May Improve Court
House Grounds.
Plans Submitted >jy Miss Delano Wil
son Would Make Real Attractive
Spot in County. War Mem
orial Under Consideration
In the regular monthly ses
sion of the comity commis
sioners held here Monday
plans were submitted hy Mi s
Delano Wilson, home dem
onstration agent, for the beau
tifying of the grounds sur
rounding die court house.
These plans have been care
fully prepared and incorpo
rate a cement curbing sur
rounding the grounds ana for
the planting of various kinds
of flowers and shrubbery,and
also for the building of ce
ment walks leading to the
three entrances. The old stab
les and jail will be torn down
in the near future, and an ef
fort is being made to begin
the work of improving the
grounds just as as soon piac
ticable.
A special plot in the plans
was reserved for C ivil am
World War memorials; and
right here we would like t<
suggest that in establish! H'
the memorials an especial tab
let should be engraved to .
commemorate the sacrifice of
James Edward Jethro, who
was killed in action with the
Thirtieth Division at the
time it penetrated the Hin
denburg line, which was con
sidered the strongest point cf :
resistance of the entire Ger
man defense system. Jethrc
was brought back here about
three years ago and reburied
at Holly Neck by a local
company of the National
Guard, Also the name of Na- <
than McAllister, one of the ,
finest young men ever raised
in the state, a son of Mr. and t
Mrs. J.T. McAllister, should 1
be placed on the tablet with
that of Jethro. Nathan died
while in training at Camp
Jackson, S. C., just a short 1
time before las outfit w..sjs
scheduled to sail for France.*
He did not die in actual com- ‘
bat, but he was doing his ut
most to equip himself with
sufficient knowledge of mod- ,
ern warfare to be of maximum I ■
service to his arm f the m-v
vice, and die i■ e
grim reaper cia mru .n be
fore he arrived at ihe front (
does not in any manner de- t
tract from the estet-m i n j
which he should be hdd n at.;
It is thought that the war
memorial will be erected by ,
public subscription And if
an effort is made to effect it
|n this manner we have en
ough faith in the people of
this count} to firmly believe
that a monument that will
reflect credit upon every in
• idual will be erectea as a
silent though perpetual tri- '
bute to the sacrifices of these ,
two young men who have
given their lives in the service
of their country. .
I .othing of a definite nature
was done bv the commission- *
-rs at this meeting, but the
project was taken under con- 1
^deration. !

Continuous Elect
ric Service
It w:;s anncunced a few day
ago that the Municipal Light and
ater Supply would on March
1st, inaugurate a continuous ser
vice of electric current. This ser
vice began Monday moaning and
is welcomed by users of electric
current in all parts of the town.
Mr. L. C. Willoughby, the su
perintendent, tells us that there
will be very few interruptions in
this service, if any at all. The
plant has just been equipped
with new boilers, engine genera
tor and the town has been re
wired with more substantial ma
terial
The ice plant, vdiich is a part
of this plant, is now being over
hauled and put in condition for
the summer rush by Mr. Dock
Stul bs, a recogn'zed expert me
chanic, and ii is thought that
this element of the plant will
be in keeping with the excellence
of the electric department.
