No announcement has yet been
made concerning the public road be
tween Edgefield and Johnston which
is being surveyed by engineers of the
state highway commission. It is very
probable, however, that the direct

obstacle in the way of the adoption
of the latter -s the securing of rights
of way.

lightful refreshments which the hos

dance.
Some of the candidates insulted in
telligent women in the campaign
two years ago by ridiculing them and
dubbing, them "suffragettes." You
couldn't pay a candidate enough to
adopt such a campaign : policy this
year. And, mark us, when these of
fenders of two years ago run for of
fice again they will do their best to
have the women forget their ridicule
of the past. But too late. Women are
not fools.

Fourth Candidate for House.
The race for the house has.as
sumed a different aspect. The entry
of Mr. J. W. Bledsoe of Johnston
this week, whose candidacy is an
nounced in this issue, makes it a four
sided race, with the possibility of a
second primary. Mr. Bledsoe is well
known to the people in some .sections
of the county and will visit every sec
