It is possibly better that little hr said of the tragedy enacted at Green ville in which a Laurens county citi zen was the principal actor; but therr is much to he learned. The lesson of it all is brought. home most im pressive ly by a silent contemplation of the sorrow and disgrace in the homes 01 them all.

"Cap'n" Branlett had a rath er "ticklish" job on his hands to re Imove the supliports without injury to tne building and "contents", but the job was finished without a ripple on the "serenity of the evening". Al though some of the onlookers "Ioss ing" the job prophesied that the build ing wuizld fall in, none of The Adver tiser force were uneasy, but staid on the job. lowever, when the tine came for the supports to be actually re moved, there were so many unusual little details in the process inter esting from scientific and other standpl oints that. all d11sks were closed down, maclhinery stopped andi the force went out on the street to watch the sight. The new sitpport being put in and no further interest being at tached to the rest of the job, -all the force returned to their posts5. None of them were in t-he least uneasy about the .building falling in.

It would not be a great deal of trouble and expense for every farmer to put a sand-clay surface on the main road running through his promises. It should be a matter of pride for prop erty owners to have the roads in front of their houses properly graded and surfaced. Certainly it would increase a man's own self-respect while com manding the respect and commenda tion of others. The sand-clay road and the split-log drag is a combination that can not be beat. The two go to gether and should be infeparable. Iaurens Advertiser. This is worth serious thought. If we could just get. the people to think and to think broadly and beyond their own little selves we could 'have the ideal life. How easy it would be for every property owner, at least to co operate, in the maintenance of the road through his place. It should be, as the Advertiser says, a matter of pride to have the road in front of your home property graded and surfaced and then dragged. If you would do It you would soon come to have a high er regard for yourself and then you would be an example to your neigh bor and soon every one else would be doing something to improve the road. Before you can do much in improv ing the schools or in bettering country life something must be done for the roads. Good roads are the fore-run ners of the general uplift of rural con ditions and rural life. Every one should be interested and a little self help and personal interest and coop eration will go a long way in road building and road maintenance.-New berry Herald and News. SPECIAL NOTICES.

In return the County provides nec essary medical attention and medi cines, clothing and cloth for clothing to be made up, pays for repairs on the premises, and ,pays the superintend ent the sum of Two 50-100 Dollars per month for each pauper, and in -addi tion, the free rental of the county farm for agriclutural purposes. This about the same contract that we have had for a number of years, and believe that, all things considered, it Is the best arrangement that can be made. As to highway and bridges, we would report that with the exception of some damage to the roads by reason of the recent bad weather, the roads of the county are in fair shape, in fact have been in better 'condition during tiue past winter than is usual for the season of year. While it is true that many of our roads are not what they should be. still if a comparison be made as be tween the roads now and the condi tion of the same roads eight or ten years ago a very great general im1 provement will be noted We have had a very good winter for work an - have put the time in in wid ening and relocating some of the more important roads, and in this respect have accomlplishel more than in any previous winter. The bridges of the county, general hy, are in good condition. Of course there are always some repairs needed at some point, but taken as a whole we have better bridges over the coun ty than ever before. And despite the fact that we failed to get an appropri ation last year to cover our March, 1912 bridge loss, we have managed to replace most of the bridges then de stroyed by better ones than the old. Our expenditures have been very heavy during the past by reason large ly of the unusual amount of bridge work, as will be noted from our Fi nancial Report which has been hand ed in separately. As to Magistrates, we would report that all of the magistrates of the county have regularly submitted their books for examination as provided by Par. 1109, Vol. 1, Code 1912, except Magistrate W. T. Crews of Laurens 'Township, whose books have not been presented for examination since July, A. D. 1913. We ind further that he has not made setiltements with the County Treasurer as the law requires, and are not able to say what the con dition of his accounts may be. We know of nothing seriously affect ing the public health, or otherwise, that we deem of sullcient importance to be brought to your attention. Respectfully submitted, H1. 13. Ilumbert. S'upervisor.

TRIED FOR MURDER GIVEN LIFE SENTENO3 (Continued from Page One.) court. le was given a sentence of ten years in the state penitentiary or on the county chain gang, this being the minimum sentence, the evidence hay ing shown that the young negro was largely influenced by his filther. It will be remembered that his father, Lace Glover, was killed by Sheriff Ow ings and Deputy Abercrombie some weeks ago when the two offilcers at tempted to arrest .him on the same charge. The testimony at the trial was that Lace Glover burned the barn and that his son accompanied him when the crime was committed. A verdict of not guilty was directed by the court in the case of Emma Glov er, her direct connection with the crime not being established. Thursday afternoon the court ac cepted a plea of guilty from Link Sherman, colored, charged with rape and sentenced him to thirty years im prisonment or hard labor on the coun ty gang. Sank Griflin, a colored hack driver of Laurens, also charged with rape, was found not gulItyby the jury sitting on his case. Roy Sanders, t young white man, plead guilty to violating the dispen sary law and was sentenced to three months on the county chain gang or to a fine of $100. Before passing sen tence Judge Bowvmas lectured lin in a fewv words, stating that 'his plea of guilty savedl him from a heavy sen tence on the chain gang without tho alternative of the fine. It was only upon01 thle promise not to indulge in selling whiskey again was the sen tence made as lighlt as It was. Several other minor eases were dis posed of b~y the court during the norn ing session Thursday. STOP-LOOK-LISTEN. Thlousands Now Using Wonderful LivT er Remedy from Hot Springs, Ar hansas.
