COUNTY COMMISSIONERS.

The regular monthly meeting of the
county board Of commissioners We'd
nesday was devoted mainly to the con-
sideration of claims and the issuance
of orders, and about $1,000 worth of
claims were approved.
The funds of the county are running
somewhat low, as tax collections are
not as proceeding quite so rapidly as
would be the case If there was more
cotton moving.
The committee recently appointed
at Sharon, to confer with the board of
commissioners as to locating a new
road between Yorkville and Sharon,
has not yet secured rights Of way, or
decided upon the most desirable loca-
ton even, and there was nothing tan
gible before the board; but the board
has given the committee to under
stand that 1t will do anything in rea-
son to help improve the situation.

That is quite an interesting letter
that Governor Blease has written the
Bennettsville farmers in response to
the request for an extra session Of the
general assembly to further the pur-
poses of the cotton holding movement.
We are inclined to think that the gov
ernor is right in refusing to call the
extra session; but we do not exactly
agree with all his reasons; certainly
not with that reason in which he sets
forth that only the wealthier class of
farmers would be benefited. If bene-
fit should result at all we think all
classes, people who have cotton as well
as people who have none, would share
in those benefits. A sufficient reason
in our opinion, for not calling the ex-
ira session, would be the certainty Of
the expense and the uncertainty as to
whether the results desired would be
accomplished. In his criticism of the
general assembly for violating the
constitution by fixing its pay at 5000
a session, we agree with the governor;
but really we do not think there is
any danger that a considerable num-
Der of members would have the gall
to ask for 5000 for only few days Of
service. AS to how much effect the
mill merger has had in depressing the
price of cotton. we are unprepared to
say; but that it has had some effect
we do not doubt. The mills have been
doing what the farmers should have
been ing-curtailing-and if the
farmers do not learn this lesson from
the mills they are going to see still
harder times in the future. If there
was good reason to believe that an ex-
ira session of the legislature could
accomplish the results desired by the
Marlboro farmers. then it would be
cheap at 100000; but since there is

If that committee charged with
looking into the matter, succeeds In
locating a considerably better route
between Sharon and Yorkville, and
the route is adopted, a great benefit
will be conferred on the present gene
ration and on generations of the fu-
ture. There has been much improve
ment in the road to Sharon during the
past few years; but that there is room
for much more Improvement is easily
apparent to all who are familiar with
the situation

The assault on the doors of the
News and Courier Office last Wednes-
day by partisans of Mr.. Grace. was
not a very propitious start for the
Grace administration. The News and
Courier opposed Grace and opposed
him quite strenuously; but it opposed
him fairly and violence on the part OF
the Grace people was entirely unjusti-
fed. Right now we predict also, that
the Grace people will have occasion tc
regret this violence.

But Charleston is going right along
with her race track proposition, and
soon she will be noted mainly for the
racing events that will take place
there. 1t is hardly fair to suggest
that the town is going to be any
wider open" than it has been, be-
cause it has all along been about as
wide open as it could be.

Recorder Nash Broyles today to learn

AS the result of last Tuesdays elec-

New Jersey legislature next winter,
3S to 22. This seems to indicate that
Republican Doodle has been too much

the governors chances for the presi-
Dental nomination, we do not know;
but if the country is wise, it will take
the tip and get behind him all the

The Columbia State seems to think
that Notwithstanding the bitterness
with which the primary campaign in
Charleston was waged, that the poll
ticians of both sides will soon be lined
up behind the winner. And we feel
quite sure that the State is correct.
Charleston is really not very different
from any other city. The politicians
there as elsewhere fight like mad for
all that is in sight, and when they fail
to get what they want generally set
about trying to get what they can.

Not only has Mr.. Grace been elect
ed mayor of Charleston. but he will
have a city council a majority Of
whose members may reasonably be
expected to support him fully. He
will have, therefore. every opportunity
to give to the city such an admins
tration as he shall desire. The city
will Judge him from this time on. not

been said of him prior to the cam
paign or that he himself may have
said or done, as by his conduct Of the
city's business as its chief magistrate.
Many and diverse factors contributed
to his success at the polls on Tuesday.
Every man has his own theory as to
just how and why Mr.. Grace won.
The main consideration for the pres
ent, however, is that he has won. and
we hope in all sincerity that he will
use wisely the great powers which
will now be his.
