A TRIP TO SALUDA. A Prosperous Section of South Carolina Along the Way-The Telephone Situation. A representative of The Herald and News accompanied the editor on a drive from Newberry to Saluda and return on Friday of last week. It is desired here to make a few comments upon the prosperity which was in evidence along the route and on sonie other matters of general Interest.to the people of the two counties. Newberry %vas left at 6.30 o'clock on Friday morning. The route taken lay via the steel bridge. The road from Newberry to the steel bridge is in fairly good condition, as it u8ually is at this season of the year. This road was recently worked from Newberry to Bush river with the good roads nachinery and several very bad places were patched up. At present, as stated, the road is in fairly good condition, but as soon as the had weather and hard rains of winter come there is nothing to prevent it from becoin ing in the same terrible condition in which it was (luring 4ast winter. The road needs to be graded and macadamized in places. Parts of the road, as is the case with every other road in the county, could be put in excellent condition by mixing clay with the sandy part and sand with the clay. Gravel for ma cadamizing abounds along the road, the sand and clay are there waiting to be mixed, the county has the most modern machinery for grading and doing the other work, and the whole road could be put in the best condition at not very great cost. The small bridges across ditches and small streams are in bad condi tion, and it is simply an accident when a horse manages to cross one of these bridges without breaking a leg. There is hardly a small bridge between Newberry and Saluda court house which has not a broken plank or a bad hole. These places could be fixed at small cost and this work should be done at once. Every one cf these holes in bridges could be repaired at less cost probably than would result from one lawsuit against the county on account of an accident to stock Otie other matter in regard to the road :Tihe 'whold road should be widened. There are few points in the whole twett-four uiziles where two( bLiggies can pass without great inconvenience. On a highway as freq uently used as t his road,* this amounts to a great loss of time and serious m1convemceiCIC. This road is one of tihe most im portanit and one of the most fre qunently used roads in the two Counties. It is the direct route from Newberry to Saluda, and is of a great deal more importance to Newvberry than to Saluda on ac count of the fact that most of New berry's Saluda trade comes this way, and when the roadl is iln had condition, as it must be during the conting winter if it is not worked at once, Newberry suffers accord ingly. Mr. M. A. Colemnan's home, in Saluda county, twelve miles froni i N~ewberry, was rzached at 8 o'clock, aind Mrs. Coleman's generous hos-r pitality was enjoyedl. Mr. Cole- a man has several of the best planta-a tions in this section of the country.. His residence is a mnodIern home, his crops are fine, and lie lives the " life of the prosperous country gen g tleman, the happiest life in allr the wvorld. In fact, that whole see- I tion of country, from the steel bridge to D)enny's, a distance of b nine miles, is a modern farming section, and evidlences of prosperity n may be seen all along the road,. ti The homes are modern and cm- I fortable, the yards ara neatly kept, b) tihe crops nr ond, and in every P NoOnse Re8 sell us either in New about, and we want! stock of goods that v We-intend. to do our Six Bargain Days a m See Our I SHOES.

A head was thrust out of the open window andl a female voice demanded: '"Now, who is there?'' "Madam,'' replied the officer, -i Wmn. Dockey at home?"' ''No, sir, and I don't expect him until daylight!'' snapped the woman, and at the same moment a bowlful of water descended on the officer's head and half-drowned him. ''Well,'' said the man on the grass, as the dripping officer cal" up, "'you see how it is, d:>n't you. I'm Dockey. That's Mrs Dockey.'' "I think I see," remarked the officer. 'You can remain where you are." Better Than Pills. The question has been asked-In what w.ay are Chamberlain's Stomach and Liver Tablets superior to the ordinary cathartic and liver pills? Our answer is-They are easier and more pleasant to take alnd their effect is so gentle and so agreeable that one hardly realizes that it is produced by a medicine. Then they not only move the bowels but improve the app)etite andl aid the digestion. For sale at 25 cents per bottle by W. E. Pelham & Son, New berry, S.C., andl Prosperity Drug Co.,
