Nothing has had more to do with bringing about the present pros perity of the country than the build ing of good roads. That Lexington county is forging to the front in this particular is most gratifying. Great progress has been made on the roads of this county duiring the past twelve months. When the chain gang com pletes the Augasta road between Lexington and Leesville the people will have a road running across the county to the capital of the State. -This road will compare most favor ably with any road in the State and will be a credit to the county. But there are other good roads in the county that axe a pride to the peo ple. Within a few.weeks the chain gang will begin work on the roads of lower Fork, continuing to the New-. berry ,ounty line. This will give the people of that section a road to be proud of, running aeross from the Richland to the Newberry line. This is as it should be. The supervisor 4 intends giving every section the ben efit of the chain gang, but it is a physical impossibility to work all the roads at the same time. -Lexington Dispatch. We are glad to know that the su pervisor of Lexington county is go ing to build a road from Richland to -the Newberry line. We hope that 1 il put in good condition the road which has been adopted as the capital highway from Columbia to Greenville. As already stated, this road has b,..a built from Laurens to Greenville and the Laurens super- I visor is going to build from Laurens to tie Newberry line and now it is stated that the Lexington end is to be built. We hope that the county supervis or of Newberry will realize the im portance of the connecting link from the Lexington line to the Lan ransdlid.. We understand.that a oumittee -from the- ehamuber of com me.rce will be appodted to cooperate * with the suxpervisor in putting this road in first class condition. From) New,berry to Einards, with one or two exceptions, the road could be made good with very little expendi ture of labor and money. The worst place on, the road is at Gum Spring1 branach and it is probable that the road will have to be relocated sad a bridge built at this place. From Newberry to Prosperity the road should be relocated so as not to cross the railroad so of ten. Super-2 visor Feagle stated sometime ago that he was going to take the chain gang and build this road between Pros perity and Newberry and we hope: that he will carry this intention out. It woud 'be a great thing for this section to have a first class highway from the espital of the State to. Greenville, and when the road from .harIeston to Columbia is completed; end the road from Augusta to Char lotte via Columnbia is completed, we will have two highways ruiniug diag-. onally across the State intereseotinig at the capital.. ,This will give owners of automo biles an opportunity to travel with some pleasure and we had just as well recognize the fact that the au totmobile is here to stay and we should remember that a road that is good for the automobile is equally good for a buggy, or a wagon, or a eart. . In this effort to have the road] from the Lauarens line to the Lexing ton line put, in good condition, there should :be cooperation and united ef fort on the part of the automo'bile owners of this county. We believe that the people -who live along this road will also cooperate and assist in making it one of the best roads in the State. We would call attention to an act passed by the recent legislature, a copy of which is printed in this pa per, requiring sch ool teachers and offi c~ersi ch ao pubic building to. Lave the State flag displayed from i said buildings. It makes it a misde- I] meanor not to comply with the re- I quirements of this law and it would be well for those interested in car rying the law out to examine its pro visions. The grand jury recommend the use of the road drag. A good recom mandation. Let the farmers and land owners of each community get to gether and use the drag. We do not think much of the proposition for the county to purchase blood hounds. ,The mile of government road got in pretty bad con dition daring the rairy weather. The application of the drag would have made it good. 4 It should have an application yet. The membership committee of the hamber of commerce started out yesterday to seeure fifty new members. This should be an easy matter and if the committee has not yet called >n you, you might see the secretary )r the president and hand your iame and initiation fee in so as 0 save time. This will enable you to get a good osition in the team which is pull ng together for the advancement of Iis community. Fifty inew mem >ers for the chamber of commerce s very small. When the fifty new mes are secured, we will then have iot more than one-third the mem rship we should have. Going to Florida for a Bride. Prof. J. E.

The bird cocked its head inquir ingly. The magnate laughed at its manner. Possibly the bird had not quite understood the question. "Does Polly want a cracker?" he repeated. The bird still looked at him with slan.ted vision, but made no reply. "Oho!" he laughed. "You're not hungry. Have you had your dinner?" "I don't remember," croaked the bird, and the magnate ordered the butler to remove it from the prem ises forthwith.-Lippincott's.
