I; any citizen of the county who rtally lins the welfuro of Un; county at j vhm ami In- will t il you ihn: lint greatest draw back tin' county has in > < , rv rospVcl ii Ihe mis-; trahie roads. The winter rains have lasted lunger! than is usual. ati'J irlny rund? will nul stand wet ; weather. \i.imcqimnco, tho roads In many] parts of Hi country ar? nlmo t impassable, and people art kepi h: home because ih< r.mnot got j anywhere.

Now this condition of a IT? 1rs hut a repetition of v/hat has been the case lor do-atles, and if no more permanent road work is clone i'i the future than bas hern ilum* in Ihr past. Hie rame thing will I be repeated tor ilio nexi generation. We do not j mean iiy this ?tat 'men! 10 re Heel on the work done j by any ottieiul ot till! euunty. The;, have done the best I hoy could with the nu ans ?t their command, hut what wi ivls'.i t.) do is to tall' Ihe attention nf I he people to a fact they realize exists, and to en deavor to direct their nlieniinn to the only avail able means for it-; correction, and to prevent the "nloF.su! waste and loss sustained by every citizen of the county. The remedy is Just wlia* Ore -avilie ami Kichlaml legislators have done in IIk* present session of the legislature, Greenville bit. secured the passage of a law requiring the county supervisor of Green ville County to Issue bonds up to $1.000.000; ftlch laml County has done the pnnio thing up to $1.250. 000. What these counties have done we cull upon the Anderson delegation to do. Tack a rider ''.into the bill for Greenville County, or for Rlehland County und malte their provisions apply to Ander son County, Oh. yes, it will take nerve to do it. but If the Anderson delegation has not enough of that necessary article, let them visit a drug store and secure a nervine. Or better let them return to their home ami attempt to dr ve over sonic of the rural routes of the county, it vou please. They will return to Columbia ami their servos \.lll stand the strain of introducing thlj progressive legisla tion. Wo relieve that the delegation will do It if their mention is called to it in th.? proper way. There fore, we coll upon all citizens of the county who wish to see this county take a "front line" stand on this important qUC3tlon, ;o write, wire or 'phone tho members of tho delegation at once urging them to get busy on this proposition anil put it through at oiice. It is important that It be done NOW, as (liere .-cumins but a few days of the :teBslon. and ac tion must be taken Rt once. We would urge the An derson Chamber of Commerce to call a meeting i>f jlts>VoaHj?^ take steps to bring this matte* to.'(lia- attention"of the delegation In a force ; ful manner. Let the directors s?nd n delegation of progressive citizens to Columbia from all sections tof the county to urgo thi.j uction. ? iVnders.in County.must keep up with hor progres sive neighboro, and IhJs.-ctcp is. n. jst important'. fi t % Orllt/iJHESHIVF I>KI.K?AT!<?. The Orcenvllla County delegation does not know exactly %1(fncr?' ft Is ?V'Just now, so for as the opinion* .'ihn-.votoro is concerned Tho delega tion Jpy taken nteps which surprised the entire county. It is the most active and radical represen tation which Greenville has had lni some time. The money appropriated exceeds the appropriations of other del?galions; and this, too, is u time when economy is urged. Cut let us consider all eldcj of this question. The ch.legation has done nothing which will bank rupt the county. On tho contrary* Ilm gr-.id roads will bring actunl dollars and cents to the majority of citizens. The farinera will suffer less wear mid tear upon their stock und vehicles. They will lind It quicker, easier and much moire pleasant to come to the city when there Is occasion for such a trip. They will find that tho social life of the communi ties Is improved, burnure it will be ea3ier to get front one place to another. Good minis are necessary to prosperity. They arc necessary for Iho development of the social j side of rural life. How were we to get thoso toads if tho delegation did not take the Initiative? There wao but one expeditious way: appropriate th? money and hove tho roads built. IT Tho News be lieved that citizen.-? would be burdened Voyond their, means. Ihe bend Issue would have been opposed. Dut there will bo no unreasonable- burden. The levy, in fact, will not bo Increased, possibly; and if Increased. It will be but slightly so. The money which tli'a county has been spending for patch work anil temporary road const ruction In years past, will ho saved. Wo shall have our roads for all time, assuming that a reasonable sum will be laid aside each year for maintenance. The delegation, because ot Its action in regard to tnc road matter. Is being criticised now. Hut a year hence, or two years hence, this delegation will bo vastly popular. The News predicts. It Is one of tho few delegations which has done anything of much importance. It had the nerve to do. and tho wisdom to know what should bo done. The roads will make Urconvtllo County a very different place. They will place us on a parity