If your town isn't good enough
for an occasional boost, move.
Health, happiness, education,
religion, morality?nil will feel
the quickening influence of
Good Roads.
We hale to tell you, but if you
are opposed to better roads you
are living in the wrong age.
You should have livedo when
people went a foot or on a
camel.
t -COThe
roads \viil be in good
condition by the time the bond
election is held in "May and so
many of us will forget about
what the conditions were in
January.
Do you think a "gallon a
month" will b?? ??nr?ii?rh
fice? Be careful w all the dales
and amounts, for jitter Ididay
you will he limIt.odNto one puny
gallon for each 30 da\s, and the
days .are growing longer jind
longer.
Permanent roads can never he
huilt hy taxes lev ied and collected
before the \\ork is done. It
would take about -J5 years to
raise enough money to do a
good job of road building in any
township. By that time the
present generation would he
either dead or disheartened. By
issuing bonds the road> may he
made this year, and we pay for
them as we reap the benefits in
the years to come
~ 1 Count tlie cost of hauling and
driving'you do in tw^WWfionths
at the price you would charge
anyone else. Then estimate the
cost of the same woik 011 good
level, hard roads. Subtract one
from the other. What will your
extra tax be at a fcwjnills on
llie dollar valuation? Will good
roads pay YOU?
Then estimate the increase in
the value of jour propcity a
good hard road would bring.
Can you afford to vote against
the bonds?
The suggestions of an "Interested
Citizen" in regard to com
pulsory School 'attendance in
Pageland school district a're
timely, and we call attention to
them in the hope that action
may he taken it once. Compulsory
attendance will not work a
hardship on any one, lor ample
provisions have been made for
excuses in case of necessity.
Phis law is needed in the rural
schools as well and we hope to
see a movement started throughout
the county to put this law
into effect in the various districts.
The war is about so, so. The
The Russians claim to -be regaining
lost ground; the French and
English are shooting and being
shot at in the western theater,
and Greece is about ready to
enter the fight. The Russian
fleet and hundreds of merchant
vessels are bottled up in the
Black sea by the Turkish forts
along the Dardanelles and Bospborus
straights, which form the
only outlet. I he fleets of the
Allies have been flattering away
at the forts on the Dardanelles,
the outer of the two straits,
for several days. Millions of
bushels of wheat are ready to be
shipped out to the world as soon
as these strong forts can be shot
to pieces and ddc ?
waterway opened to the pierrhant
vessel* of the world.

The Mexican situation looms
up again. Conditions in Mexico
have gone from had to worse. <
The officials 'of Ihe United
States government have shown !
\ the patience of -Job in dealing ]
! with this turbulent country, and |
every effort has been made to 1
avoid armed hostilities. The ]
rights of foreigners have been (
disregarded an I our government i
/has sent a note to the Carr.u./a*
forces that a change must i e |
made. The note is expressed
in no uncertain terms and it is
considered the strongest document
of its bind that has been
passed between the two govern- 1
ments since the messages to

800 Bales Bum on Monroe
Platform
Special to Charlotte Observer ]
Monroe, March 6.?The cot- ,
ton platform and a few over 800 ,
bales of cotton were destroyed ,
by fire last night about 8 o'clock. ,
The origin of the fire is not (
known, but it is thought that it
caught by a spark from one, of
the engines on the yard as the
main track is about 150 or 200
feet away. The warehouses that
belonged to the old guano plant 1
were almost full of cotton, but
luckilv the fire was confined to '
the platform, which was com- ,
pletelv destroyed.
Six box cars that were standing
011 the track at the nlntfnrm
were burned and there .-were
several others slightly injured, j
The exact amount of the loss is
not known, but it was all pro- <
tecled by insurance.
