The second meeting of the county campaign was scheduled to be held at Mt. Pleasant in Xo. 3 township on \ Friday. The candidates gathered in full force and there was a good 1 ** -i1- ? rvv?AO/\r\f O CTOWCL OI lilt! citizens pi cacui, emu. a good many ladies. And the usual, barbecue was given, but we were then j just getting a touch of the gulf storm and the wind blew and the rain fell in sheets. Chairman Hunter was present and opened the meeting on schedule time, the speaking being held in the school l- house. The school house eould not hold more than a third of those pres'ent but Candidates Dominick and * Evans for the legislature got off 1 their speeches in the forenoon, but I "when the time came for the barbecue dinner, and it was then not yet 12 o'clock, the makers of the cue wanted to get the hungry crowd to the tables before the rain came too strong so that it might be over with ?that is the dinner part of it?and Jt was well they did, because soon the rain grew more and more strong ; and so much so that the remainder of the orators did not get to give the No 3 voters their views on the burnI Ing questions of the hour. And it wag well, because those who did not f start homeward pretty soon after the dinner met with a real rain and wind storm, which prevailed the remainder of the afternoon. ! This is a fine community and should j have more attention from the authorities of the county. There is a: great undeveloped section of the I county down tliis way, and some of j the finest people in the State. They i I need better roads and some bridges across tbe Enoree and some new i school houses and more enlarged 1 schools. They wil come. i The legislature provided $2,000, we understand, to build a bridge across tbe Enoree at Henderson's Ferr>\ , < , l)ut it will take about $4,000 to do the ] job, and, therefore, no bridge can be I > / < fcuilt until the extra money is available. This bridge would help to open 1 a fine sect* a of the county, and f: / J ] place the citizens on the Mt. Pleas' r\ T"T7^t?

And then j they should have a rural graded j school in their midst. This they shall have. Th^y have the children and the school spirit and should have the co- 1 operation and encouragement of the * ^ school authorities in mis worn, t Those "who traveled from (Newberry 1 down to the meeting on Friday had ? a concrete example of what can be * done by a little cooperation and the ' expenditure of a little money in the c matter of road improvement, if they took note of the road from Newberry to the Gibson place, a distance of , c nine miles, and then took note of the t remaining six miles from there to ^ IMt. Pleasant. The first nine miles is a fine road and in good condition, ^ even in the face of the recent con- ( tinued rains and the rains of Friday, j The road from there to Mt. Pleasant j was almost impassable and several j cars were stuck in the mud. But < for the work done last year on the , Appalachian highway the first nine miles would have Tteen in the same condition. If the people on the Ml. Idfleasant ena wouia cooperate wiui the supervisor as did the people ou the Appalachian end he "would give them the same class of road. It would be easy. A good rural graded school down there would help greatly in the getting of the road. It did the work at Jolly Street, and it! would do it here as well. It is won- ( | derful what can be done by a little j cooperation and a little self help, j And there is nothing that we can: T \ V*T r. fjs^ -^^8 ^^??iililMy N fl Robert E.
