Routr* No. 1, July Editor Ledger: —I noticed last issuo of your paper people that live in the of Cherokee county.

I do not live west of Gaffney but half of the year. I have been teach- in school in the part of the counry for the last three years, four months in the winter, two in the summer, and as 1 go to town very often 1 have traveled the macadamized roads and those that are not. in all kinds of weather Sometimes 1 would get a chance to ride, and again I would walk, and several times to keep warm and out of the mud I would strike a “trot.” I am. and have for some time been, in favor of good roads. I wish we had more of them macadamized, if people could travel them in all kinds of weather, as I have, 1 think more of our good people would stop “cussing” out our county officials and the road machinery and try to put it to work in place of standing out in the sun iteing eaten up by rust. There are many people who are op posed to road machinery in every sense of the word, and f think myself that it was bought before we were ready to use it successful!v: hut as we have it now on our hands lot's use it. Get a few men to run it who know ' something about how it should be run, and take the convicts and keep them al] at work, and in a few years we will have all the leading roads from town macadamized and in such a condition that they will not have to tie worked every time we have small rain.

But we must stop and think how much more a man would have to pay for a place near town and consider what his tax should be on tbe same. To live anywhere in five miles of Gaffney he would have to pay from twenty to a hundred dol lars per acre for land, while on the other hand he could get away from town ten or fifteen miles just as good a farm eight or ten dollars an acre. Now. which of the two should have the macadamized roads tY> travel? The man who pa vs the most tax and where traveled most, or the away from town and much? Our roads all over the county are much better than they were fifteen vears ago, for which T am trulv glad. Just think how long we had to wait afrer a big rain before we could haul our guano from town. Now we can go to town after a load, and if there come a big rain while we are in town, before our mules get through eating and we are ready to start back the roads are in exeellent condition. I say. for one. give us better roads. Do what we can now and when our countv gets more prosperous than it now is we will do more, and when our life is over and we come to die we will not he ashamed to leave our pos terity with good roads to travel, nor the county in which we lived.

On last Thursday morning the storm was very severe here and did will form I considerable damage to lands,and was one of the heaviest that has fallen since the June freshet of 1903. Most of the farmers have a consid erable amount of plowing to do yet. Cotton is looking very well, although young cotton is almost fruitless as yet. We are requested to announce that on Saturday before the first Sunday in August all that foe] an interest in the Gethsemane cemetery will meet; and clean it off. Also on Tuesday | before the second Sunday In August till who are interested in the cemetery at this place will meet for the same purpose. Mrs. Pope Scott, who Itas been vis-J iting her parents. Mr. and Mrs. P. C. Garvin, of this section, has returned to her home in Charlotte, N. C. Miss Eugenia Clary and little broth er. Clanton, visited friends In the An tioch section a few days last week. The boys have met and reorganized ! their baseball club. This team has J been victorious on most all occasions until last season. It seems it re ceived a blow that almost proved Sundav School I ,ara L having losf the majority of thej games. However, we hope that no trouble will arise this season thatj will give sufficient cause for defeat. Ml should come out and encourage the boys. On tlie fourth Sunday in this month there will be a day of pleasure with the Sunday school at this place. Some special music is being prepared for the occasion, and several good speak-1 ers have been invited, among them Prof. R. C. Sarratt. Prof. A. G. Davis, of Wilklns^llle. will assist in the mu sic. which gives assurance that all who attend will receive a treat in that one] respect. Dinner will be on the grounds, and everybody is invited to attend. Many have sold their cotton, as the price of the staple has reached the ten cent mark. To Secretary Chest- ham. of the Cotton Growers’ Associa tion, the entire cotton belt owes an uplifting respect and gratitude. He discovered a leak in the recent gov ernment reports; he is laboring for a prosecution that in our opinion will eventually prevent the people of the south from being robbed of their hard earned money by the speculators of Wall street. Mr. Cheatham is unde-go ing an experience that no one else lias ever undergone. We would sa.» th it in no other way may we hope to keep our dearly-bought, but priceless, freedom than by studying for our selves the course of politics an.l the causes that lead to nations’ decline and consequent enslavement. Ameri can freedom rests with American farmers. If. then, their struggle is t<H> much no time will be left them • > encounter and eradicate the political curses with which our own favored land is about to be overrun. Were we to play “shut-mouth” throughout which a great majority of the south ern farmers do, what would become of the farmers? Every other class of people in the world stands by its profession; and why not the farmers? Wo predict that if the south will as sist Richard Cheatham and other lead ing men who are making earnest ef forts to overpower the scoundrels, nothing but bettor conditions can ex ist among the farmers of the South. In the light of these reflections we hesitate, not to the hindering thorns and thistles—grow on! We even wel come them with complacent smiles, as’ only the checks to insatiate gain, and yield them the corners of the fields until the whole business is out of business. But. alas! what a time of trouble, such as the world has not scan, is coming first. Japan, .in her effort to remove that trouble for her people, has but kindled a flame that may in a few years encircle the entire globe. Russia, the first to feel it. may not bo the last or the greatest 1 sufferer. This is just our illustration. No such trouble can arise between the bulls and the hears. All in all. let us as a people work and push for the best. We admired the latter writ ten by J. L. S. and published in last t Friday’s issue, and ask that he give us his views on the subject.
