Oakland, Feb. 16.?Some work is
new being done on the farm in the
way of piougmng up terraces* put.
ting stalks and shrubbing back the
hedges, and had it continued dry
many ploughs would soon have been
turning the soil. Rain has checked
garden work again for several days.
Some few gardens have already been
ploughed but the ground was rateh
wet.
The much talked of bad roads,
which has prevailed throughout everysection
of the county for the past
two months, and which has furnished
a mouthpiece for half the people XA
harp on, has been the cause of the
campaign which is now on foot t<?
raise funds to establish permanent
roads on the main highways of the
county. This partial road building
which will benefit only the minority
of the people is not likely to meet
with much favor or support ffom
those who are not living on the hotels
to be built. Every voter of tJrilon
county should realize just what condition
our county is now in (Att&ncially)
before imposing greater responsibilities
upon her. The pfMfeflt
times are very squally to undertake
such a proposition, as it is to be determined
by the voters of this county
on April 6th. We must remflthbftr
that our $75,000 dollar Courthouse
indebtedness is still to be paid and
if I am not mistaken, the county is

biehind with about $18,000 dollars on ii
every school district in the county is f;
now paying from three to six mills It
taxes for the maintenance of better T
schools. Certainly there is no need b
of making slaves of people under
taxation. Every person, as a rule, It
loves to have the best that there is h
>to be had, but then there is a limit c
to all things. Some one has said ji
that we (meaning this generation) n
should build the roads and let the h
next generation help pay for them,
but this sounds like very poor logic E
to me. The next genaration will h
have just as much room for improve- d
Mhdnts =as we have, and more so, for
as time passes it calls for greater v
things. The road funds of this coun- v
try wotild keep our roads in much
better shape than they are now in I
if some road overseers and road v
patchers did not dig so lavishly into d
the funds to pay them .for the small
amount of work done on the road, o
if hiore people would do some R
Work .on the roads instead of so much '
grumbling about them, we would have h
bettot toads. There was some ex- b
cellent work pulled off on our road E
ia?t WMk wi'th a split log drag. It
smoothed the roads so completely _
that an automobile could make fast
firogress on them. Messrs C. G. o
tey, J. H. Black, Victor Smith and
myself did the work which cost the c
county not a cent.

Kelton, Feb. 15.?After a week of
>eautiful weather it is raining again
oday. A few farmers had started
heir plows but I fear their land was
?ot ready?too wet to plow.
Charlie Harris, an old time colored

ind was much respected by the white
aeople. He was a democrat and

heir influence will be missed among

them get a little education and it
makes fools of them. Uncle John
Garner, an old Confederate soldier
and veteran grave digger, superintended
digging the grave in respect
to Uncle Charlie's wishes several
/ears ago, that if he lived longest
he wanted him to do so.
Mrs. Claude Sims who lived just
across Pacolet river in Cherokee
county, died last Saturday, after
a short illness. Interment was at

Thad. L. Hames on the streets of
Jonesville, who are suffering wich

know how to sympathize with each
other. It was the first time I had
seen Mrs. Hames since her affliction
several months ago, and I was glad
to see her able to get out on the
streets again.
Mr. William Sims of Cross Key?,
attended the funeral of Mrs. Claude
Sims.
