As many already know, the
finishing up Of the clayed road
from Trenton to Augusta was cele-
brated on last Wednesday the 10Th,
by a big barbecue on the plantetlon
of Mr.. Albert Miller. This was Civ
en- to all. both white and colored,
who had taken any part in the clay
ing of the road and Judging by the
splendid display of appetite, 1t must
have been greatly enjoyed. As this
is election year, few candidates,
as is always the case, took advan-
tage Of this opportunity 10 meet the
people. Speaking of candidates and
our new road, naturally suggests the
question, who will be Edgetield's
next supervisor? This again re-
minds one of little article in last
weeks Advertiser signed Good
Roads, He says, I've are getting
tired of answering the question,
have YOU any SUPERVISOR" If this
question is put to the people of .hls
section, the answer will come from
all overwhelming majority. les,
and good one" Mr.. Edmunds has
uoily carried out his promise to the
people of this community. No SUI
pervisor can do his best without the
cooperation of the people, and If
other communities will aid our SUI
pervisor, as this one has done, there
will be no more complaint OF bad
roads.
The program for special Easter
service at Mt. Zion church as print
ed in last weeks Advertiser, was on
last Sunday, fully and beautifully
carried out. The old church looked
gay in its decoration of bright
spring flowers and the entertain
ment of recitation ands song would
have done credit to many town
churches. The moving spirit in this
work was our energetic young teach
er, Miss Mamie Cheatbam. Assist
ing her at the organ was Mrs.
Pritchard, who is calculated to be
of great service to this community,
