A rural free delivery route has been established commencing at Galivants Ferry and ending near Habana. rne post-otuce at LHdeon will be abolished, and this leaves about fifty families in that community without any conveniences for getting and sending off mail. There should be a remedy and some of the people in that section are determined to find it Death of Mrs McCaskill. Mrs Claudia McCaskill, wife of Mr I W. S.

Little sold out i lis stock in the Little Lumber Co., f ,o Mr Frank A. Burroughs. Mr c Burroughs in turn sold his interest 1 n the Woodstock Co., to Mr Little, t rhe Woodstock Company is the A lame of what was formerly known c is the Enterprise Box A Basket c Werks started here byC. F. Hoag i fe Sous. They finally sold out their i plant to Mr Burroughs who had it <. incorporated under the name of the ] Woodstock Co. Many additions have been made to the plant since it was i incorporated and it is a much larger i business than it was when first I 3tarted. Little Lumber Company 1 was formed last year by W. II. i IIowoll and H. P. Little, and it has ; been engaged in the business of cutting lumber. There are more changes to follow in these two growing concerns, but it is impossible to i state just now exactly what they will be. i Death of G. W. Spivcy. News was received here last week of the death of Mr. G. W. Spivcy, known hereabouts by his friends as , "Hop." His death occurred at a sanitarium in Atlanta whither ho , had been taken for treatmcut for nervous affeetiou. He was a brother of our fellow townsmen. Messrs. D A Sp:vey and Jolin C Spivey, who were prostrated with grief at the sad news Horry was Mr, Spivey 's birtti place and ho was connected for many y ars with tho Burroughs & Collins business at the Gully and went from hero to Moultrie, Ga., where ho hassince resided. Many friends regretted to hear of his death Wo tiko tho following account of his death from the Moultrie Observer. Nesvs was received hero yesterday afternoon by telephone that Mr. (J. W. Spivey, of this ciiy. who has been in-Atlanta at a sanitarium for two weeks, died at 4 o'clock. With him at the time of his death wcro his wife, his sister, Miss Efiie Spivev. and his brother in-law, Col G. R Stalvey. It was know hero that his condition was quite serious ond the news of his death was not ol a startling character, but to the large family connection and almost unlimited number of friends and acquaintances it was indeed a sad message. The news spread rapidly over tho city and was everywhere received with expressions o? regret and sympathy f jr the bereaved ones. The cause of Mr. Spiveydeath was a nervous trouble. The optic nerves were affected in some way and he has suffered great pain for a number of weeks. The trouble cost him tho loss of his eyesight some time ago and his sulienng was such that death was really a relief to him. All the family live in Moultrie except two brothers?J C, Spivey and D A Spivey whose homes are in Conway, South Carolina. The latter is a member of the South Carolina Leg islature now in session ar;d was reached by wire at Columbia. Mr. J F Spivey. the oldest brother, who resides here, was in Florida; but has been wired for and will come to the funeral. The death of Mr. Spivey is a sad bereavement to his wife and little daughter. He was a man who loved his home and provided for it well. He was an affectionate and dutiful husband and father. lie was a member of a large fam! ily of very fine people and was greatly beloved. The loss to the farrily is irreparable. As a citizen of Moultrie he was among those who served longest and most faithfully. He came here from . South Carolina and entered business when Moultrie was an inland village j ?before the first railroad was com. pleted here. He has from that day . been a loyal citizen of the town, con 4..:u.,~i.:,, K:? i u luutuu ui uto 11tr> luiiucucu [ and his wealth to its prosperity and ' and upbuilding. Hi? death -s a dist'nct loss to the town and com? munity. \ He was a consistent and active member of the Moultrie Baptist r church, and his life was almost with ^ out fault The cause (f Christ haf experienced a loss here, though i i corresponding gain on the othei \ side. Mr. Spivoy was a member of tin local lodge Knights of Pythias, ant no one explifiedthe virtues of friend ship, charity and benevolenco mon i, fully than he. Ho will bo groath e mourned by his band of fraterna brothers 7 He was to everybody a friend y and to every good cause a well wisb ?