team was as good as the other. The
wide-tired wagon, heavily loaded, was
hauled through and out of the bottoms
with but little difficulty; and it was
necessary to send back its team to help
the narrow.tired team out of the mud.
This incident and the practical ex-
perience of other intelligent men who
have since tested wide tires, have
made US strong believers in the i'm
provement. We have hoped that wide
tires would eventually be adopted
without compulsion. There are ten
such wagons in York county now
where there was one five years ago,
and their popularity is increasing.
But, of course, it will be many years,
in the natural order of things, before
they are unanimously adopted with
out compulsion, and the subject Ger
tainly appears to be fit one for legis-
lation.

THE WIDE TIRE BILL.

The Columbia State is doing all it
can to educate the hesitating members
of the house in the wisdom necessary
to enable them to vote for the Maui
din wide tire bill. In its issue OF
Thursday, The State prints several
interesting letters on the subject, and
among them is d very sensible one
from Mr.. ]. G.. Anderson, manager OF
the Rock Hill Buggy company. Mr..
Anderson says:
DEAR SIR noticed communica-
lion in today's State from Major G. S.
Spann in reference to broad-tired wag-
ons. Any wagon factory will furnish
either broad or narrow tires. They do
not need a especial department" in or
der to be able to do this. It's easy
enough and is being done every day.
As to the price, will say that the
extra charge is very little. A two
horse wagon, selling for S45 with u
inch tires, would cost $47 with 2 inch
tires, and ISL with 8 inch tires-and
80 on. The extra charge for wide tires
over the price of narrow ones is about
81 per inch.
Leaving the benefits of the roads en-
tirely out of the question, the extra
price paid for wide tires would be the
best investment farmer could make,
for it would increase the life of the
wheels anywhere from SO to 100 per
cent.
The broad tire bill should pass, and
will be if the best interests of the "plain
people" are properly looked after.
You can make such use of the above
information as you may desire.

WITHIN THE TOWN.

Cotton is selling at 1856 for the best.
The fuel consumed at the water
works amounts to about 81 cords OF
wood per month. In the summer, OF
course, it will be heavier.
A good buggy, belonging to Mr.. s.
A. McElwee, was smashed in a runa,
way accident last Wednesday after
noon. While attending to some busi'
ness out near the waterworks, Mr.
McElwee left his horse and buggy
standing near the roadside. The ami,
NAL became frightened, and running
eastward along West Liberty street,
smashed the buggy against an electric
light pole near the standpipe.
The election on the question OF
amending the charter of the town OF
Yorkvile so as to permit the levy OF
three mills tax for ordinary town pur-
poses, instead of two mills as hereto.
fore, was held on last Wednesday, pur-
suant to official announcement. There
was but slight opposition to the propo-
sition, and when there is reason to be-
lieve that all the voters are pretty
much of the same mind, great many
people failed to 60 to the polls. In all
So votes were cast, and of these only
three were against the proposed
change.
The distribution of the Is arc lights
with which, under the present plans
of the town council, it is proposed to
light the town, will be as follows: l..
Near old Narrow Gauge depot. 2.
Intersection of California and Con-
gress streets. 8. Centre of Cleveland

- As to whether the proposition tc
put such county officers as are no"
paid by fees on salary is wise one, is
doubtful. We have not seen the oil
and are not familiar with its provisions
1t is we'll to remember, however, that
under the present arrangement, the
compensation of county officers who
are paid by fees comes only from those
who are benefited by their services
For instance, if John Smith wants a
paper recorded by the clerk, or process
served by the sheriff, it is only right
and proper that be should pay the ex'
pense himself. We are unable to see
what right he has to call upon the
the public in matter that concerns
him alone. Of course, ifit is arranged
so that fees shull be collected, the
same as now, and paid into the county
treasury, the proposition cannot be es'
pecially Objectionable. But we sincere
ly hope that if salaries are substituted
for fees, these salaries will be liberal
Good salaries do not necessarily insure
the services of thoroughly efficient
men in elective offices; but efficiency
is certainly not to be attained with
small salaries. An inefficient man vii
never refuse fat Office; but at the
same time an efficient man will seldom
strive after lean Office.

Quite a problem that The Ledger
has submitted. The fact that the
thoughts still breathe is evidence that
their condition is not yet hopeless; but
unless those words are really intended
to burn, they should be doused in the
water. However, talk is cheap, and
maybe their burning will occasion no
serious loss.

THE WIDE TIRE BILL.

The wide tire bill recently passed
by the senate is attracting great deal
of attention throughout the State, and
as to whether it will pass the house is
very doubtful.
Among the reasons which will in
huence the members to a large extent
are fear of displeasure of constituents,
and uncertainty as to whether the
measure is really a practicable one.
On this last proposition there is a
great deal of honest confusion, very
similar TO that which existed among
the old philosophers who were 'unable
to accept Columbus's doctrine as to the
shape of the earth. The only way by
which this confusion can be eradl'
Gated is a practical test, and the ques-
tion is as to whether the members have
the courage to make that test. We
hardly think so.
We have heard wagoners arguing
the tire question time and again, and
it is wonderful philosophy which some
of them bring to bear. One man will
take the position that while the mar
row tire cuts up the roads, the substi'
tuition of broad tires increases the tric-
ton to such an extent as to require
additional power out of proportion to
that required for narrow tires. There
are those, too, who will claim that not
only is wide tired wagon heavier to
pull; but that it cuts up roads even
worse than broad tires. If two men
holding different theories on this propo'
sition have ever got together, We are
not aware of it.
We believe the passage of the
Mauldin bill would be good thing
for the roads, and we do not believe it
would inconvenience farmers beyond
making some of them buy better and
more substantial wagons than they
would otherwise prefer to buy. We
do not believe either that the heaViness
of draught would be increased, or that
the average expenditure for rolling
stock would be as heavy as it is now.
One of the first men to bring wide
tired wagon into this county, so far as
we know, was Mr.. Wade H. Hicklin, Of
Guthriesville. That, as We recollect,
was something like seven or eight
years ago, and we recollect printing
Mr.. Hicklin's experience at the time.
Among other things, he stated that he
had sent two wagons-onc with wide
tires, and the other with narrow tires
into the bottoms after corn. The bot
toms were rather soft on account OF
wet weather, and he expected to have
to do some double-teaming, especially
with the wide tired wagon, which was
the larger of the two. There were
two mules to each wagon and one

however, was killed on Thursday by a
vote of 81 7. During the discus
sion, Senator Ilderton, who supported
the bill, said that cotton factories have
become such powerful factors in poll.
tics, that no mill legislation can be
gotten through. The employment OF
children, be said, comes from greed,
and unless the bill is passed now, il
never will be passed.
