AS it has been some time since |
have seen anything in the Sentinel
Journal from this town will give you
a few locals.
The convicts with six large mules
and road scrape did some good work
on both of our roads leading from
Easley to Grcanville last week, and it
was not done before needed, for we
will wager a "gingy" cake that John
ME, our R. F. D. boy, has the rough
est roads. over his route OF any the
other boys. If any the buys roads
are any rougher than his, we are sure
they have had to carry the mail on
horseback or footback and walking.
Mr.. Editor. Has the many readers
of The Sentinel. Journal ever thought
about the amount of public roads
there are in Pickens county, and the
amount of bridges to keep up. It is
claimed that Pickens county has more
bridges than any county in the State,
and is one among the smallest. 1t
has mere miles of public road to the
square mile than any other county.
Has less hands and funds, III proper
tion to the amount of roads. Such
being the case, how can we expect the
roads to be put in better condition?
Will some of the readers please give
US the number of mics Of public
roads in this County?
The farmers are very blue over the
poor prospects of the small grain
crop and The bad stand Of cotton.
Those that planted early had to plant
over, and the late planting is doing
no good, but we need not expect it
to terminate when the wind blows as
cool as it has for the past eight or
ten days.
Sugartown was we'll represented at
Cross Roads the third Sunday from
the number of vehicles which left here
in shat direction.
One of the oldest citizens of this
place says be worsbipped at Cross
Roads third Sunday May meetings
over forty-fve years ago, and that
they washed feet then and thinks it
should be practiced yet, whenever the
sacrament is taken; we are not well
enough posted on the scripture to say
whether it should be practiced or not,
but there is one thing connected with
foot washing, that I am acquainted
with, and that is Mrs. -, fthat's
nv wife you know,) talks pretty stout
about taking the poker to me if I at,

Orr election for school trustees
came off last Saturday. Messrs. T.
G. Spencer, W. D. Garrison and S. S.
Jones were the choice of the patrons
and in our judgment a better selec-
ton could not have been made, for
they are competent men, and will
work together for the best interest OF
the school.
Ed. Nalley, our merchant, has calls
right often to visit sick horses. Ed.
knows his business when he examines
sick horse. Unsound corn will
make horse sick but few of US ever
think about it.
We noticed in Easiey Progress that
Esonire J. D. Sitton had had seven
swarns of bees from two colonies.
This scribe has seven colonies and
haven't had swarm since 1901, but
find they are rich, with nice honey
this spring, so if you will stop Mr.
Editor, in passing through our town,
will give you pan cakes with butter
and honey.
If this don't drop into the waste
basket you may hear fsem US again
one Of these days.

W. G.. T. u.
Temperance Reform.

Rarely does onesee all the minis
tiers of town upon the stage on the
same occasion, But such was the
event which actually occurred In
the opera house at Woodsfeld on
last Thursday night. Some time
ago, the Women's Christia: Tenn
perance Union invited all the mt2-
listers of the village to suggest plans
by which local abuses, destructive
of the virtues of good citizenship,
could be either diminished or en-
tirely abolished. 1t was agreed to
hold a public meeting In the opera
house, under the auspices of the
W. c. T. u, at which the minister
of each church In Woods6eld
would deliver a short Adde'S upon
a given subject. with the object of
creating a right public opinion
along the line of true and perma-
nent reform.
The purpose was not to oppose
any lawful business or class OF per
sons, but to condemn that which Is
unlawful and contrary to good
morals In any traffic or amusement
. The intention was to attack the
evil itself, and not the person: tc
ask saloon keepers to eliminate
whatever Is lllegitimate In theil
trade; to work on the consumer:
themselves and win over as many
as possible to change their person
al habits. 1t was felt that all pres
sure should be brought to bear up
on the individuals themselves, who

