Good Cotton Crop.

South Carolina farmers. are partic-
ularly fortunate this year as shown
By the figures Of the agricultural
department on the cotton crop. Her
crop is almost up to normal, while
that in the whole South is nearly
three million bales short. Orange
burg county shares in this p-osperi-
ty. as her cotton crop was about as
good as any other county In the
State

BURNS IN BARN.
ST Williams Meets Death in Fire
Near Florence.

81 Williams. an old negro, well
known around Florence, as he has
been hauling lumber into the city
from country mills for some time,
was burned to death Friday night
In J. F. Stackley's barn, on his place,
about eight miles. from town. Mr.
Stackley lost several bales of cot
ton, besides his barn and stable. His
whole loss q mounted to about $500.
The information received by MIR.
Stackley concerning the old darkey
was to the effect that he had been
found drunk in the road near the
barn and that he had been put in
side the building to keep him from
freezing. 1t is thought that the ne
gro, waking in the night, struck
q match, which ignited the cotton,
and that ne was unable to get out
of thebuilding.

There ought to- be some man IL
South Carolina big enough and In
earnest enough to lead in the move
ment for good roads. and when he
appears he will acknowledge, as all
must who were present at the meet
ing in Orangeburg that the be-
ginning Of this new campaign was
really instituted there. Having
abandoned the bottle, let US take up
the building Of good roads for the
Improvement Of the State.

durance runs and their long dis
tance efforts have undoubtedly had
the effect Of stirring the people OF
the country to practical appre-
citation of the practical benefits OF
good roads.
Three years ago 1t would have
taken from ten to twelve hours to
make the journey from CharlessoS
to Summervilie In an auto-car, .nd
probably week to haul the machine
back to the city by team OF en-
durance mules; now the journey
with the road only about half com
pleted as it ought to be, can be
made In an hour and q half with
the greatest ease and In perfect safe
ty and comfort. Two days ago
run was made from Charleston to
orangeburg by string of automo-
biles, q distance of about 7S miles,
In little more than fsiE honrs, .ss:ss and, 9
the run back TO sarissson 6ys 2, 2,
somewhat difHerent rohte tes vas MADE
in about Ave hours. i the roads
were rebuilt in places and well sur
faced with gravel and we'll drained.
so that 1t would always be above
high water, 1t would be practicable
to make the run from Charleston to
orangeburg in three hours without
speeding. If the public road between
orangeburg and Columbia should be
rebuilt and we'll drained. and well
graded, as It will be soon. or late.
it would be an easy journey to make
the run from Charleston to the State
capital in three and half or four
hours without running any risk and
in the greatest comfort. The peo-
pie of all the towns and counties,
between Charleston and Columbia
are deeply interested In the con-
struction Of good roads between the
political heart OF the State at Co
lumbia. and "our matchless seaport
at Charleston" as Commissioner
Watson called it the other night IN
his admirable address.
The times and democrat. [volume] (Orangeburg, S.C.) 1881-current, 1909-12-14

What is needed is the adoption by
the legislature of a public road
building plan and the creation of
4 State highway commission to car
~ out this plan, not in year or
in two years not with dab here
and there. not by filing up bad
hole" In the Four-Hole Swamp
country, but on well thought out
scientific scheme which will give to
tie State comprehensive system
oS public highways capable of ac-
eonmodasing V9e business iof the
State from the mountains to the
sea. The 6rst OF the pathfinders
in South Carolina did some very
good engineering work as to routes
and distances. but they did not know
how to build good roads as the Ro-
mans did and as the experts OF the
present day are doing. 1t Is not
thing of which we can be very
proud that in the county of Charles
ton, after more than two hundred
years CT the highest civilization in
the world, there are only about
TOO miles OF public roads, including
thirty miles that have been surfac-
ed with shells and about ten miles
with cement gravel. In addition, of
course, We have about sixty miles
OF 80 Of Belgin blocks and about q
mile of asphalt roadway in the city
of Charleston. In the county of
Mecklenburg, North Carolina, be it
said TO our shame and to the glory
OF the Descendants" in that county,
there are almost as many miles Of
nacadam roadway as there are total
miles OF any sort of public roads
in the imperial county of Charles
ton.
This is the time to strike for bet
ter roads. The people in all parts
OF the State are taking notice. :"
There was never @ better time than
for some member of the legislature
of statesnenlike material to make
himself famous by leading in the
good roads movement, not with the
hope of getting office-that might
come. and would come. later as sure
ly as the sun-but with the purpose
Of doing a great big thing for the
benefit Of all the people of the State.
We have not taken much stock in
she grand touring of the automo-
Ole owners and makers, because
Of the very distinct flavor OF adver-
Using about much of their work,

