The Columbia Record is arranging a g(HHl roads campaign in conjunction with the county! papers of the State, to l>e con- j ducted during the months of July and August. To aid in the work the United States Department of, Agriculture has given the services' of Mr I)r I) H Winslow, super-j intendent of road construction. I I who will accompany The Record's party and give the people of this State the benefit of bis knowledge and experience in road-building. The plan is to hold a meeting j .at every county seat?a sort of ' " 1 good roaus rauy?aau uic uauc fixed for the Kingstree meeting is Thursday, July 28, at 12 o'clock, Jioon. Now the committee of arrangements wants to kiiow, first, whether the date suggested will ?uit the people of this county, and second, what effort, if any, will l>e made io secure a good attendance here. The County Record to willing to lend any effort possible toward making this meeting a profitable one, but to insure its success we nm?t have the co-operation of our county and town officials and all other citizens who want to see a better highway system than at present exists. Then, we must have the assurance that the people of the county are sufficiently interested in the subject of roadbuilding to take a day off and listen to speakers who have made the subject a life-study, What say you, Mr Road Engineer and all the candidates for this position, is it worth your attention to help us get up a goodroads rally here on the 2Sth of July? R. S. V. P. Detroit has a physician named lionesetter. He is said to l>e a cute surgeon. The man who dictates to a pretty stenographer is likely to Ik* taken down every time. Some of the Congressmen who hurried home to look after their political fences when they arrived probably found that a cyclone Jiad struck the aforesaid fences. > Editor Stokes is giving his ! readers some convincing argument j in favor of State-wide prohibition. ] From an economic standpoint, as ' well as on moral grounds, it seems l>est that the six counties n??w operating dispensaries should lie put under the general law. t* i i rr A n KemarKS me lungsiree county Record: "One swallow doesn't make a summer, but one mosquito can keep awake a drummer." Of course it can do so, but we hope i nothing of the kind is permitted in * Kings tree. - Nem and Courier. Truth to tell, something of the Jj kind does happen in Kingstree occasionally, hut nothing to com- 5 Q pare with similar happenings in one King Street that we wot of. ^ We commend to our fellow citizens who bow down to the returned Rough Rider as a fetish, a careful perusal of the exceedingly strong and altogether admirable | letter of "Savoyard," one of the j keenest, cleverest newspaper writers and satirists of the day. It isn't dull, not a line of it. Every Democratic newspaper in . South Carolina ought to print this letter?every word of it. We need these reminders occasionally ?lest we forget. We invite the attention of our V T business men to the letter of our V Bethel correspondent this week, who asks the town's co-operation in inducing the Aldermans to t< extend their railroad through that ? fine section to Kings tree, thereby bringing these good people in d TO closer touch with us, to the mutual advantage of the respective fj connnunities. If there l>e any ^ g hope of getting the Alderman fj road to come in here, by all ^ means let us give our friends all ^ the moral and financial support hi that we can afford. ^ Our Clubbing Bates ?
