C. Feb. 7.?-Owing to tho continued rains the roads are simply fearful. It is with a great deal of dilllculty that the farmers get toj market. Work at tho Ware Shoals Is pro-1 grossing well, considering tbo cold in clement weather. Two phone wires conneot the Shoals with Laurens and ere long the Shoals will have a railroad from Barmore'son the Southern. This will facilitate carriage of material to the Shoal?. Sometime ago mention was made concerning tho building of or completing the road which was graded via the Shoals and through Sullivansl Township to Greenville. We do not see* why it should not be to tho advantage of some company to finish this road. In our humble opinion this could be made j one of the best roads in tho Stato, as it, goes through the very best, or ns good farming sections as there are in the South. Our people aro ready to do what they can to get this road iu oper-j tion. The far greater part of the grad ing is already done. So we are now ready to negotiate w ith some enterpris ing company who will como along this way. The school at Hrewerton is very good and is getting along well under the management of our teacher, the Rev. J. O. Marlin. Up to date there are 55 scholars enrolled. By way of an ex hibit and an entertainment the sohool! had a debate last Frflaay ? The subject was: "Resolved, that if preference shou'd be given, the boy should bo bet ter educated." The cogative won. The school will have another next Friday. "Resolved, that city life is more advan tageous to the culture and development of tho young." The trustees and pa trons are earnestly requested to be on hand. We take this occasion to invite our County Superintendent, Mr. Brooks to be with us. We think it is) getting time for him to come over and seo how we aro getting along. Mrs. Salllo Bolt of HoneaPath is vis iting in this community. Also, Mr. Willie Stansell and family of Willlam ston.

A better way is to cake out the orearn?rich milk with the cream taken out is as good as poor milk with its oream all in. But we needn't go into particulars . | You don't rob your milk and your customers. Paint is as easy as milk to cheat with. Good paint is as rare as good milk; for human nature is much the same in milk men and paint men. You are just and true with your milk; so are we with our paint. Dcvoe Lead and Zinc is twice as good as mixed paints. There's twice as much butter in it. Mr. J. T. Ladd, Cheraw, S.

Plan Proposed for tho Issuance of Count/ Bonds?Tax Levies Re commended. The South Carolina Good Roads Con vention met in Columbia last week. F. II Hyatt of Columbia is president and State Geologist Earle Sloan is secre tary. The most important business trans acted was tbe passage of the following resolutions: Whereas the development of the re sources and industries and the ad vancement of tho highest civilization of this State largely depend upon the facilities for intercourse and trans poralion, and Whereas the constantly Increasing service imposed upon tho highways renders them extremely difficult to travel, tho Improvement of these high ways becomes an Imperative necessity for which the present statutory pro visions are lamentably inadequate, therefore be it Resolved, That the honorable legis lature now in session be earnestly me-1 morialized to enaot suoh legislation as will relieve the oppressive burdens of! almost impossible travel to the marts of trade, to the school houses and to churches. That this honorable body be petitioned accordingly to firant the following prayers, to wit: 1. That tbo respective counties be authorized to issue county bonds for the betterment of their public high ways and bridges, provided the "[ma jority of such qualiflold electors as are free-holders may so decide in an elec tion to bo called by the county com missioners. 2. That tho respective boards of county commissioners of this State be authorized to institute a tax levy for tbe improvement of their respective roads and bridges. 3. That th-> honorable legislature will enjoin upon our representatives in congress the importanco of according their earnest support to tho measure now pending befoto that body whioh provides for national co operation in the improvement of the public high ways, tho same being essential to tbe ready transmission of the United States mails. 4. That the honorable senate be urged to enact tho measure approved by the honorable house which provides that all convicts under sentence to penal servitude for a period of 10 years or Irsi sba<l sorve on tho chaingangs of tho respective counties in which they have been convicted, 5. Resolved, That tho chairman shall appoint a committee of which he shall be ex-omcio chairman, to tender a copy of theeo resolutions to tho appropriate committee of the senate and house and to urge that they grant the relief herein prayed. The .second section at first indicated that each township might be taxed at the discretion of tho majority of its free holders but this was thought inad visable and that section was so altered as to force the richer townships to help the poorer ones In oase of a tax leyy.

Agent for HERE'S A CHANCE TO GET SOMETHING FOR NOTHING. The Advertiser Offers for a Time Some Advertising Space Free to Subscribers. Advertising is offered free. Thk- Advertiser offers it. For any subscriber who. i? paid up, Thk Advertiser will print, one time, an advertisement of not more than 25 words without any charge whatever. Foreaoh; word,over 26, the charge will be one cent each time the adver tisement appears. Thus The Advertiser is again of* faring something new.*, What Is the object? by \l f Well, Thk Advertiser is not pub lished for "its health," as the saying is. Here is the scheme: People In Lau ren* do not indulge In transient or short ad*. This business is not what it should be. The Ai>vbrtjrer believes that if the people, could once learn^that an adver tisement of a cow for saw, or a posl Advertiser make tlon wanted, or wood for sale, or chick ens or eggs, butter, milk, cotton seed, peas, hay, and a hundred other things, will pay, they would advertise more. Henco these free ads. are offered for a short time only, with the aim of get ting business. Komember that a free ad. will go In but once for the same subscriber. If he wants it for a second lime, the price' vtill bo one cent a word and not less than ?6 words. If you bave anything to sell, a plan tation, a cow. a dog, if you want any thing from a railroad down to a three dollar mule, try an advertisement?not over 25 words?in The Advertiser, free. Tho aim is to iuuw tho people that lh/s sort ol advertising pays. This of f&> will be withdrawn after a few ^eks. It is only an experiment, ft injonljr made to paid-up subscribers.
