In their preSentmcnt made on We'd
nesday. the grand jury sa., s. "Some
complaints have come before us of the
condition Of the public roads. Under
the circumstances and on account of
the continuous rains, we think it best
only to recommend that the supervisor
repair the worst places in the county
where the conditions are such that he
can have the work done. We recon.
mend that our Representatives be re.
qucsied to advocate the passage of ar
Act to amend the communication tax sc
rs to make said tax two dollars instead
of one dollar" We are glad to sec
that the gentlemen Of the grand jury
recognize the very great Importance OF
road Improvement. But taking the
present condition of the roads into con.
Slderation, and in view of the fact that
the gentlemen who compose the granc
jury are fully familiar with condition.
IN Newherry county, their recommends
tonS are very mild. The communication
tax should be raised. or that there is
no doubt. But why "only recommend
that the supervisor repair the worst
places in the roads? 1t certainly woulc
have done no harm to recommend that
he put the roads in as good condition as
possible. But the recommendation mad,
is much better than no recommenda
uon at all, however, in that sam.
official notice has been taken of the cen
dtion of the roads.

DEATH OF CLARENCE JONES.

The death of Clarence Jones, former
ly of this town, came as great sur
prise to most Of our town s people. A
few of his old friends knew that he had
tubercular consumption, which was
running it's course very rapidly. He
died on Thursday of last week at the
home of his wife in Portsmouth, Va,
and was buried there. His brother,
Paul, was with him at the time of his
death. The deceased was Is years old
and had been married about six
months. He was quite a favorite in
his home town, his presence at any
gathering generally meant music from
his coronet. He had attained such a
high degree OF proficiency in playing
that he was always welcome. He was
the youngest of three brothers, who
survive him, as we'll as his father, now
in New York. The people Of st Paul S
church were very reluctant to part
with one who had done SO much for its
music. The young people of his own
age felt that they had sustained great
loss when he left his native town to
take his place in the hustle and hurry
OF the world.
