LaCoste Evans, of Cheraw is
the most enthusiastic good roads |
man in the world, we believe.
The bonds will increase the
tax 46 cents on the hundred dollars,
but the money will be spent
right here at home and we will
have it ready to pay the tax, and
will also have better roads.
A large tax payer should appreciate
his success enough to
vote for bonds to build a road
for humanity to pass over in
ease, especially when he will be
richly repaid in dollars and cents.
The small tax paver should vote
for bonds because he gets more
than he pays for.
Read the schedule of good
roads speaking in this issue and ;
get ready to attend at least one
of ihe meetings. If you are for
bond issue you should go and
enjoy the hour. If you are
against the bonds go and ask for
an opportunity to put your ideas
before the audience.
Under the bond issue plan we
will have good roads and the
man who owns the property,
including the big farmers, banks,
corporations, etc, will pay the
bill. Otherwise legislation in all
probability will be passed before
a great while increasing the
commutation tax from two dol
lars to possibly live. Who then
will pay?
Next Tuesday is the poor man
and small property owner's
chance to make the big property
~pdrTtTT
system of good roads throughout
the county. Ilovv will you
vote?

was on the Confederate battle.
ship, Merrimac,. in the engagement
between that vessel and
the Federal battleship, Monitor,
in Hampton Roads March 8 and
9, 1862 Mr. Brown says that he
was at a gun throughout the engagement
between the ironclads,
the first of their kind in the
world's history, and that he
sponged out the cannon after
every fire and took part in blowing
up the Merrimac when she
stuck fast in the Richmond
channel when an attempt was
made to make a run to Richmond,
the capital of the Confederacy.
Mr. Brown savs that
rather than let the enemy capture
their vessel they put a fuse
to the magazine, touched it off,
let down the small boats, put off
and from a good safe distance
saw the first ironclad vessel
blown up. Mr. Brown is a native
of Salisbury.

Mr. J. C. Evans in Hospital
Mr. Julius C. Evans, son of
Mr. K. A. Evans, is in a hospital
in Charlotte where he is under
treatment for a disease which
the doctors have not been able
to diagnose. It seems to be some
kind of kidney trouble and he
suffers intensely at times, lie
has been subject to this trouble
at times for about 2 years but it
has grown much worse.
Attack O i Dardanelles Begun
By Land And Sea.
London, April 2b.? The admiralty
anil the war office
declared this afternoon that a
general attack on the Dardanelles
had begun. An army, it was
said, has been disembarked successfully.
This official announcement
was given out:
"The general attack on the
Dardanelles by the fleet and the
army was resumed yesterday.
"The disembarkation of the
army, covered by the fleett began
before sm7nstTaF,,various
points on the Gallipoli peninsula
and in pile of serious opposition
from the enemy in strong entrenchments
protected by barbed
wire was completely successful.
"Before nightfall large forces
were established on shore.
"The landing of the army and
the advance continue."
The last concerted effort by
the allies against the Dardanelles
was over a month ago, March 19
and 20. This attack, entirely
from the sea, failed and the allies
lost the British battleships Irresistible
and Ocean and the
French battleship Bouvet.
The last five weeks have seen
naval activity of only minor im
poriance in me straits.
A new feature of the renewed
fighting: is the participation of
land forces. British troops have
been brought from Egypt and
French soldiers are believed to
have come from the southern
shores of the Mediterranean.
There have been dispatches
recently relating to movements
of British and French transports
in the direction of the Aegean
sea.
