August S. 1909. ^ to1 ? tri If Mr. Wiswall measures lane! like he measures counties he would b?? worth millions to a progressive real estate dealer. ve This is the time df year when the newspaper rule of writing about good roads when you can't write about anything else should sa be reversed. In less than four Ai weeks the farmer will beg;n to haul his cotton to town and he will se need the best of roads to ficilitate the handling of the crop. Supervisors everywhere should instruct Ju overseers to look after their roads ei and have them in excellent con- ey dition by the time the cotton move- a ment begins h* sh Although the campaign is more than 12 months off the political yC l>ot has begun to boil and the indications are there will be lively ^ er times in the 6th. congressional district next year. The war whoop ^ has not been heard yet, but sever?T< al you.ik braves, so rumor nas it, have donned the war-paint and are ej out on the trail looking for ConKressman Ellerbe's scalp. So far ^ as can be learned Mr. Ellerbe will ei stand for re election and rumor sj has it that he will be opposed by Hon. J. M. Speares of Darlington, j Hon. T. I Rogers of Marlboro, Hon. D. A. Spivey of Hor.y and ? Hon. J W. Ragsdale of Florence, ^ with Georgetown and Williamsbuig vet to hear from. The time ^ is a long way off yet and there may be other aspirants from some of a the counties named, but even if the list does not get any longer the D good people win nave enoug:n to amuse them. ? It A well-meaning: friend remarked the other day that the publica- s< tion in the last issue of The Her- ai aid of an article from the Marion Vt at Star alleging: certain errors in the survey of the county was taken as m ' an indication that the New County people had surrendered. But our friend is wrong:. The article was published for the purpose of infor- nc ming: the people and showing: them both sides of a controversy in ce which they are so vitally interested. 'j* There is danger in under-estima sc ting the strength of your opponent, ? CO particularly when playing the game of politics, and the better the peo- ^ pie are informed in the New County movement the better able they ^ Wj will be to act and work, either col 03 iectivelv or individually. The of. New County advocates have not surrendered. They have encountered difficulties that would have weakened less stauncher hearts, but the men behind this movement are men of determination and do not know how to spell the word "surrender." It has been a long and tedious fight and as the end C: aporoaehes the situation becomes ^ more complex and the difficulties at more numerous, but instead of sur- a* Tenderintr thev art* more like the immortal Paul Jones?"they have %( just begun to fight." yc O Judge Solomen A. Bethea, who ^ attracted widespread attention by . DC his vigorous prosecutions of the beef trust some years ago, died at ^ his home in Chicago Monday morning. Judge Bethea was born at Dixon, 111., in the year 1852, but the belief is that he is a lineal descendant of the well known Bethea family of this county. Some years ago he made an effort to race his ancestry and the corre>pondence he had with some of vc the Bethea's in this county led ka him to believe that his great- ^ grandfather imigrated to Illinois st from Marion about the beginning r rfthe 19th. century. In the willjni , one of the original Sw tramp Betheas provision was ms r a "son who went away acr e mountains" and never retu .

On the return trip the " the author of the story was told that Tx rm the woman's husband had been ive out fishing and when he returned ai jjs home the little coon picked up a tiny flounder and swallowed it be- ?,s fore his father could inieifere. ?05 The fish lodged in the kid's throat .tes and was immovable despite the (se. mother's frantic efforts.
