serve force from among the native, OF the

IL = proposed that these reserves should

forces and should h. trained ~ American
officers for u~e IN ca~c the canal or the

General Edwards has had u brief con
ference with General E~teban IIucrta,. the
liberator Of Panama. who declared the plan
entirely feasible and promised hi aid III

"A native reserve force. II u ,aid that
practically all ot the natives IN the IN

road funds, and heaven knows how
much more, l don't, and too, most
behind with about $4,000 dollars on
every school district in the county is
now paying from three to six mills
taxes for the maintenance of better
schools. Certainly there is no need
OF making slaves of people under
taxation. Every person, as a rule,
loves to have the best that there is
to be had, but then there is limit
to all things. Some one has said
that we (meaning this generation)
should build the roads and let the
next generation help pay for them,
but this sounds like very poor logic
to me. The next genaration will
have just as much room for improve
'rnents as we have, and more so, for
as time passes it calls for greater
things. The road funds of this coun-
try would keep our roads in much
better shape than they are now in
If some road overseers and road
patchers did not dig so lavishly into
the funds to pay them for the small
amount of work done on the road.
If more people would do some
work on the roads instead of so much
grumbling about them, we would have
better roads. There was some ex-
cellent work pulled off on our road
last week with split log drag. 1t
smoothed the roads so completely
that an automobile could make fast
progress on them. Messrs C. G..
1vey, j. H. Black, Victor Smith and
myself did the work which cost the
county not a cent.

KELTON

Kelton, Feb. 15.-After a week of
beautiful weather it is raining again
today. A few farmers had started
their plows but l fear their land was
not ready-too wet to plow.
Charlie Harris, an old time colored
man died last Friday and was bur-
led Saturday. He was industrious
and was much respected by. the white
people. He was democrat and
voted for Wade Hampton in 1876,
and always voted with the democrats.
These old slaves are passing away
very fast and when they are all gone
their influence will be missed among
the younger negroes. Too many of
them get a little education and it
makes fools of them. Uncle John
Garner, an old Confederate soldier
and veteran grave digger, superin-
tended digging the grave in respect
to Uncle Charles wishes several
years ago, that if he lived longest
he wanted him to do so.

across Pacolet river in Cherokee

OAKLAND

Oakland, Feb. 16.-Some work il
nsw being done on the farm in the
way of ploughing up terraces, cut
ting stalks and shrubbing back the
hedges, and had it continued dry
many ploughs would soon have been
turning the soil. Rain has checked
garden work again for several days.
Some few gardens have already been
pioughed but the ground was rateh
wet.
The much talked of bad roads.
which has prevailed throughout every
section of the county for the past
two months, and which has furnished
a mouthpiece for half the people to
harp on, has been the cause of the
campaign which is now on foot to
raise funds to establish permanent
roads on the main highways of the
county. This partial road building
which will benefit only the minority
of the people is not likely to meet
with much favor or support from
those who are not living on the roads
to be built. Every voter of Union
county should realize just what con-
dition our county is now in (finan.
cially) before imposing greater re-
sponsibilities upon her. The present
times are very squally to undertake
such proposition, as it is to be de-
termined by the voters of this coun-
ty on April 9th. We must remember
that our $4,000 dollar Courthouse
Indebtedness is still to be paid and
If l am not mistaken, the county is
