most nomentous In the history Of the
game The game went through the most
trying events OF its career. and, from all
indications, through its great popularity

JOCKEY.

Which Jockey did best work In the
saddle during the year In a matter of
conjecture. The riding of two of them
was high class and ranked favorably
with stars Of former years There prob
ably never was n better jockey than
Earl Sande, but he didn't have any more
success or ride any better than did
Buddy Ensor.
But neither was faultless throughout
the season Each had period during
which he tossed or many races. For
a month previous to the Man o. War

because of repeated warnings from his
trainer and pulled up and caused the

FOOTBALL.

Football enjoyed It's full share OF the
affluent sporting year. The college
game went with n whoop and rush
from the outset. and by the time Of the
big November conflict was drawing big
ger crowds than ever before. The

event IN America was on hand In the
Yale bowl on November 20, when Har-

OUR COUNTRY.

One of the South Carolin" andi-
dates for United States Senate this
year is calling the attention of our
people to one of the most vital is
sues that confronts the American peo-
pie today.
1t is the issue of states rights
against centralized federal govern
ment.
State sovereignty is absolutely neces-
sary to protect the rights and liber-
ties of the people under our form of
government. The founders Of this re-
public so recognized it and it is ap-
parent now.
No one will deny that our govern
ment is becoming more centralized
in Washington.
The sovereignty of the states is grad
ually being undermined and taken
away.
A continuance Of this practice will
inevitably and absolutely lead to an
autocracy in this country.

What Farmer" Says About Roads.

Mr.. Editor: Will you please allow
me a small space in your valuable
paper to say few words relating to
the condition of the roads in the lower
part of Williamsburg County.
We are paying road tax just as
other counties are, AMI l think that
some others are reapilg the benefit
of it all. l have been Living in Sutton
township for twenty years and there
have never been more than a hundred
or two dollars put on the roads since
| came down here.
Some of the public roads are grow
ing up in bushes, and in some places
having had such long time to grow
they have become trees. Some places
in the road are so narrow now that
there is danger of colliding with other
vehicles.
Again, where goes the money that
the farmers of Williamsburg County
pay for the license to put on those
vehicles? It was understood by The
farmers that all of that money was tc
90 for the benefit Of the roads, but in
stead it's going to some other town

ships, while Suttons and Anderson
are left without money or good roads.
Some of the bridges have even got
ten into such condition that it is i'm
possible to pass over them. There
we have to leave the road and go
through the branch and woods to get
around it and back to the road as
best we can. But still the money is
going where it is not benefiting the
the farmers at all.
This county would do about as we'll
if it never heard of such thing as
road engineer, and cut the road tax
and vehicle license out entirely. There
are holes in the road where buggy
axle or wagon axle will scrape the
the level before the wheel reaches the
bottom. Now what do you think j
man would do in such a hole with an
automobile? or what would lady do
with scary horse if she was to meet
an automobile in such a place?
Therefore, it is the duty of the
county to see about the roads and the
money that Suttons and Anderson
townships are paying for the benefit
