LIKE good business men, the county
commissioners are beginning at the
foundation of the proposed system of
good roads for St. Lucie county, by ar
ranging for surveys, investigation Of
local sources of material, estimates of
cost and the obtaining of such data and
in formation as is necessary in planning
for a complete and economical system
of good roads. As will be seen in our
news columns the power to arrange for
these surveys and estimates has been
delegated to the committee appointed
by the good roads mass meeting. This
seems to be wise step, as this COM
mttee, composed Of representative cit
liens of the county, was appointed
specially for the purpose Of drafting a
special bonding law and making recon-
mendations to a future session of the
permanently organized good roads asso-
citation. While the initial expense of
hard roads is somewhat heavy, yet no
one doubts that as a practical business
proposition they pay for themselves in
a few years both to the county by in
creasing valuations and to the individual
by reducing cost of transportation and
bringing markets nearer the producer.
And a few hundred dollars spent now
in making estimates and obtaining in
formation means the saving Of thou
sands of dollars when the work is being
done.

to the board this week and a resolution
was passed to the effect that II the
costs were not paid by the complain
ants within a period of thirty days the
attorneys We're authorized to take such
action as was necessary against the
bond Of the complainants.
1t is rumored that the end of the suit
is not yet reached, and that the com.
plainants solicitors, Knight \ Bray,
will at an early date, show cause why
the commissioners should not build a
county Jail at Fort Pierce, but, perhaps
with other compliments than MeSSrS.
Rcou and Hoke. This however Is not
a certainty, for it will no doubt be Diff
cult to find persons sufficiently inter-
ested in a restraining order to furnish
the necessary bond which would un-
doubtedly be larger than the present
one Of 81 900, as the costs Of another
injunction suit would far exceed the
recent one and the liability for dam
ages be greater.
At present there appears nothing in
the way of the erection Of the Jail for
ST. Lucie county, and the contractors
commenced operations early Saturday
morning and the construction will be
pushed with all possible speed

and the bill Of complaint dismissed by
Judge Jones, Of Titusville Two mo-
tions and demurrer were presented
to the court for argument, but the
Judge, after hearing the reading of the
demurrer to bill of complaint, the de-
murrcr, the motion to dissolve the in
junction and the motion to dismiss the
bill of complaint, at once eliminated all
unnecessary procedure and took up
first the latter motion. After argu-
ment on it merits the motion was sus-
tanned, and as a matter of course the
injunction was dissolved. This did away
with the necessity of producing any of
the numerous aflidavits in possession of
the attorneys to sustain their points.

Blease Renewed His Attack On
Senator Manning. Accusing Him Of
Inconsistency. and Quoting From
Nj. Mannins's Record in the House
and Senate.

Columbia, July ".-The campaign
meeting here today was divided into
two sections, and all-day sucker and
night matinee for Senator Iillnan's
special stunt. There We're some good
speeches at the day sessions, particu-
larry those of Senator Blease, General
Younlans and Mr.. John Mcmahon.
Nh Bleasce unmasked his battery to-
day He did not use a stiiIetto, but
got right out into the open and used
his sledge hammer on Senator Man
ming. It is very evident that Mr..
Blease has gotten out his sledge ham
mer for use on Mr.. Manning, as he
welded it evidently against Mr.. Man
ming, no doubt counting him as
worthy meat. One Of the slaps that
Mr.. Blease directed against Mr.. Man
ming was that the backbone Of the
Raysor-Manning dispensary bill came
from the workshop Of Senator Till
man and that it came typewriter
from Senator Tillman to the dispen-
sary caucus. This was the statement
yet undenied.
Senator Manning took a turn out Of
Mr.. Martin F. Ansel by asking him
wherein was his consistency in deny
ing the option Of hgh license when he
favored each county acting for itself
when he was so insistent in advocating
couny action.
Gen. Youmans loses none Of his real
eloquence with his ripening age. He
made a ringing speech and received
real applause. Mr.. Lyon shows that he,
too, can steam up and hit out from
the shoulder when so inclined, and he
did so today.
