The Baptist Entertainment.

The entertainment blythe ladies Ct
the Baptist Church, at the residence
of Mr.. and Mrs. Jno. f. Howell. on
Friday evening, was a most enjoya-
BILE affair and, while the WEATHER of
the forepart of the day ~interfered
with the carrying out of the original
program, everything passed off nice
ly and the ladies consider them
selves well repaid for their trouble.
The singing and Rotations by the
Misses Rosenbaum, the playing by
Miss Annie Mae Jack, the singing
and recitations by the little nieces
of Mr.. and Mrs. Max RaQlI. and all
other individual features, were most
excellently rendered and the audi
ence apparently appreciated it
greatly.
The ladies Melted something over
$4,000 from the entertainment.

home near Giles postoffice, of Mrs,
Peggie Taggart, wife of Mr.. N. M.

reared just over the Alabama line,

marriage was a Miss McCaskill. She
was a true and faithful wife, a low

Christian woman. To the bereft

reparable, and in their trouble they
have the sympathy of all.
The remains were brought to town

at the Presbyterian Church, con-
Quoted by the Rev. Jas. G. johnson,

Whittier Are We Driftingp

Mr.. EDITOR: o.
viii you give us space in your pa
per, that we may be Informed of the
cause Of our financial burdens being
so heavy? Is it that we are growing
50 wealthy that it is unnecessary to
practice economy in our county's
affairs? How is it that, in the en-
hancement of property values all
over the State and the increase of
valuation of the assessment of last
year in %ourcounty erone hundred
thousand dollars, our taxes were
raised to 143 mills, and then not suf-
ficient to pay off the eounty's in
debtedness? This looks like the
times in the '70s, when Il taxes
became too burdensome to bear even
when the valuation of property was
low.
1t is claimed the court costs under
Judge Cochran's administration
have been greatly reduced, and that
the fine and forfeiture funds will al
most pay the costs of the last few
sessions of the court.
We have a fund known as the
public road fund, created by a tax
on all persons subject to road duty
from Is to 80 Years of age, and to be
used forthe use of public roads only.
The public roads are in 81 worse con-
dition in the Northeastern part of
the county than they were before
the contract system was adopted.
All that part of good roads made by
nature, with only drainage necessa-
ry, have been ruined by artificial
scraping, and narrowing to the point
in places that vehicles cannot in
safety pass. That part of the road
requiring good work, drainage and
elevation, has been neglected, to the
great injury of the travelling public.
Bridges upon the highways have
been neglected, SO. at times, to be
dangerous in transporting commod-
tiles over the same. Where does
the trouble lie? We don't know;
we ask for information.
The most important office to the
people OF any county in the State is
that of County Supervisor; upon the
Board deyolves the most responsible
duties, for they are the guardians of
the public welfare, and control the
peoples money in every expendi-
ture. Every dollar spent should be
p%roftably invested, and the people
should see the benefit and feel the
results. Every member of the Board
should keepin consultation with the
taxpayers, and practice economy
to the greatest interest of the public
good. We should elect tn most
competent and best qualified men,
with good Judgment, for these i'm
portant and responsible places.

Robert L. Thomas.

We this week present, in the pro-
per place, the name of Mr.. Robert l..
Thomas for the Office of Justice OF
the Peace in this, Northeast, Beat.
Everybody hereabouts knows Bob
Thomas, and little, if anything, can
be said to his detriment. Born and
reared within a few miles Of the
town Of Seooba, he has, since reach
ing manhood, continued to reside in
the same section, respected and hon
ored by his fellows.
Mr.. Thomas is a conservative, con-
scientious citizen, and We believe, if
elected, will make a good official.
