benefit - our country to have
good roads to travel. We do not

proves them. A community with
out good roads is behind in every
respect.
Bad roads sometimes knock a
man out of his manners. some-
times he cannot raise his hat
or hold up his head without stun
bling or looking to fall into a hole
Graded roads are the right rope
to pull at. They are a friend to
everybody and greater one to
the farmers than anyone else.
Many are leaving the farm and
going to the cities on account of
the bad roads and it makes it
much harder on the rest. We
need to be united and pull at the
same end. We can pull against
each other and get anywhere. We
have to pull the same way. The
load is too great for a few to pull,
but the more pulling the lighter
the load and We see what Is need

Don't forget that your neighbor
though he differs from You politi-
cally may be just as honest in his
convictions as you, that this is u
free country where freedom OF
opinion is one Of the biggest of
the broad foundation stones of our
government and there would be
an end of that form OF govern
ment without it. Be tolerant,
therefore, or rather not tolerant.
but rational, patriotic and good
natured. Stand by your convic-
tons and let your neighbor stand
by his if so disposed. Keep cool.
Argue politics If you will, but do
it calmly and reasonably and
bear this fact always in mind,
that just as you have made up
your mind unalterably as to the
way in which you will vote,
ninety nine hundreds OF the vot-
ing population have done the
same tning.-Lexington Adyer-

We must confess that God has
smiled on this community again,
for it has been real dry for quite
awhile, but God sent beautiful
and refreshing rain Saturday and
Sunda which was gladly received
BY some and hope it was by all
for it made the corn and cotton
look so much better and the pea
hay that has been sowed would
have been failure, but God al
ways has sent the rains IN time.
