Crai Mal. .'pDTQ't:+-Please give mte spa for the felfowing article: I have always felt myself too mode to make a boast of my deeds and it not the intention of this article to mal such an Impression on any one. But z it seems that there are a few peop who apparently feel that nothing wort mentioning in the way of roads ar bridges has been accomplished in ti last six or seven years, I feel it m duty and certainly a pleasant task t remind them of a few things that have accomplished in the past seve years, some of which they ought t know without my having to tell their I have had constructed twenty-tw sets of concrete abutments which is 8 per cent ol all the concrete of the cour ty ar.d about 30 per cent of both roc and cement previously constructed. I the construction of these abutments have made earth fills and eliminated at proximiately 800) lineal lfeet of bridg floor and made considerable filling a other bridges where it was necessary make a high-water crossing. In addition to the above, I have bee called on to do considerable line bridg repairs by Greenville and Oconee cour ties. Iavenel bridge, which has bee expected to fall in the river for years has been overhauled and made good ui der my personal supervision, and I, i no boasting way, take the credit fo saving the county a considerable sun on this job. I think I am right when say that 80 per cent of the permaneni waterways under the roads of the coun ty has been placed under my supervis ion. I think less useless roads hav been recommended and opened by n than by any previous supervisor. I hay widened and made other valuable in provements on almost every main higi way in the county and I see no signs t show that any supervisor has handle the matter of road location with mor care than I have. I have borrowed money for runnin expenses at as low, if not lower rate c interest than has been the custom c the county to pay. The general equip men t of the county has been much in proved. For the last two or three years th county has'operated under a great lon of high prices and I have never see the time when operating conditior were more unfavorable. I have not lone all things as I woul do them again, neither have I been abl to have all things done as I wante them done, and whatever the right < the wrong, my efforts have been to in prove conditions, and I promise tho: who woul be pleased to throw obstru tions in mly pathl that if I offer for r election this summer, I will take trut as I have always done, for my weapo and use it wjxh a liberal amount of e ergy to slaughter rotten politic schemes. If any one is doubtful about the statements and figure4, I believe that he will talk with me on the matter wvill be able to showv him that they ha close to fiacts. I feel that in most of this work I ha had the co-operation of my commissic ers. JAn. B1. CRAto, Supervisor. Our Company Street The following poem wias written Private James E. Pace, son of A.

We hope that he will hind others who are there from Pickens and will continue to give The Sentinel read ers news notes from the boys and also { the diff'erent kinds of work and training they are doing. There is nothing con cerning our boys in khaki but that is interesting. e Personally, I found so much comfort t and strength in the little quotation: "It's no use to grumble and complain, It's just as easy and cheerful to re joice, When God sorts out the weather and sends the rain, Why--rain's my choice." Through this, in my mind's eye, I caught a glimpse of his grand old r father, the lev. I). W. Hiott, who has n been a God-send in so many homes on I the darkest days by enabling us to see t our greatest blessings through them.
