THE GOOD ROADS CONVENTION

ne SOOD nOAOS SONV6N iSN.
Because of the hour at which 1t was
necessary for THE ENQUIRER to go to
press last Tuesday afternoon, it was
impracticable to give full report Of
the proceedings of the good roads
convention held in Rock Hill on that
day, and the meagre details we We're
able to secure by telephone, were not
absolutely correct.
The attendance on the convention
was large and representative, includ-
ing substantial and influential citizens
from all parts Of the county, and the
proceedings were conducted in a busi-
ness-like manner throughout. The
speeches were good and the interest
in the subject was marked.
In taking the chair Governor Hey
ward treated the necessity of improv-
ing the roads as matter of course.
He referred to the present impossible
condition Of most Of our country roads
during the winter, and quoted statis.-
tics to show that the cost Of marketing
country produce in America Is two
| thirds greater than In Europe. It was
evident from what the governor had to
say that he has made a long study Of
the subject.
Following the address Of Governor
Hayward, the central committee made
the following report, which was adopt
ed by the conventions:
The undersigned committee, acting
under instructions Of a meeting of rep
resentative citizens of York county,
held on May 1S, 1903, respectfully sub
NIT the following suggestions for the
consideration Of this convention:
l. The organization Of a County
Good Roads association, by the elec-
tion of a president, four vice presj-
dents and a secretary and treasurer,
and an executive committee to be
composed of the presidents Of the va
rious township associations. The pres
ident, secretary and treasurer Of the
County Good Roads association to be
ex- -of1cio- members of the executive
committee Of the association.
2. Each township to form associa-
tion and elect delegates to the county
association, meeting to be held at
Yorkville, the first Monday in July,
the number Of representative dele
gates from the various townships to
be fixed in proportion to population Of
the township.
8. A committee of seven to be ap-
pointed at the meeting of this conven-
ton who shall undertake the general
work Of organization.
T. All citizens Of voting age to be
eligible to membership in the town.
ship Good Roads association.
After the report of the committee
had been acted upon, United States
Senator A. C. Latimer was introduced.
Senator Latimer has been giving the
road subject great deal Of careful at
tention, and is evidently making sin
cere and disinterested effort to be Of
assistance to the people Of the state in
solving the problem. In his speech he
impressed his hearers with the fact
that he realizes that the improvement

called attention to the fact that Sem
ator Tillman had previously advocated
propositions involving this same prin-
ciple Of government aid to the roads
and he intimated that the senior SEN
ator had now turned against views
that he had formerly entertained him.
self.
The most carefully considered speech
Of the day probably was that of Hon.
D. E. Finley. representative of the
Fifth congressional district In con-
gress. He has for years appreciated
the advantages to be derived from bet
ter roads in York county, and being
entirely familiar with all the condi-
tions entering into the problem so far
as our own people are concerned,
found no difficulty in getting squarely
down to the meat Of the whole ques-
tion. His remarks were about as fol-
lows:
That every citizen Of York county Is
in favor Of good roads needs not TO
be argued, and it follows that In any
intelligent discussion Of the question,
only ways and means should be con-
sidered.
Generally speaking York county
may be considered amongst the seven
or eight counties in the state having
the greatest population, wealth, aSri-
cultural resources, and manufacturing
industries. Roundly speaking, While
there are forty-one counties In the
state, York county Is about one-thir-
tieth Of the state in point OF popula-
tion and wealth, the taxable values
last year aggregating nearly six and
quarter million dollars. And the pop
ulation is evenly divided between the
white and the colored races. York
county today has no bonded debt, and
it's area is something like $50 square
miles. The taxable values for this
year will aggregate something like
six and a half million dollars, and In
two years more think we can safely
estimate that the taxable property will

Continuous advertising creates con-

that one cannot be constantly before

pie believe in a man who can stand
trial by the public.

hopes for the time to come when he

hopes for the time to come when he
can give up his farm and move to

Credited to Missouri.

A Missouri editor who threatened to
write an article entitled Hell and
Who Will Be There" has been warned
against the publication of libelous
matter by the entire town.
A Missouri editor went on a vaca-
tfon left minister in charge of his
paper. A day or two later a letter
from "a wayback" subscriber came,
which read: "You know ID well
l paid my subscription the last time
was in your town. If get any more
such letters, I will come down and
maui hell out of you. !" The minister an
swered, II have been trying to maui
that thing out of the editor for years,
and If you really come down and maui
it out of him, then, my dear sir, l
have twenty members of my church
you can operate on.''
A Missouri editor apologies to his
readers for the lack of news as follows,
which shows the trials to which a
country editor is often subject: "We
expected to have a marriage and a
death notice this week, but violent
storm prevent the wedding, and. the
doctor being sick himself, the patient

The recent Grand Army encamp-
ment in Washington, says the New
York Times, provoked good deal of
comment regarding the large numbers
of civil war veterans who are still in
good enough physical condition to en-
dure the fatigue of a long march.
Several Southern Democrats were dis
cussing this in a Washington hotel
lobby the other evening when Secre-
tary Charles A. Edwards of the Dem
ocratic Congressional Committee said:
"A few years ago Col. William Green
Sterett and I were sitting at a window
watching the parade at a Grand Army
encampment. Hour after hour passed,
and still the Yankee hosts swept
by. Col. Sterett became more and
more thoughtful, silent and depress-
ed as the march went on. After al
long silence he looked up, and, laying
his hand on my arm, said with the
utmost impressiveness: Charlie, I'm
going back to Texas and burn up every
Southern history of the war that I
can find What are you going to do
that for?' asked. Because, Charlie, ,
he said, still more impressively,
they're full of lies. They all tell
about how many Yankees we killed.
Charlie, we never killed a id YAM
kee. THEY'RE all here nOW!''' -
