This may npt interest" you, so I am telling you at the beginning 01 tne story-that you may pass it up if. you like. No offense taken if you do. I have made it a rule for many years to make-a visit to the old home once. a month as near as I can. Sometimes' it is longer and sometimes not so i long. I had not been able to get away from this census business since December, so I decided that I would - ? IK T go on ounuay, rcuxuai^ a*/. * tmu not notified the folks that I was com- j ing. When I got to Dyson there was j no one to meet me, and the store in j which is the telephone of course was j closed, but fortunately my friend, Mr. Geo. W. Reid, had walked down i from his home a mile distant to get i a morning paper, so I accepted his ( invitation to join him in a walk to \ his house. It was a very cold dajrt In fact I did not realize it was such a cold day until I had left home. But" the breeze was exhilerating and I enjoyed it. Mr. and Mrs. Claude Sligh were on the train going over to spend the day with his father. When we reached the home of Mr. Reid he phoned j over to the folks at home that I was there, and mv brother-in-law, Mr. A. D. Timmerman, was soon on "dhe spot with his flivver, though he said that he stuck in the red mud and had to be pushed out. While I was waiting Mrs. Reid insisted on my partaking of * her early dinner which was in fact ? my breakfast, but I have the happy j faculty of being able to eat at al- I most any hour of the day or night, < as my friend Burr Barney Leitzsey 1 would say, and when she said she had 1 fried chicken I did not need much 1 persuasion, and the chicken was fine '< a la country style, and then she had also some chicken and dumpling '< which is my long suit. So I enjoyed 1 the late breakfast, and when I got J home I found that when they heard 3 that I was around, the good mother 1 and sister had put on a big pot of 1 saur kraut and backbone knowing my weakness for this dish. . , The weather did not moderate very , much and on the return trip we < stuck again in the same rnudhole, but ' Mr. Timmerman and the faithful*j bring along with him one of the nergoes on the place and the two, ?' Mr. Zimmerman and the faithful negro, pushed at the wheel and I ' guided the car and we were soon out. > I told him I could not get out in the , mud as I had on my Sunday shoes. My father, some ten days ago, for-J '< getting that he was not as strong as : he onca was, sprained his back and 1 had been laid up for several days, but J was able to sit up. Ho was assisting 1 in the erection of a exit o'f saw and a gasoline engine to do the pumping ; of water and of course had to do some lifting, or thought he had to do it. It was a real pleasure to find the '< two, mother and father, so well and hearty and in such fine spirit. The truth is their optimism, and especially that of the mother, in my opinion 1 in lnro-p mpnunvp "foi* th<?ir 1 OWUUXlbtJ AAA ^ V v ? ,, - _ _ good health and their lon.v life. This thing of people all the time grouch-1 ing and complaining and finding, fault with everything and the world besides has much to Jo with the health and the life of the individual and other folks round about. Just as well to remember the old Chinese < proverb and not worry if the world does not roll to your likinp. It was rolling when you came and will con tinue to turn round after you have been gathered to the happy hunting < grounds of the great beyond. "Life is laughter and ?ove and friends, And peace at mVht when th-? to'linpr ends. It's be">r"r<? tV>e hurdo*^ com i A.vt\ puffer the :n :J! : I ' : r.e?-V30-.'s ^.rv.teful ' k And making the humblest of t worth while : It's in loving children who bear j name? And these you can know wit! wealth or fame." The older I grow and the mo see of the world and of men women, and the more I study t the more I wonder why so n people seem to have their hand: their brother's neck, as it were, ing to take advantage of him rc times, and the scramble for the mighty dollar, because when the is told and the end has come \ does it profit a man truly if he g the whole world. Wherein h < been benefited, except in what he been able to do in the service of fellows and to help humanity. I 1 seen even members of the s household and the same blood obsessed with the love of money they would not hesitate to take vantage of one another if by so d they thought or imagined that " could put even a rusty dollar in t WVton T sap tHia disrjositi j/vvnvvt v? ?4v*? ^ ? can not help thinking of what i Jones said on one occasion of s Some day they will haul you off to cemetery and even though 3 pockets may be lined with silver gold your hands will be then too to reach the pocket. The preti sight in this world to me is a lo and loyal family. And family loy means country loyalty, because family is the foundation of soc and of our government. Money wealth are fine things if you k how to use them in the service your fellow and of humanity, just to have money to know that have it, I never could see any p] ure or profit in it. "Millions have lived on this ki: earth And shared in its beauty and ge mirth; They have loved its skies and friendly trees, And its mountains high and its ro seas Though never by fame were t mantles kissed, And gold and silver were joys 1 missed, They gathered the sweet which had to give And they loved the world and v glad to live." , And I might add made others .] because they lived "and knew hov live. It is a great thing to be ; to go along the road down li journey and be able to know an< feel that you made others glad you passed that way. But I did not start out to w a homily, and yet sometimes I c help it, and there you are. brother, Luther Bachman Aull his wife, came down during the and spent a couple of hours am keep the folks at home from tal a trip down to Dyson late in evening and having to wait at station in the cold with poor acc modation, I went with them to t home between Ninety Six and Gn wood, and had another meal i them of backbone and country ' i lards grown m tneir own garaen, sausage and lots of other things, you know I wonder why so man: our farmers buy white cabbage make saur kraut and to eat when home grown vegetable is so n: nicer and sweeter, and then comp about the high cost of living. I most feel like saying, instead of high cost of living in many case should read the high cost of lazir but that would be rather harsh to and I do not say it, for I do lovi say nice and pleasant things. ' young brother has a fine coui place in a good neighborhood half way between Ninety Six Greenwood and he is a good fan And farming is the thing to do no you are willing to work, but if want increased pay and short h< better not go to the farm. With advent of the motor car a few n n the country does not count, becj the proper measurement of dists is by time and not by miles. A the meal Bachman drove me ove Greenwood and I came on home, the weather did not moderate. If I am spared to get through 1 this census job, and my mothe living, I told her that I was goin; take off a wrhole week and forget i i 1 j i.T_ * tieraia ana incws ana every uiuig < and I was going to hook up my III, and I am going over to the home and we are just going to about among the old scenes and some of the folks that I used to kr and some of the places, and if folks arc not there I n.v rro'rg to who is there.

