GRAND MASTER BLEASB, I. 0. o. F..
Succeeds Former Grand Master B. F

Moved Out Of the State.

Hon. Cole. l.. Blease has become
Grand Master Of the Independent Order
Odd Fellows of this State by the resig-
nation of Grand Master B. f. Barnes,
formerly of Columbia, but who has
recently moved to Hartwell, Ga.
Mr.. Blease received letter some
days ago from Grand Master Barnes in
which Mr.. Barnes stated that owing to
the fact that he had moved out of this
jurisdiction he had resigned the office of
Grand Master, and that he turned over
to Deputy Grand Master Blease the
duties, books, and papers of the office.
Mr.. Blease was elected Deputy Grand
Master at the meeting of the Grand
Lodge held in Columbia in May, at
which time Mr.. Barnes was chosen
Grand Master.

Col. JOhnStOne on Roads.

The following letter to Mr.. r. II. c..
Hunter, written by Col. George John
stone, explaining Col. Johnstone's alb
sence from the good roads meeting at
Young's Grove, where he was to be
present and to deliver an address, gives
Col. Johnstone's position on the good
roads question::
Hon. r. II. G.. Hunter Prosperity,
S. C.-My dear sir: Until the very
last moment, I was expecting to be
able to be with you at the good roads
meeting close to Nath Young's l was
disappointed, however, and was disap-
pointed at such late hour as | was un-
able to notify you of it, and now |
write to make explanations.
AS late as Thursday afternoon, at 7
O'Clock, | was prepared to come. At
that hour was called up to Greenwood
on a murder case. This ex-
plains my absence; otherwise, / most
certainly should have been present, for
| appreciated the invitation. extended
to me and was exceedingly anxious to
show my appreciation of your kindness.
have taken a very deep interest in
the movement that is now being made
looking to the betterment of our roads.
! am not able to state that view with
appreciation some of the methods that
have been suggested in connection with
this matter but am in favor of such
movements as we can make that will
tend to the accomplishing of the re-
suit. In a speech delivered at Rock
Hill lately Senator Tillman took the
position that whatever improvements
in our road system were to be had,
were to come through our own exer-
tions and could not be accomplished in
any other way. think if we are ever
to have better system of roads we
are to create it ourselves, but do know
that we are backward in the matter
of public roads, that they can be i'm
proved and should be improved, and a
systematic, well-dircctcd system, easily
within our own control, and pcrsistently
adhered to, will bring about the result.
Yours most truly,
George Johnstone.
