weather TOR this t!mc OF the year.
Though Spring will soon be here with
all Of its lovclincss, and we can rest as
surcd that "windy March" will not al
ways last. Spring is generally greeted
by everybody with great joy. The
birds are beginning to warble their
sweet melody, and the whippoorwill
can soon be heard to welcome the beau
tifui Spring weather which is drawing
upon us. Farmers are progressing
nicely with their work. Much has been
done towards preparing land fnr this
years crop. All land las been prcpar-
cd in good condition, AMI we feel
confident that our farmers will plant II
large crop this year in corn and other
products, 50 as to make Il living at
home rs near as possible.
Miss Leila Carwilc, one Of our fair

large number Of cattle.
Occasionally we hear complaints
from correspondents concerning the
bad roads, of their respective sec
tions. No doubt but wha' they have
ample room to complain. We don't
SEQ any reason why Anderson County
don't have good roads all over the en-
tire County. Anderson County ranks
foremost in grent many things, and
why don't she have good roads? An
eminent writer snys: "You can meas
ure the civilization of n people by their
roads," We feel justly proud of the
excellent roads of our immediate com
munity, but our good roads are mainly
due to the excellent supervision of our
efficient township supervisor, Mr.. j.
M. Hanks. He is always looking aftor
tho roads and bridges. and never fails
to perform his duty in II c0mmenduble
way. Mr.. Hanks makes Il success of
anything he undertakes, which is in
deed shown by the good roads he has
given us. He is always certain to have

he certainly knows how to manage it,
and put the roads in good condition.
Mr. Hanks well merits the success that

Mrs. j. II. Mcconnell and two chill
dren. after pleasant visit Of three
weeks in our midst with relatives and
friends, returned to their home at Eu-
gle Grove, Ga, last Saturday.
The price Of cotton has dropped
lower chan a good many who have held
their cotton for better prices expected
it would. We know Of several in this
locality VINO could have sold their en- {.
tire crop for ten cents. but fully ex-
pccted the price to advance higher.
Alas. to their sorrow, they will take
less than ten cents.
The County of Anderson and the
proud State of South Carolina should
feel proud ofsuch men IA composed the
Grand Jury. They did crcditnblc and
cnmmendabic work. The free sav-
cry" was bad enough, but nothing tn
compare to the malicious and startling
account of ii given in the Norm i1ney-
ican. Wechnnccd to read this "Ynnkec''
paper, and was amazed at the sight of
such pictures of the sC-called "frec
slavery" negroes. Some who read that
paper will no doubt be led to believe
that we have the slavery system of
forty years ago established. But
Anderson County has some teallrss
citizens who will ever strive to see that
our laws are not trampled under by
men who don't regard the law as any
thing very important.
Peach trees are beginning to bloom.
but we fear that if it etays cold like it
is now for many more days they will b..
all killed.
