alone for year or so, but there
are bills on the calendar which
seek to have change in the way
the business Is carried on. Some
of these bills seek to have the
capital stock cut down so that
the school fund may profit there
from. The house killed the bill
proposing to have county dispen-
sers elected as other county off,
GERS are. But there is yet a bill
of this kind on the calendar.
The question of education is at
all times live subject. There
will naturally be a great many
bills on the subject. The insur-
ance laws of the State are also
brought up at every session and
there are now before the house
bills to create the office of insur-
ance commissioner, etc.
The perennial fight on the lien
law will come up this year, aud
the bill to tax dogs was one of the
first introduced. The appropria-
ton bill will give the ways and
means committee a great deal of
trouble this year as there are so
many demands for money.
There are as yet no bill which
will bring up q general fight
against the trusts. The restric-
tons will be given some attention
before the session is over.
There are great many young
men of promise in the house and
before the session is over it may
develop into a very lively and
interesting one.

for a small property tax so as to
get the movement started in a
practical way, there will be no
trouble in the future except to
keep the people from going too
far. There mas been talk enough
on this subject. The time has
come for action. 1t is for the
General Assembly to take the
action necessary.

SOME OF THE BILLS IN THE
LOWER HOUSE.
Legislature Entering Upon Its
Third Week and Committees
Well Up With Work.
The State, 26th.


The house of representatives
will meet today at noon. In the
two hours session today there
are number of matters on the
calendar which can be disposed
of. This is the third week of the
session and today is the 14th day
More than a third of the session
has gone.
BY tomorrow all of the cleo.
tions will be out of the way.
There are two places to be filed
associate justice of the supreme
! court to succeed Hon. Y. j. Pope,
and code commissioners to succeed
Mr.. w. Ii. Townsend. There are
a number of gentlemen whose
names will be presented and the
legislature has the opportunity
10 get men well qualified aud
men who would do credit to the
state.

The child labor bill will be
passed this session. That seems
to be the prospect. Whether or
not it will be the measure ,origi-
nally proposed or whether it will
be some modified bill, remains to
be seen. But it is probable that
something will be put through.
The jury law, county govern
ment law, road law and salaries
law will be modified but little at
this session. Each succeeding
delegation tries to make name
for itself by its stand in reference
TO matters efIecting it's county,
but the spectre of special legisla

which will not be modified except

Road Improvement.

1t would be waste Of words
to attempt to argue before any
assemblage of South Carolinians
the Importance of good roads and
the necessity for road improve
ment. Neither would it be profit
able to argue before you the ad-
vantages of good roads, for all are
agreed upon that subject. The
question which concerns us is
how best to secure them; to
devise some plan by which we
can, at least. begin the building
of good roads. 1t is business
proposition, and should be taken
hold of in a business way.
With the extension of the rural
delivery Of mail, the necessity is
upon us for road improvement, g,
for already the department at
Washington is discussing the i'm
practicability of extending, or
even of carrying on this service
of mail delivery unless there is
road improvement. II has been
stated that the Postmaster G aner-
al is to be asked to consider a
plan for the betterment Of our
public roads, and the request is
based on the fact that only one
serious obstacle stands in the
way of extending and developing
our free rural delivery service,
and that is the condition Of the
public highways. Mr.. Martin
Dodged director of the Bureau
of Public Roads Inquiries of the
Department of Agriculture, in
his recent report said "The Cir
cum stance that over $4,000, 900
was appropriated by our last Con
gress, largely to be buried in
muddy roads in the delivery of
our rural mails, while only the
small sum of $4,000 was last
year devoted to meeting the road
problem, indicates the great need
of education regarding the pres
ent necessity and demand for
vigorous and intelligent road work.
"As much..ofthe elarge appropri
ations for rural mail delivery
could be saved if we had good
roads, it is obvious that an amount
equal to considerable portion
OF these sums could be spent to a
good advantage in educating the
people in the work of improving
our country roads, and thus for
ever close large drain on our
national cash box"
1t is not so much a question of
education, at least with us, as il
is question of the means where
with to Dui!d good roads. And
yet in a sense it is a matter of
education. Because if our peo-
pie could bs taught to realize the
value and importance of good
roads there would not be so much
trouble to secure the means. If
we could have some practical il
lustrations of the value and the
saving to our people of good
roads they would not hesitate to
put up the money to secure them,
for though we are not rich, they
would then realize that they
could not make a better paying
than money put in
good roads. As to this country
at large "it is conservatively es-
timated by government officials
that we are needlessly losing or
wasting over $6OO,OOO,OOO each
year because of our bad roads,
making mud tax of over
100000 for every working day
in the year and an individual tax
of nearly $500 each year for
every person in this country"
This does not include the disad
vantages and inconveniences and
discOmiOrts incident TO ba6 roads.
We are losing or wasting our pro