If any one has an ! i idea that the taking of the census at! j this season of the year is a sinecure j re j he is entitled to another idea, espec- j and ially with the flu prevailing through- j hem ?ut the district and enumerators get- { lany ting sick and having sickness in their i s at families and asking to be relieved and ' try-! new enumerators to be selected, but l&nv we <ire UUUUl llliuugu v? im <| . ai_ counting of the people and Mr. John j tale Murran and Mr. Herbert Boulware , vhat are doing the checking up all right,! ains and we will be through before so j he long.

E. H. A. on i i" - ?0? I gam I intended to make a remark or uch. i *wo *n regard to the roads, and will do so vet. The road from Dyson out I me ? four home has always been bad at this and season of the year, or that is it lias stiff ^en for a long time just such a road tiest as it *s a* this time. But if the main ring' roa<3 had had an application of the alty sPlft 1?? drag or some sort of drag the ^ would be in very good condition. Strange that people who use the road -4VUJ ? and not realize the value of the drag now when properly used, and the ines^pen? 0f siveness of the thing. Of course to but be of value it. must be used systemyou atically and regularly but you can leas-! n?t accomplish anything worth while by spasmodic rushes and by fits and starts. The regular and steady man ndly wi^h a singleness of purpose is the |man who does.things as he goes :ntle fll?ng down the road. It was in the j cross roads in the field where we got its stuck and in sight of the home. ving! The road to Ninety Six and on to , Greenwood at the present time is in heir need of repairs, but it will be remem jbered that some time ago in writing thev about the roads of this section that I : remarked that some time in January life the roads commission of Greeni wood county would begin on the road vere ^rom Greenwood to Ninety Six and on down toward Chappells and the ! ~1> ir. ix/mtt iin^av li'qt' Anrl tVlPV j WUI1V IS UllUbl ??MJ. A v% J ^lad are widening and grading and buildv to *ng a road that may be called a real able road. And they are going to build it ife's ri&ht on down to the river bridge at "" i to the line between Newberry and P, ft that, Greenwood. And I am told that the ! people of Chappells are keeping the: | distance from that town to the river j j in fairly passable condition and the ] an>? j result is that a part of the trade from p ' the Chappells section that rightly be* ' -- H. ancj longs to ivewDeny is gumg tu uiccn- ivj <jay! wood and more of it is going if Newj j.Q ; berry continues to neglect the road p ting ^rom ^ere river as s^e ^as ^een P tjje | doing these many years. We need , this to wa^e up on the road proposition.1 om- ^ | heir ^ We have read carefully the act of t gen- XJ with ^e^^s^ature proving f?r the es- ? . tablishment of a bond commission col- ' , for the town of Newberry. It seems jr n, to us that under this law the people p. q T1H 1 ' can vote bonds for public improve^ ? ments, feeling that the taxes they ' 01 pay hereafter to meet these bonds 1 and the interest on them will be lU(I safely cared for. Regardless of 1 ' -? -lv ^,,4. m ArifiTT .~ wnat may come auuui, i:n= munvj j , " collected for the bonded indebtedness i . of the town should be apnlied to tnat I , !S it t j . ., ol . purpose and to no other purpose. ^ Less' Under the bond commission law the ^ saJ' bond commission will handle no ^ .? other funds than the money iece:ved TW 01 from sale of bonds and the money ^ collected to pay bonds. There will ^ be no chance then for the moneys ^ an collected for sinking fund purposes ner; to be diverted to anv other use. We W if J 4.V 1 .
