Be sure to attend. ( This is-a very strenuous campaign, i and yet there are a number of very i1 live schools that we have been un- ; able to get in the list. We hope to : have Miss Thomas for another day or 1 two the following week so that we ' may take in Chappells and Trinity ' and Dominick and Burton and Dead- 1 28 fall and Utopa and all the others.

I spent the day in Columbia on \ I Tuesday and had a very pleasant and j I hope profitable interview with State j Superintendent Swcaringen. Mr. W.1 A. Counts from Little Mountain went! along and went with me to see the state superintendent of education that we might talk over the situation at Little Mountan. The road from Little Mountain ' J - ? - ... U own to onapm is uuw me ucot pan ;>f the road from Newberry to Columbia, but from Chapin to Wateree Creek it is worse than I have even j seen it. The new road down to Bal-| lentine has not yet been completed' and the road from Newberry to Pros- j perity is still under the hands of the contractor, but the work is getting J along mighty fine and we will have j a good road soon. The part of the road that has been accepted by the state from Prosperity to Little Mountain needs some attention in several fliof Q++on+inri s'nrnild he! piaL- CO anu l/IICi U C4\.vwaav~v w.. ?iven at once. I was under the impression that the contract had been let to some one to keep this road in repair, and if so the man should be on his job. No use to build a road unless you maintain it because it will soon go to the bad if left alone. They are now working on the Broad river road cut from Columbia and it eery tainly has needed something for a long time. I was told that Richland was going to build a cement road forten miles out this way, and then some one said that the cement road was to come on to the Lexington line, and some one said it was to come only toj the Broad river bridge. Well, that k thp sr>rt of road they are building and the work is now almost to the Seaboard crossing on this road. Speaking about roads, Chairman Bouiware of the Highway commission told me the other day that the surveyors were to start on the locating of the road out \o Chappelis this j week. Work and a road are certainly needed out this sido. I have had . occasion to make sew-al trips <ip by j J / ioods-N< -A' tpelar 0 Shoes, Oxfords an< i's and Women's Sho irs Misses and Child; 8.
