NATIONAL GOOD ROADS MEETING
The good roads enthusiasts of Athens should re
joice that the national good roads conference is to
be held at Greenville, S. C., which is only a few
hours’ drive from this city. It will present a splendid
opportunity for getting the latest dope op. road con
struction as well as everything else pertaining to the
subject of good roads. A splendid program has been
arranged cbvering three days and tho proceedings
promise to be most interesting, not only to partici
pants, but to onlookers who take an interest in public
affairs.
In conjunction with the conference there will be
a national road show which will be of even greater
interest to road builders and others. The conference
is to be held under the auspices of the Bankhead Na
tional Highway Association and the United States
Good Roads 'Association. Director General Thomas
H. McDonald, of the Federal Roads Bureau, has
written to the head of the conference that government
’. ... engineers' and experts will be on hand to demonstrate
* and explain the government exhibit, consisting of
models of bridges and roads and iiluminnted trans
parencies of Federal and forest service roads, to-
. gethcr with views of different t.Vpes of highways un-
; der construction.
i!. . “Three Windows of a Road,” in which are shown
: | three views of the services that highways afford to
rural communities and to cities, will be exhibited.
This constitutes the centerpiece of the government s
' road show. North Carolina, which is the leading
. state of the south in highway construction and the
leading state of the union with the possible exception
V. of California, will have an exhibit of its own in addt-
j >' tion to which there will be other state exhibits. It is
,’v also expected that Georgia, South Carolina and Ala
bama particularly will have exhibits.

Dr. A. R. Adams, pastor of
tho Second Christian church,
recently received the following
fiuestion which was placed i:t

tibule of the church: “Would
you practice tho scriptural In

cheek also if some one should
slap you on the right cheek?”
After reading the question
from the pulipt the minister
answered it as follows: “I
don’t know, but I would not

SILK STOCKINGS “CHEAP”
It is an old saying that you cannot get “something
for nothing.”
Several Hartwell women bought some fine silk
“ stockings from an agent who was making a house-to-
house canvass. The agent praised his wares. His
j goods were as fine as those sold by Hartwell mer-
- chants, he claimed. Despite that he was selling
them much cheaper than Hartwell merdhants sold
• them.' .
The Hartwell women believed the agent. They
■ bought many pairs of silk hosiery from him. The
stockings have never arrived, although the agent vis
ited the city of Hartwell several weeks ago. They
paid cash for the hosiery, too. <
A few days ago another Hartwell woman bought
■ a bolt of silk cloth for $6. “It is easily worth $20,”
!' ^declared' the 'agent. Perhaps it was. The cash was
'■paid him and when the Hartwell woman unwrapped
,’her package she found a bolt of cotton cloth.
Luckily, she rcported'thc swindle in time for the of
ficers to arrest the man.
Perhaps people will realize some day that strang-
. ere who try to give them “bargains” do not always
*' *come across with the goods. It is the same old story
bf buying a half interest in Brooklyn bridge or Man-
1 hattan Island. Clever crooks do not stick to the
I same old gag. They find something new. If they
cannot sell gold bricks they will sell silk stockings
* for cash and never send the stockings to the pur-
l - *-'chaser.

that county before the war, being
a Northerner by birth, and taught
a school there.,While a pedagogue
he read law and was^admltted to

those days, practicing before tho
