General Scott to the White House
and asked:
General Scott, why is it that you
cannot march into Richmond, a dis
tance of a very few miles, with a
hundred thousand men at your back,
when you were able to march thou
sands of miles with a few thousand
men at your back and right into the

"Mr President" replied General
Scott, "the men who carried me into
the city of Mexico are the men who
are keeping me out of Richmond"

The Good Roads Meeting.

Eveeywhere over the State the
question of good roads is being
agitated as never before and with
politicians who keep their ears to
the ground the subject of good
roads is as popular as equalization
of taxes and the other old stand
bys. The waves of influence from
the centre of agitation have even
reached old Williamsburg, whose
local arteries of trade have for
years been a target for the lcsts
and gibes Of more favored coun-
ties in that respect. But bright
er day is dawning for us. The
very fact that we recognize our
deficiency is long step toward
amelioration of existing condi-
tons. How much vital, practical
interest exists among our people
will be fairly indicated by the at
tendance at the good roads rally
on the 2Sth of July, when the
highest authority on road-building
in the United States, possibly
will I've in Kingstree to tell us
how to make our highways better
the maximum of benefit with
the minimum of cost. Reader,
are y0u sufficiently interested
to induce NOu to attend this
meeting? If not, we fear the

terrific caloric in big Northern
citieS-New York, for example
where human beings swarm in
hives like bees aud the weaker
ones perish like flies. In New

the heat, while ten other more for,

People Of our town have great
cause for thankfulness for the ex-
cellent health they enjoy as COM
pared with other towns in the
State. On every hand we hear
of disease and death and the
terrible scourge, typhoid fever,
claims many victims. If there is
a single case of typhoid fever in
kingstree, or any other kind, for
that matter, we do not know Of
it. Truly this is a health record
to he proud Of. Good health is
the best asset a town can have
and possibly no community in
South Carolina is more blessed
in this respect than kingstree.

Death of Mr. c M Richburg.

Greelyville, July l0:-Mr Charles
M Richburg, a well-known merchant
and farmer whose home was a few
miles from this place on the Coleman
road, died Tuesday, June %, at the
Sumter infrmary, where he had been
taken for treatment fortnight be-
fore. He was taken seriously i'll on
June 13 and everything possible done
to restore him to health, but all ef-
forts were vain.
Mr. Richburg was about 81 years
old and was bachelor. He leaves
four sisters and two brothers as his
nearest relatives to mourn his loss.
He was well-known and successful
business man of kind heart and af-
fectionate nature and will be sadly
missed among those who knew him
best.
The funeral service was conducted
at the residence of the deceased by
Rev R L Grier, pastor of the local
Presbyterian church, on Wednesday,
June 29,a 6 o'clock p m, and the
remains were inferred at the family
burying ground near by.

with any such tommyrot. 1t has
been repeatedly stated, and we
have never heard of its being
disputed, that the tariff on lumber
for which two of our Congress
men voted, advanced the price of
ali kinds of lumber $50 a
thousand feet. That being the
case, Mr. Lever should explain
why if it has caused them to
paw tribute to the trust on every
house built during the past year,
the lumber tariff does not cost
the people of this State one
cent?" If the tariff didn't ena-
BILE them to raise the price of
lumber, why did all the saw-mills
of any consequence send men to
Washington to work on their Com
gressmcn in order to influence
them to vote for the tariff?
We hope to hear this point
and others fully discussed before
the campaign is over. The people
have a right to know the facts.

Levers Lame Defense.

Congressman Lever, in trying to
wriggle out of his vote for tariff
on lumber, which played into the
hands of the lumber trust, says
that the tariff on lumber put
three million dollars into the
treasury of the United States, not
one cent of which will come from
the people of South Carolina. y
Surely Mr. Lever does not expect
to fool the voters of his district

The most revolving feature OF
the slugging mill at Reno, Neva-
da, which has been almost ig-
nored in the press reports, was
the presence of Johnson's white
wife at the ring-side. According
to our recollection, several years
ago when Johnson came into the
lime-light he put away his lawful
black spouse and tied up with a
white skinned wench who stood by
during the fight seeking on the
burly black against one of her
own race and color. Such a wo-
man would be scorned by the
respectable element of both races
in the South, being nothing more
than worthless parasite.

children gather daily to while
away an hour or two at a trifiing
expense. Many of these places,
supposed to be reputable, show
pictures more lewdly suggestive
than the scenes presented in the
lowest theatrical joints" of the
"tenderloin' districts of our big
cities and it is surprising that
steps have not been taken long
since to eliminate the evil tend
encies of these immoral exhibi-
tions. The agitation to suppress
the Jeffries-.Johnson fstic fiascO
may be the entering wedge of a
too long dormant public sentiment
that will force officials, however
derelict heretofore, to take definite
action toward regulating these
vicious resorts, which bid fair to
become training schools for crime.
