appropriate for the Thanksgiving services
which were held in the religious meeting
houses of the little colony.
In the first days of the first settlement Of pill.
grms at Plymouth Rock they had little vii
lage, with the houses constructed of hewn
planks. There were gardens incosed behind
and at the sides with other rough hewn planks
These fences stockades that served as
a protection against sudden attacks and the
crude defenses thus arranged were reinforced
by three heavy wooden gates at the ends Of
the streets. In the center. on cross street,
stood the colonial governors house. Before
this was square inclosure. upon which four
streets. On surrounding hilltop they had
large square house, with fiat roof. This
structure was made of the customary thick
plankS of rough hewn timbers, like the mas
sive American log houses of later times. The
planks were stayed or braced with oak beams,
upon the top Of which they had six cannon,
which shot iron balls of four or five pounds and
had commanding sweep of the surrounding
country. The lower part of this building was
used for church, in which religious services
were held on Sundays and the usual holidays
The pilgrims were called to the services In
this church with beat of drum and each man
caiae with his misket and fSelock. While at
worship they rested on their firearms. They
wore their cloaks and stood three abreast, with
n sergeant-major IL command. Behind came
the governor in a long robe; beside him, at
the right hand was the preacher, with his flow
ing cloak on and on the left hand was the
captain, his side arms pendant and a small
cane in one hand.

"Send E d Smith to the Sem
ate---Sone Good Reasons
Why He Should Repre-
sent South Carolina in that
Distinguished Body"

Some OF the politicians have charged
that Hon. T.. ID. Smith has used the
Southern Cotton Association as means
of riding into Office, but the thinking
man. the farmer-the real producer of
wealth and even the business man,
must admit that the WORK done by T..
II. Smith throughout the South and in
South Carolina particularly, has brought
more money To the farmer, the merch-
ant, the doctor, the lawyer and to every
other class than that of any other man
who has eSpouSed the cause OF the
south His work has brought RESULTS;
the increased price of cotton which Mr..
Smith and his associates are largely re-
sponsible for bringing about, has made
the people of South Carolina-all of
thcm-more prosperous than they have
ever been before.
Mr.. Smith attended the University of
South Carolina and is an alumnus of
ters degree at Vanderbilt University,
the great Methodist institution of the
South.
He comes of distinguished ancestors,
being a brother of the lGmented Bishop
\. Coke smith.
Mr.. Smith is an orator of national re-
pute and would be able to hold his own
with the giants of the Senate.
With Smith in the United States SEN
ate, South Carolina would again come
into her own and be heard from by
the rest of the country. Mr.. Smith has
world of energy; he would not only
hold his own on the floor of the Senate,
but his energetic work in the committee
room would count for South Carolina.

these bridges are wrecked and can be
repaired, but many, or most of them,

that early completion is an important
factor, but cannot push the work in n
haphazard manner to the detriment of
the county. | now have bridge force

making the necessary repairs. our road
engineer, whose duty it is To prepare
plans and specifications for building all
bridges, is now engaged in the work
and where advisable we will erect rock

bridges more substantial and durable.

plete this work and | ask our people to
exercise due patience. Notice of lettings
will be given from time to time as the
