We do not know the provisions of
the act passed by the recent legisla-
ture ordering an election on the issue
of 100000 in bonds for the purpose
of building roads but we agree with
the Abbeville Press and Banner and
have said the same thing many times
that it would be foolish to spend
money building any sort Of roads un-
less provision was made to keep the
roads in repair. We have had illus
tration of the folly of that right here
in our own county in small way of
course but the provision for the
proper maintenance of the roads is
really OF more Importance than the
building of them. Every one knows
our position on the matter of build
ing good roads. We have advocated
the issuing of bonds for many years
as the only really sensible plan for
getting something worth while but at
the same time provision should be
made for the upkeep.
The $4,000 a mile road that was
recently built from Prosperity to Lit
tie Mountain is really fine road but
unless some provisions made right
now for the upkeep it will not be
good road very long. Some of you
remember the mile of government
road as we called it that was built
some years ago near Mr.. John c..
Neel's. It was fine road for long
time but for lack of the right sort of
attention you can not tell now where
it begins or ends. And so we want
to say with the Press and Banner un-
less our bond act itself makes some
provision for maintenance, mo per-
SON should vote for the bond issue
who is not prepared to support the
next delegation in the general assem-
bly, in providing for a good working
fund to keep the roads in proper
shape"
Otherwise money spent in building
roads will be wasted even though we
get good road to start with. There
is no more important necessity now
before the people of this county es-
Decially the farmers than the ques-
ton of building better roads and we
hope to see the people practically
unanimous in so voting and then un-
animous in providing proper main
tenance.

We understand that the growth in
Anderson, and there has been growth,
has been largely just outside the cor
porate limits, and yet in fact is a part
of the city. North Anderson is in
fact part of Anderson city and un-
less you happen to know where the
dividing line is you could not tell
where the city limits begin or end.
And that there has been steady and
substantial growth like this there is
no doubt.
For census purposes the township
in this state is the unit, and the pop
ulation is tabulated by townships,
and the cities seraratively of course,
where the township includes more
than the city and then the city is
taken and tabulated by wards.
In the case of Anderson the town
ship is coextensive with the city and
the only subdivision in that case is by
wards.
1t is also fact, as Mayor FAINT
points out, in the case not only of
Anderson but of other cities, that a
great many negroes have left the
cities in this section for one reason
and another, and it is also true that
a great many have left the state. And
even with these facts Anderson city
shows about a normal growth.
So far as Columbia is concerned
we do not see any good cause for any
one to make protest, because
growth of AZ per cent. in ten years
is much more than normal growth
and any city that shows that as
substantial and permanent growth
should be very proud Of the record,
if a larger number of people in any
community is a record of which to be
proud.
If the cities desire to show the
real population including the suburbs
then they should extend the limits or
do as the State suggests, take a
radius of so many miles and state
the city limits and then the compari-
son would be fair, but to take city
Of one mile radius or two miles and
compare it with, a city of four miles
s not a fair comparison of growth.
But the census department must have
some fixed rule as to the unit of the
civil division and the natural way is
to take the township and the county
and then the state.
1t is but natural that these towns
and cities that have been making eX-
traordinary claims as to population
should enter protests when the actual
figures are given, because otherwise
it would be an admission that they
were just claiming without any sub
stantial foundation for the claim. 1t
lis not so bad for the country if some
of the towns should not show big in
creases but rather a good omen.
What we should regret to see is de-
crease in the rural districts because
now is the time we should desire to
see the movement back to the farm
so as to have greater production.
AS we understand it the census
figures that are now being published
by the department have not yet been
officially certified to congress and if
any Of the people of any of the
towns or cities have not been count
ed or have been omitted in the count
and the tabulation, and the facts are
made known they may yet be added
to the official figures. There is still
opportunity to make corrections if
they are legitimate and it is shown
that errors have been made.

FARMERS MOVING ALONG
WITH THEIR FARM WORK

Last week was fine week for the
farmers and on all sides and in
many fields the plowman was going
from early morn until late at even
ing. And the work was moving along
rapidly toward preparation for the
making of the next crop.
l drove out with Mr.. w. T. Brown
ir his car to the burial of my old
friend Captain William H. Sondley
on Friday morning. The burial was
in the cemetery where once stood
Mt. Bethel Presbyterian church near
the Wadlington place now the fine
country place of Prof. Thomas w.
Katt. And not far from Enoree
Baptist church. There is no church
there now, the building being taken
away sore dozen or more years ago,
l am tol, l frankly admit l did not
know there ever was such a church
in Newberry county and l had fiat
tered myself that I had been to
every church in the county, or at
least knew of the location of the
church. l looked up the history of
the churches as given in the Annals
of Newberry and l do not find such
church mentioned there among the
Presbyterians. 1t must have been
organized many years ago because IN
the cemetery are some very old
graves dating back beyond the mid
die of the last century. On one of
the tombs was the name Boozer and
on another Bushardt and Paysinger.
Mr.. Sondley's father, Col. John K.
Sondley. and his mother and brother
are buried here. There is very little
attention given to the care of the
graveyard and no evidence now Of
the place where the church building
stood. They buried Captain. Sondley
with the beautiful and solemn Mason
ic ceremony conducted by the Rev:
f. Y. Babb and there were many and
elaborate floral tributes which conf
pletelv covered the mound beneath
which lay the remains of our friend.
We drove via the Gibson or Cald-
we'll road and returned by the cour-
/ ty home road. This is fine section
of the county and there are some
! beautiful farms out this side. The
Brown brothers, W. T. and J. A.
Brown, now own the Gibson place
and Mr.. J. A. Brown is out on the
farm. He has the fields on either
side of the road as you approach the
Buncombe road in fine condition for
the planting and the making Of a
crop. The terraces are so construct
ed that you just plow and plant right
right on over them and they prevent
land from washing and do not leave
the unsightly bitches in the field. He
was working them up with farm
tractor the day we passed, and It is
a real pleasure to look on such a
farm and it is the only way to farm.
Put your land in good condition De-
fore you plant and then the working
is easy. The Brown brothers have
Just about completed a magnificent
new modern house at the turn of the

Referring again to the Mt. Bethel
