Madden, May 14.?We have been reading political platforms and reso lutions since we can remember, but the one put forth in The Herald last week Is so exceedingly strong and sound that we reproduce It here for the benefit of those who perchance did not see it, or elBe gave It only a curso ry reading. Here !s is "Resolved, That we will support no man for any of fice, state or county, or national, who does not possess the ability, charac ter and fitness to discharge the duties of the office and who will not be true to his convictions of right and free from the domination of any man or set of men, but will stand as the rep resentative of all the people." How Is that for a good sound plank? Ask your candidates for the legisla ture if they can stand on that, not are you a Bleaselte, or for Jones! Men is the need of the hour! "What constitutes a state? Not high embat tlements, etc., but men, but men, high minded men who know the right and knowing dare maintain"! Then you will have statesmen, not two by four politicians! It was unanimously agreed at Sun day school Sunday to Invite Hon. R. A. Cooper to address the old soldiers on the afternoon or Children's Day, before the decorations of '.he old sold iers' graves. It Is hoped that he can accept the Invitation, for nowhere would he be more cordially welcomed than at Prospect. We have also been requested to an nounce that the cemetery at Prospect will be cleaned off Thursday before the fourth Sunday. Let all those In terested make a note of it and be on hand to do a good day's work. It is especially deilred to get the cemetery in good shape before the new fence is put up.

Editor The Advertiser: Please allow me space In next Issue of your valuable paper to make some Inquiry, as to our supervisor, and de scribe conditions of this upper sec tion of Laurens county. When did our supervisor die, and where will he be buried? Some of the people In this community might want to go to his funeral. We have been trying, for the last 12 or 18 months to get him up here to make some changes on one of the worst located roads, and one that carries more heavy traffic, than any other road In this whole upper section of the county. We have a bridge down that's needed badly, on this road, and lumber has been on grounds for a new one, two months or longer; this lumber Is damaging badly and some of It is being thrown across the stream for people who might be walking, to cross on, and during the freshet Bome weeks ago a lot of this lumber floated quite a distance from the bridge site. It seems to us that a progressive man is needed badly in this office, if ever a county office needed one. If we mistake not. this county is entitled to two road commissioners. Will some one be so kind as to Inform this sec tion of the county whether these of fices are filled or not? Frequently we hear the supervisor's office has one of the best qualified men the county affords. We do not question his abil ity or competency, but desire some of the benefits of better highways while this generation lives. Traveling around over this section of the county, we hear a great many people express ing a desire for an opportun ty to show their appreciation for what's being done on our roads and bridges. The above Is a true picture of the situa tion as we see it, but hope to be able to look on an entirely different one in the near future. Oray Court, May 7th. Traveler.
