HALF AND HALF.
Nearly everybody in the country
today is enjoying a rest from the
daily routine through which they
trudge practically every working day
in thp ve?r_ On account of some ad
vertising contracted for months ago
to appear in the issue of July 5, it
becomes necessary for us to see that
there is an issue of July 5 and that'
these advertisements appear in thai
issue. This is unfortunate both from
the fact that every one of our subscribers
is either fishing or picnicking
today and nobody cares much
what else is happening in the news
world so long as they are having a
good time today, and from the fact
that we would like to take the whole
day ourselves. But the best we can
do under the circumstances is to split ,
the difference and make it 50-50. We
are therefore issuing- locay .'jur
pages against the customary eight
and taking a half holiday. We hope
for all our friends just as pleasant 1
outing the whole day as we expect (
to have half the day. I

TRAFFIC COP DEMANDED
(
We stated sometime ago that a
/ traffic cop was needed at the crossing '
of Pickens street at Press and Ban- ;
ner Block. We had the need empha- .
sized early Saturday morning when (
no less distinguished citizen than Col. ,
Patrick Roche, of Cambridge Road, ^
came near being run over, and by a
Ford at that. , r
The city council is warned now ,
that the city is liable in damages for
neglect in the management of its
streets, rivery nour tms crossing goes
without said cop somebody's life is 1
being endangered and the city\ is
making itself liable for neavy dam- j
ages. In case anybody is run over we i
arc handy here to take the case'j
against the city, and will have King j
Li^k as our main witness.
Another thing is that pedestrians
should not be required to stand alll
day in order to get across this street!
at this point. P&clestrians are ., entitled
to the same consideration as au-.
fcoists, but as they cannot run over]
Mhe automobiles and the latter are
able to run over the pedestrians, the;
riders are taking an unfair advantage'
of the walkers. A traffic cop could]
cure this hv rpfmirinc tVinr
trian cross after each automobile,'
thereby securing equal rignts and the
equal protection of the laws for ail!
parties.
A word to the wisfe should still be!
sufficient.

GREENVILLE STREET.
I
I
A good deal has been said about
the street of quality since it was
I
paved. Even some pteople residing on
1
the street, who are not fully initial'
ed, think it is too narrow, while oth-1
e." persons, envious of the people who'
rr.ake up the elite of this street, have
been heard to call ii a lane.
I
We hnvp t.viefl t.n Irpcn t>ic>
reasons which actuated the city fath-'
e:s is building the street just as it
is built. It is a fact that some of the
older aristocrats on the street actu-i
ally appealed to the city fathers asking
that the street be made just the
width which it now is. It is not out
of place now that other streets have
been paved to give tiiese reasons. We1
did not give them before for the reason
that we knew all the people residing
on other streets would want
their streets paved just like Green
ville Street is paved, while the city
needed wide streets in some places,
as wide streets are necessary for the
. wagons, trucks and other caravans
of people in trade.
The first reason which actuated the
city council in the matter was a dei
nre to save the trees. By making the;
street its present width the paving
oeople were enabled to set the side^
walks back and thus save all the fine
#
trees on Greenville street. These!
trees are absolutely indispensable to!
the residents of Greenville street because
the people up that way are not
accustomed to the sun. They have
been in the shade so long that shade
is necessary for them, while the people
on most of the other streets are
so recently from the sun that they
do not need shade. Thev fee! more at
home in the sun, hence the trees on
other streets were cut down.
Another thing contributing to the
decision was a desire on the part of
the city council to make plans for
the other residents of the city to see
bow Greenville street people behave.
For that reason the plan is to
plant grass in the space between the
paved street and the sidewalks on
either side of the street, with all
kinds of fine flowers bordering thi?
grass, etc., with shrubbery and other
attractive plants, and with a bench
and a chair here and there along the
street. It is thought that this will en-j
able the people from Wardlaw street,1
for instance, in the afternoons when'
I
Greenville street is having a horse
show, to go up and take a seat on
one of these benches or in one of
these chairs, and to see just how!
people in society do, how they dress,
ar.d how they act. Nothing is so good
a teacher as an actual demonstration
I
of how a thing is done, and the city
pminril hplipves tViflt. the nportlp of
the town will be greatly educated by^
making this provision for the people
of other streets.
Now in modern towns, built and
inhabited by the new:y rich you will
f:nd wide streets, showy houses, red
wheeled automobiles, and other things
t \
to attract the attention of people of
lees refined tastes. But in old settled
places where the first settlers nuilt,
and where all the old aristocrats lived
when they first came to this counL
Al 1 1
Ily, Ulty jiau uaiivw saccu, auu mc
? I
bouses were unostentatious !n appearance,
and- such things were
bought as were elegant, but not likely
to attract too much attention.
These people believed in "quality"/
rather than in show in dress, and in
all other things. Now Greenville
street was built on this plan, it has
always been maintained on this plan,^
and the people who live on It are de-J
termined that it shall remain just as ;
it had always been?a street of ]

'li'lr. jrettinjr the best paint
vnado for the Southern
quality. Therefore, we were prepared
to get an injunction on the spot
if anybody tried to make our street
even an inch wider than it had a:v.*ays
been. We wanted no street for
a few of the vulgar rich to show off
their limousines on, nor a street for
people to build fine mansions for
show, because we have none of these j
people on Greenville street. We havei
an elegant set of professional and
literary men and women on Greenville
street, who build and have, and
want comforts and conveniences but
no gewgaw business.
These in brief are the reasons why
Greenville street is the width it now!
is, and the reasons why it will / al-J
ways remain just as It now Is.
These are also the reasons why the|
people on North Main, South Main,'
Wardlaw, and other streets hope1
some day to live on Greenville
Street. ?
