WHY TRADE At HOME!

The advice to trade in your home
town is very frequently given to the
dwellers in small cities. The reasonr

Money spent in your own county
will remain in local circulation and
will ultimately find its way into your
own pocket once more. Isn't tina.

THE local merchant helps with his
taxes to maintain your schools, ,2",

When you take all things into con-
sidcration, you can buy just as cheap

as though you sent your money 20 or
1,OUU miles away"
1t is all pretty much true. If some
times the local merchants appear
slow to stock up with things their
iellowtownsmen want, it is likely to
be because they cannot depend upon
local trade and so cannot put in the
stocks they would like to carry. II
they could be sure of regular patron,

Infamous Work of 2
The Boil WeeviI

Various low and mean things have
been attributed to the work of the
boil weevil, besides eating up our cot
ton. The early spring brought a
scare about the boil weevils eating
blackberries and figs and many peo-
pie were afraid to eat the fruit-that
passed over, though, and now comes a
tale that boil weevil is attacking the
frying size chickens by boring into
the brain.
A gentleman living in Union county
said his chickens began to droop and
die and upon investigating found that
the boil weevils were boring into the
brain. Perhaps he was joking; per.
haps he was not. Who knows what
the pesky things will do.
From another section of the county
comes the statement that boil wee.
vii was found in baby's curls. This is
the limit and nobody could stand hav.
ing baby submitted to such indignitie.
as this, and right now some one must
find a remedy to exterminate the vii
lians.

Notice to the Public

Mr.. Editor:
Please allow me SPACE in your col
umns to publish the following infor-
nation for the public and interested
parties, as quite number of citizens
of the county have asked me about
the duties of the County Advisory
Board for this county, relative to road
work, supervision Of the same, and
control of the county engineer.
The act providing for these things
is too long to be published, but will
name some of it's provisions, touching
on these points, and refer those who
want fuller information to the Act of
the General Assembly of this State
for 1921, at page 225, which consti-
tutes the law under which the county
is now being governed and controlled.
The substance of this act is as fol-
lows: The Advisory Board is COM
posed of the following well known cit
izens, to wit: j. E. Minter, of Sedalia,
Henry Smith Of Bogansville township,
and G. B. Sanders, of Union. The two
first named are farmers, the latter a
merchant. The members of the board
are named by the county legislative
delegation, and appointed by the gov
ernor, and, in the event of vacancy
the remaining members are empower
| ed to select a successor, or fill such
vacancy. The county engineer is Sc.
lected and chosen by the Advisory
Board, and may be discharged by
them when his services are no longer
desired; his salary is fixed by the
board, which may not exceed $4,000
per year, nor less than $4,000. The
county engineer has charge of th'
chain gang, all the roads and bridge:
of the county, hires all foremen ant
other laborers. The Advisory Board
however, fixes all wages of these coun
ty employees, however, and the rat,
of pay for all work done for the coun
ty, and no new road may be layed out
or opened, without the approval of th'
board, which is also charged with tn,
duty and responsibility Of purchasing
all supplies and equipment for tn
county. Ali policies relating to roa'
work is determined by the board.
The Advisory Board meets once {
month, but may be called in specia
meeting by the county supervisor, ant
the members of the board get $50,
per day for the days they meet, to
gether with their actual expenses, bu
they may not receive more than On
Hundred Dollars in any one year.
The supervisor is under a Thre
Thousand Dollar Bond, for the prope
performance of his duties. The coun
y ty engineer is under a $25, 900 bon
for the faithful and proper perform
ance of the duties of his Office.
With thanks for your courtesy i
allowing me to use your paper fo
this purpose, I am
r Yours very truly,

LAST WARNING
TO VOTERS

Enroll by next Tuesday, the 25th,
or you cannot vote.
A telegram from the state chairman
says Every light enrolment through
out the state. Urge necessity for pub
licity and effort on part of enrolment
committees" This applies to our;
county. This is my last warming; the
books must positively close next Tues
day. You have but six more days
now. We have now done all We know
to get you to qualify to vote in the
primary. You can not do so unless
you enroll by the 25th. If you still
neglect to do so then you can blame
TO one but yourself when you will not
be allowed to vote.
Enrolling is very simple. All that
is required, if you are entitled to vote
otherwise, is to go in person and per-
sonally write your full name, correct
age, occupation and address on the
book. You do not need registration
certificate to enroll and vote in the
primary. But, you do have to prop
erly enroll. Prior enrollments-for
the city primary for instance-do
not count in the approaching primary.
Every one must enroll for this pri-
mary-that is, since the books were
open last month.
l am informed that In some few
cases a man enrolls his wife's name.
That will not do. Each person must
personally enroll. Then I am told that,
some few have omitted to write their
age, or address or occupation. That is
not a compliance with the require
ments, and such omission will not per-
nit the party to vote. Any one who
has thus failed to properly enroll 60
back to your book and correct the err
ror at once, and thus qualify yourself.
Enrollmen committees, please do
your best to get all to enroll properly.
The books must close next Tuesday,
and within three days thereafter the
secretaries must return the books to
me. See Rule IL of the Party

County Chairman.
