t have been living out in the country
all of my life, trying: to superintend
a farm for almost 50 years, and
I thiiik this long experience should be
ivorth something to me.

people who say not, for they are

Now, if you will pardon me I am
going to be a little personal, but 1
don't think it is anything more thar
justice to the community in which J
live.
I am located about half way be

was at one time known as the "Pomaria
road." This is one of our oldesl
chartered roads leading frbm Colum

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.

Our mail carrier told our boy thi;

pretty soon he would be compelled t<

The chaingang hasn't done an;
work on this section for some six o

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

j God knows this is honest criticism*

I Very respectfully,

HOME COMING DAY
-j ' OBSERVED AT WEST END

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 .
