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

June 1st there were 729,407 Union
soldiers and widows of the civil war
drawing pensions to the amount of
$163,377. What will it be if we get
in the European war? G. T. G.

As though it had a limit;
There's not a place on earth or

There's not a task to manhood given

There's not a whispered yes or no
There's not a life or birth
That has a feather's weight of wort!
Without a woman in it."
