Sanford Express. t Had Lee county good roads a desirable class of peo ple would 'come in, buy up all available land and help de velop and build up the county. In some sections of Lee county one can travel for miles and hardly see a house. This land should be turned into good farms. This can be done by building good roads through it. The real estate owner should favor good roads because they would en hance the value of his property. The farmer should favor them because they will make it easier for him to cultivate his crop and market his produce. The merchant and busi ness man should favor good roads because they will "bring them more business. The professional man should favor good roads, because if the community is prosperous he will stand a better chance in the community. The labor ing man should favor good roads because they mean more jobs and better wages. We don't know of a class of citi zens that good roads' would not benefit The quickest and most effective way to get good roads is by bonds. When you have an opportunity vote for bonds for good roads and help make your county second to none in the State. r A FHOTOGRAPH.

' V ' Let's Beg No Crumbs. The Progressive Farmer. . Speaking as the son of a Confed erate soldier, the writer is sorry to see Senator John Sharp Williams who is indeed fast winning recognition as about the strongest man in either branch of Congress falling into the error of asking a federal appropria ation for a Confederate monument. We are sorry, too, to hear any talk of asking Federal pensions for Confederate soldiers. It has been fifty years now since Sumter, and through all this time the South has kept its self-respect, asking no favors and wishing none. Let it be to the end. There is a fine passage in Brown's -'Lower South in American History" in praise of the Southerners who, -"masters so long, were masterful to the last;" who never fell a whimpering in the hour of defeat, but were of the mettle of the man who "goes on with the strong hand, - and - if he fights his fight to a finish, can turn his face to the wall and die and give no sign." We should! cherish no bitterness, . but we should keep our pride. It would be a tragic and pitiful anti-climax to one of the world's mightiest dramas, if the South, after its proud record of a full half century, should now come a-whining for a few miserable crumbs from a pension-table foul with graft and fraud. If Federal pensions are ever to be given the few remaining Confederates, or Federal money used for Confederate monuments, let the North first make the offer. But for the sake of all our dead and all our past, let not the South humble itself at this late - day by begging Federal help to take care of the handful of heroes who once fought our battles. We stand an excellent chance of gaining public contempt by such a policy, and no chance of gaining anything else. Mr. L. H. Shuford presented the editor of The News with an English pomegranate on last Sat urday. Mr. Shuford stated that the crop was almost a failure this year, the tree containing only four or five.

The Supreme court will take formal action on his death Monday an d aajourn immediately as a ma. k of respeci.
