Automobiles and Good Roads.

Quite recently, discussing the rap
.dly growing hostility To automobiles
n rural districts. we referred 10 the
sXpedient OF refusing TO repair coun-
,ry roads as one which might be re-
sorted 10 by particularly indignant
communities reduced 10 desperation.
Now We hear from the esteemed
Charleston News and Courier that
his policy has been actually adopted
IN Spartanburg County, one OF the
most prosperous and progressive
aeighborhoods OF South Carolina. or
indeed in the entire South. Our con-
temporary thus states the case:
1.-TWO or three weeks ago the pro-
gressiye county OF Spartanburg re-
iected at the polls "A proposition TO
oond the county for 100000. TO ne
expended in good roads-a result SUR
arising 10 persons familiar with the
spirit that has pressed this division
II the State into it's enyiable and
advanced position. The rejection was
chiefly due 10 apathy, less than 5000
votes having been cast out OF possi-
BILE 5000 or more. hut We are in
formed that the dislike of farmers TO
the automobile was n positive factor
In it, The automobilists. they argued
whlrl through the country, frighten
the horses and mules and make the
highways hateful 10 women and chill
1ren. Good roads will multiply the
machines; why should we tax our
selves for the pleasure OF the rich
while actually breeding nuisanccs for
BUR own annoyance"
II is easy 60 agree with the News
and Courier in characteriZing this
proceeding rs stupid and shortsight-
ed The people of Spart8nburg are
enlightened enough 10 realize the i'm.
portauce OF good roads. Moreover,
they are abundautly able 10 indulge
themselves in that respect. II seems,
however, that they deliberately
choose 10 handicap themselves in the
race for civilized prosperity
Conceiyably the people OF Spartan
burg have concluded 10 refer the
problem TO other communities, mean.

GREAT RUSH OF MANKIND.
II viii Come, French Deputy Says,
When Panama Canal is Done.

Panama was debated in the French
Chamber OF Deputies for fun half
hour the other day, writes the Paris
correspondent OF the New York
Times, and during the entire time
there was not one word about cor
ruption. The fact is worth chron-
icling, for what would have been re-
garded as impossible few years ago
has thus come 10 pass.
NJ. Paschal Grousset was the orator.
He reminded his fellow Deputies that
the Panama Canal was nearing com
pletion and that France was ill-eQuip-
ped 10 take adyantage of the new
epoch about To commence in the his

tally the colonial ports. III for modern
commerce. He suggested that a scicn.
tifc commission he appointed To study
the matter and make a report.
II should be borne constantly In
mind" said the Deputy, that even
before the canal is completed there
will be a rush of all mankind 10 the
parts of the world To which the canal
will furnish a short cut from Europe
to those parts Of Asia for example
which are the richest and most tor-
tile, the easiest to ciyiliZe, and which,
in all probability. are destined TO
bring a new and decisive element

ccivcd with some applause. but did

mcntary action.

Happiness.

Happiness is an inexpensive and
therefore a very common form or en-
joyment.
Happiness and pleasure must not be
confused. Happiness is a sort OF fe-
licitous opiate administered by char
liable Providence 10 those who cannot
afford anything better. Often a per-
son SO poor that he has nothing left
but health and a moderate income
will be foolishly. eXtravagantly, riot
ously happy. Then why begrudge the
rich their pleasure, which would ap-
pear to be the only fun that is left
for them? Is il not fair and inn
partial division?
How ungrateful for any one 10 sug-
gest that pleasure being always pre-
ferred, often carries a bonus OF COM
mon, which is happiness. by reason Of
which the rich get more than their
share! Snch people are not entitled TO
be poor. They should be deprived
of their dope. They should be very
rich.-Walter +. Rice, in Life
