An APPEAL TO VOTERS.

The cities Of Charleston, Columbia
Rock Hill, Georgetown and Florence
have issued an earnest appeal to the
voters throughou5 the State to vote
for the amendment to the Constitu-
ton, allowing them the privilege OF
voting upon the question of issuing
bonds for the purpose Of putting in
waterworkS and sewerage system, III
excess Of the s per cent limit allowed
by the Constitution. Some Of these
cities had already It bonded Indebted
ness far in excess Of the per cent,
when the clause was included inlhc
Constitution. This being the csSc,
wc Go not think it fair to force the
per cont. clause upon these towns,
as it viii be u hindrancc TO their pro-
gcess While we would not like to
see Union step beyond the per cent.
| limit, we thitk the matter under dis
cussion concerns the cities in Qucs-
ton alone, and il does not cause the
issuance Of one dollars Increase OF
bonds, but simply gives them the
privilege of doing So il they ful it
to be to their best Interest. \ pei
tion would have to be signed by 81
majority Of the fee holders asking
for an election, then the voters OF the
town would have to say so, before the
bond issue would take place in either
city, This being the case we cannot
see any objection to voting for the
| amendment allowing the privilege to
exceed the S per cent limit. We
take it for granted that the citiz ms
Of every town have sense enough TO
take care OF their interests. We fail
to see the boogaboo in this matter, If
one exists, as some seem TO think it

THE> WIDE TIRE.

Tie wide tire question has been
agitating the minds Of our people fog
Il year or more, and hot discussion
Of the subject filled the papers last
fall, We took the position in the
discussion that the wide tire WAS the
be It pceserver OF the public roads, as
well as easier pulling on the teams
there are many in this section who
disagree with US in this matter, anC
every one is entitled to his own opin-
ion. We have not yet changed our
ideas regarding the matter, and don't
think we shall.
We firmly believe that if the wide
tire was adopted, the people would
soon universally agree that they were
much better than the narrow tires in
every way.
The argument Of some is that the
wide tires would slip and slide on the
hill sides. This might be true. But
one Of the objects of the road work
crs should be to change the hillside
to level road, which, with the use
OF the wide tire would soon become
thoroughly packed instead of cut up
into unsighuy mud holes, that get
deeper and deeper with the passing
OF every loaded vehicle, until that
point in the road soon becomes inn
passablc and detour is made, when
possible, while the driver curses out
the County Supervisor and every ore
else who has anything TO do with
keeping the roads in order. We be-
lieve the wide will come, and that it
will be appreciated by all when its
use becomes general.
We clip the following from the Au-
gusta Chronicle on the subject which
COMEDIES with our view:
Experiments in recent years have
established that the wide tire on load
ed vehicles is not only better for the
preservation OF the roadway, but
Ii .hter for The horses. Every argu-
ment is in favor Of the wide tire, and
we know none against it.
Why, then, do not manufacturers
adopt it, and thus more rapidly make
it vogue without waiting for laws de-
manding their use? The ordinary
life OF wagon, dray or cart, is only
q few years, and if manufacturers
would put wide tires, not less than
four inches on the new ones that are
turned out, it would not take de-
cade to make the narrow, road.de-
stroying tire rare thing.
The narrow tire is one Of the most
destructive of the agencies that tend
to destroy well-paved street, or

TIE TRIUMPH OF MkISSICK.

Th' decision OF the General Possen-
ger Agents Association to meet in
ASheville next year may be regarded
as the triumph of McKissick.
The B)nifaca has always been q
IN ~ ofinpo"taGco. He forms thc can
nccting link between the distinguish
ci strange: and the nltiva, ard
through his aid national policies have
often been sh ped. 70 him the states
mon naturally turns for information,
and upon his report business ventures
have often been either withheld or
lnunchcd. With such man rs Nc
h'sSick in every city in the south the
local advantng"s would be 50 en-
polited that new England would be
emptiea OF her millmen,- and the
smokeStaci would caro- the place OF
coat-of-arms for this whole section.
The meeting OF the general pas>en-
ger agents in the center Of the south
will be great event. Wide-awake
alert, intelligent, and having the ear
or the business and manufacturing
world, the passenger agents will be-
come the great evangelists Of public
progress in the south. They can paint
McKissick to the whole union, but at
the same time they will tell OF the
untold natural wealth Of this section,
of the bounding opportunities for in
vestement, OF the friendiiness and
progressive spirit OF our people, and
OF all the claims which we have been
m liking for the past quarter Of a
century Constitution.
Maj. f. p. McKissick is one of
Unions beloved sons, who has for
several years been the popular mana.

RESULT OF ADVERTISING

The Augusta Herald of Oct. 22nd
contains notice Of incorporation for
the Harris Lithia Springs Company,
capital stock, $350,000. Mr.. Harris
has sold this property for SlO2, 800
in cash. This only goes 10 show
what can be done by rn... .Si.o is
possessed Of energy and business ca
pacity. Mr.. Harris bought the prop
erty nine years ago as ordinary farm
land. lie gave perhaps $4,000, and
now realizes more than Il hundred
thousand besides having made more
than S., 900 year while he was de-
velopiDg it.
We reproduce the above for the in
formation Of those who say they can
not see how it pays to advertise. 1t
Is worth the consideration Of all who
think thusly, and are too close.fSted
to put money in advertising. The
above is the direct result of adver-
tising, upon the part OF Mr.. Harris.
What do you suppose the property
would be worth today, if Mr.. Harris
had sat down and waited for business
to hunt him up and develop his prop
erty for him? 1t certainly pays to
advertise. And the more liberal the
advertising the better the results.
The TIMES is splendid advertising
medium.

Work to Begin Tuesday.

A. Mcpherson, state fruit inspector,
left for Boise OH this mornings boat He
says that the work of destroying scale
infected trees will be commenced Tues
day. The owners were given a fifteen
days notice and the time expires Mon
day night. On Tuesday the work will
begin. Most of the owners have signi-
fed their intention to cut out trees at
once. Those who fail TO observe the law
will be dealt with by the state authorities
who will at once proceed to cut out the
condemned trees.
Mr.. Mcpherson stated that he expected
to appoint, with the approval of the state
beard, fruit inspector for every shipping
point in the state, whose duty it would
be to inspect every pound of fruit offered
for shipment and stop the sale Of every
bit of infected fruits. He has succeeded
during this trip north of effecting strong
local organizations in all towns of the
fruit growing country and these will sup
port vigorously his plans for the extermi-
nation of pests and guarding against
further invasion.
