I am located about half way be tween Newberry and Pomaria on whal was at one time known as the "Pomaria road." This is one of our oldesl chartered roads leading frbm Colum * * t n xt x bia roaa near ivir. jno. i>ccj ? ci Pomaria, which makes a direct route for the people who live in lower 1C and 11 townships to and from Newberry. For the past six years this road has been kept in good traveling conditior from Hunter-DeWalt school house tc Pomaria by the chaingang, but there is a section oh this side of Hunter DeWalt school house (a distance oi two and k half miles) taking in tw( | creeks and swamps which needs con siderable' work in some places at once and only four hands liable to jroac duty on it. The first swamp belov my hoiise is almost in an impassably condition. The four hands in mention live en the upper end of the seetion and hav< a pretty hard struggle to keep th< rood worked up above my home. rri*1- - V.*wl t'Trro mn in men pn IllCUIdl uau snainjy in n<v? tion dovers one of our oldest rura mail routes in Newberry oounty Our mail carrier told our boy thi; morning if this place wasn't fixe( pretty soon he would be compelled t< cut out this part of the route. The chaingang hasn't done an; work on this section for some six o eight years but we hear they hav the matter under consideration now Mr. Edhor, you remember time an< a^ain very well asking me how th< swamps were below my home whei you had occasion to ?o to Hunter De wait school. Your old home on t Pomaria and many others of my ol friends would ask the same questior and I have been almost ashamed t tell them. Now you needn't ask why the roa is in such condition. It matters no how well a road is worked up if i is left to take care of itself for thi length of time you know the result. Just ask some one who lives nearb i if I have misrepresented facts any i regard to these swamps. If any one has occasion to go (low to either of these old distinguished n places why send them by IYoseprity. Any road is something like a chain e no stronger than the weakest link and ? can't this link of the road be put in Y I o e|a condition so it can be used? j God knows this is honest criticism* s[and any one is to be pitied who can't [stand honest criticism.

HOME COMING DAY -j ' OBSERVED AT WEST END t - May I use a portion of your valu . able space to give a few items that j may be of interest to your readers. 0 On the fourth Sunday our church observed "Home Coming Day." We s were fortunate in securing the serv1 ices of our beloved Dr. D. M. Ram. sey of Greenville who preached for f us at both the morning and evening y i hour. His messages were much enS'joved by all. Deep in thought yet y j simple in expression, carrying with 2 j them evidence of spiritual power hid-i : den away in his soul for- God. He Jmade for himself a warm place in 1 " * - _ -. i _ A 1 J the hearts ot our peopie. ahu we a. shall look forward with a great deal j of pleasure to another visit from Dr. J Ramsey. Our revival (of which the j1 Home Coming Day was the beginning) was a great success. ?j Kev. H. W. Stone of Kelton, Union ; county, did the preaching. Brother ^ | Stone impresses all with his earnestj! ness, which is another way of saying ?ithat he has a passion for souls and j I gives it expression in .his appeal to ; men. He is a strong and forceful ^speaker and any church will find that ) Brother Stone will do them good, i There were twenty-three additions by baptism and two by letter, a total > of twenty-five. Besides these addii tions the church as a whole was great . Jy revived and strengthened. Brother t. Stone, f might add, is one of the fc*E * " ?
