The Road Law

Mr.. Editor: Several Of the road over
secs have been to me wanting to know
the road law, as to the time in which
the public roads are to be worked.
take this means of telling all those
whom it may concern by reference to
the Acts OF the Legislature of 1899
section 1, page s, it will bc seen that
the law requires four days work TO be
put upon the public Dads Of Ncwberry
County during the yea, at such times
as the Supervisor may direct; ard
further, by reference to the acts Of the
Legislature Of 1898, page I}I, that sec
ton - is SO amended as to fix the com
mutation tax in Ncwbcrry County at
one dollar, and in reference to New,
berry County one dollar has been all
that has been required sincc 1897. The
Act fixing the number of days in the
several counties was Approved March

IT seems that at Marion G.. r.. the
county scat Of one Of the great cotton
counties OF the State, cotton is selling
below the prices Of ncighhrring mar
llcta. ThcrcupOn the Columbia State
makes this sound suggestion;
"lf the business men Of Marion will
90 to work and build couple Of cotton
mills they VIII soon find their "rcmc-
dy." Let them establish {, local de-
mand and they will be no longer at
the mercy of an exporter in another
State"
"And it follows. 'as the night the
day, every man interested in cotton
is interested in building up Il home
market. Build another cotton mill at
l.aurcnS. Every shoulder to the wheel.
-l.aurcnS Advertiser.
And why not build that other mill at
Ncwbcrry. 1t has been talked about
for long time. In fact if tho energy
spent in words had been put in build
ing, the mill would be running now.
We need another mill There is money
enough in Ncwbcrry to build it. Let
some man With business capacity bc Sc
lcrtCd and put in charge Of it and then
the mill can be built, for the money
will be Forthcoming. "k.vcry shoulder
to the wheel" is needed in any enter
prise to make it Il success.

not? We have four roller mills in this
county and all OF them make good flour
and we know they do not udultcratc it,.
We should be glad to sec them run

built them will keep them going if the

Remnants of Old Reliefa that Still Exc

Several years ago the inmates Of q
small, respectable dwelling house in
Philadelphia discovered upon the
whitewashed wall of one of the rooms
the likeness Of Il human face. which
faded and returned again. The neigh.
bors came in to view the wonder. 9th.
er faces appeared and vanished.
Crowds tllronged the house and street,
and accounts of the mystery were
printed in the daily papers.
1t was to no purpose that scientific
men insisted that the figures were
caused by moldy growths which came
and went with the dampness, and that
the likeness to the human lace was
Imaginary. The house was pronounced
by the public to be haunted, and the
owner was unable to find Il tenant foI
IL for years.
About the same time another v
terry ANT to light in one of the noun
tain counties of Pennsylvania, and
commanded public attention. 1t was o
pane of glass in the window of a farm
house, i'll which appeared the face of a
woman looking out.
She could be seen only by n person
standing outside at a certain angle. AT
arst it was declared to be the ghost of
n former owner, but when the public
took hold of the matter it was decided
that each spectator saw q different
ghost, that of the dead friend for whom
lie cared most. Many visitors made
p~ilgrimages to inspect this defective
pane of glass.
Nor is 1t only the ignorant who are
moved by these cheap mysteries. One
of the most stately mansions in Berke-
ley Square. in London, stood vacant for
a long time because 1t was said to be
haunted by ghosts. who appeared one
mt Il time, night after night, in an attic
window. with IL single candle burning
-dimly beside them.
1t was explained that the house had
been left in the care of II crazy butler.

the mansion could find no tenant, even

A Matter of wapes.

The efforts which importers of choco-
late are now making to get a lower
appraiscment on imported chocolate
recalls the report which was made to
the Ways and Means Committee in
1891, when the provisions of the Ding
ley law We're being considered. 1t was
stated in that report that "in the
United States in our (the chocolatc)
industry men are paid for ten hours
work from $40 to $40 per week; women
are paid for ten hours work from Sc
to SD per week. In Europe, in the
largest factories, their rates for men
for twelve hours work are from 81 to
IS per week and for women for twelve
hours work from $3.50 to So per week"
1t will be seen from these figures that
wages in this country are from $50 to
400 per cent. higher than wages in
Europe. The slightest investigation
will show. Furthermore. that what is
true in respect to the wages OF the en-
ployes in chocolate manufactures is
true, in n greater or lesser degree, of
workers in all branches of industry.
In the face of such facts arguments
in favor of a protective tariff would
seem to be supertiuous. and conscien-
tious efforts to collect the rightful s
toms duties should he appreciated by
every American workman as we'll as
by every American manufacturer.

swors on ~ Dead BIRD.

The various forms of oath-takinr.
even in this country, are of considerable
interest and would certainly form a
fascinating chapter in connection
with the peculiarities of legal lore. 1t
would not, however, be easy to find
an instance in which anything like SO
queer a medium of attestation was en-
ployed rs IL guillotined black cockatoo.
But no less an extra ordinary medium
than that was what the police of a
country district in New South Wales
had to provide the other day for a
finical Chinaman, who declined to
swear on anything else. Headless
fowls were brought, but in vain, and.
as the matter was important, even a
black swan, a luxury surely for u Chi
nese witness. was suggested, only to ba
Immediately refused.
After some time had elapsed and
when the representatives of the law
seemed quite ut their wits end, a dead
cockatoo of the required hue was
strangely discovered in a hut of one
of the other celestials. who mulctcd the
anxious officials in $3.50 for the bird.
Then the solemn and peculiar oath was
duly administered, on which the diff
cult witness with q bland and childlike
expression declared he knew nothing
about the case, and sat down smiling!
