The Bamberg Herald says: "The need
of two white parties in South Caro-
lima daily grows more apparent" We do
not see where two white parties would be
beneficial to the State, and would be glad
if our contemporary would point out some
of the benefits to be derived from having
political division of the white people in
South Carolina. The above is not written
in any captious spirit as we are honestly
seeking information. Orangeburg Times

less politics and more business. Talk Bam-

At this writing it looks like Patterson
has defeated Mayfeld for congress, and
we accept the result without soreness or
bitterness. We did the best we could,
and have no regrets over our course. We
trust Mr.. Patterson will make a good con-
gresham and not ignore Bamberg county
entirely, as former: congressman have
done. We only regret that the campaign
was so dirty.
~.
The Orangeburg Times and Democrat
asks US for information as to the benefits
to be derived from two white parties in
South Carolina. We are in hurry to-day
and cannot answer fully, but few rea-
sons will suffice. Two white parties would
do much to create interest in politics and
keep down a lot of corruption and dirty
work. Our opinion is that the Democratic
party of South Carolina is not doing itself
credit as rule in the matter of its selec-
tions for office and the manner OF cam
paigning by the candidates and their
friends. There is too much apathy and
indifference among the voters, and ques-
means are used by many men to
get Office. In short, We would get better
men as ofice.holders, more interest would
be taken, and politics would be cleaner.
We do not believe our contemporary v i'll
deny that these results would be brought
about by having two white parties in ex-
istence in this State.

Strangers coming into this County
often remark about our naturally good
road beds. There are stretches u
several miles that almost resemble
maeadam. upon which not one dollar
of the CountY's money has been
spent TO be sure, there are stretches
that have the road fund pretty well
shorn. Great many of The soft places
have been repaired time and time a
gain. but like proverbial water down
a rat hole, these places rise year after
year to torment Us.
OF late years it has been the custom
for the farmers and other residents
along any particular stretch of road,
to combine. under the supervision Of
the road supervisor, to repair the
road.
Stretches of or miles would be
placed in good condition yearly by
hauling on coarse gravel, the rocks
would settle To the bottom and the
finer material covering the rocks, be
ing crushed by the heavy teams pass
ing over it, formed a smooth even
road The lime and plastic clay in the
gravel. formed with the mud that
rose TO the surface, a hard
cement-like bed The result is that
portions brought into travelling con-
dition, as above stated, have been
used continually, winter and summer
with the roads still in good condition.
To be sure. our roads in their en-
tirety are not in perfect condition by
any means There are stretches, es-
pecially those leading to Carson and
some places on the West Fork, that
could be proiitably fixed. Ii all takes
time and money. and by adhereing to
the methods now in vogue, we will
eventually have As good highways as
in most parts Of the country districts
; of the State. It Is common to imagine
that the roads can be put into ideal
condition by hauling gravel on them,
but such condition we can not hope
for at the present time as the road
must be put into such a shape that
it will have solid foundation. The
soil in portions Of the road is and of a
dobe consistency, that by the mere
hauling Of gravel on it will have only
temporary effect, and to insure a
good road all the time with the
method enumerated, would require
constant supervision; a considerable
more than our limited road funds
would bear This is especially true of
the road leading from the schacht
corner to Millichville. The soil on
the East Fork roads is of clayey
complexion, that with the admixture
of sand forms a hard compact sub
stance which is in q measure imperv-
ious to water By the roads being
placed in condition with substance
possessing those properties, they are
not, comparatively speaking, very
muddy during the wet season.
