Discusses Road Bond Issue

Dear Editor of The Sentinel: l thank
you for printing copy of the act pro-
viding for issuing $3.50, 900 for road i'm
provement in Picken county. / am
heartily in sympathy with bonds and the
purpose and design of it. reluctantly
discuss same. have no axe to grind,
but only desire the development and i'm
provement Of Pickens county
The only question apprehend is the
constitutionality Of the bond issue. 1t
seems to me that the people should have
been consulted in regard to the same,
and allowed to vote on it, because the
people have to pay the bond. 1t is
matter of extraordinary consideration
and very important to every man and
woman in the county. Chester Chero-
kee and several other counties are sub
mitting the matter of issuing bonds for
good roads to the people. BY disallow-
ing their vote on it it is now the princi-
pie OF taxation without representation.
This principle chiefly caused the Revo-
lutionary war
Another constitutional question is that
all acts must contain only one subject.
This attempts to require the supervisor
to consolidate and combine his duties
with other officers when they require it.
1t makes the supervisor subservient to
the special commission, which may have
tendency to diminish his efficiency and
duty and weaken his authority. One
county officer cannot perform his duty
and at the same time aid and assist
other officers to do their duty. The re-
suit will be conflict and confusion. For
illustration: suppose the supervisor has
hands and road machine repairing road
in the eastern part Of the county and
the special commission requires him to
discontinue that work and move to the
western part Of the county, This would
defeat all Of his plans where he was at
work. You can see at glance the in
jury that would result. The consttu-
tion never did contemplate such COM
bining of offices and duties.
The fact that the people did not vote
on the bonds will have tendency to
embarrass the sale Of the bonds on the
market.
Our representatives deserve the com
mendation of our county for making an
effort to make road improvement, but
the act should be amended in some sec.
tions, think.
! Very respectfully,
JOSEPIIUS II. NEWTON.

your kinsmen, but to all with whom you
have come in contact. Would that many
more of US were capable of doing the
good which you do!
From your life of American and Chris
tian womanhood l, with many others,
have learned immeasureable lessons of
love, cheer, and hope
Let me return to you my hope Of a
most enjoyable birthday-spen within
the confines of d worthy sons love.
With many others my wish is that you
may see many more birthdays, each
surprising in JOY and good the one just

earthly abode, may be able to see you
in the heavenly JOY of birthday spent
in the sublime palaces of, our Fathers
home.

sire to be with YOU soon, l close with
an humble blessing tor your welfare.

ENHANCE THE BEAUTY OF
HOME-GROUNDS
BY [. M. BENNINGTON.

Copy nature by sowing seeds Of per
ennials as they ripen. Provide some
sort of shade for the seedbed. A screen
made of lath or one of unbleached
muslin will answer.
The robust-growing plants will need
some sort of support. Let the support
be painted green or oiled to bring out
the grain of the wood, and you will
find them more pleasing than rough
sticks and far more satisfactory. Drive
the stakes fast into the earth little
lower than the plants, so that they are
lnconspicuOus.
The plants needing supports are such
hardy perennials as delphiniums, giant
foxglove and snapdragons. Do not
overlook giving stakes to dahlias, cos
mos, hydranges and gladioli.
70 maintain continuous blooming
make habit Of cutting flowers freely,
and remove all the fading blossoms,
and nature will reward you with
lavish hand.
If you want your bed Of cannas or
border of caladiums to make a grand
tropical showing, give them a frost
like covering of bonemeal; then stir
the soil, water thoroughly, and mulch
with lawn clippings. Be sure to re-
move the fading flowers.

SLOW WITHOUT ADVERTISING
Merchant May Eventually Establish
Reputation Among Small Circle,
but II Takes Years and Years.

Without advertising, merchant
can eventually build reputation for
his store among those who chance to
come into it, and among their friends,
so that they will have confidence in
him and in his clerks or salespeople,
so that they will buy goods more read
lily, having greater confidence. But
that takes years and years.
Through advertising, salespeople
sell more goods in a given number Of
hours because, through advertising,
the merchant has made the public
know that it is safe to buy from him,
and the salespeople do not have to ar
que the merits of the goods. All
wool is all wool and fast colors are
fast.
The simple result is that each
salesperson sells more goods in a
given number of hours and his or her
salary is distributed over a greater
number of sales, so that the cost of
selling the goods is actually reduced

THE TEMPERING OF BRONZE
knowledge Of How to Do II Perlehed
With Hiram Ablf, Man Of Tyre,
According to Tradition.

When King Solomon had reached a
certain stage in the building Of the
temple OF Jerusalem he wanted the
help Of metal workers, for his people
knew little of that art. Therefore
he sent to his nelghbor, Hiram, king Of
Tyre, traditional descendant of Tubal
Cain, the pioneer of workers in brass
and iron. Brass In those days was
not brass, as II is understood now, but
properly bronze, observes the New
York Sun. So King Hiram sent his
master of craft, Hiram Ablf.
The Bible relates that che was
widows son of the tribe of Naphtali,
and his father was man of Tyre, IA
worker in brass, and he was filed with
wisdom and understanding and cum
ming to work all works in brass"
Masonry holds Hiram Ahlf as its
founder and Masonic tradition has 1t
that this master metal worker was
murdered by jealous artisans in Solo
mons service.
It seems that Solomon wanted HI
ram Abif to teach one of his men how
to fashion and to mix that wonderful
bronze so that he, too, should have
a master of the craft in his own king
dom. News of this came to the ears
of lesser artisan, who also had as
plrations. Therefore when the temple
was finished and the night before the
man of Tyre was to return to his ma
tive city. he was waylaid and MUIR
dered after refusing to divulge the
secret of his cunning.
From that day on, the tradition is,
no more of that wonderful material
was made, but existing bronze imple-
ments were melted up and worked
over from time to time that weapons
might be fashioned for the fighting
men.
