COME ALL YE FAITHFUL Easter time is here?the heart turns to God in gratitude for the promise of the spring. The war is won. a glorious victory for the principles of justice and right. Players from millions of hearts go up in thanksgiving for their loved one spared to them, for the end of the period of greatest anguish the ? world has ever known. Nights that were spent in watching, and days in waiting for news, news that one prayed might never come, are over. "Why seek ye the living among the dead?" the Easter angels sing. Your loved ones are coming hack to you, whole and stronger for the experience. "Is it nothing to you. all ye that pass by?"?this greatest gilt v.un which the Father could bless you. the saving of your boy's life? There is no adequate way in which gratitude for this greatest of all blessings can be shown, hut there is one way ir. which thankfulness may bo expressed. It is by helping to insure the victory already won. by making it so secure that there will never again be the necessity for war. This can be done through the whole hearted support of the nation's ideals and principles.Through the prompt and hearty response of 'he whole countrv to the needs of the government true praise may he demonstrated, and the key-stone to the arch of Victory set. making the structure firm for all time to come. Many of the bovs are alreadyback. others arc coming every day and perhaps the last will be home during the summer. Shall we let them come back while the victory they won is still unpaid for. before the key-stone is set? Faster time?peace time?promise time?. Fulfill the promise, keep it on earth forever! WHY AN EXTRA SESSION? For some week:; past Governor Cooper has been practically beseiged with letters and petitions urging 11 ? <?nccinr? nf th<? him to can an v*??* ? South Carolina General Assembly, for the purpose, ostensibly, of formulating' and passing a good road law Haven't the people, the voters of the State, had experience enuogh with its legislative bodies to know that such a move would only be useless ;inr! extra vegant. Whether or not the Governor so regards the matter we do not know, out we dont believe he is in favor <?f calling an extra session. The need of better roads in the State was never more evident than at the time of the last session of the legislature. The need of hotter road law was never more forcibly brought to bear epon the members of that honorable body, and yet, what did jt do. After remaining in session for about forty five days the road ouestion was put to sleep, and the session adjourned. There are n<> assurances thai the same would not be the case if an extra sesion were called now by the Governor. Flut one thing is plain, and that is the enormous expense entailed upon the taxpayers of the State to defray the cost of such a session?something like $150,000 or $200,000. And even if tne legislature should be convened in extra session and by accident, or otherwise provide a mad bill, such a measure 6VV" could n^t become effective short or the time for the convening of the next regular session. The sentiment in Williamsburg county is against an extra session, although .no other county in the State can boast of worse roads. What \ve would like to see and here and now recommend that our county officials get busy and "freeze" on to a portion of that federal money allotted to Williamsburg. under certain specific conditions. for road improvement work. Laurie Rhodes of Walterboro. will spend the term of his natural life in the state penitentiary, or upon the public works of Colleton county, as a result of an attempted criminal a>sault upon a young white girl near Dodge, in upper Colleton.

A FT Ell SUCCESSFUL SESSION The Vox Colore! Gr-ded School ()? Hemingway, Closes J he 1018-9 term of the above; i school has passed into history. We have had quite a successful term, i : under the instruction of Mr. G. H. I Flogler of Marion, and Miss Mabel | i L. Mack of Walterboro. From all j view points this has been one of the j , most successful terms in the history, of 'he school. Miss Mack came to us a stranger,! j .hough ripe in experience as a litacher, having served seven years. .She started work with gloves off, adapted herself to the situation and eon won a place in the hearts of the students and patrons. She was not only useful in the school room, ; i>ut in the church, Sunday School ami League?being a first class musician she rendered excellent service. J j Mr. Flogler's sendees were equal j to the situation. He was generally: liked by both the student body and! the patrons. Mr. Flegler served usj one term before and during his stay: with us, u r found no fait with him.1 We always found him straight in I all his dealings. The closing was quite a treat. On A nril f? was eiven a Die-i nic'at the chool house. The patrons and friends turned out in big numbers with the children. We were highly entertained by the small boys! in their foot races, bag race, pinebur race and the baseball game by the larger boys. The ladies had quite a nice dinner prepared which was enjoyed by all. The commencement program was rendered at the Methodist church, to an overflowing audience, Monday . night, April 7. Never have we wit, nessed. in this section, such a brilliant display of action. It would have been a treat for any one to sit j look and listen to the little ones as , they would come upon the stage, play their parts and come down. ! Not a blunder, everything in fine order. ' The teachers received commenda[ tion and congratulations from all . who were present. !
