E. H. AULL. EDITOR. Entered at the Postoffice at New krry. S. C., as 2nd class matter. FId . .uly 5. 19()7. AUGUSTA, EDGEFIELD, NEW BERRY. We publish in another column aa interesting interview with General M. C. Butler on the trolley line ques tion. The people of Edgefield C. H. nay not approve, as he states, his Augusta end of the proposition. There seems to be much aiid oi polE0 4 tion to a line frtmi here to A ta but that is a ailer ior 1he 1< ::e themselves t, settle. Iis prposition as to an outlet, toward Newberry a,n.d Greenwood meets their approval. We need and ml. have a northen out let, that vill relieve the situation as nothing else will do. and will secure for us all possible transportation fa cilities.-Edgefield News. Gen. Butler is entirely correct that the road should come to Ne%.erry and touch the Seaboard at Whitmire and should go from Edgefield on to Augusta. The reason you are bot tled row is you 're the terminus of a little branch line. Get busy and touch the Coast Line and Southern at Newberry and the Seaboard at Whitmire. Concentrate your energies on one proposition. The people who pay out their good money for road and general taxes are entitled to better value for it. They are entitled to have the public high ways at least given; proper drainage, so that in good weather they will be easily passable and without unneces sary wear ad tear on rolling stock and animals.-Spartanburg Journal. This is very true but we will never have roads in this country under our present system and methods, and the practical question which confronts us is whetre or not we are just yet in pos ition to undertake the matter on that scale which will give us good and per, manent roads. We are satisfied that we are and that the sooner we begioI the better and once the woik is be gun and some roads are properly made there will be little difficulty in extending the work. We had under stood that Spartanburg county pro posed to re.ise -$200,000 for road building. If it does and then the mon ey is properly expended and the roads .hey should be it will not be long 'before there will be demand for more and soon the whole county will have a net work of good high ways. The trouble in most places is we do not go at the buildieng of roads as we should and they soon wash away. They should be properly grad ed and then kept in repair which will cost but little. FORGIVEN. The Newberry Herald and News very kindly overlooks the supposed ignorance of The News, on .account of its yonth, in supposedly not knowing that a charter for a rail or trolley line had been granted from Whitmire to Augsta, via Edgefield. The News admits its youth, but enters a de mure as to the specific ignorance charged. We are not seeking to bor row charters that might not carry us~ where we desire to go. We might want to go to Greenwood as it will see by reading the News this week, but we do not want the old charter to that point. The Herald and News is old and we cannot excuse it on that account: but, The News is of a very friendly, neighborly and forgiving nature, and* forgives it on the ground that it was not familiar with the facts in the case. It can learn from this issue of' The News that years ago, a line was actually partially graded from Au gusta via Edgefield to within a short distance of Newberry. There was an old charter for that road too. If The Herald and News will read The News, we will keep it- posted.-defield News. It is very kind of you to forgive us. Of course there is no compul sion to use the present charter but we thought you wanted the road and we wanted to help you get it the easiest aind quickest way. If that is what you want the best plan, if you will pardon a suggestion, is to centralize your efforts on one point and build. one road. Of course if Greenwood is what you want, why then go to Greenwood. If Newberry vda $aluda on to Whitmire and Uihon is what you want why then get busy on that proposition. The line was graded right into the city of Newberry but that road is nowv in the hands of the Southern and under an act of the legisla.ture they have several y-ears yet in which to b>uild it, and it cannot be had nitil that time expires. It was rather silly le-:islation lUt at was*i done. The Her aId and News may not be familiar with the Iel, but we do k1iw If youa i-n'd t build a Ioad vou must get lusv and do somethlin and it may not be well to be flirting with too r many different propositions. b ON CREATING AN INTEREST.

In its issue of last Saturday, it published, under glaring headlines, something concerning the senatorial hopes and fears of Hemphill, of Char leston, and attributed this public ex- A position of his boom to the editor of The Evening Post. It is true that the editor of this paper is bearing the I burden. of his esteemed contempor ary's candidacy, with such assista.nee as he can hire by the day-nobody seems ever willing to engage for a longer period than twenty-four hours -but he realizes, as no other can rea lize, that with such an entry as he is backing the most careful grooming is necessary before any public trial is made of his going ability. The sil ver-mounted harness is ready, the rub ber tired buggy with the red wheels is there-all except the shafts, which have been sent out for repair-but the time is not yet for hitching up the candidate. That was tried before with disastrous effects, and his man aer is determined that :no more chances shall be taken. He is being trained now in a brake, and the editor of The Evening Post would never have trotted him out before the mul-i titudes assembled in Norfolk for the celebration of Carolina Day. The Landmark's reporter must have been stuffed by one of the comn missioners to the Jamestown exposi Ition.-Charleston Post. We understood that this senatorial boom was launched by the editor of the Post, the mayor of Charleston and the speaker of the house of rep resentatives while they were in Nor- a folk last week and we are sure we so read it in several papers. Now here n comes the editor of the Post talking about the blundering of some one. n W are surprised. True we heard at the press association meeting at the n Isle of Palms something of this race and we were gently reminded that no n newspaper man shou.ld aspire to any office except it were t-he United States senatorship. After all this and the '~ bright stories which we received from Norfolk we are surprised to see the n< Post say "the time is not yet for hitching up the candidate.'' You n< should not be bashful or backward. You cannot win even the senatorial n ace in that way. Get busy and let ev erythig be ready for the running. BTTER SERVICE WANTED. - There is sugicient through travel >ieteen Greenville and Columbia anrd .harleston over the Atlantic Coast Line to warrant the handling of a nc )arlor car on the through trains. The News fells sure it is voicing the de- ne sire of the traveling public in asking for this accommodation. It is a long gi tiresome trip from Cahrleston to Greenville. and( vice versa, and we be ieve that the inauguration of a chair car over the line would be liberally supported, particularly in the sum- n ne months. In addistion to the heat nbunteredl on the trip going~ in eith- n er direction, on account of the time of day the trip between here and Co- nc umbia is one of the dirtiest in: the Enited States. By the time the trains n1( get to their destinations the coaches are not fit to ride in on account of the 3 dust and cinders. Travelers between stations can make out all rigys but 5 the railroad should provide better ae omodation for people who travel through. This is a matter that should be tak en up all along the line from Green- $1 ville to Charleston, and The News is glad to start the ball rollina-. The ac commodations are not satisfactory for. the amo(unt ot traiveling thaUt is dn over the li ne and the public has a riit to fee! liht theyV are( not ncting what they deserve. Let the movement rush.d in orer that it may be eIr un- umn:er'i i- over. toe as a i I ce f :I, Iiihe S (t' the Rail )ad WmuiSsin is invoked in this ehalf.-Greenville New-. The Herald and News begs to add s most hearty endorsement to this meestion of the News. We have of 1 Wond d why1 the Coast Lin", h.S le ht ween Clumbia a1d Green ille and if you come from Cabrles n you are well worn out by the Ine you reach the end of your jour ev.
