The ice cream festival given in ban

a success. The cake which was to be
given to the most popular young lady
was awarded to Miss Elmira Oxner,
she receiving 1G votes, which was 81
majority over eight other young ladies.
The cake was one of the incest I have
ever seen. 1t was baked by H. A.
Meyer & Son and weighed 2 IL pounds
with an imitation of St. Michael's
church in Charleston on the top. There
were two other nice cakes bid off, one
for 60 cents, which was sold to Mrs.
Sanford, and the other for so cents,
which was sold to Mr.. Jas. F. Bouk-
night. Altogether the church cleared a
neat little sum of about $50.

Parity.

Purity in flour ought to be an inn
portant consideration in every family.
In making "Clifton" flour every grain
of wheat is thoroughly cleaned before
grinding, and is converted into flour in
a hygienically clean, modern mill. The
-four is purified, aerated and sifted
through delicate silk cloths before it
is sacked. Absolute purity lis thus
assured.
The best flour looks very much like
any other flour when it is IN the sack.
The real test is in the baking. That's
where "Clifton" flour eXcels by every
test-excels in purity and perfection;
in the quality and richness of the
bread.
Pure flour really does not cost any
more than -four that is not strictly pure.
"Clifton'' flour is guaranteed strictly
pure wheat flour, and is sold at reason
able price. "Clifton has no rival.
There is no better flour sold at any
price. Bransford Mills, Owensboro,

A TERRIBLE TAX.

The cost of bad roads to the people of
this country, especially the farmers, IS
so enormous that it is doubtful whether
any ADEQUATE estimate of it has ever
been maze. '" ,
Those who have made a long and
laborious study of the subject, however,
have reached conclusions that are very
impressive and suggestive.
The best authorities place III aver
age Saul Of the American farmer IN
getting his produce to market, or to the
nearest station at twelve miles. The
average cost per ton for haulings over
the country roads is. So for a twelve
mile haul, or Is cents per ton per mile.
The total number of tons hauled per
wear by the farmers Of this country is
estimated at 300, 600, 900, which makes
the cost of getting the surplus farm
products of this country to the railroad
stations or the local markets no less
than $500, 900, 900 every year, or more
than the national debt. This amount
also exceeds the total operating ex-
penses of all the railroads in the United
States. It is a surprising statement
that it costs more to get the farm pro-
ducts of the country from the fields
where they grew to the points where
they enter the distributing system than
it does to operate the whole railway
system of the United States, which
comprises one-half of the total railway
mileage of the world. If the people of
the United States could be brought to
understand just what bad roads mean
they would reduce the enormous tax
that is thus levied. They coulddo it by
improving the highways and neighbour
hood ROADS that lead from the great
channels of trade to the farmers. They
are beginning to understand the differ
ence between good roads and bad ones
and the result is to be seen in the re-
markable betterment of roads in all
parts of the country within the past ten
years.
This good work is the best possible
evidence of an advance IN the material
prosperity of the agricultural interests
which are and must continue to be the
backbone of the nations strength
Atlanta journal.
- This is another way to look at this
question of a tax for good roads. The
farmers are paying the big tax men
toned above by the Journal, whereas if
q property tax were levied and put in
good road building, other property
would bear its proportion of the burden,
and it receives the benefit. The more
we think of it the more we are con-
WINGED of the correctness of the propo-
sition that the only way to secure good
roads is by taxation and that such a
tax is the best investment the people
can make and that it will pay greater
dividends than any other, andthatif we
could once get started or good road
building the trouble would be to hold
the people back.

We notice that the question of ex-
tending the electric road from Augusta
to Aiken on to Edgefeld and Saluda is
being agitated. This would be a good
thing for Newberry. Why not extend
the road on to Newberry? Then in this
connection we might develop the water
power going to waste On Saluda river
and which has so often been talked and
written about. The road bed is graded
from Saluda to Newberry. The road,
as we understand it, is now in operation
from Augusta to Aiken.

Il. '!tI.L- GORE,

It is said the Republican leaders are
very much alarmed about the effect the
strike in the coal districts may have On
the congressional elections. They are
not so much concerned about the miners
and the coal famine and the suffering
which may. be caused this winter on &C
count of the advance in the price Of
coal.
Senator Hanna is quoted as saying:
@Fully ninety per cent. Of the Amerl-
can people with the strikers
and are against the operators in this
fight. If the strikers need more money
than organized labor can raise to carry
on the battle, the people at large are
willing to subscribe. l know OF bust
ness men who are willing to contribute
large checks rather than see the men
starved into submission. They believe
it would be a disgrace to American
manhood if Baer and his associates
were able to win the victory through
the brute force of capital held in stub
born hands"
The Atlanta Journal, commenting on
this statement, suggests that Senator
Hanna would probably make a hard
fight against the proposition to reach
the coal trust through thetarif, though
that would be the most direct and effec-
tive method of relieving the people
from their grasp" -. =
We confess that we do not see how
the matter could be reached through the
tariff, because the statement is mace
on what should be good authority that
ninety pep cent. of the anthracite coal
deposits Of the world are in the State
of Pennsylvania where the strike is.
The owners of these coal beds have the
money of the anthracite coal of the
world, and how free trade or the re-
movalo of the tariff could affect the stu
alton, is not entirely clear to US. .a
President Roosevelt is e~ndeavoring to
relieve the situation by conference and
compromise, but we do not expect to
see him accomplish anything.
= Then it. IS proposed that national
ownership and operation of the anthra-
cite coal mines be assumed by the exer-
+ else of the right of eminent domain with
just compensation to the owners. This
position is one of the planks in the
Democratic platform of the State of
New York. 1t is claimed that this
course will solve the problem and assure
peace in the mining regions and remove
all cause for differences. This position
We suppose is attempted to be sus-
tanned on the ground that it is betterto
have government monopoly than pri-
Eate monopoly and the additional ground
that fuel like water is public necessi-
ty. Just. as well, it seems to US, adVo-
cate government ownership of land and
railroads and steamships, and do away
altogether. with private ownership of all
public utilities. 1t is undemocratic and
tends to imperialism.
And yet the situation is serious and
unless some settlement is reached the
price of coal will so advance and the
supply fall SO far below the demand as
to cause great suffering and hardship.
