New York, May 29.-All of the ex-

of-town or foreign connections, We're
closed for business, there was little do

- Richard Croker, the Tammany
boss, is in favor of expansion and
colonial government, without the con-
sent of the governed. 1t must not
be forgotten, however, that Croker
failed to stand by the Democratic
platform in the last election; that he
is a goldbug, and also "boss" who
believes that our own people should
be bossed. 1t is not surprising that
such a man should be an Imperialist
but we do not believe that the great
mass of the free liberty-loving Amer
lean people are made of this kind OF
material.

BETTER ROADS.

Elsewhere in this issue is published
a synopsis of an important bill that
will likely receive consideration at the
hands of the general assembly during
its present session. We refer to the
bill providing for the creation of the
office of state engineer and surveyor,
etc., and prescribing the duties thereof.
We have read the bill carefully, and
although we are not prepared to say
that it is the best that can be done in
the direction indicated, still we are
favorably impressed with its provis-
ions, and we are satisfied that some
thing should be done along the line
indicated.
If we were called upon to point out
the most important and valuable en-
terprise, public or private, that has
been undertaken in this county within
the past dozen years, we would unhes-
itatingly ignore all the cotton and 9th,
er manufacturing establishments that
have been erected, and pronounce in
favor of the different efforts in the
direction of road improvement in the
vicinity of Yorkville and Rock Hill.
The benefits that have accrued to
the country surrounding the two towns
mentioned, and the towns themselves,
are difficult to estimate. We are sure
that the benefts-fnancial and other
wise-to the town of Yorkville on
account of the Charlotte road improve
ments, have been very great, and we
are sure also that the people living out
on that road have, in proportion to the
distance they live from the improved
section, been benefited as much as has
the town of Yorkville.
But none of this work has been done
on just and equitable basis. Private
individuals have contributed of their
own means for benefits that were just
as great to others who did not contri-
butte, as to themselves. The biggest
part of the available ordinary fund OF
the whole county has been spent in
the improvements mentioned and this
is also unjust.
What is wanted is fair and equit-
able system by which permanent roads
can be built. This means taxation and
lots of it but the returns will surely
be worth all they cost.

ABOUT COUNTY COURTS.

At the request of THE ENQUIRER
Major James F. Hart, who has given q
great deal of study to the subject, and
whose experience along the lines dis
cussed is about as ripe as that of any
lawyer in the state, has prepared q
short article on the county court ques.
ton. The article is as follows:
Just after the state had emerged
from the Civil war, with her whole
Negro population converted from
slaves to citizens, the question of the
new government was as serious as had
ever confronted people. The re-
sources of the people were exhausted,
treasury empty, property almost val.
ueless, and the former slave popula-
ton, invested by the Fourteenth
amendment to the U. S. constitution
with citizenship, must be tried in the
same courts, and under the same laws
ss other citizens were.
Under these conditions, the first
material question was the organization
of the courts upon sound and econ
omical system. AS slave, the Negro
had been tried for crimes before courts
of magistrates and freeholders, as all
our people now are for the lesser
crimes. Now whites and Negroes
must be judged in the same forum. If
all crimes and misdemeanors were to
be tried in the expensive court of
sessions, the impoverished state could
not bear the expense. TO increase the
Jurisdiction of courts of magistrates
and freeholders, 80 that less expensive
modes of trial might be conducted, the
wisest of our Legislators believed would
be unsafe. TO entrust the administra.
ton of laws involving rights of liberty
and property to men possessing no
knowledge of law nor experience in
it's administration, was not advisable.
At the first session of the legislature
in 1865, commission, composed of the
ablest jurists Of the state, was created
to devise new judicial system, adapt
ed to the circumstances. The result
was, in part, bill reported, to orga.
nize district courts. In 1866, the gen.
eral assembly enacted this bill into
law. These courts were held quarterly
in each district and disposed of Il
large proportion of the criminal and
civil business. The salaries of the
Judges, in most of the districts, was
$500, and the juries were composed of
six men. This system gave salisfac'
ton, and continued in force until the
Radicals came into power in 1868 and
overturned it, substituting the present
expensive system of eight circuits,
with three circuit court sessions in
each county in the year, and 81 jurors

WELL SAID.
Craftsmanship Much More Important just

Statesmanship Much More Important just
Now Than Seamanship.
Columbia State.
Referring to Henry Watterson's alb
surd nomination of Dewey and Lee as
the Democratic national ticket for 1901
on blank platform, the Florence
Times says: "Hero worship has gone
quite far enough for people whose
ways of thinking are essentially plain
and practical. We heard plain man
say that courage was a very cheap
thing among Confederate soldiers.
And American herolsm is very cheap
thing so far as the supply is concerned !;
and this we say with reverence anu
with no desire to underrate the value
and magnifcence of Dewey's victory
or of Lees services" Our contempo'
rary is right. Brave men are not so
rare that we have to nominate them
for our highest offices to encourage
courage. And while Dewey will do
admirably well as emperor of the
Pacific without any platform, our
100000 people will want for their
president a man who represents clti.
zenship rather than seamanship, and
has land policy for peace rather than
a naval policy for war.

- The work of collecting in York
county, the information as to the
graves of Confederate soldiers, in
accordance with the request of Gen
eral Moorman, will probably devolve
either upon the local camps of U. c.
", or the Confederate Memorial asso'
Citations. Local organizations, we be-
lieve, have complete lists of all the
Confederate dead buried in the larger
cemeteries. We are sure that such is
the case in Yorkville, Rock Hill, Ebe'
nezer and Fort Mill. If the necessary
information with regard to the Other
cemeteries is not already in hand, it is
to be hoped that no timewill be LOST
in its collection.
