Working the Roads

The Augusta road, over which more
travel is made than any other stretch
of road in the county, Is now being put
in order by Capt. Charlie Meetze, who
with the assistance of squad Of COIL
victs from the chain gang, mules and
and a road machine, is shaping the
road-bed and filing in the broken
places. Capt. Meetze is now working
between Lexington and the Hamburg
branch, but will work on to BrooklanG
This is the right thing to do and the
right man to do. the work. Charlie
has had experience and knows the work
Capt. NJ. L. Corley has the chain
gang in the Fork and from advices
received from many sources is doing
considerable substantial work with the
new road machine. The new machine
is propelled by gasoline and appears
to work wonderful feats in road bnlld-
ing, what we have long needed. Let
the good work 60 on.

New Gin for Lexington.

It will be of interest to the farmers
around Lexington to learn that the
Lexington Cotton Mill has purchased
one of the best gin outfits on the
market, a three s0saw huller box Gull
lett ginning system, up-to-date in
every particular.
Mr.. G.. S. Wright is here to install
and operate the gin. It will be located
at the mill, about $50 feet east of the
boilers, and will be in readiness for
the first of the season.
This outfit will have capacity of
about 40 bales per day and we under
stand it is proposed to gin at price
that will be very attractive to the
farmers.
The market price will be paid for
cotton and seed at the gin. Arrange
ments are also being made whereby
the farmer may store his cotton in
bonded warehouse. Receipts for cot
ton stored in bonded warehouse is
gilt edge security for loans. This will
be quite an advantage to any one
wishing to hold cotton and borrow
money against same, and to hold for
better prices. We are glad to have
these much needed additions to our
town,

Gonzales Confirmed.

Last week we mentioned the nomi-
ration of Capt. ". E. Gonzales, editor
Of The State, to be Minister to Cuba.
The Senate has confirmed his nomina-
ton which of course was no more than
to be expected, for it rarely occurs
that confirmation by the Senate does
not follow nomination by the President
and especially so is the case when con-
gress and the president are of the same
political party. President Wilson could
not have made better selection.
Mr.. Gonzales has done as much for
the Democratic party as any one man
we know. Such an appointment was
due W. E. Gonzales. Being fitted in
every way he will render valuable ser =
vice both to Cuba and our own country
