forcement Of those We have IS the
thing.
The Idier s:rolled down street
few mornings ago rather early and
Superintendent Of Streets, J. Monroe
Wicker, Iad Iorce of nine hands and
two horse wagon sweeping off and
hauling away the dirt and trash on
the paved SECTIONS Of street. 1t to
this force about one hour, just about a
dav for one man. It occurred to me
that if council would adopt the sug-
gestion, made, 7 believe, by Mrs. E.
NJ. Evans, Of the Civic Association,
and employ man and give him a
two wheel cart and let him take all
Of his time, the street could be kept
clean all day the Offices and stores
adjacent would not have the dust
daily swept into them and the cost
would be less, certainly no more. Sup
pose city council give this a trial. l
am only suggesting.
A gentleman in Atlanta is building
himself very unique and handsome
residence. Among other features he
is going to have one room in which
no woman shall be permitted ever to
enter. Now, a house without a woman
is not much Of a place to live, but to
have one room where you can go and
leave your desk and know you can
find it just as you left it is not a bad
idea. The women, God bless them,
want to clean up your room and
straighten out the papers on your
desk and they mean we'll, but too Of
ten after such Strengthening and
cleaning you can never find your pa
pers.
Geo. Moore, of the Honea Path
Chronicle makes this observation: ::
"An Ohio minister says kissing is
Intoxicating. Maybe in the course Of
time we will be having local option
elections on the question Of kissing"
No, We Will make that election
Statewide. Conditions in reference
to this intoxicant are about the same
in all pants Of the State and country.
Then you know, DR.. Wiley, the pure
food expert, says that soft drinks are
very injurious. We will have State
wide election on this subject also.
In Georgia they say now that the
arrests from drunkenness are much
greater than before they had State
wide prohibition. In fact I believe it
is stated that they are so per cent
more. I remember when the law first
went into effect one Of the Atlanta
papers printed cut with the prison
gate standing wide open and the gate
guard sound asleep and the recorder
out Of job, so lawabiding had the
people become. Maybe the reaction
is taking place.
The Idler has been requested by
citizens of No. to say that Super
visor Feagie has finished the Chap
pells bridge but the roads in No. 7
are in such condition that it is neces-
sary for him to do some work on them
before he can move. Besides the peo-
pie of No. 7 feel that they are en-
titled to have the chain gang do a.
little work in that township. They
claim that the chain gang has not done
as much as one weeks work up there
in five years. Besides that Mr.. J. S.
Dominick and his boys have placed
three teams at the disposal of the
supervisor to help in hauling rock to
work these bad places in the road
That being the case the supervisor
should keep the chain gang there as
long as he can get the citizens to CO.
operate in this substantial way. l
commend it to other sections. Do not
depend exclusively on the chain gang
but encourage the supervisor by put
ting your teams and hands to work
on the road. Mr.. Dominick says the
farmers up there want the supervisor
to plant the new court house square
in Bermuda grass and that it ought
to be planted in June.
