Don't become weary and i'm
patient because we devote good
deal of space now and then to
good roads, street Improvement,
etc. While many newspapers
are speculating at length as to
who will be the presidential nom
inees next year and on the
chances OF war between the Uni.
ted States and Japan, The News
is wrestling with things practical
and in sight. We are working
for the upbuilding of Lancaster
and Lancaster county along all
lines, material, educational, spir
itual and otherwise. 1t will be
time enough to discuss national
politics when next YEARS. cam.
paign opens, and as for a figh,
with the Japs, there is little pros
pect OF such a conflict unless il
be precipltated by the intemper.
ate and indiscreet utterances oi
the press OF both countries.

c. &L.RoAD TOGO TO CHARLOTTE

4 II
1t appears from an interesting
write-up of Cheraw in Mondays
News and Courier that the Ches
terheld IL Lancaster railroad is to
be extended to Charlotte. and
not to Lancaster or to Monroe as
has been generally supposed. =
Time and again we have through
these columns urged upon the
people of Lancaster and the coun-
ty the Importance Of looking
after the extension of this road
to this point if it was really de-
sired that it be brought here; but
we have never been able to arouse
any general interest on the SUBJ
ject, due, probably, to the popu
lar belief that the road would be
built to Lancaster anyway. The
reference to the road in the arti-
Gle referred to is as follows:
in a talk with y0ur correspon-
dent few days ago Superinten
dent A q Page, Of the Chester
field and Lancaster Railroad. said
that it is the intention OF the
company to extend its road from
Crowsberg to Charlotte, n. g.
The Chesterfield and Lancaster.
Road is now 40 miles long and
extends from Cheraw to Crows
berg, a small settlement near the
Lancaster Courty line. The road
passes through the most fertile
part of Chesterfield County and
touches great forests of timber
Twenty-one miles (Cheraw to
Ruby of the road has been in
since 1902, During the
past twelve months 10 miles have
been constructed and Superinten-
dent Page says he has about com
pleted arrangements for the con-
struction of 40 miles more which
will put it into Charlotte. When
the road is completed in that city
CheJaw will have an opening ON
the main line OF the Southern
Railway in addition to the rail
road facilities which it already
enjoys. The Chesterfield and
Lancaster Road is practically
owned by Mr.. A. ii. Page, of
Cheraw. He is the president. -
The road will possibly show an
earning of 13 per cent on the in
vestment of $500,000 this year.

BY no means the least notable
of Lancaster's celebrities is a GER
tain church member whose cheek
has attained to the degree of alb
normally. He goes to church
about twice year--usually y when
he wants to break in a new suit
--and yet he had the audacity a
day or two ago to offer to swap
his fast watch FOR his PASTOR S
slow time-piece, hoping thereby
to shorten the sermons and pray
ers of the beloved preacher. But
the parson was equal to the oc
casion. He told the would-be
watch snapper that he needed
a slow watch in his business
that inasmuch as it was only at
rare intervals he got whack at
him, he wanted plenty of time in
which to give him good dose
while he was at it..

sembly, aud it is provided that
the county supervisor of each |
county shall be one Of the repre-
sentatives. These delegates, with
the exception of the county su-
pervisor, are to be named by the
good roads association of each
county. The terms of the dele
gates from each county are Co
ordinate with the terms OF the
county supervisors of the respec
tive counties. In the absence Of
a branch good roads association
in any county, the supervisor and
county commissioners of such
county may elect or otherwise
delegate the county's quota of
members in the State organiza-
ton"
Every supervisor in the state
is, of course, expected to attend
and as many county commission
ers as can possibly dc so. The
making of good roads is a live
question in a number of coun-
ties in the State. Movements
have been started In Smore than
one county to obtain good roads
by bond issues. Anderson will
vote on the 18th of next month
on "A proposition to issue bonds
TO the extent Of 100000 for
road improvement, and Spartan
burg will hold an election eight
days later to determine whether
5000, 900 in bonds shall be issued
for a similar purpose. Chester
has dec ded to macadamize a
once one of its main highways,
the road leading from the town
to the York line. Sumter is en-
thusias ically working for good
roads. A meeting in the interest
of permanent road improvement
was held in Sumter last Friday
at which every township in the
county was represented. The
business men and the farmers
are working harmoniously to-
gether 60 one end-the establish
ment of good roads throughout
the county, and at Fridays
meeting plans were instituted to
bring about that much desired
result.
Lancaster must join the coed
roads procession. We cannot
afford to lag behind in matter
of such great Importance. Among
the experts who will attend the
Spartanburg meeting is Mr.. f. G..
Black, a civil engineer, Of Rhode
Island, who The State says is an
ardent advocate of the sand-clay
method of road construction. =
Lancaster has both materials in
abundance, and the plan has al
ready been successfully tried in
the Kershaw Esection. LancaS
ter's representatives at the meet
ing in Spartanburg will most
likely get some good ideas from
Mr.. Black and others which can
be put into practical use in this
county.

Her life was adorned by many

About eleven years ago she was
happily married to Willie Buford. 70
them were born five children, two of
whom preceded her to the grave.
She was an affcrtionatc daughtcr

She was called away very mex

knew her believed she was ready for

unconscious for the last few hours of
her life, We have every reason to be-
llcvc she is at rest in heaven.
We laid her remains in the clurc,,

resurrection morning.
