A LETTER FROM BUFFALO.

Buffalo is a modest little mill town
of 1000 population situated among
the hills four miles west of the city.
of Union, the county seat of historic
Union county.
One has only to live "out at Buff
falo" and mingle with her good peo-
pie in order to appreciate what Buff
falo really is as mill town.
Whatever may have been said in
the past in a dubious and uncertain
way as to Buffalo's moral reputation,
it now remains that no more law.
abiding, church-going and God-fear-
ing people live anywhere than in this
quiet little town.
Buffalo has two good churches, each
supporting pastor of its own, full
time. These churches have a COM
bined membership of perhaps 800.
From an educations point of view
Buffalo is making steady progress.
The school here is indeed fortunate
in having a board of trustees that
realizes that a good school is one of
the best assets that mill town can
have and is willing to support every
measure looking towards furthering
the interest of the school here.
One has only to look back no farth-
er than the beginning of the present
school year to say nothing of the past
to note a number of changes that have
been made and steps taken looking
towards the improvement of the
school. Only a short time ago the
citizens, without a dissenting vote, de-
cided to levy a special tax for school
purposes.
Owing to the crowded conditions in
the school here, the board of trustees
found it necessary to elect an addi-
tional teacher to the faculty of Buff
falo Graded school.
Under the direction of the principal
of the school here and his corps of
teachers several changes have been
made that have greatly imprved con-
ditlons both as to the school house
and the grounds. A basket ball court
for the girls has been provided for
and under the leadership of Miss
Green an excellent team of girls has
been organized and is now being
trained. Other athletic features are
being planned for.
Recently a night school has been o.
anized in which the people seem to be
interested. 1t is hoped that the
school will increase the educational
opportunities of tn epeople of Buff
falo. In all these efforts to secure
better educational advantages for the
Buffalo people, it is just to the mill
company to say that they have not
been unmindful of these efforts and
are supporting them in a material
way. 1t is to the credit, also, of the
managers of the Buffalo manufacture
ing company that there is located on
the school grounds of Buffalo Graded
school pretty home for the princi-
PIE. y
There is, indeed, a brighter OUT

The voting Tuesday clearly shows
that the people are not going to vote
a bond issue to build roaus in the
county. The majority against the bond
issue was greater this year than it
was last year. We are not disposed
to censure those who voted against
the bond issue. They were led to do
50 because they believed it would
Greatly advance taxes. That it would
increase taxes there is no denying.
iiut 30 build good roads will cost
money. To maintain good roads will
likewise cost money. There are many
who would be willing to have the
special tax levy for roads each year
'alSeu. One man, an opponent of the
bond issue, says: Let the county
raise by direct taxes an additional
$4,000 to be spent on roads. This,
added to the present road tax, would
enable US to have good roads in
few years, and there would be no
bonds to redeem when it was accom-
pliShed.' Another man says: Let
Union township vote good road bonds
and build the roads in that township"
We do not know which is the better
advice. But we are all where we be-
gan; everybody is in favor of good
roads. That is comforting, and VIII.
soon lead to a solution.

Governor Manning has so far re-
fused to sign the -quarts-a- month
act. We are inclined to agree with
the stand he has taken. He says:
The gallon-a-month law will stand as
the law regulating the importation of
liquor into South Carolina for personal
use. This was the law enacted by the
Legislature at the same time as the
referendum act ordering the prohib-
tion election, and was in force when
the election was held. This law has
made distinct advance for prohibi-
rj"r by limiting the amount of liquor
used, and deem it best that it should
stand, unless something occurs to
Grange the situation. To retain the
gallon-a-month law is to keep faith
with the people and, in my judgment,
will go long way to promote tenn
perance so long as it is rigidly en-
forced. shall continue to direct a
vigorous enforcement. l will not,
therefore, at this time sign the two
quarts-a-month act, but will hold same
in allegiance pending any change in
conditions that may occur"
