And then-this act is vital

THE ENEMY OF GOOD ROADS.

Among the elements and forces of
nature there are several enemies of
good roads, but the greatest of them is
water. 1t washes away the material
of the road. 1t soaks into the road and
softens it so that the wagon wheels cut
into the surface, making rutS and holes.
II permeates and softens the founda-
ton so that the surface of the road
sinks or breaks up. In the winter the
water that is in the road freezes, eX-
pands, and lOosens and disintegrateS
the road material.
The most important thing in the build
ing of roads is to lessen or prevent the
ravages of water; yet no feature of the
work is so neglected as this. Many local
road supervisors seem to give no con-
sideration to the question of drainage,
and the result is regular mud block
age during several weeks or months of
the year.
The following are a few simple rules
the observance of which would go far
toward lettering the roads of this coun-
try:
First-The road should be so located
and constructed as to avoid steepgrades
down which the water rushes during
heavy rains, tearing up and washing
away the road material.
Second-The foundation of the road
should be thoroughly drained by open
side bitches, which will carry off the
water, and where necessary title drains
should be laid in the foundation itself.
Third-The surface of the road should
be hard and smooth and have sufficient
slope toward the sides to shed the sur
face water.
Fourth Ruts and holes on the sur
face of the finished road should be filled
as fast as made SO that no water can lie
on the surface to be worked up into
mud.
These rules are simple and easy to
follow, and any one who gives any
serious thought to the matter can see
the wisdom of following them. Still
they are almost universally ignored as
the condition of our roads abuEdantly
proves.
What this country needs is radical
change, a new era in bodybuilding. The
people have been moving in ruts in
more senses than one, and if each local
community is left to work out the road
problem alone, they will continue to
move in the same ruts. and every year
millions of dollars will be thrown into
the mud, to say nothing of the losses
resulting from the use of bad roads.
Lectures on road Improvement seem to
do very little good. Books and bnlle-
tins on road building appear to have
very little effect.
What the local communities need is
~. l.
sistance, and these can come only from
the State and federal governments. 1t
is for this reason that road reformers
everywhere are turning toward State
and national aid as the only solution OF
the road problem. The bad roads OF
the United States are a blight and a
disgrace, and all patriotic. progressive
citizens should make united effort tC
wipe them out and put our nation on =
level with the advanced nations of Eu

MEMORIAL ADDRESSES.
Y. H. COLLEY, ESQ, AT B1DDEFoRD
AND REV. F. S. FORBES AT LOS
ANGELES, CALF.


Frank H. Colley, Esq, of Old Or
chard delivered the Memorial day ad-
dress in Biddeford. The Biddeford
Journal says: HE was frequently in
terrupted with loud applause and espec-
Tally when he paid a splendid eulogy to
President Lincoln. He covered wide
range of history and at the close was
given rousing and well deserved ova-
ton" In closing Mr.. Colley referred
to the flags of the State regiments sa-
credly preserved at Augusta and the
tales of hardship and suffering that
these dumb monitors bring home to us.
They tell us of the heroes who rallied
beneath their folds and bearing them
through the hell of battle, planted them
upon the ramparts of their foes.
You are the survivors of war
which can never be forgotten. We de-
plore the fate of your comrades who
have pitched their tents in the eternal
camping ground of the great beyond.
You have fought a good fight and the
blessings of thousands will ever follow
you.
and to you, women of the North,
no less praise is due. You proved as
true as steel and covered your names
with glory.
Forty years with all their softening
Influences have rolled over that dark
chapter in our nations history, and to-
day as a people We are strong in pat
riotism and brotherly love. Our war.
fare is ended, peace hovers over US S.,,d

all parts of the country clasp hands
and feel that they are one in the spirit

An EnOCh Arden affair.

County--A War Romance.
Special to The State.

Spartanburg, March 5.-Spar-
tanburg county furnishes some
thing of an Enoch Arden affair,
or romance in which man
twice married without knowing
whether or not his first wife was
alive or dead. Recently j. A.
West of Aklahoma, Miss wrote
to the clerk of court of this coun,
ty, inquiring for any information
relative to his father, j. II. West,
thereby hangs the tale. "Long
lines of cliff breaking have left n
chasm," in the AZ years past.
In 1857 Mr.. j. T. West and
Miss Elizabeth Bennett, beth of
this county, were married. a
few years afterwards Aleck Ben.
nett, father of Mrs West moved
to Alabama, and his daughter re-
linquished all claims and obliga.
tions of her marital VOWS and
went with her father. The war
between the north and south com
ing on, j. L. West enlisted and
served as Confederate soldier
until bis surrender ut Appomatox.
He then returned to his old home
in this county, to retrieve his for
tune and disasters During all of
this time never a line nor message
came to him from his wife, and
in the daily routine of u struge le
for existence and prosperity, she
slipped out of his life. A few
months after this wife left for
Alabama with her father, she gave
birth to son, j. a. West, who
wrote the letter of Inquiry. The
husband knew nothing of this, of
course After be had we'll settled
down, II year subsequent TO the
war, and was engaged in farming

Grove this county. From this
union there are three children
all grown. The letter from his
son in Mississippi does not state
whether or not the first wife and
his mother, whose maiden name
was Bennett, was alive or dead.
The matter has occasioncd Mr..

Three negroes were lynched in
Colleton county two years ago for
the murder of Mrs. Jones, the
wife of section master on the
Atlantic Coast Line. There was
no direct evidence to connect them
with the crime, but the cry was rails,
ed and a mob soon formed, bent ON
vengeance. The motive of the
killing is supposed to have been
robbery. According to the Char
lesion Evening Post, it is report
ed that on his death bed the other
day Jones admitted that he had
slaughtered his wife, and he died
before he could give the details of
his crime. If what the man saws
is true, the outrageous work of
the mob cannot be condemned in
language too strong. II Is claimed
by friends of the husband that his
mind was wandering, that he was
not responsible for what he said,
yet it is frequently the case that
In his last moments n man will
confess almost any sin, especially
when it has been bearing heavily
on his soul. 1t is to be hoped
that he was crazy, and therefore
was simply rambling in his speech.
1t is too late, perhaps, to get at
the truth, and 1t it would hardly
help, but the mob will always con
tend that 1T was lunatic and not
a murderer who died the other
day in Colleton, -Greenville News.
Piety is more than perfunctory
paying.
