Good Roads,

The people are awakening to the
economy Of building good roads. For
many years every effort has been bent
toward enlightenment on the good
roads question. We have been doing
Il great deal of talking but not much
working. All of this has been neces-
sary to convince the majority OF peo-
pie that an expenditure for good roads
is a real economy. The time has about
come when the people are ready to
support a real good roads mover ent.
-Laurens Advertiser.
We hope this is true, and believe
it is. The Herald and News for many
years has been persistent and consis-
tent advocate of the building of good
roads. The people will come to real
ize some day that tax for road build
ing is different from any other tax. 1t
is an investment that will pay larger
dividends to all the people than any
other investment they could possibly
make. We have never been able to
understand why every one did not take
more interest in road building, or how
any one could oppose a reasonable tax
for road building.-The Herald and
News.

HILLSIDE NEWS.

Hillside, Sept. 13.-The Hillside and
Fork Shoals baseball teams crossed
bats on the local diamond Saturday. 1t
was a slow game on the part OF the
visitors, and resulted in score of 80
to in favor of the local team. The
game was a very close and interesting
one up until the 9TH inning. At that
time the scores stood to | with the
ledger balanced toward the visitors.
c. \. Adair and f. L. Weathers did
the pitching for Hillside. Three runs
were secured off Adair and two off
Weathers. Batteries: for Hillside,
Adair, Weathers and Chapman; for
Fork Shoals, Riddle, Majors, Sullivan,
Green and Williams.
Cotton is being picked out very fast
in this community. There will not be
large crop, as was thought at first.
There are hundreds of bushels of
potatoes for sale in Hillside. The
market at Fountain Inn offers only
forty cents per bushel. How's that?
The government report has it that
there is great shortage in the 1913
crop of potatoes. If that is true, why
is there no market for them in Foun-
tain Inn, PelZer or Williamson? Are
not there any merchants in those
towns enterprsing enough to engage
sales elsewhere, and thus make a
handsome profit? Think it over.
Mrs. Mamie Hiatt is seriously i'll
at her home with heart disease. We
hope she will soon recover.

were in Fountain Inn Friday.

SHILOH LETTER.
. ...s.. ..... .

Shiloh, Sept. 15.-Wise nature low
ers tell us that already autumn has
come with the shortening of the days
and The unrcnewed power of the slant
ing sun. Take walk and you will see
multitude OF tokens OF the autumn.
1t is cheerful though, even if it
seems to illustrate the power of see
ing what one most desires to see. Ex-
pressed in terms of thought, life, this
faculty OF vision, might indeed be call
ed sore OF sclf-reiiection. 1T is really
free choice between alternatives.
One must have knowledge and inward
cheer to feel the autumn so vividly
through the singing Of the cool au-
tumn. 1t involves in kindred things a
wholesome use Of the powers Of will.
We may concentrate our attention on
the wintry aspect OF the world, or we
may look through this to find some
reality of autumn. 1t is like the OBJ
servers swing OF the telescope-we
may lower it until we see nothing but
the sordid details of some distant dust
heap. Or we may raise it to make
discoveries among the stars. A mere
thoughtless optimism Is, OF course
foolish and impossible, but it Is whole
some for the soul to cultivate the ha-
bit OF raising the telescope. 1t means
not merely way to get enjoyment out
OF life, but also to contribute to the
JOY and strength of others. The re-
Election of such an inward cheer is
one Of the best gifts we have to offer
to the world. And it is possible to
reach possession of it by cultivating
the habit OF seeking out the best even
In autumn experiences and stormy
days
Picking cotton and hauling it to
market demands the time of the farm
ers. The rotton crop will not be as
good as we first thought Up until
the middle of August, the crop looked
promising, with full crop assured.
1t is now the opinion of the farmers,
the crop will be forty per cent off, in
this community and maybe less.
Little Marie Abercrombie, who has
been suffering with toothache, and
Master j. Odics, who has had case
of sore eyes, are on the road to re-
covery.
What is the matter with the cotton
market? Surely it has the collie. 1t
needs dose of physic to work it up
to fifteen cents.
Some went over to the baptizing at
Hendersonvillc Sunday. Quite cool

for the step forward in voting bonds

growth only uncertain because of in
adequate facilities, defeat OF the
movement would have been renec-
tion upon the community and a blow
TO It's progress, a serious setback toI
the educational progress of the whole
county. With interest so awakened in
the county that four different locali-
ties have voted bonds for new build
ings, truly the county can be proud
OF the educational advancement. With
this new building provided for, the
Gray Court-Owings high school should
continue to maintain the enyiable
record which it has made in the past.
