GLIDER & WEEKS SUCCESSFUL.
Induced Dr.. Howard Company to Make
Special Price.

After a great deal of effort and cor
respondence, Glider & Weeks, the
popular druggists, have. succeeded in
getting the Dr. Howard Company to
make special half-price Introductory
offer on the regular fifty cent size Of
their celebrated specific for the cure Of
constipation and dyspepsia.
DR.. Howard's specific has been so re-
markably successful in curing constipa-
ton, dyspepsia and all liver troubles,
that they are willing to return the price
paid in every case where it does not
give relief.
So great is the demand for this speci-
fc, that Glider & Weeks have been able
to secure only limited supply, and
every one who is troubled with dyspep-
sia, constipation or liver trouble should
call upon them at once, or send 25
cents, and get sixty doses Of the best
medicine ever made, on this special
half. price offer, with their personal
guarantee to refund the money if it
does not cure.

GOOD ROADS.
Il, II. AULI., EDIfoR.

Anderson County has just had good
roads convention and Orangeburg and
York are to have conventions very soon
on the same subject. Newberry held
her convention some time ago. These
are good things and will help the cause
as agitation of any good cause in mod
Grafton will do good. We need money
and the machinery for its wise and judi
cious expenditure and then we can have
roads. We are glad to see the agita-
get some legislation through which will
give practical force to the sentiment.
We wish every county in the State
would hold good roads convention this
present year and put the members of
the legis ature on notice that something
would be expected of them. Our entire
road law needs overhauling and rcvis-
ion. Then we need to wake up to the
fact that to build roads it takes money
and we know of no way for the govern
ment to get the money except by taxa
tion either direct or Indirect, and it
makes little difference how it comes out
of the people at last. We want to
recognize this fact at the beginning Of
the game.
Almost any fellow with glib tongue
can get on the stump and tell the people
of the beauties Of good roads and even
dilate on the good results and the bene-
fits of good roads. The people know and
appreciate these things already. 1t
needs no argument ard nc rhetoric to
convince them on thcsc points. What
we want is d prac tical plan for raising
the money so that the burden will not
bear heavily on any one and then wise
and judicious and business like system
for its expenditure These two must
come together.
1t is good to keep up the agitation and
out of it and the multitude Of counsel Il
plan will be evolved. 1t is coming just
as sure as anything caH be and we
hope it may be soon. The people Of the
rural districts recognize its Importance
as well as the people Of the cities and
towns. Road Improvement is neccs-
sity as well as a luxury. The people are
coming to realize that about the heaviest
tax they arc paying today is the mud
tax, and the man with a practical busi-
ness like plan is the man we are looking
for. In the meantime let the agitation
20 on.
What we would like to see i'm each
county is some roads built, if only 4 few
miles, SO that our people could see
what the difference is and what the cost
would be and then the thing would ma
terialize.
In our own county we have been try
ing to get our supo visor to see the wis
dom Of building a few miles of good
road so that the people could have a
practical demonstration. Then we
could get an idea of cost and result.
Our county organized a good roads
convention some time ago and appointed
township chairmen to organize the va
rious townships. We hope these town
ship chairmen will proceed with the
work assigned them and have rousing
uniting next time and advise those APP
pointed to speak that something prac-
tical will be expected. Let the good
work 90 on.

EDITORIAL CHb NGES.

During the past few days several
editorial changes have been announced
Editor j. G.. Darlington rctircS from
the Spartanburg Herald and is to be
succeeded by Mr. Zach McGhcc, who
has recently been travelling correspon-
dent Of the News and Courier and also
editor of the Educational. Mr.. Gar
ling;"n has been connected with the
Daily Herald since it was established
and is an all-round good newspaper man
and bold and fearless writer. We are
glad he is not to retire from journalism.
He is to edit the Carolina Spartan, one
of the oldest wccklics in the State.
This, however, we presume, retircs the
veteran editor, Mr.. Chas. Petty, who
for many years has been at the helm of
the Spartan. Mr.. McGhec is untried
as an editor but he is bright and encr-
getic and we'll educated and we have nc
doubt will do good service on the
Herald.
1t is announced that Mr.. J. X. Black.
man is to retire from the editorial chain
of the Greenville News and is to bt
succeeded by Mr.. r. w. Simpson, Jr.
who for several years has been on the
staff of the News and Courier. Mr.
Simpson is a young man and has done
good work on the News and Courier ant
we have no doubt will put new life il

brethren much success, easy work AM
good returns.

"The Cavalier"

"The Cavalier" will be the attraction at the Jefferson theater tomorrow night. Of the performance given by Charlotte Tittell the Norfolk (Va.) Landmark said
 Charlotte Tittell as Charlotte Durand fully sustained all the predictions made for her before her coming to Norfolk, for she gave a delightfully."- consistent, tactful and artistic performance, always con servative. and handled with that touch of genuine sincerity that gave the delin- cation a realism seldom equaled Her support was good. very good. The work of John Monks as Captain Jewett was especially effective in the second act. Frank Powell as the soldier lover, and W. c. Andrews as Lieutenant Smith. gave conscientious and clean-cut delinea- tions. The cotton warehouse and the Gilmer house were effective sets, and the precision with which the military tactics were executed gave evidence of the knowledge of arms during that period"

RESIDENCE BURNED
 AT AN EARLY HOUR
FIRE CAUSED LOSS OF ABOUT S2OOO TO CAPT. CHARLES LED. BETTER's HOME ON FOUR TEENTH AVENUE, SOUTH.

The residence of Captain Charles l.. Ledbetter, at Twelfth street and Four teenth avenue, south, was badly damaged by fire yesterday morning about 6;45 o'clock. The loss will amount to about 5000 to the house and furniture, partially covered by insurance.
 The fire originated from defective fur mace in the basement of the house. It spread rapidly. running all over the house through the fiues of the furnace. and catching in nearly every part of the build ing.
 The alarm was turned in, but the de- partment had long run to make from Five Points and from Avenue D and Eighteenth street This gave the flames ample time to get firm hold on the building before water was thrown on it. The flames were quickly extinguished af- ter the department arrived.
 Most of the furniture in the house was saved and the loss on that was com paratively small. The house was a two- story frame, valued at $250O, and covered by $500 insurance. The damage was something over $500. The furniture and other contents of the house were valued at s2O0O with no insurance. The damage to the furniture was hard to estimate, but it was something over $50.
 This is the second bad fire In that por- ton of the city, and it is probable that sofne effort will be made to get fire en- zine house built about Twelfth avenue and Twelfth street, south. A fire in that locality has every opportunity to damage a house badly before the department can reach it, as it is more than half a mile to the nearest fire house.
 The portion of the city west of Twelfth street and south of Avenue F has been built up very rapidly within the past two or three years and it is almost without fire protection.
