About twenty Of the landowners
above the proposed dam across Con-
neroSS creek at High Bridge met at
Richland Academy Saturday evening
to discuss ways and means to kill
the dam construction. The dam pro-
motcrs by invitation were present,
; too. and free and open discussion
followed. Good feeling prevailed,
but the result seemed to be "confu-
sion worse confounded.' The pro-
motcrs insist they will not damage
above their own property. two or
three miles above the dam. The
landowners, however. feel sure that
a 20-ioOt dam will deaden the water
flow and pile and pack the sand up
in the bed Of the stream for miles up
Conneross and its tributaries and
thereby ruin more valuable lands
than Oconee can afford to lose for so
small an enterprise. Finally. the
landowners decided to use all moral,
civil, legal and partisan means in
'i''i' p'hSl " 9lolb lllc Vi
this dam, and will take steps at once
to protect their property.
Mr.. Editor, our little history and
advertisement Of the "Old Maids

received up to that date. Advertise
ing in live paper with big circula-
ton brings quick returns, and We
think this club should feel very
grateful for our foresight in adver-
tising.
p. S.-We forgot to say in our last
communication that these dear crea-
lures reserve the right to reject any
and all offers not satisfactory to
them. Pluck.

WALHALI.A'S GOOD ROAD.

The citizens Of Walhalla have rca-
son to feel distinct pride in the
good road being built from Walhalla
to Westminster. at rides like
dream is the general verdict Of
those who have travelled over those
sections Of the new road which have
been all but completed. This road
is designed to be the model for good
road building in Oconcc-and we be-
lievo it will be all that its designers
have planned for it. When complet-
ed ii will show what can be done
toward road building OF permanent
naturc--road building that is costly
in the beginning and economic in the
end-for it Is designed to stand the
wear and tear Of the heavy traffic it
is TO accommodates.
1t has another good feature. It is
the kind Of road that enhances the
value Of the property through and
along which it runs. The property
owners as a rule have recognized
this fact. and the right Of way has
been given almost without exception
cheerfully. gladly and without
charge. ''Takc what you need, any
where, just so you give us a good
road" is the way these people who
appreciate good thing have mot the
surveyors. Among those who have
