Get out thai new road machine and give the streets of our town a working. And we hear a lot of complaint from citizeps of Pleasant ' Valley and beyond of the condition of the road between Fort Mill and Bailes' bridge over Sugar creek. We are told that in places the people are actually leaving the road and driving through cotton patches to avoid the bad bridges and holes. Extravagance and Conceit. The man who said conceit was at the bottom of every extravagance knew a good deal about human rjature. Few men would pay $4 for a tie that did not Ipok as if it cost $4 and the shop irirls who are buying $300 fur coats on installments out of a salary of $15 a week would care little for such a coat if the only place they could wear it were an asylum for the blind. A modern philosopher says, "1 conclude that dissatisfaction is a common human ailment and / that I might as well be unhappy with what I have as unhappy with what I can't afford." Thousands of Americans are dissipating their savings in extravagant purchases purely through conceit. And it is a blind conceit which deceives no one but the extravagant themselves. When a man goes into a store to buy a $6 hat which he can afford and comes out with a $16 hat which has forced him to break into his savings, he does not impress the clerk who sells it or his friends who see him wear it. But he has injured them all and himself also. He has aided to divert production from necessities to non-necessities, he has helped keep up prices, and has withdrawn potential capital from possible use in increasing industry. For himself, he has weakened hiS defenses against old age, sickness and loss of employment and depleted his offensives in the utile for success. Fort Mill Dirt Changes Hands. E. W. Kimbrell to J. J.
