Much Road Work Has Been
Done

Lone
The chain gang has been
moved to Jefferson township. 1t
was kept in Old Store from Feb.
ruarv 18th until May 5th, and
during the time only one day
was lost. Seventeen miles of
sand clay roads have been built,
and ten miles of roads repaired.
1t has been estimated that the
cost of building a mile of sand
clay road is $500. AT this figure
the II miles amount to S., 100,
and estimating the repair work
at $500 we have a total of SIS, 500.
About $500 of road tax has been
spent through the efficient town
ship commissioner, Mr.. ]. E.
Agerton, and nearly all the free
labor for the year has been used.
Along with this the people have
given much valuable assistance
1t is estimated that the people
have furnished an average of
ten teams day for the time the
gang has been in the township.
This would be worth about
$l400. 1t is further estimated
that the free labor at a dollar
day would amount to about $500
The cost OF the gang for this pc
riod is said to be about $1,000
The total cost of the work then
seems to be about $3,lO0, and
the work is valued at about
S., 100. a difference of $1,000.
Work has been done on the
following roads: PageIand to
Lynche's river by J. A. Arants, a
mile from Five Forks toward
the river on the Tradesville
road; from ]. G. Sanders home
bv Crowburk and Dudley to the
river; from Crowburk TO Asher
Plyler's; from Crowburk to State
line; from Five Forks to Hills
Creek; Hicks road from near r.
W. Calo's to T. !. Rodgers; from
J. N. Sowell's 10 Cookies Mill;
Jefferson road from the Cookies
mill road to the Jefferson town
ship line.
The. people IN each section
manifested a spirit of hearty co
operation, and the work was
rushed from start to finish.
On last Wednesday night the
good people of the White Plains
community gave a supper to the
convicts. There was an abund-
ance of good wholesome food
and the 'hard-worked unfortu
mates hat a feast.
There are now nine townships
IN the county. Dividing the
time of the gang equally among
all there will be month and
ten days TO the township each
year, or two months and twenty
days once in two years. Old
Store has received nearly her
share during the term of the
present supervisor, and the peo
Die are very much obliged to
Mr.. King for giving them what
they are entitled to.

Woman and Preparedness

There is a general impression That
the women of the country are oppos-
ed to the preparedness program. II
is true that the women are advocates
of peace, II is their nature and none
would have them otherwise. On the
other hand. they are not for peace
at any price They know that in
case OF national disaster. they would
suffer most and they expect to SEQ
that this county is prepared TO take
care OF itself should the worst come.
American women believe in mill
tary preparedness against war and
they will have much 70 do with shap-
ing tho military policy OF the United
Chicago club woman, past general
president and present general secre-

State Insurance

We do not think the people OF the
state will take seriously the propo-
sition that the state engage in tha
fire insurance business. The expe-
rience of the state in the liquor bust
ness was quite sufficient we think
to convince the people of the stat
that fields of private endeavor should
be left to individuals, singly or col
lectively. and that when the state
eversteps the constitutional limita-
tions as TO its given rights in cer-
tain particulars. that the result is
not all that could be desired. 1t is
true that the legislature does not
seem to be entirely cured of the dis
ease since Il persists in operating n
warehouse business, which il de-
tends on the grounds of expediency.
rather than on constitutional
grounds. But if the wareh 0use
commissioner, seeking to usurp the
authority Of the insurance commits

put the state in the insurance bust
ness. undertakes OF cause it TO as

few inmates of the play neither side
made goal, each team seemingly
testing the strength of its oppon-
aged TO make one; then several
guarding and line fouls were called
on Lancaster by the referee, who
was especially keen on calling fouls
team took advantage of the fouls
and made number of points on free
throws. The first half ended with
score OF 6 to in favor OF Lancas-
ter.
After ten minutes rest the teams
began to play harder than ever. In
this half. as the Lancaster team was
more careful about its guarding, and
the Richburg team less careful. Ian
caster had chance to add to her
score. At one time in this half how
ever. the score stood IL to 10 in fa-
vor OF Richburg. At the end OF the
game the scorer announced that
Lancaster had won by score Of
II to IL.
For Richburg the individual play
ing of Miss McCrary, particularly in
making foul goals, of Miss brennan.
in the field and OF Miss Bratton in
guarding were the features Of the
game The excellent team play OF
the Lancaster team was remarked
upon by a number Of the spectators
The quick passing between the guards
and between the forwards on Lam
casters side was unusually pretty.
