SEMINOLE Mr. T. B. Rutledge was killed by a tree falling on him last Wednesday afternoon. The tree had blown down a year or two ago and had hung on the stump oy some splinters. He was walk ing under the log when it sud denly fell on his right shoulder, knocking him down and injuring him so severely that he died in about forty minutes. He was perfectly conscious until the last. He said he was ready to go but hated to leave his wife and five little children. Mr. Rutledge was (9 years old and has lived in this community all his life He was a member of the Baptisl church at this place for over 30 years. We had a killing in our commu nity last Thursday.

Our constable, P. M. Deberry, was on the lookout and was present when the arrest was made and helped to tie Er win.

P., has since issued a war rant on the affidavit of Cora Mil ler, an eye witness to the shoot ing. Your correspondent was in Summerville last Saturday. The work on the new court house seems to be progressing finely, an 1 guess will be completed inside of three or four months. Well, we have had a siege of rain and bad weather, but little work hias been done on the farms for three weeks, but this morn ing, the Ist day of March, sever al have gone to plowing though the ground is still heavy. We hope now for some pretty weath er. The weather hias been so bad that people have been delayed sowing their spring oats. On last Saturday the worst roads we found in traveling from Chattoo gaville to Summerville were along from this side south of Raccoon creek and between there and Sun merville. We saw two places that were very bad but could be fix ed with a few hands in one day so that they would be passable. But it seems as though some sec tions of country are waiting for the bond issue for road purposes or for Providence to work the roads or for something to happen or turn up. Now nothing will fix these bad places only just'honest labor. We have some such places down here in Seminole but not where the roads have been work ed last year. We have bad roads where they have been neglected and good roads where they have been worked. You See some peo ple and talk to them about the bad roads and they will tell you there is nobody to work, no hands on their section of road since they took the boys off. The rest are nearly too old and the conquences are some do not try to work the roads! We had one ovrseer in Seminole last year that graded his road and graveled it and that road is now in good snape with all the rain we have had, and he only had his propor tion of hands. If one overseer can take a bad section of road witn his proportion of hands and work it within the time allowed by law, four days to each road hand , ami then the portion of money allowed on said road, all overseers could do the same thing The way I think to do the work is to get men who will work and are interested as commissioners and overseers, men that will see that every day is put in good, honest labor and the money allow ed on the roads be appropriated justly and honestly earned by la bor before paying it out. If those things can be remedied our roads can be improved every year But if it is not done the roads will go down every year. So let each citizen have energy and pride enough to look after the public roads and every other pub lie affair and times will grow bet ter instead of worse. But if we sit idly by on the stool of do nothing and wait for somebody else to. come in and do our work for us our county will never be improved. G. A.
