byditor, you struck tho keynote
III editorial on public highways
en- you said that it would be far
,/hore profitable for our candidates 20
advocate some plan to permanently bet
ter the condition OF our public high
ways rather than to be talking so
much dispcnsary. This is question
that deserves moro consideration than
our official power has over given it.
improvements on the public highways
is plan that will reach out to benefit
tho whole people, and some systcmat-
ical plan should bc inaugnratcd. For
the past five or six years every time
that the Legislature hus met they have
changed the county government to
some extent, aud II Il man can show me
where there has boon any improvement
made on the law that will amount TO II
cent, except the inauguration OF the
chain gang, land am not too certain
that this Is much of a paying thingl
don't talk around the matter, bnt lot
him como out with figures and show
mp. Tho people are getting tircd OF 80
much liquor log islation. Tho State Of
South Carolina has wasted money
enough along this limo to have mncada-
miZed almost all tho public roads in tho
State, besides build FREQ iron bridges
across the rivers. We arc anxious to
see what change will bo made next in
tho county government. Talk more on
tho subject, Mr.. Editor.
We went down to Little Mountain
last Friday not to give our horn n
blow, but to hear others blow. Our
hand was sore and wouldn't "go-oif" ut
this time, so wc didn't talse any notes,
therefore wo don't propose to make
anything like crcditablc report of tho
day. Some say that tho crowd was
larger than 1t usually has been other
years. Wo listened awhile ut tho
speaking, but the crowd was so noisy
until It WAS very difficult to understand
all that was said 1t scoms that Il
great majority Of the people only at
tend those meetings to meet friends
see and be seen-and have big time
ic general, without paying much attcn-
tion to the speaking. Mr.. O'Ncall
Holloway spoke upon the educated
farmer. According to our views, this
was tho most practical subject on the
programme. Mr.. Holloway handled
the subject we'll. He act forth the i'm
portancc of moro attention being paid
&C. .Ools Of tho land. Mr.. Holloway Ia u
man OF clear mind, quick thought,
and would mako mighty good picco of
Legislative timber. All the rcst of tho
speeches that we heard were very
pointed. Tho estimation that we put
upon tho crowd was about $500. Wo
passed off the day very pleasantly and
met many friends whom we would like
to make mention of would time and
space permit.
There was u large congregation in
attendance Mt Colony church last Sun
day. Our pastor, Rev. w. X. Sligh,
preached one Of his usually good SER
mons from St. Matthew's Gospel. Ilth
chapter and 2o-30th verse. The theme
OF his discourse was upon the mcckncss
of Christ. We need more such sermons
as this. Onr people arc too hanghty-
minded, even among our professcd
Christians. If we are followers OF
Christ we must be humbl, like Christ
The Lords Supper was administered to
q large number OF communicates.
