KELTON (Left over from last week) Kelton, March 1.?After a light 'Tain last night the sun i sshining this morning and we hope for another fair week. The farmers ur? getting busy now and if we have two or three weeks of good weather we will hardly know that we had a wet winter. Mr. Editor, I agree with you in thinking the best way out of the war tangle would be for all neutral nations to stop trading with and of those beligerent countries, and the president of the United States issue a proclamation to all shippers and travelers doing business in those warring countries to cease business and travel unless they do it at their own risk. There is no good, sound reasoning for our country to be involved in a great war simply for a few money loving people or a few pleasure seekers, who know the dan gers that they have to encounter and then if they lose some money or a few lives to call on Uncle Sam to protect them, and if we should get involved we might lose hundreds and thousands of lives of our best men and millions and billions of dollars, not counting the suffering of women and children?all simply to gratify mammon and seekers of pleasure. No, the cost would be too great. We are out of it and lets stay out. Let those warring nations fight it to a finish as we did in the fiO's; either by killing out or perishing out. We of the South know what war means; we are the heaviest losers from the effect of the great war, but we had rather lose dollars than precious lives. From what I can hear and learn it will be useless to order an election to vote on 11 bond iscne fnr freed roads in Union countv. According to Mr. Wapnon's statement in The Union Times last week, we had better work our roads bv contract tVnn thway we are working them and have no bond issue. Read his figures closely and you will agree with me Ho savs that the roads and bridges cost the county in 1914, $50 or oO dollars per mile, while the commission is to get only $10 or $12 dollars a mile. How can they do it for that and it cost $50 dollars last year? I need light on the system. I have long been convinced thai we would have better roads at a less cost n the contract system was in operation. Let the commission let out small or short contracts under bond and keen his road, and you bet your dollar that they would soon stop this trimming off the sides of the roads, letting the brush fall over in the side ditches and the first rain that falls chokes them up and the wator thrown out in the middle of tne road and washing great gullies. ?nd too, if the contract system was p^tr ticed, after big rains, the contraflH would get his shovel "and goon and clean out all obstructio;v*fiT the ditches. You know i'f the ditches are kept ooen the roads will be in a fair condition, except thi winter season, when all know it is impossible to have good roads unless we had a rock foundation. G. T. Gault was in Spartanburg last week. The health of the Ridge is fairly ?ood, but my health does not im prove mucn. The hulk of the cotton on the Ridge is sold and the monev applied to debts.
