A Drowning Near Columbia,

Alonzo Fuller, young white man
Of Columbia, was drowned Last We'd
nesday afternoon in Cayce's pond,
Lexington county, under somewhat
peculiar circumstances. 4. %l.~
A party of i've or six were fishing
in the pond. among them being John
and Lee Medlin. Alonzo Fuller and
his father, Othello Fuller, and a
negro. According to the story, John
Medlin was sitting ON tho bank next
to Alonzo Fuller, who "got bite"
Medlin moved over closer and put
his hook at the same place Fuller
had his. Fuller cursed Medlin, u.s.
ing tho vilest kind of epithets and
Medlin picked up q clod or tuft OF
grass to strike. .......
Hero is where the stories disagree
Medlin says he raised his hand as if
to hit Fuller, when the latter, not
being over courageous, jumped into
the pond to avoid getting into o
fight. He waded oat beyond his
depth, and either couldn't swim OF
being frightened, lost his senses. AT
any rate, he began to sink, and Med
lin says he rushed in to save him, il
possible. Fuller: however, went
down before Medlin could get to
him and never appeared again.
Othello Fuller, the father of the
drowned boy, says that Medlin de-
liberately struck his son on the
head, pushed. him into the water
and that he never came up again.
Medlin surrendered to the sheriff
and was lodged in Jail.

business and Sentiment

No one who has given the. subject
CLOSE thought could doubt the moral
and sentimental value Of good roads.
The successful maintenance of
schools and churches, and the spread
ing Of their good influences is directly
dependent upon the character of the
highways. The social life of the
country is quiokened or suppressed
as the roads become good or bad.
The youth of the country leave tho
farms mainly, for the reason that the
social advantages are SO often sadly
hedged about by impossible mud
roads. Isolation, ignorance and
crime is the universally accepted
course of things. But, alas senti-
ment is something that is difficult to
deal with in statistical way. The
business side of the road question
appeals to all. il.
The following from the Bay City
(Mioh.) Tribune tells the story-the
old, old story:
"a farmer from Saginaw county
brought in load of grain recently
to be- ground. Although living much
nearer Saginaw than this city, he
stated It waa impossible for MIN to
draw load of grain to Saginaw on
account of the condition of the roads.
He came into the city without any
trouble on Bay county's stone roads,
and he is positive that the failure Of
Saginaw to get sugar factory was
due to the poor condition of the
roads in that county. While in the
CITY this farmer made arrangements
to rent twenty acres Of land West
of this CITY for Sc per acre, and he
will grow ten acres of beets and ten
acres Of ohicory. He will rent his
farm near Saginaw for 50 an acre,
there being difference of Sd per
acre in the relative values of the two
farms on account of good roads and
q market for products in Bay county.
The same conditions are to be found
in thousands of localities, and the
people are beginning to ask if there
is never to be any advancement
along tho lines of road making and
bookkeeping"

The jury was composed of white

People at Night Causes Lynohlng.

LEEsnuRa, GA, April 27.--This
morning o negro, supposed to be
Mitchell Daniel, Jr., was found dead
in the road about nine miles from
here. His body was riddled by bull
lets from weapons in tho hands Of
unknown parties. ..a..,.
The tragedy occurred about three
o'clock, and negro, who came here
for the coroner, reports that he heard
the shots. w.. '.,... .....'. -,
The death of Mitchell Daniel
seems to have been the result of a
flagrant outrage in which he was
supposed to have participated. This
was no doubt aggravated by recent
infammatory utterances by Daniel,
charging the Laramores and others
with being implicated in the lynch
ing that occurred here in February.
1t will be recalled that three
negroes tried to force an entrance
into Mrs. Will Laramore's room, but
her screams brought help nnd the
parties ran away. Dogs were put
on their track and trailed them
home. One of the guilty parties
was supposed to have been Mitchell
Daniel, Jr.
Recently two armed negroes tried
to enter Tobe Laramore's house at
night and were run off with o shot
gun. 1t is supposed here that
Mitchell Daniel, Jr., is the man
killed this morning.

10. Teach Rode Construction.

"a reform, the imp portance of which
is steadily impressing itself more and
moro upon the public mind, lis the
demand for prplic roads. The bioy-
cles has been q great factor in pro-
duoing this public sentiment. The
man who ridesa wheel comes very
quickly to notice and to appreciate
the difference between good and
bad roads. After perspiring and
jolting over q bad road, and COM
pairing the labor expended with what
would have been required to pedal
the same distance over a good road,
he begins to realize that the same
difference is felt by the horse, and
that good roads would grately faoili-
tate travel and Tighten the burden
of hauling. a bicycle rider is in
variably q champion of good roads.
Gunton's magazine calls attention
to the fact that Columbia University
has taken step in the right direc-
tion by establishing department.
in praotical road-making in connec-
tion with the engineering and me-
chanical work of the university. 1t
says
scientific road-making mas reached
apoint of such Importance, especially
here in the cast, that the necessity of
adequately testing the road materials
available in different localities has
suggested the establishments of de-
partments devoted to this purpose in
connection with educational institu-
tions. Harvard, however, is the
only othnr university 80 far that does
work of this sort. 1t is understood
that students taking the engineering
course at Columbia will hereafter
have an opportunity to receive in
struction in practical road making,
which is line of eduoution that has
not heretofore been offered. Credit
is due, by the way, to the efforts that
have been made by the organized
wheelmen of the country in promo
ting the cause of good roads. 1t is
said that the establishment of this
department. at Columbia was frat
suggested and urged by the League
of American Wheelmen." .
If it be important to have good
roads, it is plain that it is important
to know how to construct them, and
it is practical and VALUABLE knowl-
edge that will be impaired by this
branch Of instruction. The public
is learning that it is not only i.npor-
tant TO know how to build a road,
but that it is wise to make it as far
as practicable a permanent improve
ment. Roads are being made with
view to their durability, and the
economical lesson is being learned
that it is better to 60 to more ex-
pense and build good road than
continually to be working bad one.
Build a good road and keep it good
is economy in the long run.
