LAW As TO sIsABoAaDs.
Law Requires 1haa All Public Roads
Shall Be Posted.

There has been some discussion In
several newspapers lately as to the law
recurring the public roads to be posted
with signboards at all forks or crossings.
The law is very clear but 1t is not gener-
ally enforced. Following is the law on the
subject:
sec. 446. Any person or persons who
shall cut down, burn or deface any mile
post or stone, erected by the county COM
county, he, she or they, upon conviction
thereof shall forfeit and pay the sum OF
ten dollars, to be recovered by idictment
or information before any court OF COM
petent Jurisdiction.
"Sec.447. If any person shall wilfuly
demolish, throw down, alter, or deface
any guide-post, every person 80 Offending
SHALL upon conviction thereof before any
magistrate Of the proper county be fined
in sum Of not exceeding ten dollars and
the cost Of suit, or be sentenced to labor
term Of not more than thirty days, and
the money when collected, shall be by the
magistrate collecting the same treasurer.
'Sec 448. The county board OF COM
missioners Of any county neglecting TO
cause the public highways In their county
to be posted and numbered and to have
pointers erecoed at each folk Of said high
ways declaring the direction OF such Mgn
ways shall be liable to pay the sum OF ten
dollars for each and euery said neglect, to
be recovered by indictment in the court OF
general sessions Of the county within
which the same occurs, to be collected and
paid to the treasurer Of such county for
the use Of the county. Proqided, That nc
county commissioner shall be liable tc
said penalty who shall have lis division o
| roads worked"
The civil bode Of South Carolina has also
section bearing upon this which gives
the county commissioner authority tt
erect such sigh boards and charge tn
cost to the county, and the neglect of thit
can be construed by the public to meaI
that they are Indifferent to the convent
ence Of the public. The section is a
follows:
"Sec, 1887. Each road overseer within
his district may erect and keep up, at tn
the expense Of the county, at the folks
and cross roads post and guide-board, o.
| finger board, containing an inscription II
legfble letters directing the way and dis
tance to the town or towns, or puDl1t
places, siturated on each road respect

PELLAeRA.

I Pellagra is caused from eating
musty meal or from immature corn,
the disease may really prevented by a
very simple and inexpensive precau-
ton. Hand mills may be bought for
family use alta cost from three to eight
dollars, A bushel of meal may be
groun in less than an hour, from se-
lected corn. In this way the consum.
er may be positive that no aduiterated
meal or unsound corn comes to his
table. We have urged our hardware
dealers to place these hand mills on
the market and feel sure that satis-
factory results may be obtained.
Sufficient meal may be ground In five
minutes for a days consumptio d.
The saving in tolls will pay for the
trouble and insure fresh meal just when
wanted.
