SOLID FOR WOOL TARIFF.
democrats and Insurgents Get To-
Scthcr Oh Tentative Plan.

Washington, July 26.-Solid sup
port for the House wool tariff re-
vision bill was pledged in caucus to-
night by the Democrats Of the Sem
ate.
The discussion was devoted large
IS, it is said, to the discovery of
some parliamentary method of resus-
citating the LaFOllette wool bill if
the House bill is voted down. The
LaFollette bill will he introduced az
a substitute bill for the House wool
bill.
Then, if the House bill meets
similar fate, and efforts, il is said.
will be made to reconsider the vote
on the House bill " ich. if success
ful, will be followed by reofferirg the
LaFollette measure as a substitute
and by a coalition Of the insurgent
itepublcans and Democrats, passing
it.
This programme is was said to-
night. is entirely tentative and de-
pendent on the willingness of Mr..
LaFollette to submit to sharp modi-
ficatiOn of his measure.
The Underwood wool tariff bill had
its first serious consideration in the
Senate today. The vote on it was
divided. Senator Myers, the new.
Democrat member declared he would
vote for the passage Of the bill as il
came from the House.
Senator Dixon, Republican ex-
pressed the belief that no wool leg
islation should be passed at this ses-
sion of Congress, and that the revi-
sion when taken up, sho lid be based
on the forthcoming report of the ta-
riff board. He declared there. was a
real Joker in the wool tariff bill
BY permitting importers to discard
all the rough parts Of the fleece, he
said, it reduced the actual protection
to American sheep raisers from IN
cents to cents.
Senator Myers said he was ready to
accept the Underwood bill as a fair
adjustment Of the wool tariff and ia
vored Congress remaining here to

GOOD ROADS PLAN ADVOCATED.
How the Funds for Countrywide
System of Good Roads Are to BE
Secured.

The following concise statement
of now the funds for the building of
a complete system of good roads in
Sumter county are to be obtained
will be of interest to the people of
the county, who will vote for or
against the bond issue on August
lst-showing their desire for good
roads and progress or their oppo-
sition TO good roads, better educa-
ion in the rural districts and general
progress in the county:
y bond issue Of $4,000 has al
ready been floated. 1t is proposed
to add to this amount another bond
issue of $I50,0OO. making a total of
100000, to be expended in five
years at the rate of $4,000 a year.
The plan advocated by Mr.. Belser
to take care of the bonds is: Using
the $4,000, already used by the
county for road building and MAIN
tcnance, $500 from the one mill
levy making a total of $21,5OO avail
able for road purposes. OF this
amount the cost of maintenance is
estimated at $4,000, the interest on
bonds at 1-2 per cent. is $4,000.
and the sinking fund amounts to So
500, making a total Of $21, 500.

The adjourned meeting Of the

again last night in the Court House
when Commissioner T.. j. Watson
spoke for about twenty minutes on
the importance Of having good roads.
He had been unable to come to the
meeting in the morning and came
over on the afternoon train for a
short time to say a few words in
favor of having good roads and of
getting them by means of the bond
issue.
He started off his address by say
ing that he had been engaged Tor
the past ten or twelve years in the
hardest kind of constructive work,
and that he well knew the advan-
tages to be derived from good roads
as he had seen them all over Eu-
rope and this country. Everybody
believed in good roads. They were

we'll be trusted with the $4,000 Il
year for road building. He hoped
that the bond issue, as advocated in
his act would pass, and if it did,
FIVE years from now, the county
would have complete system Of
good roads. He spoke urgently in
favor of having a road engineer to
supervise the building Of the roads.
Mr.. Il. |. Manning was the next
speaker after Mr.. Belser. He did
not have a prepared speech, but
he knew that everybody wanted
good roads. The only thing to de-
eide was the best way to get them.
Taxes were not higher now than it
had formerly been, although it
might seem so. Property was re-
turned at only one-fOurth Of its real
value, if that much, and therefore
if the levy was divided by four it
would be found that taxes were not
rs high as they seemed. He was
heartily in favor Of the bond issue.
There was no other method before the
people Of raising the money
that was acceptable. The expense
OF good roads was to be met by a
bond issue or by a direct tax levy.
The bond issue was the best Of
these methods, and it cost the peo-
pie and the county less. He said that
if the people did not vote for one
mill levy they would not vote for
a two or three mill levy. If the di-
rect tax levy was carried this
would be a plank in campaign plat
forms for the next ten years and
