I Wish to say to all my Lexington friends that we are having some real summer weather now down nere in the "Land of Flowers." This is a good old place but when I read your paper and think over my boyhood days and of the faces that were once so dear to me in good old Lexington county I get home-sick.

The roll will close on August 1 for this year so a9 to give tne secretary ana treasurer time to make up their reports for the state meeting at Orangeburg in September. Brother Carriers, you who are still on the outside, candidly now, do you not think you are sleeping on your own rights? Don't you want better salary, pay for extra mileage, the abolition of the penny nuisance, thirty days vacation, etc.? All the above, and more, too, the association is working for and your help will aid materially toward securing the same while your staying out hinders us just that ranch, as he who is not for us mu9t be against us. The department recognizes the value of the association for it has authorized postmasters to allow carriers leave of absence to attend their meetings; Congress has taken the gag from our mouths and invites us to make our wants known directly to it, therefore there is absolutely no excuse for longer standing aloft, but more reason than ever why every carrier should join in for the common good. Send $1.50 to the secretary, W. H. Hare, Leesville, route 7, without further delay, and all you oarriers who are enrolled but have not yet paid, ? do the same so that Lexington county may go np without a laggard in it. Stand np to the front and be men and don't be afraid to contend for your rights. W. H. H. Dental Notice I will be at Chapin Wednesday of each week. Office hours 8 A. M. to 5 P.M. DR.
