Doubtless the best way to keep an
earth road. or any road. for that mat
ter, In repair is by the use of wide
tires on all wagons carrying heavy
burdens. Water and narrow tires aid
each other in destroying streets, mac
adam. gravel and earth roads. Mar
row tires are also among the most de
structive agents to the fields, pastures
and meadows of farms. while, on the
other hand, vide tires are roadmakers.
They roll and harden the surface. and
every loaded wagon becomes in effect
a road roller Nothing so much tends
to the improving Of a road as the con
tinued rolling Of its surface. Tests
made at the experiment stations In
Utah and Missouri show that wide tires
not only improve the surface Of roads.
but that under ordinary circumstances
less power is required to pull wagon
on which wide tires are used.

New Jersey. Good Roads.

New Jersey was probably the first
state to make radical progress in road
building By her state aid law. passed
in 1891, it was possible for the authOri-
ties, under the direction and petition
Of the taxpayers. to spend S450,OOO a
year in road Improvement Under this
benefcent law ten miles OF excellent
roads were built the following year,
double that in the next year, and since
1895 the full limit Of the amount al
lowed by law has been annually used.
Allowing $1,000 per mile, this means
about $50 miles Of roadbuilding every

In a country as large as that in which

the matter Of transportation Is one OF
vast Importance. says Martin Dodge in
The Forum This applies particularly
to our agricultural products, for while
a great portion both of our manufac-
tured output and of our farm growth
must be moved long distances by rail
or water before reaching a market,
practically all OF the latter must also
be transported for greater or less dis

tural products. amounting In the Unit

The action of Major Micah jenkins
in refusing to accept the sword which
was to have been presented to him by
President Roosevelt, upon, the invita-
tion of Col. Tillman, will be commend
ed throughout the State. AS a soldier
and as gentleman he could not nave
done otherwise. He was captain under
Col. Roosevelt in the battle where
he displayed such conspicuous courage
as to call forth from his chief and
friend the words engraved upon the
scsbbard of he,4sword, which words
contributed more than any other one
thing towards bringing his bravery be-
fore the people of.this country, and that
man, his former chief, is now President
of the United States and commander-ln'
chief of it's armies. He took the right
course and his action was what was ex'
pected of,him by the people OF South
Carolina. Col. Tillman has received
lust rebuke for an indignity offered the
President, and Major jenkins has vim
dicated the State by his action IN re-
fusing to accept the sword.
The Newberry herald and news. (Newberry, S.C.) 1884-1903, 1902-03-04

The sword presentation matter has
been made great deal more OF than 1t
deserved. It was private matter be-
tween those who were to give the
sword and Maj. Jenkins. Col. Jas. d.
Tillmsn had no authority to act in this
matter in the capacity OF Lieutenant
Governor. If he desired to- withdraw
the invitation extended to President
Roosevelt to present the sword to MAJ
Jenkins that was matter between him
and the Others who purchased it AND
the State had rothing whatever to 90
with it. But by sending the telegram
to Presinent Roosevelt in his othclal
capacity as a state officer it brought the
State in at least to those who do not un-
derstand the circumstances. We hope
the incident is closed. Of course Presi-
dent Roosevelt will not deliver the
sword and Maj. Jenkins has now de-
clined to accept it.

Gov. McSweeney is to be commended
for his prompt action in filing the va
cancy in the Auditors Office caused by
the death of Auditor Cromer. He has
also done the right thing in appointing
young Mr.. William Wallace Cromer,
the son of the former Auditor, and we
say this without any disparagement OF
the claims of the other applicants or
of their fitness for the position. The
young man has been doing the work OF
the Office during the illness of his father
and is famaliar with the detailsof the
work and is fully competent to discharge
the duties of the Office. We feel sure
he will make an efficient and an oblig-
ing official. His appointment will meet
the approval of the people OF the county.
