What Good Roads Will Do,

Before all things the United States
is an agricultural country. 1t is the
possibility of large returns for labor
in this direction which keeps up the
price of labor in our manufactures
and in all our industries, and thus
brings comfort and ease within the
reach of all. Good roads, by lessen
ing the cost of agricultural products
form the most effectual means of
maintaining the condition of comfort
and even luxury of which America is
so proud.-H. w. Conn, department of
biology, Wesleyan university, Middle.

Card from Editor Jordan.

EDITOR BAMBERG HERALD:-ln the
last issue of your paper appeared loca
notice so vague and indefinite in meaning
as to convey a bad impression to the
minds of nv friends and acquaintance
in Bamberg, to wit: MIR. A. B. Jordan
editor of The Dillon Herald, has been
prosecuted for criminal libel. The suit
grew out of statements in his paper as to
bogus tax certificates used IN the ne"
county election" The facts are simply
as follows: Typewriter and printed tax
Certificates" were used in lieu OF bona
fide tax receipts to defeat the new county
last January. At the campaign meeting
here on August 90 Mr. w. E. Blue, candl-
date for c-election to the office of county
treasurer, stated on the stumpto an audi
cnce of 400 people the names OF the gentle
men who got the certificates from his
office and also accused them of acting in
bad faith. These facts, along with some
other evidence showing that questionable
methods were employed to defeat the new
county, were published in the Dillon
Herald, resulting in a suit against me Tor
'smalicious defamation of character" The
whole thing in nutshell is that the in
dictment is merely a ruse to destroy what
influence The Herald may exercise in es-
pousing the new county cause, and gives
me little concern personally. The facts
stated above are substantiated by the de-
tailed accounts of the circumstance which
recently appeared in the daily papers and
which doubtless you have seen.
Yours very truly, A. B. JORDAN.
