LET US HAVE GOOD RO4DS.

Elsewhere is published in this
issue a call for a meeting of the
justices Of the peace of Scot
land Neck, Palmyra and Rose
meath townships in Scotland
Neck next Tuesday, to consider
certain matters pertaining to
the Improvement of the roads
in these townships.
Nothing more properly claims
the attention Of justices Of the
peace than the interests Of the
public roads. They compose
the board Of road supervisors
in their respective townships
and the care Of the roads is a
responsibility which rests upon
them.
Something has been said
about combining the funds of
the townships of Scotland
Neck. Palmyra and Roseneath.
If by doing so the roads in
these townships can be improv-
ed without undue increase in
the expense Of the work, by all
means let it be done.
The people of the county pay
a special road tax and they are
entitled to the best public roads
that can be had by the wise and
prudent expenditure of the
funds SO raised.
The COMMONWEALTH does not
presume to suggest any plan
whereby this can be done, fol
the Justices of the peace in the
townships are fully capable OF
the high and important service
that rests with them in these
matters. We wish only to en-
phasize the suggestion thai
the people should have the very
best from the available fund:
possible, and they will approx
of such action by the board O
road supervisors.

4 well-known authority or Rheu-
matisn gives the readers OF a large
New York daily paper the following
valuable, yet simple and harmless
prescription which any one can easily
prepare at home:
Fluid Extract Dandelion, one-half
ounce; Compound Kargon, one ounce;
Compound Syrup Sarsaparilia, three
ounces.
Mix by shaking well in a bottle,
and take teaspoonful after each
meal and ct bedtime.
| He states that the ingredients can
be obtained from any good prescrip-
ton pharmacy at small cost, and, be-
: ing of vegetable extraction, are
harmless to take.
This pleasant mixture, i taken
regularly for a few days, is said to
overcome almost any case Of Rheu-
matism. The pain and swelling, if
any, diminishes with each dose, until
permanent results are obtained, and
without injuring the stomach. While
there are many so-calied Rheuma-
tism remedies, patent medicines, etc,
some Of which do give relief, few
really give permanent results, and
the above will, no doubt. be greatly
appreciated by many sufferers here
at this time.
Inquiry at the drug stores Of this
neighborhood ELECTS the information
that these drugs are harmless and
can be bought separately, or the

ferred to Latta, S. C. Mr.. Harrel-
son was a good business man, ex-
tremely courteous to the public, at

highly recommended.
We are sorry to report the death
Of Mrs. George Shearin on Wednes-
day night, Feb. Is, Of pneumonia, at
her residence about four miles west

estimable woman and had a large
circle Of friends who esteemed her
for her worthy character. She leaves
her husband, five soss, and two
daughters TO mourn their loss.
Rev. 4. 6. Wilcox filed his regu-

gave a very enjoyable supper for
the benefit Of the window fund last
Thursday evening from 1880 to 10.
They called together ell Of US poor
1nortals, pushed us up to the wall,
placed our heads against a measur-
ing rod, while Dir. J. L. Weller called
out the feet and inches OF our heig hts.
Miss Nell Nelson was close at hand
with the treasury box, receiving and
depositing the cash. No one was al
lowed TO escape the rod, and each
one had to pay for his height, 5
cents for each foot, and one penny
for each additional inch and frac-
tional part thereof. The funniest
part Of it was that the towering si2,
footer paid only 50 cents, while the
poor little fellow who was only 5
feet II IL inches had to pay 81 cents.
The supper was free, and consisted
Of chicken salad, beaten biscuit, hot
coffee, jello with whipped cream and
