However, we be lieve he is wrong’about the peo ple not being ready for good roads—that is if the matter is put to them intelligently. But no one will ever be able to say whether or not the people want good roads until the people are permitted to give expression to their views on this subject at the sary, tho-e counties which have voted out the dispensary under the lirice law cannot have an election on the question of coun ty dispensaries until four years Irom the time of such Brice law election with certain named exceptions. Spartanburg coun ty voted om the dispensary under the Brice law in Novem her, 1905, and, therefore, can not vote again on this subject ballot box, and they cannot give 1 un jji November, 1909. Nobod' expression to their views at the ballot box until our representa tives have a law passed permit- ling them to do so. If we are not mistaken the people of this county are now paying from $8,000 to $10,000 per year road tax and they are getting mighty poor roads. If they would issue $260,000 worth knows what public sentiment in this county can be then, bu* everybody knows that prohibi- bition will be sustained in this county, if an election were held now, by two to one.” The same here Prohitition is uopular in Greenville county and it is not at a \ e that there will be any decrease in this sentiment before 1909.

Baseball was originally, like cricket, it man's game, hut in the eighties an English man named Hill changed it so that wo men might play. Then it became pop ^ ulur in America, where amusements are always arranged so that women may take part in them. Since then baseball has become almost the na tional game there.” The writer then gives a long description as to how the game has been improved in Vienna, “where it is played both in the open and indoors.” According to the de scription, the game does not bear the slightest resemblance to American baseball. «v ^ '• 4. * * 1 o. * / jj /» / vv —* v ^- and lock in in -r 1 ' ■ c 3 —' You ca . t ?) * | c nr in to think of ta' 'mg it. << $ B' i.

Th^ following simple home-made of A% bonds they could build, . , .

I would be greater than it was 000 they are now paying out J . before, for bad road In tins way they would not.be taxed a dol. lar more for good roads than they are now being taxed for bad roads. Again, one hundred miles of good roads would traverse this county four times. It would almost put every man in the country on or within hailing distance of a good road. The man who lived three or four miles from a good road could haul two bad road loads to the good road, put it all in one load, and go to market with less ex pense than he can now go to market. It would increase the value of land. It would make nauling easy, • pleasant and profitable. In short, it would revolutionize the hauling indus try of this county. Give us a chance at good roads and we believe the people will vote for them. A useful thing about a woman be ing thin is there’s plenty of room for pocli-etbooks where lots of them carry their money.
