What do the people of Laurens
think Of the proposed new county for
Fountain Inn? The writer is in favor
of this new county, and like Bob Quill
| len, thinks 1t ought to be named eel
dorado" The writer has boosted"
Hillside for two years in three of
South Carolina's newspapers, and shall
boost the new county the same as Hill

be found but, truly, the new county
would be great blessing to the "til-

up a newer, a better and a greater
| market at Fountain Inn, and the farm
ing class of people in its boundaries
would derive much benefit therefrom
Bob Quillen isn't all alone in this
fight, for the writer will take care
of Hillside. Call the new county eel
dorado"

time just grin and keep going. Life
is not filled with roses, neither is it
all thorns. The young men who are
going to try this new scope of farm
Ing are Lawrence Cox and Furman

Hurrah for the McCravy compul-
sorry education bill! This law should
not have been left to the option of
school districts. 1T should have been
made "a law for all, and left to the
option of none" This district will
very probably vote 1t down and this
district needs 1t, too. There's "loop
