MAKING a HOME.

1t seems pity that the young
woman who is about to establish
home and has the money to spend for
its garnishing can not be persuaded
from laying it out all at once. She
robs herself of so much future enjoy.
ment The spick and span sets Of fur
niture which are carelessly ordered
from an upholstercr, and carried home
and stood around her parlors by his
men, will never afford her half the sat.
isfaction she can get in room in which
today, she buys chair, and next week,
seeing there must be Il table to accom-.
pauy the chair, she starts on fresh
shopping excursion, and finds a table
which is exactly what she is looking
for; and in another month, discovering
the need offs bookcase or screen, she
has again the delight of the hunt, and
the qualification of obtaining the prett.
est screen and bookcase in the city.
Such a room is "a growth, u gathering
together Of household treasures little
by little, and piece by piece. Each ar
ticlo, bought only when the need arises
or when something is happily found to
Just meet the need, will have Il family
history which makes it an entertaining
as we'll as valuable possession. Each
couch and foOtstool is an achievement;
each rug and curtain represents a
triumph. Such home built up gradu-
ally, with careful planning in each

The Road Question,

While there Is no question Of the
fact that the subject of good roads is
matter of very grave concern to a
large majority of the people Of this
country, especially with all who have
occasion to come in practical contact
with the hardships of the situation, 1t
will be no harm perhaps to admit that
all Of us are more or less remiss in our
duties in this regard.
When in travelling we come across
particularly rough or muddy piece
Of road, piece of road that could have
proper time or that could be remedied
| by a little work now, we are inclined
to get hot under the collar and throw
the blame at the county supervisor,
the county board of commissioners,
the road overseers and everybody else
except ourselves, the really responsible
delinquents.
To tell the right plain truth, there
never has been a time when the roads
Of this county have received anything
like the attention that is naturally re-
quired to put them in proper condi-
tion, and they are not receiving that
attention now. But at the same time,
it is just as we'll to admit for the sake
of frankness, that there has been
more good, intelligent road work in
York county during the past fifteen
years than ever before, and that the
| roads, taken as whole are probably
as good as they have ever been at this
season. However, while we believe this
we do not want to be understood for
moment as asserting that the condi-
| tions of the roads OF this county-any
of them-are of the slightest credit
to the Overseers, the county commits
sioners, or the people at large, includ-
ing every citizen of the county.
There has been a good deal of talk
about the chaingang, about its ex-
pense, and about it's alleged general
inefficiency. We have heard such talk
from various sources, and it is the ex-
ception rather than the rule when any
body has anything to say in defense
of the chaingang. Our own impression
| is that this view is both right and
wrong. That the chaingang costs a
great deal of money, there Is no ques-
ton; but that it is worse than useless
we are not prepared to agree. On the
contrary we believe ii comes pretty
nearly giving value received for all 1t
costs. But the trouble is that many
people expect everything of the chain
gang, and the more they expect Of
the chaingang the less they are in
clined to do themselves.
Now, while we do not want to be
understood as entering into a defense
of the chaingang system, or of under
taking to argue whether better results
can be accomplished by the contract
system, we do want to call attention to
few facts. The chaingang has done
more or less work in every township
of the county 1t has never done as
much work in any township as the
people Immediately interested desired;
but still candor compels the admission
that practically every road upon which
the chaingang has ever worked is the
better for the work that has been
done. or course there may be rea-

Is State Board Trying to Make Show
ing For State at Expense Of coun-
ties7

ing For State at Expense of coun-
ties?
Beaufort county's dispensary profits
will not be as large this year as they
were last. The state board Of control
have sent out new price lists, which
went into effect December first, and
which raised the cost price to the coun-
ty, on the cheap grades, without rails
ing the selling price. The state board
fixes all prices and profits. and 1t Is
difficult to see why 1t has reduced the
county's share.
Heretofore the profit at the Beau
fort dispensary has been about % per
cent, and this new order reduces 1t to
about II per cent. In other words the
county, and the towns In the county,
will get less than three -fourths the
profits heretofore received.
This reduction in profits applies only
to x and Xxx corn, rye and gin, but as
these are by far the largest sellers In
this county the effect will be to cause
the loss stated.
No explanation of this move has
been made by the state board that
we have heard Of. 1t is suggested that
the board Is in a tight place about
that school fund and wants to make a
good showing before the legislature
meets. For one Of the effects has been
to make 1t appear that the states pro-
fits have been enormously Increased
this month. 1t works this way: the
state board charges each dispensary
what it sees fit, and credits up its prof
its on each shipment as 1t goes out
of the warehouse in Columbia: now
1t sends down notice, not only that 1t
will raise the cost price after Decem-
ber first, but also that the county dis
pensaries must pay back to the state
the advance on all goods now on hand.
AS a result the dispensary In the town
Of Beaufort Is charged up with some
$14O, being the amount of goods on
hand December 1st that had been arbi-
trarily advanced by the board. They
send out a retroactive invoice-charge
another profit on goods already charg-
ed up. BY this move they deliberately
put their hands into the profits cred
tied to the towns and counties or the
state, and appropriate what they
chose Who Is to get this $40 already
taken away from us and the fourth OF
our future profits? 1t Is to go to pay
ing off those robbers who have been
selling the state poor liquor at enor-
nous prices, and whose accounts this
state board was authorized to refuse
to pay? Some explanation from the
state board Is in order.-Beaufort Ga

cluded the trial OF the case Of e. B.
Mendenhall vs.. the Carolina and North
Western railroad and L. t. Nichols.

dict for the defendant.
The next case was that Of s. G..
Sims, plaintiff, VS.. the Southern rail-
road and Charles Russell. This was

robbing a train. The arrest was ef-
fected in the town Of Fort Mill at $50

INTERNAL REVENUE RECEIPTS.-Not-
withstanding the fact, says Wash
ington dispatch, that the internal
revenue bureau will operate for six
months of this fiscal year under the
free alcohol act, Commissioner Yerkes
predicts that the total revenues Will
aggregate S260,000,00. He announced
in his annual report that the receipts
for the year ended June 80, were $249,-
102,73S. This was an excess Of almost
SIS, 100000 over the collections of the
preceding year.
The largest amount of revenue was
derived from distilled spirits, ferment-
ed liquors and tobaccos. Dealing with
round numbers, the tax collected from
spirits reached nearly 100000: on
liquors a little over 4,500,000, and on
tobacco a little less than $4S,500,000.
The commissioner says that If a law
is enacted providing a charge of 20
cents a stamp to rectifiers or whole
sale dealers for use on packages sent
ont by them a revenue of over $780,
900 would be derived. He also wants
charge of % cents a gallon imposed
upon all brandy withdrawn for for
tification purposes. He estimates that
this would produce about $1,000,000 per
annum.
Illinois ranks first in the payment
Of taxes, with New York second, and
Indiana. Kentucky Pennsylvania, and
Ohio following in the order named
The smallest amounts come from Ida
no. Maine Mississippi, Nevada, North
Dakota. Vermont and Wyoming.
He reports an increase in the
amount of tobacco and snuff manufac-
tured and in the production Of beer