evils coming from these two

evils coming from these two
sources would soon disappear.
The opera house was filled with
the best and most Influential PEG
pie of the town. They displayed great
sympathy and earnestness In the
movement. No fault could be
found with the speeches Of the
clergy. They were moderate In
tone and conversative In condem
nation. Nothing was asked except
what Is expected by the laws OF the
State and the ordinances OF the
town No extreme or radical views,
nor Utopian Ideas were reached 1t
Is a sad commentary on the kind OF
government Woodsfeld now en-
dures, when the citizens must arise
In a body and demand the enforce
ment of laws which have always
been considered indispensable tor
the keeping of good order.
The speeches of the clergymen
will be published substantially as
they were delivered. Two OF them
will be found In tndav's issue.
Pubic Opinion.
(Rev. Alfred Walls.)
Every town has what we call pub
lie opinion. There Is no town
without 1t. That public opinion
may be good; 1t may be bad; and,
sometimes 1t may be very bad, as
sometimes 1t may be very good
There Is another distinction. II
does not follow that because there
Is public opinion 1t is outspoken
| To my mind the public opinion o.
Woods6eld Is weak chiefly because
II Is silent; 1t Is scarcely uttered
except privately as between con-
fdential friends. We all want Law
aud order. We say so too quietly
We lack courage. We art
not all of the persuasion
that 1t Is advisable to speal

Ostriches.

There are about 1000 oStriches
in America. These are on two farms
in southern California. The annual
feather crop of these birds when
manufactured and ready for market
is worth about 100000. Ostriches
have sold as high as $4,000 for a
single pair. There are no ostriches
now for sale In the United States.

course, the fewer voices OF those
who do speak, prevail. The real

this present, examine your OWL

vulgarity Is driven back and OBJ

ance? You are not always willing

community as that. We are not

stand to champion 1t, but we are

the Magyars are in an infnitesimal mi

moment that the Croats and the Rou-
manians in Pennsylvania learned of the
steps taken by Hungary to secure the
adoption of the Magyar language in the
Hungarian moiety of the common army,
they proceeded to petition the En-
peror TO deny any such concession,
pointing out that it's object was to
Magyarize Croatia and Pennsylvania,
which are autonomous provinces subject
to the Hungarian crown, and that II
was a blow aimed at their nationalist
sentiments and traditions.
Emperor Francis Joseph was quick to
appreciate the intolerable conditions
which would result from his giving way
to the Hungarian demands on the subject
OF the language question. and according
ly issued a general order to the army
dated from Chlopy, in Calicia, where he
was attending the maneuvers. and in
which he declared his determination TO
reject the demands OF his Hungarian
subjects, and his refusal to consent TO

The Emperor's Purpose.

The Emperor's object in issuing this

in the event of his having made its con-

Hungarian Nationalists would have

have been attacked. II was this that
served 10 additionally exasperate the
Magyar Nationalists, and still further
fuel was added to the flame by the en-
thusiasm with which the general order
was received throughout the length and
breadth of Austria. not only the reichs-
rath at Vienna but also the provincial
diets expressing unqualified approval
thereof. while the Austrian prime min

the compliance by the Emperor with
Hungary's demands would have grave

In fact no little OF the bitterness
which now prevails in Hungary on the
subject OF the Emperor's attitude with
regard to the language question NAV
be ascribed to the demonstrations OF
satisfaction which have been evoked
everywhere else in the dual empire by
this extreme limit Of the concessions
which he was prepared to grant to the
Magyars. II cannot be denied that
these concessions have been sufficiently
numerous TO call forth iIl-wfu in

noticeable decrease in their living ex-
penses will be evident Upon joining
the association members contributed IS
to create a fund with which to equip
the kitchen.
With this money two large ranges and
dishes Of every description have been
purchased; also other articles neces-
sary TO the culinary department. In the
dining room each family furnishes the
table linen, dishes, and other articles
for its own use. In several cases where
two families are small. both have oc-
cupied the same table. All expenses

cooks and mattresses are then borne
pro rata by the members. There will
be considerable curiosity to know
whether the experiment can be made a
permanent success.-Buffalo CONNER

LIBRARIES
OF IRISH ORIGIN

Though it is the popular idea that
public Libraries are of modern origin,
there is proof that the Anglo-Saxon
kings of England were disposed TO erect
them, and works were brought from Ire
land. where sciences had been much
earlier cultivated than in Great Britain.
But the invasion of the Normans
stopped the spread or Libraries, and the
first in England after the conquest was
established at Oxford, in Durham (now

fury by Richard de Bury who purchased
from thirty to forty volumes Of the
Abbot OF st. Adams for fifty pounds
weight OF silver. Before that time books
were kept in chests. and not in room

At the end Of the seventeenth century
there were only six public libraries
in Great Britain. The first circulating
library was founded by Allan Ramsay.

seventy years nearly every town and
