OOSSIMeOUE COftRtSPONDINT.< Aflairs at Andrews. Andrews, February 26:?Pneumo nia is becoming very prevalent 11 this community, there being severa very serious cases in and aroun< town. The severe cold rains and snov account for this malady. Mr vV J Dicker, a young man o this town, passed away a few day: ago, leaving a widow and six smal children. Mr Dicker was sick only ! few days. We are informed that th? cause of his death was tuberculosis The taking off of this young man i: peculiarly sad, as he left six smal I children fatherless.

All hop* to see him out again soon. Our community was visited last Wednesday by a very heavy wine and rain storm, which did much damage to timber and fencing. Now, Mr Editor, as to the few re mark3 made by this writer in par tial praise of Governor Cole L Blease Let me say, let's give even Satar credit for what good he does. I] tSi logs are in the road and Bleast cuts out only one with his veto axt he has done some good. Be assurec if Blease or some one else does noi cut appropriations our State will bt bankrupt within a few more years And to leave this subject with this remark: We all know that you oi any other editor can't love or admire Governor Blease, for you al ^ remember what he called editors ir ^..message to the General Assembut if you pick at every brute ht gn, jthrow back at you, but worst n](/i the human being,and especiall> ffj(h the Chief Executive of oui &te. I am not leaning: on the weak 'Teed of Governor Blease with any expectation of seeing our taxes reduced, because he has got to have the proper Legislature and Senate to do the people any good whatever, I would like to discuss the State - House scandal and see who is tc flBoe, whether the Governor of the Su2e or the General Assembly. 1 believe if properly threshed out the Governor would be vindicated. 1 don't want to be put on record as being a Bleaseite, but I think it just to give every one credit for theii just deeds. I hope your readers understand my position in the matter. , W S C. ?^[ard from Road Engineer Eaddy Editor County Record: ? I am glad to note tnat our nunor able delegation has succeeded in re pairing our road law to the extern of just such elasticity as under gooc business judgment your count} board and Engineer can operate upor \ri 'a > % ? ' ip&dl, ,,r ,.?k t me vtEu&gc-tfo. H ^r/ZATi-i &y>ys''s I strictly business principles in conb structing our roads and bridges. * This has been hoped for by a great | proportion of business men of our * county,and I feel sure that excellent results u ill fohow this timely, model chancre. If the bill was passed as it was! framed, we mav now divide our' j county into sections of convenient I sizes, coupling enough territory to^ gether to purchase for it the proper: and requisite equipment, teams, machines and tools for road and bridge . repair. s Then, under a scale of fees and ' values, approved by our auditing II board, a foreman is placed in charge " with a squad of hands to do work in | * his respective section under instrucs tions of the Road Engineer continu-! 1 j ally, as long as may be required. 1 ? Now, Mr Editor, don't you see j ? that this plan will systematize the operations in many ways, some of which could be mentioned, viz: The; ? Engineer will have to teach only, 3 several men under service how to 5 build roads, instead of several hun-i dredstas under the old plan (ofoverf seers for every few miles) working 5 only several days each year without ? any equipment. Indeed, you can't teach a man how to build road in so t s.iort a time, even if it were possi1 ble to be with him for the entire i i time of such short service. Again, this new law will enable . the county to have a force in each . section which may be accessible in case of emergency to relieve without i much delay any condition that may F arise in any section. ? In short, some well-trained road ; ?| man cap be always "right on the j Ijjob," for road or bridge work.! r 1 Now will you come, one and all, and j ?j lend yourselves together to help1 I mnr nflmns snooppH in this noble : 5 work? For good roads mean better schools, better homes, better church. es and better people, and in order J | to fret these results we need a live i "Good Roads Association," first as to . county, then as to township or sec? tional sub-organizations. This is urg; ently necessary, and I am requested r to beg that the president of the so ciety hitherto established would call j ; a mass meeting soon for subordinate ' work. This paramount road uroblem can? not be consistently solved without > co-operation, except by bonds t which , can most assuredly be avoided in > that way. I say this because the in-! ) terest has at last seized itself upon ? all reasonable citizens and the> are ; going to have roads! Their free > supplement of over three thousand [ dollars' worth last year convinces ; me. May God bless our Williams: burg Good Roads Association! Resneetfullv. J Jno M Eaddy, Road Engineer.

And this desecratior is permitted on the main street oi the town, where many pass and repass daily, and almost on the spot where grew the historic pine which gave the place its name! Two or three years ago there was agate and even then the writer has found cows put inside for grazing. Now the gate is down and nearly all of it gone, presumably to warm up the Afro-American during the recent cold weather. Likewise some of the fencing has followed the gate and more will go. The writer feels a deep interest in the matter because he has a grave in the enclosure which he wants always kept green. He does not know if there is any committee or other body charged with the duty of caring for this cemetery. It seems hardly possible -? n x 1 i t xi i tnat mere is. cut ne uoes Know mat once this matter is brought to the proper attention of the Christian men and women of this God-fearing community, funds will be found sufficient to enclose the grave-yard with a substantial wire fence and gate. This correspondent v. ill gladly give two dollars to start such a monument and aid in any other way that he can. By next Memorial day the work should be complete. Sc would we remove a civic reproach from our town, and pay respectful homage to the memory of those who have gone before. R J Kirk.
