our ROAD SYSTEM.

i
for the best plan of road inn
provement. and it is to be hoped
that some suggestion that wild be
uniformly appreciate will be
suggested among the many re-
sponses that may be expected to
be made to so attractive a propo-
sition. There are two reasons
why the office of this album OF
song doesn't furnish a contrlbu-
tor: One is we are too busy,
and the other is, we don't need
CD the money. Seriously, this
road business is a proposition
that would be better received
and better understood, and re-
suit in much better roads, if the
people at large could be
brought to the point of a careful
consideration of it. About the
only objections now existing to
good roads is their cost, and a
good part of these DIRECTORS
have not considered any further
than the amount of money that
would be added to their tax bill
each year.
In any community where
road improvement has taken
place the residents are unani-
nous in their statements that it
has more than paid for itself in
time saved in hauling and in
wear and tear of machinery and
stock, to say nothing of the
shortening of distance by intel
hgent and expert selection of
route, and the lessening of time
required for a given distance.
It would much please us if a
system could be devised that
would permit of all convict labor
in the state being put upon 1.-THE
: roads, and worked under the di-
rection of a state wide board OF
road supervisors. A uniform,
intelligent scheme could be fol
lowed out that would, in a few
: years, result in a continuity of
disable highways, as against iso-
. lated stretches in different sec
tions now. Added to this would
: be the advantage of a saving in
road machinery, as three or four
sets of equipment would be all
that would be necessary as
/ against the now numerous and
questionably sufficient tools own
ed by counties, cities. towns and
townships; and would save the
!, salaries of q! good many super
!, visors, who, we think it safe tc
, say, represent various types OF
efficiency from good to bad and
: indifferent.
This plan would also place con-

LIONEL LAWRENCE.
Will Appear in NeWberry Very Soon
in Forgiven. Good Support
ing Company.

The Bluetield (Va) Leader has the
following comment on Lionel Law
renee in Forgiven" This company
will be in NewIberry very soon:
The interest being displayed by the
wise ones in theatrical circles indi-
Gates the revival of Fred Bryton 5
romantic comedy-drama Forgiven. by
Lionel Lawrence and his company.
and that it will be one of the notable
attractions of the coming season. AS
a play the work Of Mr.. Bryton stands
pre-eminently at the head Of its class
in comedy-drama. and there is no
doubt that it will please every class
OF amusement seeker.
"Mr. Lawrence has a great part in
Jack Diamond this season, one that
will give him an opportunity to show
the public his versatility as an actor
and will no doubt surprise all those
who saw him last year in The Devil,
his role this season being exactly op-
posite that of last year in which he
received so much praise from both the
press and the public generally. The
supporting company is composed OF
names we'll known in the theatrical
world for their histrionic ability and
there is no question that every char
acter will be exquisitely handled, Mr..
Lawrence having used exceptional
care and foresight in selecting his
support. The scenic environment will
excel that which was carried last year,
and when that is said it is sufficient
guarantee that Forgiven VIII have a
production second to none on the
road
"The printing which has been Sc
leoted for the play is the best that
the printers art can devise and, ta-
ken as a whole, the lovers Of theatrl-
cal amusement VIII be given a rare
treat in the coming Of Mr.. Lawrence
and his company in Forgiven. y
This play Will appear at City Opera
House soon.

Sheriff Buford spent Tuesday and

there was no doubt about whlskey
being sold. and negroes who were at
tending the church were lmblblng
very freely Of it. He said that there
was a white man who was selling soft
drinks a., the church, but there was
no evidence, so far as he could OBJ
