QUa WEEKLY IifIDLE. - Why is a dut qluickly managed? Because it takes only two .seconds t arrange it. THEsE weeps are for our inquisitiv friend, Young Josephus Lott. fle touched it to see if the wire w as liv( It was-but he is not. eOoenoy ejnow scarcely anything about th - Oolenyi valley, but things we have hear about it have created a most favorabit ,pkesilon on our mind. The 'popl of Oolenoy had a goo, school building and in some way or othe - Jt was destroyed -by fire. The citizen 4 ship of the valley did not sit down an lament their condition, but with tha g spirit that always means success thei - arose with determination so that thei children, whom God had given them t train for the very best citizenship, shouh o not be neglected; and before the ashe ,I of the old school building were hardl 0 cool the building of a new and bettei house began just q few feet from whero the other stood. The people of Oolenoy believe that t< give their children a chance to develoi their God-given powers is worth mor than land and money. - It will take mor< than the burning of a school building te keep such a community down. The Oolenoy valley is one of the mos beautiful sections of our county, with it broad valleys, towering mountains an< clear, crystal streams. And during sum mer the most delightful breezes sweel over the mountrins and valleys. Th bottom land is very fertile and produce abundant cro)s. We have a dream that only a shor while from now a beautiful up-to-dat< church house will adorn the hill over looking the valley, a pastor will settl< nearby, and large congregations wil come together every Sabbath to heal the word of God proclaimed by the mar of God called to preach the gospel. Prosperous farmers, educated citizens, i progressive church and a happy com munity with one of the very bestschool in the state, and Oolenoy valley wil blossom like the rose. Till- l)eol)ie of Transylvania county, N. C., who have been greatly interestet in a good automobile road across th< moun tains below them, should have theil road officials to get in touch with oui road officials and build a good road fron Birevard to Pickens. The Picken county officials are now working or plans for the building of a good road t< the North Carolina line and the Nortl Carolinians would probably like to ex tend it into their state. Such a roa would not only be a great ponvenienc< to our own people, but would cause i great amount of tourist travel to com( thru Pickens, and if summer tourist ever get acquainted with Picken they will insist upon spending a part o their summers here. Besides, it woul put us in closer touch with Wester North Carolina, which would be well fc t all. We are glad, indeed, that or n su)ervisor and commissioners have di h cided to build this road. As TlE days grow longer the cost !s living goes higher. a LEr's see-who is it that settles th liquor problem, the Columbia corr spondents or the legislature?-Sparta burg ,Journal. We were under the irl 0 p~ression that the peop~le of this stal n , settled it at the ballot box in Septen gber, 1915; but guess we were IznistaIge: It seems that every member of th legislature thinks it is his job to setti -this question. .

Shake, Judge! s Gaffney Ledger. 0 In charging the. grand jury of Spar tanburg county', .Judge Tr. J. Mauldin of ePickens took occasion to declare that the road qluestion conmes within the scope of the grand jury's duties He made the statement that more money is wasted under the present system of road-working than in any other dlepart ment of county affair's, but explained that he (lid not censure the road officials but did criticize the people for permit ting such a road system to remain in force. The judge hopes to see the time come when every county in the state - wvill get value received for every dollar - spent on road improvement. Not On Your Tintype! r' Gaffney Ledger'.
