KELTON

Kelton, March Cove are having
some fine weather for farm work Just
now. {8t
Mr.. B. Free and George fss.ssssr
came down at Kelly's Friday and SAT-
urday last and bought several baiesS
of cotton and the cotton was dsliy-
cred today among. the sellers were
Mr.. ID. j. Gault. Two crops and the
| estates of the late w. M. Gault and u.
o. Gault. Price paid was IL cents.
The upper Ridge has about sold out.
After short illness Mr.. J. o. Gault,
of Jonesville died at his sons, Mr.. J..
o. Gault, Jr., on his farm near Kelton.
| Mr.. Gault was a successful planter
and business man. He owned a nice
farm near Kelton and another in Ches-
ter county. He carried $4,000 life in
urance. He was born about Sc years
| ago near the spot where he died. He
lived on the farm the most of his
life. He married Miss Frances Vim
son in 1878 and 10 children were born
to them, two sons and eight daugh-
| ters, all living but two. The widow
| and children have the sincere sympa-
thy of their many relatives and
| friends. His remains were laid to
rest at Foster Chapel burying ground,
the grave being literally covered with
beautiful ferns and flowers.
am glad that the editor of The
Times has the manhood to express his
opinions on public issues. If he does
not agree with others. He could not
be otherwise. We all don't agree on
anything, not even on the teaching of
the Holy Bible. People have always
disagreed. Paul and his coworker dis
agreed and if such men as they
couldn't agree no wonder we do not
agree. But | can't see why men want
to tax all for the benefit of a favored
class | have always tried to be a
Democrat, but if special privilege is
democracy | am no Democrat. Let us
all be consistent. They had a bill
before the last legislature to cut the
railroad fare to two cents mile.
You saw in the newspapers where the
chambers of commerce called meet
ings and passed resolutions asking our
lawmakers not to pass such a law
that they had rather have better SER
vice than lower fares and that was
sensible, but they, in face of all this,
come out and want the railroads to
pay heavy tax for automobiles, etc.
to travel on which really is against
them for those highways generally
run parallel with the railroads and
many travelling statesmen will travel
in cars because they could stop at all
| or
business and pull out for the next
store or town any time they wanted
to, and they could not do that travel
ling on the train, so you can readily
see that it is against the railroads and
still they cry, "Give us better service"
"Oh, consistency, thou art a jewell"
And again, how does it help cotton
mills and all manufacturing compa-
nies? They have to pay their part
and what do they get? If worked,
IN mill | never would vote one cent
on them, but do everything I could for
them to make money, for know if
they did they would be able to paw
me better wages. Think, dear wage
earners, and act wisely.
l recently saw two sweet girls on
their way back to school. | wish
MoXy could have seen them.
Mr., Oetzel Gault improves very
slowly.
Miss Kate Garner of Kelton, who
is one of Mrs. Clifford's students, ac-
companied by Miss Mamie Wright
of Aiken, came home with Miss Kate
last Friday and they returned today
to resume their studies. like to
see our Pea Ridge girls studying to
prepare themselves for future life.
