('., Friday, April 20, 192rt. Former County l.ady Geta Praise In its last issue the Walterboro Press arid Standard pays the follow- j ing high tribute to the work <>f Mia. ! Elisabeth Boykin, formerly of thuj county. Mrs. Boykin served part o? | a term at home demonstration ayent in this county and served very acceptably and her many friends are pleased to know that she is making good in Colleton: "Mrs. Klizabeth Boykin, through her home demonstration clubs, is doing ? great work for the rural sections of the county, and, therefore, for the entire county. She is keeping abreast, of development in homemaking and educational improvement acconlir.g to the best that the entire department of agriculture and homemaking for the United States can gather and disseminate. She is the connecting link between the farm home and these National agencies which mean ho much in bringing the home-makers in touch with developments along all lines in the United States and the world. Her work enables the farm wife to keep abreast of the times in food conservation and preparation, in dress and, homemaking. She is also training the girls, or a great many of them along the same lines, and to conserve health. "This great work she is doing for the girls and women of the county was well demonstrated n\ the girl-' club rally held at thj high school here Saturday. More than one hundred of her club members met for the purposes of this rally. Seventytwo of these received certili. ates indicating that they had done a creditable year's work, having satisfactorily completed the work assigned and passed examinations on it. Six scholarships to the short course during the summer at Winthrop college; will be enjoyed by /dx of these club girls. * The Press and Standard regrets that similar training is being denied the boy- of the county through tin failure to provide a farm agent. It ;s really worthwhile work and should be carried on in every county in tht state. Surely the electors who havi a voire m saying whether or not tin pooole want these lines continued ir ("olleton county will spenk in favor oj both with no uncertain voice whe? the time comes to vote." Rev. I lav id B. Talley, aged 7'i veteran Baptist minister of Green ville. died at his home in that city or Sunday. He was a native of the uppi: part of Greenville county. Tin- mountains of upper Greenville C' untv were visited by quite a heavy snowfall Sunday night. It was accompanied by sleet and fell to a fair .. late flour. ' ^ .. ,w t , 11 lirE iKwan't Like HixhwNy l)?i>artmeni Editor Chronicle: I notice In your Bnpor of April 6th, where the County oard and the Cham>x*r of Commerce held a meeting and they requested the fctate highway to pave highway No. 26. Now wmt not 26 a part of the highway n>stem and has it not been kept up by the highway department for quite a while? Then why tin- deiay ? My understanding i? the citizens in that section wanted I Number 26 paved. Jf so, what has the highwu) department to do with it anyhow? A/e we building road* for them or for the people of the county? In not the highway department it creature of tne State? 1 want to say right here that we do not need the highway department, and if there is not some changes made we will not have them a gieat while longer. Go to the State Building in the city of < olumbia and see that large force of hands all getting large salaries. This bunch of mistletoe is sapping the financial blood of the state. We are not advising the Board of Directors. If we were we would say?pave the roads where the people want them or not pave them at all. We will toll later why we do not want the Highway Department. NHWTON KELLY Cugoff, S. April 12. Truth A good newspaper never makes an untrue statement on its own account and never tells the truth simply for the wound it inflicts. This, to the layman, is well-nigh unbelievable, but true, never-the-leaa. Every day papers of the type we have in mind refuse to publish gossip and rubbish und withold real news items because to publish them would be to wound innocent |>eople and would serve no useful purpose.?Marion Star.
