How to Get Good Roads.

Jacksonville Metropolis.
Much is being said about how
to get good roads, but the people
of Saluda, S, O., seem to have
solved the problem. They have
ceased holding meetings and sug-
gestine legislation, and signed a
petitionstha each citizen give IN
labor or in furnishing teams Fix
days to road working in esch
neighborhood in the county. Tue
result is. there are good roads
now in use in that county, and no
big b IL 10 be presented to the
county authorities to pay for the
work on thu roads. H.liing meet
irg anti discussing ways and me~ns
id not b ing coed road, but tbs
men who cid not talk, nut instead
went on. AID worked, made thin.
This is the best way II the I'll
to get good roads, and it was tie

THIS YEAR.

Those who mk for a rI,ted>
return of diversity on the pr n
ciple Of change are aoomed to :
appointment 80 far as this , ear u
concerned. For every mill, ever,
line, every railroad, every gener |
industry points the other way.
Every savings bank is full #
money, ard there is an abundance
Of ready money in the 'ther
banks. The furnaces aud iron
mills are crowded with orders,
and the car buiIding companies
are almost swamped with them.
When the railroads cannot g,t
cars enough to carry the country's
goods it is plain the country IS
full of prosperity. The condition
Of the national treasury is excel
lent. A heavy snow is protect
ing the next winter wheat crop
and is fertilizing the soil. The
country is strong enough to meet
adversely. Last year it met the
assassination of a President, a
severe drouth that cut the corn
crop down almost one half and a
panic in May in Wall street, but
none nor all Of these things afa
fected materially the general con-
dition of affairs. All YER weath-
cred safely and readily. In this
connection we cannot do better
than quote the Chicago Inter-
Ocean:
"Within the last four years
the American people have reach
ed a position which they never
approached before. They have
pied up prestige, power, and
wealth more swiftly than any
Other nation in the world.
"With these things there has
come that reward OF all success
neutrality-suspicious. Of the
people in themselves; confidence
Of other peoples in them.
''It is on this basis Of conf,
dano6--Vle same sort OF confa
dance thai crowns the success IF
the private merchant or banker
that the present great majority
OF the United States is resting.
Nothing like it has blessed the
American people before in their
history, out now it is theirs as it
was England's after Waterloo
and Germany's after Sedan.
"It is tor these reasons that
the present prosperity Of the
American people, if they remain
true so themselves, it is not
likely to De exhausted in the
paltry space Of five, or ten, or
even fifteen years. Their conf
dsnce ia themselves grows day
by day, aud with ii the confidence
Of other nations III them.
"Confidence begees confidence.
All other peoples have turned
Ghair faces toward US. We have
but to proceed nationally to grow
without casing for at least a de-
cade to come.
SIT IS the way Of the world
among nations. To him that hath
shall be given"
z IF this view be too optimistic,
it is certainly plausible, and
every word Of it may be fulfilled.
It will be fulfilled if Dingleyism
can be pulled down to decency,
and steps are taken to build an
isthmian canal. Both of these
things relate to our export trade,
and ii is this that we must foster
if We would maintain prosperity.

To the Republican Voters of Snyder


County:
Having been urged personally and
by letter by farmers, business men,
laboring men and other representative
Republicans to stand for the nOmina-
ton for Assembly, I desire to thank all
my friends for their encouragement
and assurances of support, but l could
not, under the circumstances, consent
to enter canvass in the dead of win
ter, when many of my personal friends
on account of age be kept away from
the polls.
know that my friends earnestly de-
sired me to become candidate, and L
regret that our party management of
recent years has been influenced by
factional feuds and framed, in its prim-
ary work, more by u selfish than by a
popular interest. l have always, so
far as l personally have been concerned,
been opposed to early primary nom-
nations for the reason that aside from
preventing many voters on account of
old ageor long distance and inclement
weather, from getting to the polls, they
simply mean, in the first instance,
"pOlitical speculation" benefit u few
men Mt the expense of the majority,
If understnd the public sentiment
correctly, am positive that the people
themselves will, at distant time, in
sist on an alteration of the rules so as
to make a inid-winter nomination a
political impossipility.
l am at any time ready to strike a
blow at that prejudice which takes
from the voter and the taxpayer any
part of his right to participate in public
affairs and l stand prepared to assist
my friends anywhere and at any time
to restore our party practice to tha,
good old method which will guarantee
to every man q fair field and no favuls
Every citizen and every tax.payel
should havean equal right with every
other citizen and every other tax-paye
in public as well as private matters ant
as o citizen and taxpayer of Snyde
County, ! desire to assure my friend
that no public or private cali will b.
treated lightly by me when I am &C
corded just and fair opportunity t.
serve them. Yours respectfully,
CHAS. MILLER.
