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. We hope th<
. shadow of the wing of the Supreme
Being may rest over this sorely be

?Hr C K Feagin, of the firm oi
Feagin & Marshall, is very ill at hi;
home in the Trio section. 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

&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.

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

" 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.!

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?

gate is down and nearly all of it
gone, presumably to warm up the

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

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
