The following from the Gaffney.
Ledger is a strong argument for
smaller counties:
"An open confession is good
for the soul" is an old saying, and 1
while ihe matter was settled years,
ago. and Settled right, it is not out;
of the way to quote a remark of j
Mr. M. C. Lipscomb, of the
White Plains section, who was in
the city yesterday. Mr. Lipscomb!
said: "Why I just believed this'
new countv would ruin us. I I
couldn't see where the benefit)
would come in for us to undergo
the expense of a new court house
and jail. But the new county advocates
won out and I am glad of
it. I sec the wisdom of their
course now. I believe in progress
and good roads, and I would |
give $500 out of m y pocket
towards, a good road from (lalTr.ey
to Spartanburg, via mv house."
Mr. Lipscomb has visited Mecklenburg
county twice simply to
inspect her good roads, and he
further said that if Cherokee could
not afford to construct macadam
roads he was in favor of the county
grading her roads as soon as pos
nble and then macadamizing them
later.

About Saving Money.
A North Corolina bank is send
ing out souvenir post cards con1
laining the following: words:
I "$1.00 a year for fifty years is
' only $50 00. but compounded it is
I $290.(K). $50 00 a year for fifty
I years is only $2,500, but at com!
pound interest it is $14,500 "
These two sentences should
have a fascinating meaning for
every man who stops to think
what he might have done if he
had only saved his nickles and
dimes.
1 Think of the people who are
. spenumsf tneir nickies each day,
j and then figure what it would be
! at the end of a few years.
I The above sentences should
j make men and women stop and
I think what they could have done
, had they only started early,
j What you could have done can
! now be done by your boys.
Stop your boys and girls from i
loafing at the dope fountain from
early morning till late at night
and put them to saving the nickles
and dimes in the saving bank,
and in the future they will have
money to buy homes.
It is not the man who makes
money who comes to the front in
! the community, but the man who
i saves money.?Exchange.
