GREENWOOD BARS THE PUBLIC ,DANCE 01,7 (Onundil 'Prdlilblis Enitertaluments in Futttre of Certain Order. Greenwood, March 8.-The dances given 'in this city have become the -snbiject 'of so .much uinfavorable crit icism -that ut a meeting of the city oouncil last 'Thuirsday night, strong steps were taken, and all -public dances were iule(d oit. The council let it be Imown that' if necessary an ordinance to this effect would be passed. The so-called oratorical ball here last spring was considered a disgrace to Greenwood and was severely con demunedby the press and the good peo jdc of Greenwood. While these dances may he no tworse than they are at other 0laces they are not ny'anted here. Pres idents of colleges have written citizens I)rotesting against a dance hcre in con nection with the oratorical contest wlileh is to be held 'here in April. The chamber of commerce got behind the dance proposition and at its i'(ieAt 41he council acted. It shou1i(l be inder stood that the good people of Green wooI are in hearty sympathy -with the actiomof the council, and th-at they are as strongly opposed to these (lances as atre the presidents of the colJeges who have tmade protests against them. Thew following 'is 'the text of the resoluo tion piassedi by the council and the let. ter of the' chamber)C of comumer'ce: Walewas, Public (lances cond~uctedl in this town for the last two or thr'ee years to Which all persons, r'egardiless of charadter have .been admitted on p~aymnft of' 'an ndlmittancee fee have 'given ise to much adverse criticism andi condenumation by our religious antd educatitonal leaders. Thmere'fore be It reosolvedl Ftirst, That we desire toe assure those who have the religions and moral ,well-b~eing of 'the young people of this coimmmity at heart that we are in full symjpathy with them in all eifforts for thle pro' s er'vtiton of thbe good. tinme of this Secon, Tht wilte de do not think it wise or nec'essary13 to) (enaCt an or'di inancei prtohtibitinK uicih (dances nat ithis: timeit. wei standi ready to (enaclt iiuchl ani ord1ina nce if Itic pr'eva illin g sent i .ment of the good ipeople is still dlisrc garded.

VIGHWT ADVOCATES ROAD BOND ISSUES S4 County Should ContineProgres. 81ve Policies Already Begun. Editor The Advertiser: Please -permit me the use of your columns -to have soiething to say to the people regarding the election to be held on April-5th, owhich is adver -tised in this- week's ipapers, for the purpose of voting on two proposed bond issues. Our delegation, at the last session of the legislature passed two acts, the first of w'hich provided for an election for the purpose of Issuing $30,000.00 in bonds for building. a road from Clinton to Musgrove Mill. The other act provided for voting on a bond is sue of the sa-me amount for the pur pose of completing the Piedmdnt High way, which is now under construction, from Owings Station to Fountain Inn. It seems to me that the people of our county should vote favorably on both of these pirpositions. The road from Clinton to Musgrove Mill will put that section of the county into close touch with the Cross .Anchor section of Spar tnbnrg county and also with a portion of Union County and iwill no doubt re suit in bringing a considerable amount, of trade inte our county. Clinton is certainly entitled to this road and we should all do our best to see that she gets it. As to the completion of the road from Owings to Fountain Inn, we all realize the importance of completing this short link, which will result in there being an improved top soil road from IKinards, on the Newberry line, straight through to the mountains of weatern North Carolina. A top soil road through Newberry and Lexington counties Is -now under construction, opening the way from Columbia straight through to the mtoutains. As stated above, these two elections should certainly he carried by the vot ers of the county, for In the first tplace the roads to be provided are very tim portant and In the second place, even though times are hard, the cost to the tax-payers of the county will be less than one mill. Lait 'week at a meeting of the Com mercial Club, of Clinton, comprising one hundred business men, they unan Imously passed a resolution in which they pledged their support to both of these projects and in return they ask the balance of the county to do the same. It seems to me that the people of Laurens should give a very large vote in favor of these two projetA, for the City of Laurens, owing to its geogra:h leial location, has received far more benefit from the top soil roads which have been built than any other section of the counly and their position would be most ungraclous. and selfish should they not whole-heartedly support these two projects. Certainly citizens of Cross 11111, .lointville, Gray Couit, Tnimbling Shoals, Princeton and other comiiu n ities, who have gotten the benefit of impi avedI roads, should also give thtelir unqualifIed indlorsement and should they fail to do so, they wvould niecess sarily be open to a great deal of right coius citicismi for their selish attitude. Inven 'those sections of the county, which have not as yet gotten any bene fit from the improved highways, should supplort these two projects for the rea son that the county should undertak~e improved road avork each year' and those sections not now benefitt(d, 50oon wouildl be. Th'le Hlighway Commission expiects to have the new road between Laur'ens and Clinton cuoon for traille in four' or live weceks.
