ROOSEVELT AND
SOUTH CAROLINA,

SOOIH CAKOl4lNA n.
(St. Louis Globe Democrat
President Roosevelt is taxing the
sensible course in determining to go to
the Charleston exposition. The Till
man affair will not figure in the mat
ter one way or the other. The visit
which the President is to make is the
one which. arranged for Lincon's birth
day, had to be abandoned on account
OF the illness Of the Presidents son.
One of the episodes of that visit, but
only very small one, was to be n
sword presentation to Major Jenkins.
Lieutenant Governor Tillman, nephew
Of the Senator, Withdrew the invita-
ton to the President to present the
sword, but he did this ON his own re-
sponsibility, and his act has been re-
pudiated by most of the persons who
subscribed to the fund by which the
sword had been purchased.
The representatives citizens Of
South Carolina have shown the Prcsi-
dent and the country that they have
no sympathy with Senator Tillman,
and that they condemn the act of
Tillman's nephew. The renewal of
the invitations to the President to
go to Charleston have made it plain
that the decent citizens of the Pal
metto State have repudiated the acts
of both the Tillmans They will be
ignored altogether ON the Presidents
coming visit. The indications are
that the state is tired of the entire
rillman family, and will abolish
them the first chance 1t gets. Nearly
all the newspapers of the state have
denounced tho acts Of both the Sena.
tor and the lieutenant governor. They
see that these persons have inflicted
: a discredit on the state which it will
, require years to live down.
Under present conditions the visit
) of the President to Charleston will be
: bigger affair than would have been
the one originally arranged. 1t will
attract much more attention than
the other would have called out. The
recent outbreaks in W ashington and
at the state capital have aroused the
South Carolinaians to the importanc,
Of making an emphatic reputation o.
the blackguardism Of the elder Till
man and the boorishness of the young
er. The coming visit, therefore, will
be a notably great occasion. osten
sibly, the President goes to visit tn
Charleston exposition. Actually, h
goes to see the people Of that city and
state, of which it is the social metrop
oils. The time when President Rose
welt, in the latter Part of the presen
month, steps into Charleston will be I
notable day in the annals of that cit.
and its state.

Many people, with weak digestion,
as well as some physicians consider
the first step to take in attempting to
cure indigestion is to restrict the diet,
either by selecting certain foods and
rejecting others, or to cut down the
amount of food eaten to barely enough
to keep soul and body together, in
other words the Starvation plan Is by
many supposed to be the first essen
tial.
All this is radically wrong 1t is
foolish and urscientific to recommend
dieting to a man already suffering
from starvation because indigestion
itself starves every organ, nerve and
fibre in the body.
What people with poor digestion
most need is abundant nutrition,
plenty OF good, wholesome, properly
cooked food. and something to assist
the weak stomach to digest it.
This is exactly the purpose for
which Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are
adapted and the true reason why they
cure the worst cases of stomach trou-
BILE.
Eat a sufficient amount of whole
some food and after each meal take
one or two of stuart's Dyspepsia Tab
lets to promptly digest it.
In this way the system is nourished
and the overworked stomach rested,
because the tablets will digest the
food whether the stomach works or
not, one grain of the active digestive
principle in Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab
let's being sufficient to digest 5000
grains of meat, eggs or other album
inous food.

recommend these tablets in all cases
of defective digestion because the pep
sin and dias,ase in them are absolute

Impurities, and being pleasant to ths

COUNTY ROAD WORK.
Supervisor Johnson Shows How the
Money Was Spent Last Year.


County Road Supervisor Il. b.
johnson, who has not had charge OF
the county roads year yet, has sent
The sun an explanation Of the costs of
the roads during his administration.
il states that the statutes define that
the road work shall be let to the low
est bidder on the first Monday in
March of each year, after having
been advertised twenty days. Mr..
johnson was elected in April, and Of
course could not let the road contracts
in March, and as the county had ig-
nored the law, to let to the lowest bid
der, the work was done by the county,
by day labor
As a result, 800 miles of dirt road
were worked to September seth, al
total cost of $3.50. SO, with an av'
ersge cost per mile of si7.
Twenty miles of new roads through
woods were made, the stumps beinf
removed and all grading done, at 4
cost of 81, an average of Sill Z
mile. The bridges on the above road
cost s3,ll2. There are 1865 blidgei
twenty feet and over in the county
6ls bridges under twenty feet, max
ing the total cost of the dirt road
last year, under Mr.. johnson, $40,
52G. 80.
On the gravel reads the bridges COS
l$1,224.2s. Fill on the Benton road
o.. 25s.05. Cost of graveling on al
roads, $3.50. 45.
All the gravel roads were ditched
brush and brisrs moved and the cos
OF this was 81, 5oS So, making the tota
cost of work done on the gravel roads
IS. 236.67.
The total cost of all roads last yea
was si5, 1888. 22.

In another place a detailed state
ment OF the cost OF tine county roads
last year under Supervisor Z. B. John
son is gwen. The Sun recently took
occasion TO comment on the cost of
the county road work. but it was that
portion OF the work that cost the
county over $4,000 in two years
Under Mr.. johnson the cost was only
about els. 900, which seems reasona-
BILE enough when 1t is seen how much
work was done. Previous to that,
however, there has been principally
extravaganza, IL seems. At least, the
amount Of work done last year, and
the cost of / {, would indicate that the
money previously expended on the
roa1s must have been spent for moth
ing. Another significant thing is
that the repairing to the gravel roads
in the county last year according to
Supervisor Johnson's statement WAS
only $3.50 for all the gravel needed on
the roads. The remainder Of the cost
of work on the gravel roads was for
fills, ditching, and bridges. This
shows how little the actual repairs to
the ROADS would cost II they were
graveled with the money that is
thrown away on them every year for
work that disappears with the advent
of rains and bad weather. The sooner
the county realizes this and begins to
gravel the roads and make them sub
stantisi, the lighter will be the yearly
burden on the taxpayers.
