Until recent years there ha
been but little attention pai
to the building of good road

work. At first wo mot wit
many obstacles but gradual!
the people have come to realiz
what good roads mean to th
development of the State.
Wit h the coming of the aut<
mobile improved highways ar
more necessary than ever. An
tomobiles in this State areowr
ed by every class of citizenship
including the farmer, merchan
professional men, and'in fact a
who are interested in Soutl
Carolina's development.
I am glad to see that your
, paper has become actively inter,
ested in this matter of good Gj
- roads and that you are co-oper- i0
. ating with other papers of the v<
. State in a systematic campaign h
, for better highways. n
There is no State that is mak- a
. ing more progress along all lines ^
: than is South Carolina. As h
good roads develop, better a
- schools will be built in the rural 0
. districts, for good roads and ^
b schools naturally go together.
Assuring you that the South \

A Word to Baptist Pastors.
Brethren, you are the leaders
l the people among whom you
,bor. Your flocks know your
oice and they will hear and
eed that voice when they would
either hear or heed the voice of
stranger. Since this is true,
rhen any institution needs the
earty support and the financial
id of your people, you are the
ne, by virtue of your position,
> most easily secure such help.
The
, v.wv AiVlWlVy I llj ClU Ul A
tile belongs to and is absolutely
ontrolled by the Baptists of the
Ickens, Piedmont and Twelve
lile h'iver Associations. The
/ork <>ii the building is moving
lon^ at a decidedly encouranit;
rale, but we need about two
liousand more dollars. Pastors
ou know who in your con^re:aticd
has that money and who
u^;ht to tiive it to this cause.
Kindly lend us your support
?y sending the school a ii"ood
ontribution from each of your
hurclies. V. K. Hector, the tllancial
a^ent and also t he prin
IjkiI of your school, will gladly
resent. the work to any church
esirinj his services. Send all
ontrilmtioitf* to V. E. Rector,

Mr. Editor: Will allow
pace in your valuable pa?er to
ay a few words about the road
liiestion.
The roads in this section havo

in<I are in an awful had shape,
'lie majority of the men havo
>aid their one dollar and a half,
o that they will not have to
vork, and the scrape has not

aise more money, or ? <> hack to

nain reads out of Pickens in
our different directions and to
nake them so that thev will be
sverlasting. This would benefit
learly everybody and the ex)ense
would be as nothing coni>ared
to the benefits accruing.
I had rather pay five dollars a
rear taxes and have good roads
han to have put up with such
is we have.
Corn in this section is looking
ine and cotton growing fast but
s going to be late.
Mrs. H. J. Lewis, who has
>een sick for several months, is
getting better.
The Rev. Mr. Walker will be?
