admit that they ought to have thor

Herbert Walkers mother, who is now in
her SD year, has a knitting record of
which she may we'll be proud. She has
knit, during the year, over loo pairs of
stockings for the Red Cross. Twenty
eight Of these went TO the branch at
Barre, where she spent the summer; five
to the Proctorsville branch, which fur.

local branch was temporarily exhausted,
and the rest to the Ludlow branch. Dur

1t has already been determined that
an injustice was done the towns Of
Fletcher and Kirby for placing them in
the list of four Vermont towns which
had not sent man into the service of
the nation during the present war.
Fletcher was represented by more than a
dozen men and Kirby with smaller
number, Now it is stated, in addition,
that the town of Glastonbury should be
taken out Of the list inasmuch as one
soldier at least from that town has been
identified. That leaves only the little
town of Baltimore, which has popua-
tion Of 20, as being the only town in the
state to furnish man. Perhaps Balti.

Truth Would Have Served Better.
(Greenville News, 15th,)

Sentenced to serve 12 months in
the penitentiary on account of maxi
ing false afiidavits in his question:
naire, Rob Evitt, young white man
who formerly resided at Woodside
mill, could have been exempted with
out the least trouble because all of
the toes on one Of his feet have been
burned off and he could not have
passed the physical examination. The
reason for his action in going to the
trouble Of getting false afrdavits
from his wife and OF making mis-
statements himself cannot be figured
out by court officials, when he could
have been easily exempted on ac-
count. Of the condition Of his feet.
Evitt is the young man who claim
ed that he had supported his wife for
some time past and got her to sign an
affidavit to that effect when she was
sick at Durham and did not know
what she was signing. AS a matter
Of fact, he had contributed nothing
TO his wife's support, but had been
living with another woman at the
mill where he resides.
The sentence of one year in the
Atlanta penitentiary was imposed
upon him at the term of Federal
Court just ended at Greenwood, ac-
cording to officials Of the court who
returned to Greenville yesterday.

HOW TO HAVE GOOD ROADS.
A Liberal Use Of the Split-Log Drag
Will Solve the Question.
Greenwood Journal.)

Greenwood Journal
Reports reaching the city are to
the effect that the several committees
appointed at the recent meeting here
are having the roads dragged and
that conditions for travel in many
sections are very much improved
Those who are yet to do this work
may receive an impetus from the fol-
lowing strong argument in the edi-
torial columns of the Newberry OBJ
server, and may go and do likewise:
A farmer from ten miles out said,
on Saturday, in reply to the Observer
mans question,
How are the roads,
"The best you ever saw"
a few days ago they were describ-
ed as awful" and they are still aw-
FL! IN sonic sections where the split
log drag Is NOT used.
Our informant said the dragging Of
the roads had been more general
since the recent rains than ever be-
fore, and consequently the roads are
good.
All that Is needed to have good
roads the year. round is for the peo-
pie to get the habit OF dragging them
regularly and Systematically after
the rains. If they will do that they
will find, instead OF rain making the
roads worse, they contribute toward
making them better, by preparing
the way for smoothing them in the
rough places.
