The State of South Carolina has lost a worthy citizen in the death of Chas. A. Smith of Timmonsville. He passed away in Baltimore a few days ago. He served his State and his God with a fidelity not often,witnessed in this world. He was a man of sterling character and his life was one worthy of a man. ROAI) BOND ISSUE TUESDAY. The voters of Union county will cast their ballots for or against the issuing of bonds for good roads Tuesday. I have no hesitation in saying that my ballot will po for pood roads. T could not conscientiously vote apainst the measure. I want prom* roads, better than we have ever had, and I believe the bond issue affords the means for obtaining them. Many do not apree with me, and I have no condemnation for those who disagree with me. The question, as I see it, is: Are we willing to tax ourselves for the purpose of havinpr better roads? Are we willinpr to pay for pood roads? Somebody has to pay for every advancement, and if prood roads come, somebody will have to pay for them. I am willinpr to pay my part. I am willinpr to pay my part for the reason that I pret considerable use out of the roads?I am a user of the roads of Union county. I can save time journeyinpr over prood roads. It takes lonprer to make a journey over bad roads than it does over prood roads. Time is money. It costs less to journey ovfr a prood road than it does over a bad road, and a dims saved is a dime made. There is less wear and tear in usinp a pood road than in usinp a bad road. Moreover, do not see in the bond issue anv fearful injustice to the generation unborn, as many profess to do. It seems to me the coming erenera^ion rr - Is to get more service out o'P'fffe*good roads than I may hope to get out of them, and for that reason, it seems but just that they should pay for the roads. Then, again, I am not afraid of the committee appointed to carry out the plans in the road building. They are good, sensible business men, our neighbors, all of them. I do not see how we could ever expect to get any better committee, no matter who appointed it. For these and many other reasons, I expect to cast my ballot for good roads. If the bond issue goes through, it will be to me a pleasing thing. If it killed, I do not expect to shed a single tear. I have long since found out that matters such as the bond issue is no life and death case, and it is nothing worthy of "throwing a fit" about. BUFFALO Buffalo, April 4.?A great revival is now in progress at the Baptist church, started on Sunday, March 2I>, and interest continues to increase at every service. Rev. Mr. Adams of North Carolina is doing the preaching. He is a Baptist minister of wide influence and vital leadership in his groat denomination, lie is a scholar of wide attainments and a preacher of fresh, original thought and of rare eloquence. There was a great spiritual awakening at last Sunday's services, the pastors of the other churches cancelled their appointments and all denominations worshipped together. The church is being filled at each service, every available seat and standing room is being occupied. It can not be learned now when the meeting will close. Interest is growing and many souls are being saved. The Ladies' Aid society at this place is doing a grand work, and this noble band of Christian women are to be commended for the many charitable acts and kind deeds which they are doing. Under the competent leadership of Mrs. P. C. Hundley the society gave a box supper at the mill office Saturday night which was thoroughly enjoyed, the proceeds amounting to - I x O 1 C% AA auouL I)r.

OAKLAND Oakland, April 4.?The rain whidh | fell yesterday was needed very much ' on the prain crops and pardenh and , this morninp everythinp seems to be , very much refreshed. Some land had already potten too hard to ploupb hut , now that it has rained practically all farm work will be carried on with all , ease. There is more land now ready for plantinp than I have ever seen at ( this date in April. A preat deal ot corn has been planted and within the next few days the preater part of up-land corn will he planter. Some few farmers have their whole farm , ready for the seed and of course this should be proof enouph that there is no increase in the cotton acreape this year. The povernment advises the farmer to plant more corn this year ; than ever before and now that some of them are about to have som > leisure time it will be the preatest opportunity ever to increase the acreape for corn. If war conditions doesn't improve to some extent within the nert . few weeks there is a likelihood of outown country consuminp her own food products without erportinp any of it to foreipn nati'ns. Althouph the advice piven is not consistent with the actions taken. They want more food . products raised hut still they allow it to he shipped away every day, which causes a scarcity here. Considering the large number of horses and mules that are shipped into this county every spring it seems that . it would soon become overstocked . with work animals, hut these figures will show what becomes of them. Since Christmas and in a scope of two miles square five horses and mules have died. A few days ago Mr. J. E. Cault lost his driving pony. It was sick hut a few hours. Mrs. N. 1>. Littlejohn and Miss Susie Black of Spartanburg returned , home today after spending a few days here with their parents, Mr. and Mrs. W. A. E. Black. Messrs. Sidney Howell and Paul Skelton of Union were visiting friends and relatives here last Sunday. Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Parr had as their guest for the week-end Miss I.ouise Cault of Kelton. Mr. and Mrs. C. S. Ivey of the Brown's Creek section spent the weekend with Mr. and Mrs. C. G. Ivey. Neb. TRACKERS' EXAMINATION. The spring examination for teachers will lie held at the courthouse Friday, May 1016.
