that the Prcsiden. has shown that he
possesses the courage OF his convic-
tions in discussing the important is
sues of tho campaign. The letter Goa
taino no dodges. 1t assumes the
responsibility tor what has been done,
and argues that the work OF the al.
ministration has been such ss to de
serve continuance in power Of the
party it represents. The arguments

view, are naturally not accepted by
the opponents of that party, although
no one questions the adroitoess with
which they are put.

JONESVILLE NEWS NOTES.
Gloomy Crop Prospects. Nine
Gents too Low For Cotton.

Jonesville, Sept. l0.-The dry, hot
weather is getting to be serious mat

Doth very sorry, and gardens are mis-
erab!o failures, while potatoes are
hanging as it were in the balances
waiting for rain to make them grow,
but the time with the potatoes will
soon be out, and the turnip seed that
came up after the shower a few days
ago have died, and the pea crop is
also a failure, so the outlook for good
times is very discouraging.

GOOD ROADS SOCIETY.

1t is very evident to those who have
an opportunity Of reading the papers
from the different counties of the
State, that Union county is not the
only county that finds this question
OF good roads one that is hard to
manage. There are q great many
things to take into consideration
when the question of what is the best
method or plan TO be adopted to Sc
cure good roads comes up. One Of
the most importa; among the many
is how to secure The funds necessary
to put the roads in good shape and
keep them So. L. strikes us that
this road question should be handled
in n systematic manner. 1t is,
without doubt, the most Important
question with which our people have
to contend;. good road; society for
this county might be great fact ~
in devising some systematic method
Of working the roads to the satisfac
tion Of all concerned. Chester couu-
ty has a good roads movement on
foot and it promises 4 great deal
more real good to the country at
large than all the politics within it's
borders. They have issued call for
a meeting of the Good Roads Society
of Chester County, for the 18th inst.
The Reporter says the object Of this
meeting is Ito discuss and agree up.
on some plan for the betterment Of
the roads and to submit the plan to
popular vote" The Greenvilie News
says:
"There is room for a good deal Of
discussion along the line OF good
roads-the best method, the cost,
etc-whether by general taxation or
by requiring certain amount Of
work whether civil engineer for
roads would be good idea; the cost
and advisability Of Macadamizing
and particularly whether it would
not be best to sell off the State farms
and concentrate the labor Of convicts,
both State and county, upon the
working Of the public roads. The
road question is an important one
none more so to the State-and it
would be good thing if every coun-
ty had good roads society, as Ches-
ter has, for discussing the question
and formulating wise plans"
We agree with the News, rs to the
Importance Of the subject, the wide
range for discussion and the import
ance Of the organization of good
roads societies; and We move that
UniOn County take up this matter,
and let meeting be called to bo
held at Union Court House at an
early date looking to the organization
Of good roads society.

Jour generals will give only one
order-namely, 'sAdvance.a said the
mighty Butler in his grandloquent
address to the British troops before
crossing the Tugela. And the troops,
whom Butler rightly called splendid
rushed a tall hill called Spion Kop in
fine style, but certain other generals
whom Butler had not thought of (be-
cause they were mere Beers, perhaps)
ordered the British to 'sRetreatn and
enforced the command by most per-
suasiye gunpowder argument. There
is no particular moral to this incident:

ipse dixit Of the commander on one
side.
