Mr.. Editor, I noticed in your paper
last week piece from "La-accoon" which
seemed to say that we don't need a road
from Hunters Chapel to Bamberg, and
that our roads are generally good, also
saying that l scored my fellow citizens
for being "luke warm" in my ignorance;
also mentioning inventions that are be-
ing made. Most people that read about
these pass on them rs have, and would
not mention how / have marked them
I am aware of what is going on around
me, I saw the mail man ON his first trip
on our daily route and mentioned in my
piece that we have such. We are not in
Rural Town; we are just on the Rural
route which passes through Hartzog
We might call this Rural street and pass
it by this way. / did not give any one
in our neighborhood credit for getting
this route up, as it was in my mind that
We did nothing but sign a petition that
some one else carried around, and if it
must be put to some ones credit, let's give
it to some one that deserves it, a man
who is not of our wonderful Rural
Town"
did not score my fellowtewnsmen for
being "luke-warm' and below par in
patriotism in the good roads movement,
but Just asked if some one would take a
hand in this move while the iron was hot
NV dear "La-accoon" said that we have
good roads-yes we have good roads and
our citizens must not be blamed in such
way, but our good roads are good be-
cause we never hear them say anything
bad and they are full of mud puddles,
sand beds, bad bridges, rough roots, and
wash outs. All of these go to make a
road bad. Yet we don't need a direct
road from Hunters Chapel to Bamberg.
When we start to Bamberg we 60 one
way while and then another, 90 through
one mud hole and around one, through
one sand-bed and across one, and after
long time we get to Bamberg almost too
tired to know how to do when we get to
town.
Our neighborhood roads are in travel
ing order, but could be made better if our
good people would work on them soiae,
but our public roads are iii very bad fix
and we need these worked, or throw
these away and make more that some
one will be willing to work. J. r.

be on the night of the Goth Of DecemDef

No Influence Above.

In DR.. John Halls time it was the
custom in his church to use the old fash
ioned, simple hymns, and the singing
was congregational.

singing with all his heart and whispered
to his friend:
"Why, there is Smith singing, II want
to be an angel !" l knew he wanted to
be district attorney, but didn't know he
wanted to be an angel"
The remark was repeated to Mr.. Smith

Wilkes at Rock Hill, was discontinued

have been away at college are at home

their bright young faces among US again.
In fact we would be pleased did they not
have to 60 away at all. These are the
ones upon whom the welfare of this town
and community will largely depend in
future years, and We trust they have
made good use Of the opportunities
afforded by the various educational insti.
