To the Editor of The News: I- am not accustomed to writing foi a paper, but I hope these few lines will escape the waste basket. I have no better way of showing uiy appreciation ror wtiat our count> supervisor is now doing in our township. It seems that he is determined to put all our roads in good rei pair, and especially the clay roads o< our community, and I truly hope thai he will be able before his term expires to do something for our sandy roads, for they are the worst roads in the world, I believe, and we arc looking forward with fond anticipation to the time when our sand^ 1 roads will be clayed. We are beginning to believe that the time has come when our most Important roads will receive the attention so much needed. We believe we have at last one who will give all parts their dues. It seems that he is going to do more for us than any one of his predecessors. He has been working , some roads this week that have not 1 been worked before in four years. I have been Informed that he has just j worked one that had not been worked before in sixteen years. We have two roads that we are especially interested in, the road leading out from Kershaw to Taxahaw; we would highly appreciate having it clayed; also the road leading from Taxahaw to and by Charlesboro. If we had those two roads clayed we wouiu nave a goon road to any of the nearby towns?Kershaw. Pageland, or Jefferson. Three more miles would finish our Kershaw road and about four miles would complete the other road. So hoping that these few lines will find space in your col iimns, I will close for the present. T.

It delighted me to see the stand he has taken against the moving picture shows, soft drinks and baseball playing. All ol these are evils and should be opposed..

Just go anywhere, the church not excepted, and you will be nearly smoked out. I have seen the accursed things rolled until I as disgusted beyond measure. A little piece of paper filled with tobacco and opium, and fire stuck to one end of it and a fool at the bther end. It's wrong, boys. Let's do away with the habit I am glad to learn that my friend, Mr. Twitty. Is able to go out to church again. I do not know what his profession is, Baptist, Methodist or any of the other professions. Neither do I care. The thing which should concern us most Is for us to be able to say, I am a Christian. If we are true Christians we all belong to the Royal Family, though I am proud to say I am a Baptist. Why am I a Rnntlst' T hellovo It* an d<*i>.<?

On Julv ifith when 'came out from under that steep. . rough and hot hill near Cook's mill, we were tired, hungry and hot. But our hearts leaped for joy for the good people of this community had gathered together and prepared a great feast for us. They met us with , well-filled baskets, spread out the dinner and told us to help ourselves. We cannot find words to thank the good women who prepared this meal for us. But they can never be forgotten, and we believe that if we ever have the opportunity to work their road again that they, too, will remember us. We feel that we have not done enough for these good people. But only hope that we can come hack again in the near future and do more for them. Hoping this will escape the waste basket and find space in vour naner. I beg to remain, the people's humble servant, A. J. MORGAN. Taxahaw, July 18. Mr. W. H.
