AS matter Of information 10 those
that are coming TO US complaining
about the conoition of the public roads,
we will say that their trouble should
be poured out to the county supervisor
who has charge of the chalngans, and
who can put it to work filing up the
bad places in the roads so that rehl-
cles need not be broken and those rid
ing in them can have some little COM
fort. The Times editor has nothlng TO
90 wit b the roads u:her Than 10 hep
pay the taxes 20 keep them IN travel
ing condition.
Do not burden yourselves with bond
issue unless those who are urging II
show there is necessity for it. With
the lights before US we have no hesl-
tencv in advising against voting for the
proposed bond issue for the improve
ment of the asylum. There is no need
to sell the beautiful property now own
ed by the State in order TO erect new
plant elsewhere, there is on the pres
ent site over 81 ,O0G. 00G worth Of build
ines and equipment. if this property is
sold it must be done at a sacrifice. Let
the land grabbers of Columbia wait
for some other chance to grow rich.
Do not fail to read the half page ad-
yertisement of The D. J. Chandler
Clothing Company in this issue. 1t is
about time to put that summer suit 10
the closet and replace it with one OF
those well fitting suits that this concern
handles. There is a whole lot OF comfort
in wearing suit OF upper or under
clothing which fits and is OF material
and workmanship that gives the assur-
ance of good honest wear and service
as well as style. The Times readers
have been reading the advertisements
of The D. J. Chandler Clothing Comp
any for many years, and they have
pro6ted by going there to buy their
clothing and gents furnishings. The ad-
vertisements are backed up with the
goods an6 all that which goes with a
guarantee from reliable concern
whose guarantee amounts to pleasing
their customers and making their rep
reservations valuable asset to their
business. None need question @ pur-
chase from this concern, and none do
after the first purchase. The new home
of this established concern is well I.
signed for the business, and the stock
they carry furnishes good field for
selecting. Read the advertisement.

A Mothers Tribute.

Died at Brogdon, S. c., Saturday,
September 2Sth, Robert Hasel, aged six
years, the only child of Mr.. and Mrs.
r. T. Holiday. and on Sunday he was
laid to rest at Home Branch beside his
little sister.
Before the beauty and the bloom
OF lifes delightful morn had fed,
While still, without one spot OF gloom,
It's glory shone upon his head;
Ere sin could could stain or sorrow
blight,
The pure soul beaming from his eyes,
An Angel came one sunny morn
And bore his spirit to the skies.
A smile still fingered on his face,
When for the grave We robed his form
That form so fair! on which now preys
The loathsome graves devouring worm;
Often, when Loves fond watch we
keep
Beside his turf-cla6, narrow bed,
We dream that he is but asleep
We cannot think OF him as dead.
And sometimes, too, in mournful
mood,
We long to see his face again.
But should we. even if we could
Recall him TO this world Of pain:
Nay, that were selfish; let US say:
'sThou art spirit unde6led?
O God, keep thou for aye and aye
In heaven our darling Angel child.'
MOTHER.
