hours, l would have thought the MAJ
was losing his mind.
But l must pass on and say some
thing about the condition OF the roads
and crops.
In passing over our own territory
from the corporation of Prosperity to
the line of Lexington, Mr. Aup7began
to slow up his car from tie to tine.
and complain of those little broken
bridges and holes in the road.
1 told him to just keel quiet, one
wing of the chaingang is right over
yonder at st. Pauls church, that John
Henry Chappell the great terror of
bad roads is on his way, and we ven
ture the assertion that taese roads
and bridges would all be put in ap-
plepie order within a short while.
Watch John Henry He is on the job.
After we crossed over. into Lexing-
ton side we found the roads in much
worse condition than in Newberry.
but when We came into Richland
We found the roads in much
ever travelled; in fact it is a model
road. The people who live in the
midst of bad roads can't realize the
advantages of such roads.
But our people are waking up along
this line, and if the time ever comes
when they can get their minds off
Of Bleaseism and Smithism and All
other issues that lead to prejudice
the soul. We will have more blessings
than that Of good roads.
A few parting words about the con-
dition of the crops.
There is no use Of Disgusting the
fact that, with very few exceptions
along our travel the crops are the
latest l ever knew them, fully three
fourths of the cotton is just up. The
corn is also small, and in a good many
places general green is playing his
hand, but it is 10 be hoped that with
favorable weather, fast work and
late fall things will turn up better
than we anticipate.
In conclusion, Mr.. Editors please ac-
cept our appreciation for your kind
ness.
Yours respectfully.
