The legislature, may adjourn
Saturday, but it is hardly
probable.
We took our first look at Bob
Gonzales a few days ago in his
den in the State building, and
found to our surprise that he is
after all just a human being.
We were away during the
making of last week's Journal,
and found upon our return that
we should have remained indefinitely,
as that issue was about
the best of all. If we can persuade
the same bunch to take
charge again we may go away
for a short vacation of some' six
or eight years
?
It was our privilege recently
10 come in personal coniact witn
the so-called "square meals" of
Columbia for the first time, and
we found them just as represented,
very square, with four sharp
corners. We have demonstrated,
however, that one with a
fair digestion may recover from
the effects of even three or four
of these meals taken successively,
provided the proper remedies
are applied in time.
There used to be a stretch of
bad road about 5 miles south of
town on the Jefferson road.
Sections of it would become innpassable
along about this time,
of year, but about a year ago
wi?s put on this red chty,
soon be needed^S^heplaces
that used to cot SO horl hut it
has been clearly demonstrated
that sand is the remedy.
Now, what we want to know
is why the road from Pageland
to the State line can't have some
sand?

In another column is the first
part of a bill which Messrs.
Odom and Rivers have put
through the house, providing for
the election by the people of the;
township road commissioners in
Chesterfield county.
A careful reading of the bill
convinces us that it is a good
law. Just the thing that is needed,
we believe. If nothing else
had been done by these gentlemen
during this session, their
salaries would not have been
wasted hv *1 1nn?

* opinion is that more road work
will be done in the future with
the same amount of money.
Card of Thanks.
Dear friends of the Cross
Roads community, we take this
method of thanking you, one

this time of great need, but shall
always remember you and pray
our Heavenly Falher that he
may bless and reward you all
for your spirit of helpfulness.
May God bless vou all.
Yours very gratefully.
