Gener>l Grant Favored Good Roads.

Nearly 20 years ago General Grant,
in enumerating necessary lines of pub.
lie improvements, named the public
schools and highways. Once, when he
and General Sheridan were in a remi.
niscent mood, the old commander said
to Little Phil" speaking of the latter'a
famous ride to the battle OF Cedar
Creek: SHERIDAN, if that battle had
taken place after a prolonged rain and
there had not been a good pike from
Winchester, you would never have been
promoted to the head Of the United
States army. You would not have reach
ed the battlefield to cheer your men,
and there would have been a great de-
feat for the Union forces instead Of a
great victory. That would have left
Meade and Thomas a long distance
ahead of you in the line of promotion.

Keep the Road Dry.

F. A. Durham, who has been prom.
inently identified with the farfamed
system Of modern highways of New
Jersey, at a meeting Of the Connecticut
Valley Highway association, stated
that poor material we'll put together
can be made to produce better result'
than first class material oarelessly put
together. Nothing is more fatal to du'
rability than the drainage OF the road
bed, and more particularly the sub
drainage, which is often neglected. A
msosdam road cannot be left to itself
after a completion, bat needs constant
y~uperyision.

Improvement, while 1t cost them just

during the year for $40, 900 worth OF

In France there are "a, 900 miles Of

Experts.

The tower, or something else, OF the State
House in Columbia, affords abundant themes
Tor discussion, and IT seems that some FOLKS
are determined not to be satisfied. Expert
testimony on some subjects, that Of medi-
cine, for instance, Is worth very little. but 1t
seems to us that a little horse sense ought to
determine some things. The presumption
ought to be that the tower is safe. But when
there ia either reason. or disposition, to find
fault, we can all see spooks. The United
States government expert says that the tower
is safe. And now Governor Hayward is criti.
cised for employing him. The Greenville
Mountaineer compliments two home experts
and thinks that they, or one of them, ought
TO have been employed. Abbeville could fur.
nish an architect in whose judgment we
could all rely. We refer to Mr.. B. X. Beach