But the meeting will have been
held in vain il those who took part
in its deliberations do not go to
work now in dead earnest to carry
out the plans which were SO happily
agreed upon. The road will not
build itself. It can't be built with
out taxation, aud withs"a good deal
of taxation. It ought to be built
by taxation of the whole body of
taxpayers, because 1t will benefit
every man. woman and child in the
territory through which the road
will run. 1t will make it easier for
the farmer to get his produce to
market. 1t will make communica-
ton between the people in the ooun-
try and in the towns easy and COM
Portable. II will lead to the deVel-
opment of tens Of thousands Of acres
of waste lands. 1t will increase the
desirable population Of the State.
1t will enhance the educational IA
cilities Of the State. 1t will result
in the drainage of vast stretches OF
territory that have been abandoned
because they are uninhabitable on
account of disease-breeding insects
and stagnant water. 1t will add to
the productive area Of the State sew
eral hundred thousand acres Of the
best land in the State, and would
pay for itself ten times over in the
improvement OF our business con-
ditions and the actual values II would
add to the taxable property Of the
State.

The spirit Of the people was ex-
hibited in q most gratifying way at
Orangeburg Wednesday night upon
the arrival of the "pathfnders" from
Charleston, as they have been call
ed, and Berkeley and Dorchester
and Lexington and Calhoun and Co,
lumbia. There were at least hVe
hundred of the most substantial and
public-spirited men in the State at
the meeting, and one-third of the
number were visiting delegates bent
upon making fair start in the WORK
of building up the highways OF the
State. A more intelligent, alert and
progressive body of citizens has neV'
er assembled in this State, and the
splendid people of Orangeburg were
more than equal to the tax upon
their hospitality. After. free dis
cussion that lasted beyond midnight
a plan was agreed upon unanimously
for the opening of a through high
way Of the best construction between
Charleston and Columbia. The
legend on the badge with which
everybody at the meeting was tag
ged read ,"Ail Roads Lead to Or
angeburg,". and with the amendment
.t.,; Do,5, r ood Th rough Orange
burg to Charleston" the motto was
adopted nem con. We have never
seen such meeting as that at Or
angeburg in Charleston to discuss
any subject Of material importance
to this community, and we do not
believe that any such meeting was
ever held at any other place in this
State.

DEATH OF MISS DU FIEF.
Venerable Occupant of "Rose Cot
taee' to Be Buried Tomorrow.

The funeral of Miss Elizabeth Du Fief.
who died at her home. 1890 18th street
northwest Tuesday night, will be held at
10 o'clock tomorrow morning. The serv-
ices will be performed by Rev. Father
Michigan of st. Patrick's Church. The
interment at Mount Olivet cemetery will
be private.
At the time Of her death Miss Du Fief
was ninety-five years old. and most Of
her life was spent in the old house at
the corner of 18th and L streets in
which she died. The house Is one of
the oldest residences In Washington. and
was long famous for the beauty of the
garden which surrounded II. 1t was
known as Rose Cottage" and was one
OF the show places of the city.
High box hedges and borders and pro-
fusion Of roses and other flowers made
Miss Du F,efs garden a place of rare
beauty. Flowers were the passion OF
her life She went out little in her
later years. and gave her entire attention
to the garden. spending a great deal Of
time out of doors.
Some time ago the District government
decided to condemn the property for
school purposes. but the proceedings were
held up by Miss Du Fiefs nephew. Charles
Fowler. until this spring. The transfer
was to have been made In May. when
Miss Du Fief, If she had lived. would
have been compelled to give up the home
she had occupied for half century.
