case of tax levy.
The following resolution was
unanimously adopted:
Resolved, That the most earnest
expression of grateful appreciation
be extended to his excellency, Gov
ernor d. G. Hayward, for his warm
sympathies and very active co-opera-
tion with the Good Roads Associa-
ton of South Carolina, and that we
thank him for his able address on
the subject of "Good Roads"
The President announced that
the County Supervisors would then
be heard from in alphabetical order,
as to the progress of the good roads
movement in their respective coun-
ties. Each gentleman's talk was
brief, but Of great interest to the
convention. The subjects chiefly
dealt with were road material, food
for convicts, their shelter, the cost
of keeping them, the advantage of
State prisoners as compared with
chaingang prisoners, long term
men as compared with short
term men, free labor, hired
labor, road machines, etc.
Columbia, February 4.-The Good
Roads Convention adjourned this
morning to meet next year on the
third Wednesday in January.
Short addresses were made by the
various County Supervisors on the
progress of good road work in their
respective counties and several reso-
lutions proposing continuation of
the work were suggested.
The members of the Association
resolved to further the organization
of the Association and societies will
be formed in every county with the
view of pushing the good roads
movement.

Norfolk, Va, February 2.-Johr
l.. Dickerson, Jr., editor of the Nor.

ential negro, in strong article
| "roasts" Roosevelt, whom he accuses
! OF pamperipg to few negroes al
the expense of many.
He says that the Presidents action
will put an end to the cordial rela.
tions existing between the races
He calls Roosevelt's policy stubborn
and says the blacks should decline
the courtesies extended.
"While there is nothing we desire
more than the legitimate advance
ment of the race" saws Dickerson,
"we fail to see wherein the pamper-
ing to few of its leaders can aid OF
tend TO the welfare of the
masses; and If such, is detrimental
to the peace and good will now ex-

country, we are plain to say that as

and the welfare of the great masses
OF them, we would say by all means
let the Presidents invitation 20.
"The News has promised to speak
the truth to its people-not that
part of the truth which they like to
hear, but the whole truth, naked

"We feel and know that most un-
fortunately there is no people upon
the earth less willing or inclined to
self sacrifice for the benefit of their
own race than the negro.
"Where is the negro that is great

for the honor, but my race is toiling

A PATRIOTIC PROPOSITIONS.
Past the Legal Age, Our Correspondent 10
Willing to Help.

Tabor, s: g., February 5 Editors
Courier: How are we to work our
roads with one dollar Communication
tax? The roads in this part are in
a bad condition. There is one way.
and that is to pay our one dollar
tax, and let that go to help paw our
debts and fix bridges; then every
man and boy from 18 to 60 turn out
and work five days in each school
district, or more if necessary. I
am free as to road age, but that is
nothing. We must have our roads
fixed. This is the only way I see
just at this time to get anything
done.
We have good men to look after
our roads, but what can they do with
our county debts and work the roads
with one dollar Communication taxp
OF course their hands are tied, and
we need not expect much work this
time out of the county funds.
There are not more than Is or 20
miles to the school district. That
would be buta small job if we would
take hold and fix them before they
get out of reach. They are nearly
gone now, and if we wait much
longer they will be past redemption.

Catarrh Cannot be Cured

A Double Homicide Near Florence.

Columbia, February 3.-News of
a double homicide about ten miles
from Florence reached here early
this morning. Samuel Rogers was
mortally wounded and James Rogers,
his son, was instantly killed by Will
liam King. The testimony of Mrs.
Alonzo Hewitt at the coroner's in
quest was as follows:
81 was at home when Mr.. Rogers
came up in front of the house. About
this time Mr.. King came up and
asked Mr.. Rogers about dog. Mr..
Rogers told him that he would like
to have little something for the
care of the dog, as he had kept it for
some time not knowing whose it was.
"'Yes, I will pay you for keeping
my dog, and will pay you in lead,
and | will give it to you now. He
then drew pistol and fred at Mr..
Rogers.
"Just as he fred young Rogers
said to King:
IF you shoot papa you will have
to shoot me-
"King quickly turned and pointing
his pistol at young Rogers, fired.
Young Rogers fell on his knees and
then to the ground. King then
turned toward old man Rogers and
shot him three more times. I saw
Mr.. Rogers fall to the ground.
"Mrs. Rogers then ran up and said
to Mr.. King:
"'You have killed my baby
"King then turned, with his pistol
still smoking, and said to Mrs.
Rogers:
"'Yes, and, by God, 1 will kill the
whole damn family
GAS he said this he showed the
pistol in Mrs. Rogers's face and
snapped it once or twice. Had there
been more cartridges in the gun he
would have wiped out the entire
family, as he had stated, for there
were only three--father, mother and
son."
Mr., Rogers made an antemortem
statement in which he corroborated
in every particular the testimony OF
Mrs. Hewett. Young Rogers was
shot once, his father was shot four
times, the first two shots entering
both arms and the last two entering
his body.
King left message with his wife
fol the sheriff, saying he did not
mean to be taken and he was going
to leave the State.

Thomas Jefferson Memorial.

Washington, February 1.-The
Thomas Jefferson Memorial Associa.
tion, organized for the purpose OF
erecting at the National Capitol an
appropriate and truly national me-
mortal to the "author of the Declara.
tion of Independence" through its
president, Admiral George Dewey,
has issued an appeal to the Ameri-
can people for funds to carry out the
object of the Association. The text
of the appeal is as follows:
Headquarters Thomas Jefferson
Memorial Association of the United
States, Washington, D. c., January
81, 1903.-To the American people /:
The Thomas Jefferson Memorial
Association has been organized to
take up the long-neglected duty of
erecting fitting memorial to the
memory of the man who wrote the
Declaration of Independence.
We have here beautiful and costly
tributes to the memory of American
soldiers, sailors, statesmen, physi-
clans, inventors and philantrophists
and the soldiers and sailors of
France are honored, but there is not
one tablet to the memory of that
great American, Thomas Jefferson.
We ask the people to contribute
according to their ability, to this
memorial. Congress will not be
asked for money, as we rely solely
upon the people, the young and the
old, the children and their parcnts,
for the success of the movement.
The character and cost of the pro-
posed memorial cannot now be
stated, but it will be appropriate to
the greatness of the man and the
Importance of the document from
which his name is inseparable.
Rigid economy will be observed in
the expenses of carrying on the
work.
Every contributor will receive a
certificate acknowledging his sub.
scription, and carrying with it mem
bership in the Association. In time
to come those certificates viii, be

Contributions, checks, money or
ders or drafts should be made pay.

similar character in this country, il
is claimed, has had as its officers
more men of national character and
influence than this organization
Prominent men from all sections oi

in the movement and have written
to the officers of the Association ex.
pressions of approval. The Associa
