THE VALUE OF THE SMALL FARM

The editor of Farm and Fireside
writes as follows in the current issue
of that publication:
The tendency of this generation Is
toward the corporate ownership OF
farm Landslide intense industrial
spirit is back of that tendency. But
with the advent of the large farm the
farm home disappears, farm life ls
snuffed out, and we have in its place d
big system which for the time being
may be able to show satisfactory fin
ancial results, but which will ulti-
mately mean both financial dissatis-
faction and social unrest. The small
well titled leads to a contented com
munity; the large farm, even if well
cared for, cannot receive the care /,
should; it results in a complete loss
.of community life and pride"

that goes with such declaration.
A trip over the roads of the county
discloses the fact that they are being
neglected and that they are rapidly de-
teriorating. Mud holes and deep ruts
are beginning to appear. The bitches
are filling up with trash and leaves and
the water after the rains is standing i'll
the road or running across it. This IS
causing washouts that are hurtful to
the road and actually dangerous.
The Tines Recorder is and always
has been an advocate of good roads
But it seems to us that it is foolish TO
allow the roads to run down for lack
of a little repair work.
Actual experience has proven that
roads such as we have in Sumter coun-
ty can be kept in first class condition
at a nominal cost if they are dragged
after rains and the drains and bitches
are kept clean. Eminent authorities on
the road question state that the secret

FALSE ECONOMY IN ROAD CONSTRUCTION

The average cost Of building a good
road" in this county is 5000 per mile. 1,
is estimated that all the roads could Be
kept in good state of repair at cos!
not greater than SIS year per mile.
The count would profit if part of the
gang were put to work repairing the
roads.
The old adage "a stitch in time
saves nine" should read "a shovelful OF
dirt in the right place at the right tine
saves nine or even more"
We would like to see the county
gang divided into two squads. One,
the smaller, would spend it's time go
ing over the roads and keeping them
in repare. They would scrape them af-
ter rains; clean out the bitches, fill in
mud holes and keep the roads in good
condition. The larger gang would be
employed as at present in constructing
new roads.
Aside from the benefit that would De-
derived by always having the roads in
tip top shape such a scheme would
prove saving for the county. The
cost of keeping the roads in repair Is
nothing when compared with the price
of constructing new roads.

THE GOOD OLD SONGS

There was once frank-spoken

gathering of highbrows that, for her

seance was over, a timid old gentle

that he, too, felt the same way, only he
had never had the courage to say so.
These two are typical of a sufficient

age of So. Despite his sentimental
leanings, he was lifelong Englishman
and conferred unusual distinction upon
a humdrum office by having served
five times as mayor or Pyde.

SMASH THE WASHER

The chivalry of the Southern gentle
man has long been one of the chief as
sets of Dixie. Are we losing our rev.
erence for woman? The following ed
itorial clipped from the Atlanta Con-
stitution is along the right line:
The recent experience of a pretty At
lanta woman who had to defend her,
self against an alleged masher calls
for more than a passing thought. For
tunately for her there was policeman
in sight and she had, in her hand, q
roll of paper with which to smash the
alleged masher.
If all the Washers could be smashed,
and if every alleged masher could re-
ceive a smash, it would be relief t.
our women.
The seriousness of the situation be-
comes apparent when one knows thai,
for one such occurrence that comes TO
the attention of the police and the
newspapers, there are scores of others
that, for various reasons, are kept
quiet. The following true story illus
trates the point in question: The other
day an elegant and highly respected
young lady, from a rural community,
was visiting friends in Atlanta. Just
she have occasion to appear on the
street alone. Presently a man whis-
pered over her shoulder, Its pretty
warm today" No one else was within
twenty feet of her No policeman was
in sight The frightened girl moved
faster The man followed her Sic
crossed the street in an effort to avoid
him. He crossed the street right be-
hind her How far he followed she
does not know for the reason that the
nearer she got to the home of her
friends the more frightened she b.
came
The upshot of it all is that the in
nocent girl was Frustrated with fright
and her otherwise happy trip to ths
city was spoiled by senseless masher
who deserved to have his face so
smashed that he will keep it at home
and not come peering over the should
ers of strange ladies'.
Any man, young or cid, who has no
better use than that for his counter
ance ought to have it so denied that
the home folks will not recognize hir1
when he goes home.
As the boys used to say in the coun-
try school fight, Just let i'm keep on
he'll find out what'll happen"
