FRIDAY, April Alb, 1918.
ANNOUNCEMENT.


Conditions due to the war and
illness TO the Senior Editor for
the past year forced the younger
publisher of the Independent to
follow the old adage, Necessity
is the mother Of invention" and
not only perform the work Of Edi-
tor but % learn and do the work of
printer, hence, sometimes caus-
ing delay in our paper reaching
the hands Of our readers; delay in
publication of matters Of interest
and sometimes the failure to pub
lish other items because the same
could not be handled.
We have now secured the ser
vices OF a competent, bright and
energetic young man as compost
tor and general manager of our
printing office and viii henceforth
be able to serve the public efici-
emily and in the same high Greer
that we have done before we met
with the difficulties which faced
us as mentioned in the outline of
this article
We, therefore, beg to announce
that we are fully prepared to give

In our local columns we pub
lished a statement showing the
amount OF money received by the
Road Commissioners after as
Stunning control Of the local road
system under the Acts Of 1918 to.
eether with the amount so farex.
pended on road work, salariesand
miscellaneous items. Only
small amount was expended last
year due TO the conditions that
confronted the Road Commission
because of shortage of labor and
to the fact that the 1918 levy was
notayailable until late in the year
The Commission this year will
have over $4,000 to begin work
with and we sincerely trust that
they will be able to accomplish
some lasting and effective results.
The little accomplished already
and what is likely to be accom-
plished this year could or can be
accomplished by one board as
well as another. as we have al
ways contended, but the real
milk in the cocanut is that nothing
effective can be accomplished
without money and the support
and cooperation of the people.
The money now available if ex-
pended all for labor, food, materi-
ais etc, will not go far towards
building permanent and good Ia
teral roads. If the people, how
ever, will back up the Commits
sion and assist it with their labor,
teams, etc, something effective
and practical can be accomplish
ed.
OF course with a very large
sum of money any good set of
men can accomplish lasting and
good results, but the levying
more money for road purposes
is out OF the question at this time
even if it were possible to do so
as the people are already taxed
to death and cannot stand further
taxation. This being true as we
see it the only way for the people
to obtain good and permanent
lateral roads is to pitch in and as
sist the Road Commission. Good
roads cannot be built by talk or
criticism but by cooperation and
faction, hence, we suggest to the
people of the various districts Of
the county to go before the Road
Commission at its next meeting,
point out to the board the roads
that need repairing or rebuilding
and make them an offer of active
! assistance by furnishing labor,
teamsand gravel and then get
together on line Of action that
will produce the desired results.
In this way and only in this way
can our dreams of permanent
and lasting lateral highways in
our county being constructed
come true.

A Bog OF Oranges.

Andrew Carnegie, one Of the worlds
richest men, was the son Of poor
Scotch weaver He early learned the
advantages OF economy. AT the age Of
ten he saved few shillings enough to
buy box Of oranges-which he prompt
y peddled at a profit OF 100 per cent.
AT twelve he was brought to America
and put to work in a mill, His earnings
were 20 cents day
While still a young man, he managed,
through thrift, to accumulate $500.
which he invested His first dividend
served as the inspiration for his achieve
rnents and financial power in later years
But the seed Of his prosperity was
first sown when he invested the few
shillings he had saved in a box Of
oranges.
There are boxes of oranges all about
us today--only they go under a different
name. Wise men see them-invest, and
reap the profits in success.
There are men-and women, too-who
sense the possibilities Of small begin
nins even as aFnegie. Get your box
Of oranges toda. Buy w. S. S, and
keep on buying them.

cALLsPREsIDENT wIIsoNsocIAIIsr

Reading President Wilson out
Of the democratic party, charact-
erizing him as a socialist and de
claring that he has prescribed
the real democracy of the coun-
try, former Senator Joseph W.
Bailey Of Texas, in letter to
Leon 0. Bailey Of New York, as
serts that within two years the
democratic party must either re-
pudiate President Wilson or it
must embrace practically all Of
the socialists doctrines.
The former Texas senator in
his letter declares that President
Wilson has coerced the democra-
tic party into an unwilling and
reluctant support Of many socia-
Istie measures.
Before his term expires, the
former senator writes, he will
have committed us, unless his
power in that regard is ehalleng-
ed, irrevocably to socialism, I'M
der the guise OF progressive
democracy.
Former Senator Bailey in his
letter asserts that President
Wilson was elected in 1916 by the
votes Of socialists who had voted
for Debs in 1912, and that he ex-
cludes real democrats from con
ference with-him, and takes into
closest confidence until Mr..
Bailey thinks, 'the time has come
when men who are not willing to
become socialists must speak
out.
The letter was written in reply
to a communication from Leon o.
Bailey OF New York, received af-
ter the former senator's New
York speech, theother Bailey in
terpreting Some of the former
senator's remarks on that occa-
sion to mean that the Texan had
withdrawn from his original po-
litieal affiliations.

clans in Washington were de

To the Teachers and Patrons of the
Public Schools.

I
Your attention is invited to the i'm
portance of better care Of the Text
Books in the schools Of the county.
In my visits to the various schools
[ find great numbers Of defaced and
discarded text books.
While these books apparently, are
furnished the pupils free from all cost,
it should be remembered, that every
tax payer is contributing to the state
money to pay for all books furnished
the county.
Aside from the financial loss to the
county. there is another lesson for our
boys and girls that should not be over
looked, one that I think all will agree
has been brought home to us as never
before during the last two years: That
we should train our children in habits
of thrift and industry. Are we doing
this when we allow them to wilfully or
carelessly destroy text books and other
school property
Habits instilled in childhood are
carried on to adult life.
There are many on the downward
path today. because Of some ones neg
lect to point to IA Importance OF at
tention to the seemingly small things
OF lie.
For the sake Of our boys and girls,
the future citizens of the county,
earnestly urge the patrons to cooper
ate with the teacher in their efforts TO
secure better care OF text books and all
school properly.
Very truly yours,
F. BERNARD GWYNN.
County Superintendent.
