
after the men who had been at work in
a pit at that point quit for dinner.
The pit was filed with dirt and had
the cave-in occurred while the men were
at work they would have been buried
alive.
The contractor, d. s. Williams, will
ask the city to settle for the damage
caused by the accident. The sewer pipe
was found to be of poor quality and
in badly dilapidated condition.

Lady Henry Somerset says, N a
recent number of the North Amer
lean Review:
"Women have q greater role
than fighting. They are the foun-
tain of the race, at which it re-
cruits its losses, perpetuates its
hopes, and conserves the results of
victories already gained. If ser
vice to the nation is to count as Il
chief article of faith of the voter,
the service-aye, aud the danger
Gus service-that woman renders
every nation is far greater than
the occasional facing of Maxim
gun or the remote contingency OF
bursting shell. There is hardly
a woman who is not called to
come face to face with death, who
does not go down into the great
Gethsemane of suffering, and with
the dew of eternity upon her brow,
give to the world it's sons and
daughters. 1t is woman's fight
for the race, the fight in which she
too often gives her life. 1t is a
greater service to bear soldiers
than to bear arms"

The Road Question.

And now, Mr.. Editor, we want
to know what our County Board OF
Commissioners are going TO do
with the Road question? An all
important question as every one
readily admits, and further as
serts that the Roads throughout
the length and breadth of Edge
field are a disgrace to our people,
and reproach TO those whose du-
ty it is to look after the better
ment of our so-called highways.
We Lave all able Board of Com
missioners, and we have right 10
expect a vast improvement III onr
roads during the year 1895. Come,
gentlemen, start the good work at
once, and faint not, falter not, un-
til you have placed our thoroug b.
fares in a more creditable condl-
ton than they are now. 1t is to
your interest, and it is to every
body's interest that we have good
roa,:s. The -lmericae Farmer: on
this subject. says: Heavy as are
the taxes in some sections, devour-
ing as mortgage interest may be,
vet bad roads cost the farmers
more every year than all the in
terest combined"
Therefore, Mr.. County Supervi-
sor Whittle, and ye County Board
of Commissioners, we put you or
notice that the people will expect
much from you Oh the Good Road
Question during your term OF Of
fee. Do your duty, and you will
have the hearty well-done and
plaudits of

Georgia Roads.

w. A. Hill supervisor of New
berry county, at the request of the
county board, went over in Rich
mond county, Georgia, recently,
to see how they manage affairs on
that side of the river. He says
they have there ';the best roads in
the South" Cne road, especially,
he speaks of and says, "this road
is naturally clawfish and pipe
clay soil out with the use of GER
tain kind of gravel put on the
road bed about six inches thick,
it is impervious to water and as
smooth as an asphalt pavement.
Not only this road, but every road
leading into Augusta on the Geor-
gia side, for miles is filled up with
this same material and cannot be
excelled." Of the poor house Mr..
Hill reports "the farm is worked
exclusively by convict labor and
raised last year 1000 bushels of
corn, 10000 lbs. pea vine hay,
1000 blshcls oats, besides pease
potatoes, &c. They have hogs, and
supply the poor house, asylum,
reformatory and so on with bread
stuffs."
1t might be a wise thing for
Supervisor Whittle, of,this county,
to cross the river himself and see
how roads are made good in Geor-
gia.
