traveled the macadamized roads
of Gaffney, to speak out through
paper as to whether we need
more of that kind of roads.
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.

the roads are
one who lives
pays no * tax
go unworked. 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.

Corinth, July 14.—Throughout this
section we have been visited by good
reins. 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.

The boys have met and reorganized !
their baseball club. This team has

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
