After all has been said, the brute is but poorly concealed in the most of humanity. Gov. Manning will have no prize lighting in South Carolina, lie deserves the commendation of the good citizens throughout South Carolina. What good tiling, what helpful, wholesome influence could come from a pugilistic bout ? We are glad to note that Gov. Manning is making good his campaign pledge to see to the enforcement of the law. Of the largo number of employee? in the Excelsior Knitting Mills, not one of them voted against the bomi issue for permanent road building.. It is often said that the mill employees and the mill management are constantly opposed to each other. We have felt this to be more a figment in the brain of certain eonseiousless politicians than a fact that could be demonstrated. The case at the Knitting Mill is proof of the falsity oft repeated charge. Mr. Shepard Nicholson, by his uniform fair treatment, by his liberal and unselfish attitude towards the people in the employment of the Excelsior Mill has demonstrated that there may be, often is, the fullest confidence between the management and the operators in the mills. Mr. Nicholson, in the very beginning of the movement for good roads, took great interest in forwarding the movement. Contrary to the charge so often made by political tricksters, that the operatives and management could never see their interest in the same direction, Mr. Nicholson had with him every single vote cast by the employees at tinExcelsior Mill Tuesday. It speaks well for him and it speaks well for the operatives and employees. Why * , Un..l.l . I ... I . > Diiwum 111u11 nut, ih* i ins niutuiii rcspect, cooperation and good will? It would be more commonly seen if there wore less lying politicians who make it a business of going abort injecting false and misleading ideas into the heads of the operatives. The vote stood <?21 for the bond issue; iS-I4 against the bond issue?that was the way the election went Tuesday. A total vote of 1458 was cast, just about 50 percent of the voters expressing themselves at the polls. The vote was closer than many thought it would be. 1 am satisfied that it will be but a few years before the people of the county will make a decided forward move in the building of roads. One thing must be said, now that the voting js over: i no majority of our pooplo felt that the timo was not opportune. Thore is a depression, an uncertainty, a nameless fear that is haunting many of our people. The past year was one long to be rememhered. I felt, and still feel, that the best antidote to the depressing financial ills would be the movement for public improvements, and the consequent loosening of the money situation. Hut many could not take this view? hence the vote against the bond issue. Two years from now, perhaps one year from now, should there be less of war and less of uphoavel in all political matters, the issue would carry by a good majority. I talked with a great many, and became convinced that our people, panic-stricken as they are, feared to vote any sort of tax for any purpose upon themselves. So far as I can see this is the real situation. Of course there were quite a good many who opposed the road building upon some mon selfish and less reasonable ground But, the great majority of those wh< opposed it are men who are face tc face with a nameless dread. The} are asking "what will the year brin* forth." They see no clear sailing ahead of the ship. They are depressec disheartened and fearful; this con dition would today cause most ol them tQ turn down well nigh an} proposition that put on more taxes even when it seems a sure thin;; that it would pay in the long run I believe their fears have greatly ex aggerated the dangers. I believe th< bond issue would have made easj money in this county.

Two year from now such a movement as tha made Tuesday would carry hand down, provided general condition make decided improvement. J ONESVII LE Jonesville, April C>.?Good Frida; and Easter Sunday came too earl; this year, they did not wait until th winter was over and they got caugh in the snow. But Spring would b gloomy weather if we had nothinj else but Spring. The Methodist Sunday school ha< Easter service Sunday morning. Thi and choir platform rails were deco rated, the color scheme being white with white flowers. A beautiful pro gram was rendered by the small girl consisting of songs and shor speeches. Miss Frances Hicks wa very efficient at th" piano. The Ep worth League had a sueeial Easte service at six in the evening, with ai address by Prof. Henry A. Wise, o Columbia, while the pastor. Rev. W I>. .Justus, preached an Easter sermoi at night. The Presbyterians had beautifu Easter services in the morning. Th sun shone brightlv, but the dav wa cold. The election is proceeding toda; upon the issue of the county gooi roads bonds and before the setting o the sun the issue will be decided. Thi bond issue has been before the peopi since the adjournment of the legisla ture in February, and it has cause much comment and some controvers and a few spats in the county paper but it will soon be over and we wil all get together again. Prof. Sams, principal of the II ig school is sick at his home in Gaffne; and Dr. F. M. Ellerbe is filling hi place for him. Dr. W. O. Southard, who has beei quite sick for months, is feeling bet tor. He has served this communit; for near forty years as a faithfu physician and his practice extendei all over the county. Exposure, n doubt, broke down his strong con stitution. He and 1 came to thi place about the same time in 187f We all hope ho will be spared for t lose him, would indeed be a grea loss, not only to his family and rel ativcs, but to the entire community I am glad Joss Willard knockei Jack Johnson out. and a white ma is now champion, instead of a negrc I never knew of a Willard beini whipped in this county.

In selecting varieties of snap beans for planting, choose the stringless sorts. They produce abundantly and ? are much more desirable for serving on the table. The growing of vegetables for th<? local market offers profitable returns to the man who produces a good . product and places it on the market . in a neat and attractive form. I Givi the orchard a thorough plowing and fertilize it well if you wish it to do its best for you. Sow celery seed now for trans. planting in August. It is necessary to sow the seed early in order to get strong, stocky plants. Prepare the sc. (I bed thoroughly and keen it partly shaded with a lath or brush screen so that it will not dry out. Now is the time to lay plans for fall exhibitions of fruit and vegetables. Every county could make a , magnificent display of orchard ant. garden products at the county and state fairs if people would give attention to the matter during sum, mer. Such displays stimulate interest and may be strongly educational. y A garden of one-quarter to oneI half acre is sufficient for an average family and should produce enough * vegetables for the use throughout the entin year.