with Mecklenburg County. North Carolina, and with other counties which have been taken out of the mud, and made prosperous by excellent highways. !? There was no need to do a little work now, and some more at a future t'.mc. Do It all at once. Give every section of tho county creditable highways, and glvo these highway ; at once. That Is the Idea of the delegation, and it Is the correct idea, as thla paper sees the case. From time to time, as the situation, develops, The News hopes to give figures which will show that tho country people will hot be burdened with taxation, and that they will be the chief beneficiaries of tho roads.?Tho Greenville News/''' ' A man. has to pay war revenuo tax when he geti a license to bag a dear. . What about a license- te bag the other kind. Our mothers wore sailor hats, our wives are wear Ing battleship hats, and. heaven knows what oui daughters will bo wearing. CltEEM VILLE DELEGATION'S I'ltOVKESNlYE LEGISLATION. It is refreshing to watch ttic* progr: sslvc antl fearless course being taken in the legislature by l?. Greenville dclegation. Those gentlemen went io Columbia with a program of progressive legis lation mapped out. ami planned for I he upbuilding of Greenville County, and with a determination to remove the business affairs of the county as far as possible fipin i lie maelstrom of po'i .< ;. They have nut given a thought to the effe> >. hucIi regu lation would have on their future political aspira tions, which is a new and novel experience for a ?olugatlon In this State. They have broken all rec ords ahd smashed traditions right and h Tl. While they have ,dIrr?el up a veritable hornet's nest in hat old i .unity, their audacity and fearlessness can but command respect and inspire confidence. Fu ture g?n?rations will rise up and call them blessed lor having the courage of their convictions, and ?lo in).', what the county needed to have done. Wo take of oiii' hats to them, and iruvl thai their tribe may increase. ? < |^ 'OT ft .lilt. IIA .MMFTPS GOOD WORK. The Intelligencer does net know whether or not Mr. .las. I . Ilatniuett. who for the pant two yearn has been chairman of the executive committee and In ice the head of the chamber of commerce, will consent to be re-elected for a third term to that oltlco at the meeting of the new board of director.; which Is to be held Wednesday evening. If he wili consent, th city and the organization are both to be congratulated. I'm'.cr his administration great progress has been made In Anderson, and no one conversant with existing facts doubt;! the very large part the chani ber of commerce hu3 played in that prpgrcjs. It is ft) be continued, and while The lutclllgenccr hopes Mr. liammett will consider and accept ie-olet: tioa. still If ho will not, any member of the board would Bplcndhily fill the ollice. and the u33o.-iaticm and the city generally may he assured thai u con tinuation of effort will be secured, carrying out the policies of the organization, and making it as in the I par.? a powerful weapon for the good of Anderson and her trade territory. The Intelligencer takes this opportunity to thank Mr. liammett in the name of our whole citizenship lor what he liar, done and for what he has stood for; and feels that no one in Anderson will appre ciate continued good results more so than he. The/work of a commercial organisation in difli cult. intricate, complicated and' trying, and yet no word of criticism of a destructive natura is ever heard in Anderson against the organisation whicli honored Mr. liammett with Its chief office. It 13 a tribute of which ho and the city may both fool proud. CONCERNING CORN BREAD. Ono of the reasons why the price of bread has not advanced in the South, notwithstanding the distressing advances uotud In many oitlos of the East and the North, la because Southern'people particularly tho people, of this Immediate' section-^ consume so much corn l-rcad. . , , In the larger cities of tho East; corn bread is al most unknown./ Such a thing ns eggbroad is an un heard of luxury in millions of homes beyond the South. . . " ,( ' ' In Georgia, it is entirely -probable) t'nnt one.half if not more, of the broad consumed'-in the average family each year is mudc of corn meal. Tho very best quality or corn mcaX Is to bo had In tho South. Much of It is v.atcr-gi>ound. In the rniallor Pr?lls scattered throughout' the rural 6cc tiono. This me^l Is the finest, the most wholcsomo, ane the most toothsome produced In C o world. It Ib true that corn broad Is more of a plebeim. article. In theory* than wheat bread. Wheat flour it the accredited aristocrat in the kingdom of bread. When ono gets right clown to tho truth of tin matter, however, wheat bread is no bottor thai com bread, and it is extremely doubtful whethei it ia as nourishing and desirable as an article o food. Anyway, whatever the truth of that may be, thi cornpone. : tho corncake, and ths oggbread of thi South are standing us in a-mighty good stead to day, ., They are holding down the price of. wheat bread at'loast.?Atlanta Georgian.- ' ' A WELCOME VISITOR TO TiJ^S OFFICE.
