APRIL ia. 1903. * . Supervisor Graham gives notice * this : week that the time-honored custom of ploughing up the public road* 0t?p> This interdiction | > will no doubt cause some dissatisfhtftibn. among certain individuals who have from time immemorial tfe^pasisd upon 'the public right of way; but the law prescribes the w-^idjth^ the public roads and it is eminently proper that it should be . f*?#pr?d. - latt Friday an election was held - " * L.il f Bamberg lor determining wnemer or not bonds should be issued for . % $10,Q0Q .school buildings . We are informed that the election was car? V ried overwhelmingly in favor of is* suing the bonds' and the work of building will be commenced in the \T- npjj* future. In every case where I these elections have been held they in sweeping victories for tile schools, and that, too, in the faoe of some very determined oppo' sition. Kbthing ipteaks better' for th( upbuilding of our State than this awakening along educational fines. With an intelligent citizenship we may look forward with oompiaeency to the future. { L v An election on the question of issuing bonds to erect a new school building was held at Honea Path .(Anderson county) last Tuesday, bVIaW wmlM in a viof/trv for fhp WIUVM IWUHBU ? W . tv^r. J ?school by a,,yofe of 71 to 9. The Honra Bath Chronicle states that the opposition was led by the Hon. Joshua W Ashley and that that dia' tingnished statesman threatens to 'f' test the validity of the election in Ifce courts. While it is perfectly natoral that- Mr'Ashley would be ^agin"' anything; tending to pro. Stole what he so conspicuously lacks, wo ate-glad to note that his efforts so futile.-- Surely politics in r-'Auth Carolinais looking up when "Citisen" Josh Ashley-can influence only nine ' votes ^against a school hi his own native county 'of ^ <tfAfeder?on.n ; ? ' JBerr Krupp's income, ihe largest ever known in Germany, was ?w,uw a year. Colorado produced last year year more doflars' worth of silver than Alaska did of gold. ROBBED TIIE GRAVE.

' ; v V, iiyT'!"" i iwmoMfi ANSWERS CATEGORICALLY THE QUERIES OF "WATCH" a Again Shows That the Biblical Account of the Creation is not in Conflict With the "Testimony of The ' Rocks" Editor County Kecord: "Watch'' a^ks il l believe all ! the Bible. Yes, it is the revealed word of J (jod; before ii I staud In awe and would be the last one to throw at ! it a stone. | Bad men have been fighting it for ages; nations have tried to suppress it, and it is a thousand wonders, from a human point of view, that it has survived. . ' . I am not a literary scholar and what I do not understand i let j pa>s; it would be preposterous to say I believe not what I under-' stand not. I am thankful that the good Lord, tfitough a kind providence, has preserved it with all the essentials so plain that a way faring man, though a fooi, need not err therein. Hut "Watch" has kind of gol me in the personality of those college professors, lor I am not personally acquainted with any infidel professors, and I am glad, f should have written "college bred" or college graduates." I could call the names of some of the infidel graduates, but that is not the right thing to do. You cannot convince an infidel; let him alone, aud warn others. They seem to flatter themselves that their Intellect towers above ali f ho are ignorant enough to believe that God created the heaven and the earth. And yes! yes! When the sun was created on the fourth day it governed our kind of days; but what governed the first day ol creation? the second day? the third day? and, if you please, the fourth day? When God,forming the universe of millions and millions oi worlds, this world,?this little speck of creation,?compared to all other vast creations was not half as much as a grain of sand compared to a huge mountain. So his kind of days was scarcely cbnimensur able wilh the awful expanse n! his creations. "A thousand years in Thy sight are as but a watch m the night." And those shells had lime to grow; the whole earth was covered with a rtnod of waters for at least three'of God V kind of days. It is true Moses mentions fishes as created on the fifth day. A new era had arrived after gathering together of the waters, and' the appearance-of dry land. Perhaps it was second creation of fishes to fit the new situation, a renewal of the mandate to 'multiply." Moses -could not mention every thing that - God did, and it looks to many that fishes sported in the waters of the original flood. "He created the earth not in vain, lie created it to be inhabited." Of course this matter is too big for us. But it is our high privi lege to contemplate, meditate and ponder upon God's wonderful works. Geological research calls for immense periods of time, and 1 do not ?ee that it is opposed to God?s word. I do not know who cut the ropes of. the holiness tent; but I thought it went without saying that disturbers of religious meetings or perpetrators of malicious mischief were bad people; and I have been wondering what prompted> that question. Does "Watch" think it was a good thing to do? If he doesl don't -believe he could find a man to think with him in all Poesusi Fork. P. S. I wish, Mr Editor, the mail matter' from above could be delivered at Kingstree every night from the down mail train; then you would get it tbe'6ame day it ' . .1 v T is mailed at Johnsoiiville.

A considerable number of names of persons in arrears to The Record are being dropped from the list. This is no reflection upon them, it may be that they are perfectly good for' their debts and intend to pay them, but the Record cannot afford to con tinue the paper to those who are in arrears and who have paid nothing lately and have said nothing about paying. Subscriptions are payable in advance. Some of the names to be dropped are of persons who subscribed within the past six months, but who have forgotten to pay.
