Yorkville, 8. c.
Drive for
Good Roads

Don't be slow. Cemeteries are the
place for dead people. The country
needs citizens who are trying to excel
| their ancestors and their neighbors.
Our neighbor, Mecklenburg county,
has forged to the front on GOOD
ROADS. Why should other counties
not profit by their example and excel
them In results? Notice the equip
ments for ROAD improvements in An
derson, Greenville, Spartanburg, and
other counties. The towns over the
state which have GOOD ROADS and
electric car service are growing in
population and Importance fastest. 1t
Is just as easy to be In front as 1t Is
| to be in the rear, II you start In time
II we expect good citizenship, we must
improve what we have and offer in
ducements to wide-awake people from
abroad. The world Is open for i'm
provements in all lines. We are all
more or less imitators. See how the
Japs have improved by sending ex-
pert inspectors to investigate and car
ry new methods home for improve
ments. When we go visiting we usu-
can be caught from the most ignor-
ant. Laws, morals and character
should be improved to restore conf
dence which is badly needed. Too
much protection for rascality. If you
want to see whether there are good
house-keepers around, notice the
lamp globes. II you want to see
whether a town is under good man
agement, notice for piles Of litter and
waste. II you want to know whether
a man is careless, notice his office, the
cuspidors, and see IL the stairsteps
are swept around him. If you want
to Judge whether a farmer is success
full, notice the condition of his stock
and buildings. Live people don't let
the dust get too deep around them.
This office wants to help keep the dust
off you by handling your PROPERTY
AND PROPOSITIONS. There are
plenty Of people all over the country
to ask questions and then go to sleep.
We will thank them to do the Sleep
ing before they apply to us. Questions
are alright in their place, but they
are a poor thing to get rich or happy
on. Say something that will benefit
you and the other person. Look over
the following list. If you see anything
to suit you, say what 1t Is worth to
you. And II you don't see what you
want, call FOR 1t. II you have proper
ty you want to sell, be sure and add
1t to our list. II parties who want to
buy know their own interest, they
will be sure to call on us from the
fact that we carry the largest assort-
ment in our line in the state.
