for all culverts, and make the cul-
verts sufficiently large to carry the
water easily. Put them we'll under
the surface Of the road-bed. Use only
good white oak sills under all small
bridges. You may buy some good red
oak to floor these bridges and to re-
pair holes in larger ones.
| will attend to the building and
oyerhauling Of all larger bridges my
self.

NEGRO PREACHER TOLD TO GO.
Delivered Address Considered to be
Inimfcal to Pcacc Of Community

Hampton, Jan. 7.-According to
the best information obtainable,
Chief Of Police Eugene Stanley and
former Chief G. w. Fennell, of tho
Hampton forct. attended an Enamel
patton Day meeting at Hepsibah Bap-
'ist church In the edge Of town at
about noon on Saturday. Jan. [, in
order to ascertain the nature of the
meeting and to see that order was
observed.
The principal feature Of the pro-
gram was an Emancipation Day
speech by Rev. p. p. Watson, of
Columbia. The officers construed the
speech to be inimical to the general
peace, good order and good feeling
existing between the races horc. 1t
seems that Watson emphasized "or-
ganization" too much. He told his
hearers what rights they had and to
what extent they should go to pro-
tect them, but that they could never
expect to protect their rights unless
they were properly "organized," and
just here he used an illus stration Of
a traveller In a buggy cutting at the
leaves and bushes with his whip, but
he would not tackle wasp nest be-
cause the waspe were "organized.
The officers had Watson come to
Solicitor Warren's office in order that
Mr.. Warren might tell him that the
whites and negroes were doing we'll
here, and that outside agitators
might cause trouble 1t Is under
stood that Mr.. Warren told Watson
that the negroes here would continue
to do we'll unless agitated and inter-
fered with by some outsider, where
upon Watson stated that he did not
say what the officers reported him to
have said. or that they misunder-
stood him. Mr.. Warren advised the
preacher to get out Of town. as his
denial Of making certain statements
in his speech might cause him serious
trouble personally. He left promptly

Maxwell, tied the heads OF his two
fine Jersey cows to the ceiling OF the
barn, and then MIXED them. Mr..

why the thieves wanted tho milk, but t
he could not understand why they

comfortable position. lie did not
mind losing the milk so much as he
did the cruel trca tment OF his good
