IClsewhcrc will be found a .very interesting letter from W. S. Rear don, in which ho asks some quite pertinent questions that will doubt less be answered by Mr. Shockley as soon as he has been able to ascer tain the facts that will warrant an intelligent reply. The public is en titled to know these things, and Mr. Shockley is entitled have his un pleasant situation explained for the enlightenment of tho public and to his own benefit, We confess that we know nothing more of the situation than we have given to Ute public as Mr. Shockley has stated his "tr?ala and tribulations" to us. As the well known Japanese school boy would put it. we, too. have hut been "ask ing for to know." Wo have not been able to understand, however, wh> Mr. Shockley, our 'Supervisor now should pay from bis road fuVds thc large indebtedness of some one else and then have tho vision of thc gaping doors of tho penitentiary unfolded before him as his certain reward if he should exceed the ap proprlation. The position is right, wt admit. Rut Mr. Shockley should have had his full appropriation foi roads loft untouched save for tlu nurnoso apnropriated. Maybe ?hi visi?n "vas pre'Jcutod late and io tin wrong m.ii., 'ii <. it seems, the. min is spilt; ami there seems nt. rom od} ai hand bill to send anotr.es pitchoi to the source of supply. As to Mr. Hearden's inquiry con corning the county sinking fund, wt presume that it is being preserved intact. There has for years been ;i custom in vogue of tho county au thorities borrowing from the Slate Sinking Fund Commission, in antic ipation of tho payment of taxes, and in order to pay cash for all expendi tures, an amount sufficient or sup posed to bo sulllcient to meet tho county's annual transactions. This year, for some reason, the loan was negotiated in New York, and when the funds were in hand, the debt to the State Sinking Fund Commission was paid, leaving tho Supervisor eui of ninds available for road purposes. That is the situation as we gather lt from Mr. Shockley. How the debt came to be ' hanging over" is quite another matter, and we are in no better position to inform the public than ?ire Mr. Reardon and Mr. Cook. Mr. Shockley is seeking to raise funds sufficient to carry out the orig inal road-working program planned by the General Assembly. We hope that ho will bo successful. We want to see some real work done by Mr. Shockley. We have seen a number of his "samples" in various sections of the county, and wo frankly say that, judging by his samples, we are more than anxious that the Oconee public shall hilve as much as possi ble of his work. The Highway Commission will not lake the Supervisor on its work un less he is thrown practically out of employment by lack of funds, wo feel Sure. They want his services applied where they were intended to be ap plied, just as we and evory other citizen want it applied. Hut if there be no funds, and if Shockley must go to Ibo penitentiary if he exceeds his appropriation, what thon? Kalling to raise thp necessary funds for road purposes, let us con sldcr carefully tho proposition foi Mr. shockley to co-operate with and work for the Highway Commission always, of course, with tho under standing that it is within the prov ince of the commission to refuse tc take up the proposition. Hut after all tho I wo bodies the Highway Com mission and tho Supervisor and hit board-aro acting in tho Interest ol the samo peoplo -tho public of Ceo noo. If tho Suporvisor has no funds he cannot work to a'dvantago on thc roads of tho county, bocause neces sary "overhead expenses" must ht mot. Tho Highway Commission ha* funds nt its disposal, and If thoy can expend some of thoso funds to advan tage to the funds In their hands and at no loss to tho county Itself, would it not bo to tho advantage of both bodies to thus co-oporato? It ls at loast a question that may well bo carefully considorod. Hut we think it should bo considered only in the event that tho public falls in Its ef forts to untie t%j hands of Super visor Shockley. Whatever is dono in the promises, it is a good timo for tho general pub lic to begin to take an active interest In tho conduct of Its affairs. We need to keep cursives hotter informed. A MAXY-SIDF.D QUESTION. The road and finance question In Oconee seems to bo one of many sides and many angles. Fix-Super visor Foster writes a vory interest ing statement, which appears else where In this issue. Mo opens with tho statement that there are "titree sides to every question-the inside,, the outside and the right side." Ile closes with the statement that ho has given facts and ligures from tho "other side." so we lind that there aro already four sides to it. We are glad Mr. Foster has made his statement. It will clarify tho sit uation to some extent. What wo have written on the subject, and what'Mr. Cook and Mr. Boar den have to say come as from persons clearly on the "outside" desiring informa tion from the "inside." Eventually we hope to get the whole situation in such form as that the public in general may bo in possession of the 'right side." That is the end at which we are aiming, and it is evi dently the aim of those gentlemen who have expressed themselves thus far. Tho county's finances and tho road si!nation in general are real, live questions. They may well be considered from all sides. If there is an Inside and an outside and an "other side," as well as a right side, there certainly must be a "wrong" side also. We have always heard that certain kinds of cloth can bo judged accurately only by careful examina tion of "the wrong sido" of tho cloth. Here the real intermingling of the warp and the woof ls displayed to tho best advantage of one interested in determining the facts regarding its composition. So we have at least five sides to view tho situation from. Let's look at it from all sides. PttKHEItVTi K<;t> NOW ; PALL. Vt.-- Should i so W ato? -ii;i,i ., und Only First Quality Fresh Eggs. (Clemson Bulletin.) Spring is the season of surplus eggs, and it is economy to store away an ample supply now for uso when eggs are scarce and more expensive. If a supply has not already been put away in water-glass th.,re is still time to do so during the remainder of April and in May. All that is nec essary Is a solution of water-glass or sodium silicate, which may be had at drug stores, one or more stone jars or galvanized iron vessels and ti supply of fresh eggs. Direct ions. Boil and cool ten quarts of water and mix with ono quart of liquid water-glass. Pour this into the con tainer after sterilizing it with boll ing water. The container should he about half-full of the preservativo. The eleven quarts as prepared as above will, properly cover, say, 18 dozen eggs in a six-gallon jar or other vessel. The solution should cover the top layer of eggs two inches. It is not necessary to fill tho Jar with eggs at once, and fresh eggs may be added a few at a time. Cse only tho fresh, clean, unwashed eggs, prefer ably infertile ones. Washing removes tho natural protective coating over the fresh egg. Eggs with ordinary soiling may bo used, but very dirty ones should be discarded. Do not use cracked oggs. Keep the jar covered and stored in a cool place. A cloth soaked in water-glass and placed, while wot. over the top of the container, will j adhere strongly and make a good cover.
