Th-e Greenwood Journal is pleading
for just one good road in Greenwood
county and believes if one can be
built others will follow. We thought
that same thing for a long time an1
pleaded for one such road as an example.
We did get one mile of good
road built some years ago by or under
the direction of a government expert
and it was a beauty and remained
good for a long time. It was about
the time when automobiles first came
along and it was a very popular driveway
and the autoist loved to drive
his car over this mile. But we didn't
ret any more like it and now even
that one mile is full of holes and does

When you build good roads you
should dp like the rule is when they
issue bonds, provide a sinking fund,
not exactly a sinking fund, but some
meao for the maintenance of the
road. A good road will -not remain
a good road without constant atten
tkm, ve do not care how good it may
be "when it is built.
We have a road only seven miles
long between Newberry and Prosperity
and it has such a road bed that with
a little attention Tor maintenance It

could be made a good road all the

tried hard to get the people who U3e
the road between the two towns to
raise a fund for the regular dragging
of the road and it would be real economy
for them to put up the money,
but no one seems interested. A smai!
sum from those who ride for pleasure
would be a good investment in
the saving on the machines not io

driving over it, but they all with onei

going: to spend money for some one
else to get the benefit. In other
v-ords human nature in this day is so
constituted that it will not do good for
itself if it thinks that some one else
is going to be benefited.
But the Journal speaks a parable

Let us hope that the people wi'l

that is the reason he never gets ovor

Mayor Z. F. Wright was elected

association at the annual meeting
j in Charleston last week. The election
was held while the mayors were

Indian name, and we hope President
Wright will have a pretty good time
sailing at the head of the mayors over.

The association put the Right man in
the Wright place, and it is just as we
have said about Newberry being pick- j
ed for the head place in the State
organizations. Newberry is like Vir-j
ginia as the mother of presidents. We;
want to say something, so about the j
best we can do is to apprrpriate the!
remarks of the Columbia Record: j
"We congratulate the mayors' asso-j
