standard bearer of the demacracy in
the Tenth Congressional District,”
and was here to discuss
and explain the N a t i o n al
issues. Mr. Breese paid a compli

in the audience, “I’m glad to see so
many ladies present/’ he said, “many
of them are sisters, wives, and moth
ers of ex-soldlers, who will be given
the opportunity of hearing what Mr.
Weaver has to say on the Bonus, and
the League of Nations.”
“Mr. Weaver can prove what he
says to-night,” Mr. Breese stated, “by
records of Congress in the United
States.”
Mr. Weaver announced himself as
one of the men who upheld
Woodrow Wilson in the League of
Nations. Later he paid an impres
sive tribute to the ex-president, touch
ing upon his present appearance, and
ill health, declaring him to be “one of
the casualties of the war.”
Since his election, Mr. Weaver sai |
he had tried to be fair to Republicans,

swam in these waters. Indeed one
hears that in Juno the fish come up
the rivers in such vast multitudes that
they faii’ly phoulder each other ,Qut
on the ba’iks. It seems that the sal

just v.here no one knows, to return

was born—four years later to spacon.

and had callcd attention to the people i
that they are bein^ constructed with-'
out 9>ne cent of direct taxation, in

Agreements for financing the con-
s^ructio '. of the hi;;hway fro . Gr<
ville to thii i<^orth Carolina lin
will connect this city with Brevard
N. C., have been completed and the
state highway commission requested
to advertise for bids on the contract,
it was announced yesterday by Jos
eph R. Bryson, secretary to the Green
ville county delegation. It is expect
ed that this request will be complied
with by the highway conimission at
once and ^he contract for the moun
tain road awarded within a short
time. .
The state highway department was
requested by wire Monday to adver
tise for bids on that day when assur
ance was given the body that the ne
cessary amount necessary to cover
the cost of building had been secur
ed. This decision of delegation to
procced with the work, hov/ever, was
not made public until every detail
was completed at a special meeting
of the delegation yesterday.
Caesar’: Head Route
Although nsatiy three miles longer
than th:> Jones Gap route, the Cac-
j srr’s Head route has been definitely
j selecid r.s the route for the moui'.t.iii’
I road, It was announced to the dele
gation by the state highway depr.i-t-
rncnt. This route was chosen bccau-c
estimates showed that it cost appro::I-
mately 060,000 less to build a road
by Caesar’s Head and because the
grade required for a highway bui t
v/ith the help of the federal govern
ment could not be found on the Jonc^
Gap road. While estimates shov/ that
approximately $500 a year v/ould be
spent on each of the three additional
miles in maintenance, the interest on
■necessary additional bonds to con
struct the road over the shorter route
would cxcced this amount materially,
it was pcinced out.
The mountain highway built by
Caesar's Hf*ad will turn to the left
about a mile above Cleveland, going
by Dalton’s Gap and Lawton’s lake,
joining the Jones Gap road near the
North Carolina line. An excellent
grade can be given the rHsad along
this route and rapid and delightful
travel made possible, engineers said.
A.ccord:ng to present plans, the road
v/ill pass thi'ough a section which af
fords unsurpassable scenery aiid give
ready access to the summ'er camping
gi'ounds at Caesar’.s. Head.

(By T. C. Hendersol!)
The communily fair held at Quebec
school house on wucsday of last week
was a success beyond the expectations
of the most optimistic. One of the
visitors who had attended a large
number of fairs wis heard to remark
ha<^ this one was thp best corfimunity
fair he had ever se^n. Prizes wers
offered and won on ^most every con
ceivable farm product, garden veget
able, pantry supply, domestic art,
ive stock and babies.
Some of the women 'of this section
seem to think that those who prepared
the premium list were npt quite fair,
as they offered prizes for the best
twin lambs and the best twin calves
but nothing for the best twin babies
of which there are a considerable
number in this section.
We were glad to see the candidates
for the various county offices circula
ting among us on “Fair Day”, giving
special attention to the women and
cordially shaking hands with all. We
hope that such an ideal friendly and
'ocial spirit will prove to be a per
manency and not vanish with the van
ishing twilight of election day.
There is to be an “all day singing
vith dinner on the grounds” at Oak
Grove Baptist church next Sunday.
A choir from Pickens, S. C., is expect
ed to be present to render special
music for the occasion. Everybody
is invited to come and join in the
singing.
M PRAYER CORNER
(By Rev. C. D. Chapman)
“FOR TEACHERS”
Teachers have a work that makes
life worth living, everyday, and all
y. Except the mother and the
minister, no one can so entor into -
other’s lives as life giver and light
bringer as the teacher can; others
give help, but she can give self heVp.
The rich can give money, the doctoi
can give health, the teacher can give
strength of charactcr”. How much
then she needs our prayers and her
own!
A PRAYER:
Our Father, w’e bless Thee for the
self denial and devotion of Thy ser
vants, who in our schools,, are mak
ing the generation that is to be. Grant
that we may uphold them by our in
terest, and prayers, and good will.
Sustain them in all their labour of
love, in hours of despondency cheei"
them, in hours of T,?earineoo bo pre
sent with them renewing strenglh.
G’orify their effort with a sense of
Thy presence. Fill thqm with a con
sciousness of the soleijfin issues of
their calling. May they give to those
committed to their charge, not their
time and talent only but themselves
as well.
Grant them to r^.nember that they
are forming human souls whose hopes
and fears, faiths and doubts reach
out beyond the passing years. Keep
them mindful of that hour v«?hen the
Master of masters will appear, Chri.st
the Lord of Angels and of men, we
pray in His name. Amen. C. D. C.
