Jonesvi1le, April Good Friday
and Easter Sunday came too early
this year, they did not wait until the
winter was over and they got caught
in the snow. But Spring would be
gloomy weather if we had nothing
else but Spring.
The Methodist Sunday school had
Easter service Sunday morning. The
and choir platform rails were deco
rated the color scheme being white,
with white flowers. A beautiful pro-
gram was rendered by the small girls
consisting of songs and short
speeches. Miss Frances Hicks was
very efficient at the piano. The Ep-
worth League had special Easter
service at six in the evening, with an
address by Prof. Henry A. Wise, of
Columbia, while the pastor, Rev. w.
B. Justus, preached an Easter sermon
at night.
The Prcsbytcrians had beautiful
Easter services in the morning. The
sun shone brightly, but the day was
| cold.
The election is proceeding today
unon the issue of the county good
roads bonds and before the setting of
the sun the issue will be decided This
hond issue has been before the people
since the adjournment of the legiSla-
ture in February, and it has caused
much comment and some controversy
and few spats in the county papers
but it will soon be over and we will
all get together again.
| Prof. Sans ncjpcinol Of tba JJi,rb
school is sick at his home in Gaffney
and DR.. F. NJ. Elerbe is filing his
| place for him.
DR.. w. O. Southard who has been
quite sick for months. is feeling bet
ter. He has served this community
for near forty years as a faithful
physician and his practice extended
all over the county. Exposure, no
doubt, broke down his strong con-
stitution. He and / came to this
place about the same time in 1875.
We all hope he will he spared for to
lose him, would indeed be great
loss, not only to his family and rel
atives, but to the entire community.
| am glad Jess Willard knocked
Jack johnson out. and white man
is now champion, instead of negro.
| never knew of a Willard being
whipped in this county. There were
a number of them here years ago
and they all were great fighters.
Among them was Jack, POPLAR
head, Red Jacket. Red Bill. Love
berry, Drayton, Mabc and Shelf. 1t
was said that Mabe whipped Sam
| Sumner at Union once, who was the
champion in that day of Union coun

never would tackle a Willard.

Jonesvillo, April 6.-I dislike very
much to have anything further to
say about the good roads bond issue
and the peddlers bill, but a sense of
duty to myself prompts me to reply
to my good friend and brother, l.. L.
Wagnon in his article in the last is
sue of the Union Times. Brother
Wacnon accuses me of being bilious
and perhaps laboring under spell
Of Indigestion. and then by reading
between the lines, I think | can sec
that he hints at ignorance on my part
IN my position in the premises. Well
IN looking over my article. to which
nc replies, | can see no visible SIGNS
of softening Of the brain, hallucina
ton, lunacy. bilousness or indiCas-
ton, but it is true that I am no alien.
lSt. and therefore, might not be q
proper person to pass upon all de-
fcctS of the human body. I don't see
g single cuss word in nv article no:
violation of the seventh Command
ment. although. nv good brother
charges me, with others. of cuSsinr
HIM out. | have taken a position in
both these issues, promDted bv nv
feelings and sense of both honor and
duty, and | have as yet no cause of
regret and no reason. as 7 soc il to
retract or apologize, and I therefore
stand to my frst principles. and am
happy to say and to know that 7 am
supported and backed by scores Of
neople all over the county, and 7 he
iIeve that today at the ballot boxes
will show majority with me as to
the good roads bond issue and the
other issue, the neddlcrs bill. if put
to ballot, would show i'm the Same
| ratio. Then why should I feel ike
an ignoranamus. pcssimist and ono
void oF nrogressivencss all to myself.
| am willing to acknowledge thcrc
may be mote in my eve. but at the
same time is it not possible that there
IS beam in the other fellows eve?
J hone this is the end of the contro-