- or. His life, though comparative! short, was well spent and the worl has by him been made better an brighter, The Observer feels keenly the los ?- of this good citizen, friend an Christian. It extends its sympoth to those who mourn the loss t father, husband, son and brother. 11 p* >AY, JANUARY 17, 1907. The Calhoun Statue. We, the undersigned, reprcsontng the Kind's Mountain Chapter ) A R, of Yorkville, S C., wish to :all again your attention, and that I >f your roadors, to a work in which ve beg your cordial help and cooperation. Last winter, 1906. this Chapter naugurated a movement which had or its object the honoring the mo.n>ry of John C Calhoun by placing lis statue among his compeers in .ho Statuary IIal! of the capitol at Washington. No South Carolinian iver views those stately statues srected by practically all the States n the Union in memory of her forenost sons, without wondering why >ur place has been so long utioccu- 1 jied* 1 Last year we wrote to ever.t wo- 5 nan's organization and to all the lewspapers of the State asking them to use their influence to have the Legislature appropriate the sum of MO,000.00 for the purpose of plaeing a statue of John C Calhoun in the Statuary Ilall of the capitol at Washington. There is 110dissenting voice in regarding Calhoun as South Carolina's most tilting representative. He was for forty years the most conspicuous and influential fig A; 1 11 A. 1 I. ? l ) . tire in nuuouut pontics, 110 was tveprosentative, Senator, Secretary >f War, Secretary of State and Vice President. Last year the bill was unanimously passed the Senate but was not acted upon by the House. This winter the petitions will be re newed, the bill will again be introduced and we believe tho Legislature of South Carolina will be proud to place itself on record as the one to thus fitly honor our greatest statesman. Through the columns of vour paper we wish to appeal to all South Carlinians, men and women, to give their influence and support to the fTorts we are making to have our dear old State honor herself in according this recognition to her illustrious son, In the nation's hall of fame shal' South Carolina alone be unrepresented? "Count not cost honor i<> tin* dead! The tribute tlmt 11 mighty nuliou pays To those who hived her woll in former days Means more than gratitude for glories tied: For every noblo man that she lia li bred, 1 inmortali/ed hy art's iinmortal praise Lives in the bronze and marble that we raise To lead our sons as lie our futhei e led. Those monuments ol manhood brave and high. Do more than forts or battleships to keep Our dear bought liberty. They fortify Tho heart of youtli witli valor wise and deep; They build eternal bulwarks and command. Kternal strength to guard our native land." We should be glad to have iheciti- j >1 ?ns of the State express themselves \ upon this subject. Thanking you for the courtesy and encourag-Miicnt shown us, very respectfully, Miss Maggio A Gist, Mrs Walter II Moore, Regent, Mrs Sam'1 McNeel, Miss Lesslie D Witherspoon.

S. C. 1 J J I he People of a Prosperous Commiinlty arc Turning out In Force and Assisting the Supervisor in 1 Making- Good Roads. Their Example Should he Followed all Over the County. When Suporvisor W. K. Holt was making the campaign for his oftice lie promised a free ferry, if possible, ivt what is known as Hardee's Korry rm the Waccamaw. The people of that section extending from the Kerry to Hand postoftiee undertook to give him assistance in building a good road of clay and sand between the two points mentioned. From reports told yesterday it seems that all hands are keeping their promises and making good. The flat for the free ferry is in readiness, and ere long the ferry will bo open to the public. On last Tuesday the county chain gang together with the people or the community made up lutcen carts which were engaged in hauling clay for the road. The work has been going on for some time in this way, and rapid progress is being made toward one of the best roads in the county. The sand hills beyond the river so muc'i dreaded by tired horses and oxen will be easy to climb when the supervisor and the enterprising men of that section are through with them. This example should be followed in other sections, until good roads will traverse the county in all directions. State of Ohio, City of Toledo, ^ Lucas County \ Wank J.
