THE NEW ROAD LAW.

Following is what is known as the
Save road law, passed at the recent ses-
sion Of the general assembly. The text
of the law was published at the time
of it's enactment; but we have been
advised that there were certain mac
curacies in the copy used. This, how
ever, is official:
Section /. Be it enacted by the
general assembly of the state of South
Carolina, That for the purpose of work
ing and improving the public roads
and highways in York county, the su-
peryisor and county commissioners OF
said county, shall as soon as practica-
hle after the approval of this act, en-
ploy a competent road engineer to sur
Yey and lay off all the public roads or
said county in sections of from one 10
five miles, post the same, number SAID
sections, make a map thereof, and FUR
nish plans and specifications for the
working and improvement of said sec
ton, and let the same out on contract
for a period Of from one to three years,
which survey and plans shall be COM
pleted by July l, 1909.
Sec. 2. That during the month of
April, 1909, and during the same period
each year thereafter the supervisor
and county commissioners shall award
TO the lowest responsible bidder all con-
tracts. not otherwise let out, for the
Improvement and keeping in repair or
said roads and the bridges over all
bitches and small streams, after adVer-
tisement at least one week in news
paper published in said county. Said
Supervisor and county commissioners
shall require bond from all success
full bidders for the faithful performance
of their contracts.
Sec g. The clerk of the county COM
missiOnerS shall keep detailed ac-
count of all transactions in regard TO
the various sections in book spe-
cially provided for that purpose, which
shall at all times be open to public IN
spection.
Sec. L. For the maintenance and I'M
movement of the public roads ana
highways under the direction of the
supervisor and county commissioners,
and for the building and repair of all
bridges in said county, there shall be
on and after the year 1908. levied, an
annual tax of two (2) mills on all real
and personal property, which shall be
levied and collected as all other taxes
and at the same time. In addition to
above levy of two mills on real and
personal property. for roads and

is not nearly sufficient to support the
Graded school on the scale on which
it has been run. During this year the
trustees had at their disposal the pro-
ceeds of three mill levy not only on
all the property of the present limits
of the district; but on an additional
territory extending one and one-half
miles beyond the old line. At it's re-
cent session the general assembly also
repealed the act by which the addi-
tional territory referred to had been
annexed, and provided that the tax
collected therefrom should be refund
ed to the parties from whom it had
been collected. At the present time the
school district has only IS cents to it's
credit, after the expenditure Of all the
money collected last year from the ter
ritory both outside and inside the pres
ent district. When the trustees comply
with the law requiring the refund Of
the taxes referred to, the amount will
have to be made good out of next
years collections, and the result will
be a still further reduction of the
amount available for the operation Of
the school. Just what is to be done in
regard to the whole matter has not
vet developed.

There was a good rain last night and
from such information as has been OBJ
tainable, it was general. No damage
has yet been reported.
Mr.. w. A. Bolin says it is not the
people who travel the York and Bethel
road that say that Mr.. Robert Wither-
spoons corn is the best in the county
because he has three acres and half
of corn that will beat Mr.. Wither-
spoons to death.
II would take a careful canvass OF
the county to get a satisfactory idea OF
the acreage and condition Of the corn
crop. The Enquirer has made numer-
Gus inquiries from citizens from vari-
Gus parts Of the county; but reports
conflict. Some say that the acreage
has been increased. and others that II
there has been any increase Of acreage
they are unable to appreciate 1T. IL
seems to be pretty generally conceded
that the condition of corn is better than
has ever been known.

- Gaffney, May 1S: Mr.. H. A.

to shoot a negro named Robert Mont
gomery yesterday. Montgomery was
engaged in beating a woman named
Emma Mayfeld near the office, and
the woman called upon Mr.. ParShal
for protection. Parshal ordered him
to desiSt but this seemed to infuriate
the negro more, and he came toward
ParShal beating the woman with Il
rock. Parshar seized small 22-
calbre rifle and shot the negro
through his right arm. He kept ad-
Vancing, however, and Mr.. ParShal
shot him through his other arm. AS
this failed to stop him, he fired two
more shots into him. one in the side
and the other into his back, when the
negro fled The above statement is
contained in an affidavit of the wo-
man whom the negro was beating,
and is also the substance of state
ment made by Mr.. ParShal, who is in
Jail at Gaffney. The negro, while he
is seriously injured, is getting on we'll
and the chances are that he will re-
cover.

The SPECULATIVE MARKET.

The developments in the contract
cotton market throughout the world
yesterday are summarized in an Asso-
ciated Press dispatch of last night as
follows:
The cotton market was not so active
today but fluctuations were broad and
at times showed considerable strength,
with the close steady at net advance
Of 5 to 19 points. Sales were estimated
at 325,000 bales
The market opened firm at an ad-
vance of 9 to II points and before
the upward movement had received
any substantial check had sold 1S to
90 points higher with July touching
9.9S and October 953 This repre-
sented a recovery from the lowest
points Of last Friday Of 53 to G3 points
and was followed by considerable real
izing under which prices reacted dur
ing the middle session. The initial ad-
vance was encouraged by higher cables
than expected, big English spot sales,
and private reports that heavy rain
had fallen in lower Mississippi valley
over Sunday The buying seemed to
be more for short account than in the
way of bull support, however, and
there was heavy selling Of the new
crop months by recent Wall street
bulls. Official weather reports indicat-
ed no such excessive precipitation as
suggested by private reports and this
fact may have promoted the reaction
during the early afternoon which car
ried July off to 9.74, and October to
933. Later there was renewed firmness
on covering by early sellers and July
closed at 9.SS, or about SO points over
October Advices from the south re-
garding spot conditions were generally
bullish, being regarded as partial ex-
planation of the relative firmness in
July and southern markets officially
reported were unchanged to 3-Sc high
er Reports from the dry goods dis
trict were more encouraging and many
buyers are said to be reporting in the
city for the special sales of wash goods
to be held during the week.
Receipts at the ports today 6,283
bales against 1854 last week and $3.50
last year. Today's receipts at New
Orleans 1,6O0 bales, against 1,79S last
year. and at Houston 1928 bales
against 1928 last year.
