PAYS VERY LARGE TAX
First National Bank Helps Swell the
Funds of the City of
Greenville

"a friend i'll need is a friend in
deed is an old but true saying, and
to the city of Greenvilie the First
National Bank assumed the role and
played it to the applause of the en-
tire city when it came forward last
Saturday and paid its taxes for this
year, amounting to about $4,000.
The city has been put to consider
able expense lately in the building of
a new brick FIRE house and the install
ling OF a new pump and addition to
the water works, al outlay of some
$4,000. The treasurer had most of
the funds on hand to meet this in
debtedness and 10 save borrowing
money or issuing bonds to pay the
balance, Mayor Yerger and the clty
clerk, Starring, called upon some Of
the large tax payers of the city to
pay their taxes now. In response to
their appeals the First National Bank
honored itself last Saturday by re-
spending first to the city's iall.

SLURRING THE
FARMER

A Chicago mail-order journal, in
advertising to push the farmers
trade hard while they have plenty of
money says: .The farmers have ac-
CURED mania for buying goods by
mail. They have gotten SO that they
will order almost anything provided
the circular that advertises it is set
up in attractive shape" Recently
Chicago society people held some
sort of rural party. The dress and
actions and talk Of those supposed
to represent the Woodworking hon
est tillers of the soil was more like
the worst characters in an insane
asylum than tof the American farmer.
en- that have made their money
from farmers patronage led the way
Isn't it about time that the ridienle,
slurs and counterfeit representations
of the farmer as a class be stopped?
Metropolitans need not go outside
their own bounds to find the lowest
and most degraded, as we'll as the
| most foolish and ridiculous speei-
mems of humanity. But it is always
'the innocent Rube" the "hay-seed"
that is held up to ridicue. What sort
of an impression does that have puon
the rising generations2 Does it not
| have much to do with encoura ging
movement toward the city by our
| farmer boys and girls? The farmer
can afford to smile at the foolish
characterization. but he cannot afford
to smile at or ignore the inevitable
effect. So long as he jumps at the
| bats of the mail order schemers: SO
| long as he can be hattered by such
addresses as "dear, kind. esteemed,
thoughtful, beloved friend by abso-
lutte strangers, he will find the same
crowd making fun of him behind his
back. Why don't some of the farm
papers call a halt? Are they afraid

1T is therefore safer and saner to
adhere, as President Roosevelt has,
to- the wise policy inaugurated by
George Washington and SO far fofs
lowed by all his successors in Office
There is undoubtedly in this coun;
try an ardent desire for the renomin-
alton and election of Roosevelt, but
the agitation IN favor of third term
would of itself tend to discredit the
sincerely OF President Roosevett's

Blaine in my opening address as

Convention of 1888:

Of disobedience to his expressed

THURSTON ON
THE THIRD TERM

We publish below Ex-senator Jno
NJ. Thurstons letter to the New York
World on the third term idea for
President Theodore Roosevelt The
Senator thinks that the country
s4iould stick 10 the Washington pre-
cedent.
II dc not beiye that our American
tial term Is the result of the peoples
"uathinking sentiment have al
ways believed that one of the great
est acts of George Washington was
countrymen TO continue him in Of
flee third term I have also thought
that one of the most heroie acts OF
President Roosevelt was his definite
announcement, at the beginning OF
what was practically his second term,
that he would not seek or expect a
further nomination or election.
There was no danger from the
continuation of George Washington
as President for third term or for
lie. There would be no danger in
the continuing of Theodore Roose-
welt as President for. another term.
He has given us an administration
which has met the approval and in
dorsement OF the American people,
and that has won the admiration of
the civilized world. George Washing
ton and Theodore Roosevelt, how
ever, both saw clearly that pre-
cedenf OF third term might at some
time be most dangerous to American
institutions, and it is this fear OF
danger-and it is real danger
which has embodied in the unwritten
constitution Of our political ethics the
doctrine Of limiting the Presidential
chair to two terms. The danger
arises because Of the tremendous and
increasing power of the admin stra-
ton with.sifs vast army af office-
holders and IFS admiring and sprne-

GOVERNMENT REPORT

The recenr publication of complete
statistics on the improved and uf1in-
proved roads, of the country by the
Agricultural Department OF orr Gov
eminent will be a revelation to many
who have not kept mp with this part
of the history of the country.
The book is a compilation of infor-
nation from all counties concerning
the mileage OF roads in the 1904 and
the expenditure on roads and bridges
from property and poll taxes, bond is
sues and state funds under state aid
laws, and the amount of value of the
labor expended under the statute La

the United States. OF this mileage
IoS232.o miles were surfaced and
gravel; 3S.6ar.7 miles were stone and
$685. miles were special materials,
such as shells, sand-clay, oil and
brick, making in all I53.6o4s miles of
improved road. From this it follows
that ia per cent of all the roads in
this country have been improved
BY comparing tabe total road mile
age with the area of all the states
and territories It appears that theri
was o.73 sof a mile OF road per sqiiare
mile of territory. A comparison of
road mileage with population shows
that there was one mile of road to
every thirty-ive. inhabitants, and one
mile of improved road to eyery.four
hundred and ninety-two inhabitants.
The e,I5I.s7o miles of public roads
in the United States do not include
roads in Indian Territory. Alaska,
and the island possessions. Indian
Territory and Alaska were not or
ganized by counties ia 1905, and IT
was impossible to secure complete
information from Porto Rico. Hawaii
the PHILIPPINES and Guam. The mile
age of roads given in the tables does
not include streets or boulevards in
incorporated cities or villages.
Georgia has over one thousand
miles of road. Only four states have
more than 100000 miles of roads.
Texas stands first, with I2I.4oo miles

Star. speaking of their exhibition
said:
.Of the thirty-nine teams shooting
at Camp Perry which took place in
the contest OF 1906, only two, Ne
braska and Vermont. failed to in
erase their scores, the former max
ing forty-seven, and the latter seven
ty six points less than. was made by
them last year.
"The Marine Corps team made the
smallest increase, seventy-one points
while the Mississippians topped the
list with a total gain of 83s points.
The team of the District of Columbia
with its 275 points TO the good, was
only able to ascend one point higher
than that of 1906 and was nineteenth
IN the list of increases. Maryland's
sit1ctease of $50 points did not enable
her to overtake the district. although
at the finish it raised her from the
twenty-second to the eighteenth
place. The 3o8 points gained by the
Virgifisns could not pulfsthem out OF
last. place, in which position they end
ed last year also. The Improvement
in the scores Was probably due more
to the fine shooting conditions than
to the ammunition. The keen rivalry
between the eartridge-eompanies and
the claims of superiority Of each over

the results show that the governments
