BENSON BUDGET.
Matters OF Current Interest Brief
Iy Told by Our Alert Scribe.

Benson, June 25:-The curing of
the bottom leaves, or, in the Ian
guage of tobacco folk, "sand-lugs',
is the order of the day here. Some
farmers prime the tobacco, leaving
the first cropping on the ground to
decay.
Quite heavy rain fell in this i'm
mediate section Monday afternoon,
with some hail, but not enough of the
latter to do any considerable damage.
The Benson boys are becoming
much interested in baseball. They
have organized two mines. one bear
ing the name the Reds, the other
the Blues. They have enough
boys perhaps to bring into play the
Whites" and thereby complete the
popular color scheme. However.
the Reds" and the Blues" have
decided on a unique plan to keep up
their enthusiasm; that is, to play sew
eral consecutive games and at the
conclusion of the series, the team
making the least number of scores
will set up" the opposing nine to an
old-time chicken pilau, q la Lawyer
McFadden, of tender memory.
Mr. John Weeks, of Aiken county,
a graduate of class '13, who was
chosen to deliver the annual COM
mencement address at the closing
exercises of the South Carolina Mil
itary College. was a visitor here last
week. He is a brother of Mrs Sam
uel A Mccullough.
Children's day was very appro-
priately observed at Central Presby-
terian church Sunday morning with
selected songs and recitals by the
young folk of the congregation. Mr.
H C Haddock was asked to speak in
the absence of their pastor. He de-
livered a very interesting and in
structive address, taking for his
theme the Bible, the word of God.
The audience was very attentive
during the entire discourse.
Misses Erwin Mccullough and Al
ma Duke, two of our popular young
ladies, are visiting friends at Flor
ence this week. w Els.

maintenance IMPORTANT.
Provision Should Be Made to Keep
Roads In Repair.

Roads In Repair.
Hon. Logan Waller Page, director Of
the United States office of public roads,
believes that there is nothing more i'm.
portant than maintaining roads after
they are built. Commenting on this
phase Of road work, he said recently:
Too much stress cannot be laid on
the importance of maintenance in con.
nection with the work Of improving
the roads. The people in nearly all the
states are filed with enthusiasm for
road improvement and are spending
enormous sums Of money in the con-
struction of superb roads. and yet al
most without exception they are max
ing little provision to care for the roads
after they are built. This is true not
snly in the various counties. but under
many Of our state highway depart
ments.
To maintain the roads in good con
dition year after year requires con
siderable annual outlay. but this out
lay is infinitely less than the loss which
must fall upon the people eventually II
they allow their roads to 20 to utter
ruin The thin" for all advocates OF
good roads Ia do is 10 urge continuous
systematic maintenance and III" setting
aside every Year OF III amount per
mile estimated by the engineer II
charge TO he sufficient for the proper
maintenance ~ the road--a course
which must make for economy and eff
cheney.

the petition must be filed with the

GORRELl'S WAREHOUSE
Now Ready to Receive PftmlngS OF
First CuflnQS.

The big new warehouse on Hamp-
ton avenue, which had its first sea-
son last year and became very pop
ular under the management of
Messrs Gass, Hopper & Gorrell, has
again opened its doors and offers its
spacious floors to the farmer for the
reception of his tobacco primings.
The regular daily sales of leaf to-
bacco will not start for week or so
yet. The date for opening of sales
will be determined at meeting of
the State tobacco warehousemen at
Florence next Saturday. But as
many farmers are probably anxious
to get their primings or first curings
out of the way, GorrelPs warehouse
will, from now on, be open to receive
same.
This popular house will be under
practically the same management
this year as last. Mr. o c Currin.
one of the most famous tobacco
auctioneers of the Piedmont section,
will take the place of MIR Lee Hop
per, who served as auctioneer last
year. 1t will, as usual, be the chief
aim of every man connected with
this house to see that its customers
get the very highest price for their
tobacco, and a square deal in every
particular. adv-1t

A Timely Admonition.

Editor County Record
Now that many people are pre-
pairing TO take their summer trips, l
want to put in a word Of warning.
Let US remember in the pleasure and
excitement of it all to be very care
full not to break our Lords command
to keep His day holy. l read in the
papers of so many people going on
excursions ON Gods holy day and
spending the time in worldly amuse-
ments, and l am writing to everyone
concerned, but especially protesting
Christians. Many of us take that
day, set aside for the worship of our
God, to start on journey. Would
not Saturday or Monday do? How
can we deliberately break His law?
Christ says if we love Him we will
keep His commandments. And re-
member that we influence others Ell
ther for good or evil. A member of
the church should consider under
whose banner he is marching on to
eternity, and whose name he bears.
Our Creator placed us here to work
for Him and to bear witness for
Him. We are not butterflies fitting
about. but we are needed to help to
.xtend His kingdom here on earth.
