We believe the time is at hand
when the voters of school district
No. 28 (Fort Mill) should
adopt the compulsory school attendance
law. We see each day
numbers of children on the
streets who ought to be in
school, and inquiry of these little
fellows as to why they are not
in school, seems to lay the blame
on the parents. About the only
i -
remeay in cases of this kind is
to compel the parents to send
the children to school.
There has been a great deal
of complaint made during the
last few days about the condition
of the roads in the upper

not without cause. In places
the ditches have filled up and
the rain water flows down the
center of the roads, while in
other places great ruts have
beenjeut by the vehicles. The
roads appear to not have been
worked any in the last several
months, and the prediction is
made that unless some hasty
work is done, it will he an imI
