They I are entitled have the public highways a| least uiven proper drainage, so that in uood weal her lltey will he easily passable and without unnecessary wear ad tear on rollim: stock and animals.?Spartanburg Journal. This is very true hut we will never have roads in this country under our present system ami methods, and the practical <|iiestiou which confronts us is whet re or not we aiejiist vet in position to undertake the mailer on thai scale w hich will vive us yood and permanent roads. We arc satisfied that we are and that 'ho sooner we hci*iti the better ami once the woik is begun and some roads are properly made there will be little difficulty in extending the work. We had understood that Spartanburg county proposed to raise $200,000 for road buildinir. If il does and then the money is properly expended and the roads ' cv should be il will not be long before there will be demand for more and soon the whole county will have a net work of good highways. 'llie trouble in most places is we do not no at the building of roads as we should and they soon wash away. They should lie properly graded and then kept iu repair which will cost but little. FORGIVEN. The Newht rry Herald and News very kindly overlooks the supposed iynorancc of The News, on account of its youth, in supposedly not knowing that a charter for a rail or trolley line had been grunted from Whitinire to Auusla. via Kd-jrlield. The News admits its youth, hut enters a demure as to ihe specific ignorance charged. We are not seeking to borrow charters that iniulil no! carry u^ where we desire logo. We miirht want to uo to Greenwood as it will see by reading the News this week, but we do j not want the old charier to thai point. 'I he Herald and News is old and we j cannot excu-o it on that account: but. J I'lie New- i- of a very friendly, ' neighborly a d foi-jiving nature, and loruives ii ,,n t'l,- .'-.1111111 that it was) not faniilia 1 w ith l he I'acls in the case. It can learn from ibis issue of The News that years ago, a line was 1 actuallx partially graded from An-' gusta via Kdgelield to within a short distance of Newberry. There was a 11 old charter for that road too. If The J Herald and New.- will read Tile News, we will kt v j 1 it j ??? j? 1 i. I Id .*?' t? !. I x . . i It is vers kind ot yon to lorgivej us. Of course there is no compulsion to use 1 he present charier but we j thought you wanted the road and we wanted to help you gel it the easiest and quickest way. If that is what! you want (he 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 vi*a l/aluda on to Whit mire and UiV'U is what you want why thc.ni get busy on that proposition. The line was graded right into the city of Xewherry but that road is now in the hands of the Southern and under an act of the legislature I hey have several years yet in which to build il. and ii cannot be had urtil that time expires. It was rather silly legislation but it was done. The Herald and News may not be familiar V, , | with tins facts but wc do knmv if you I intend to build a road you must get busy and do somctliin.tr antl it may not be well to bo flirting; with too many different propositions. | ON CREATING AN INTEREST. j The N < w s is g I ad that il is erealin.tr ' :iit interest in :i I volley line from Kdgriicld 11 eillior Newberry or j (J I'een W 01 nl Kd'.'elield News. lilt?

We should never think of The Norfolk Larndmark as a nature faker, but we are afraid it has been imposed upon, lu its issue ol last Saturday, . il published, u:.d'-r glaring- head!ines. i sotnt'lhi11g" ei?neorning the senatorial i hopes and fears ol Hemphill, ot ( liarlesion, and attributed this public exposition of his boom to the editor of The Kvening Post. It is true that the editor of this paper is bearing the I burden of his esteemed contemporary's candidacy, with such assistance as he can hire by the day- nobody 'seems ever willing to cm. are lor a longer period l ban I wcnly-four hours but he realizes, as no oilier can realize, that with such an entry as lieis backing the most careful grooming is necessary before any public trial is made of his going ability. The silver-mounted lull no-.? i.-. rcad.\. I!i?1 rubj her tired bugg.\ with llie red wheels is ! I here all except the shafts, which I have been sent out for repair?but I the time is not yet for hitching up I lie ! candidate. Thai was tried before j with disastrous et loots, antl his manager is determined that "<> more | chances shall be taken. Ho is being 1 trained now in a brake, and tin* editor of The Kvening Post would never have trolled him out before the multitudes assembled in Norfolk for the celebration of Carolina Day. The Landmark's reporter must have boon stuffed by one ol the commissioners to the Jamestown exposition.-?('harloston Post. I Wo understood that this senatorial 1 boom was launched by the editor of the Post, the mayor of Charleston and the speaker of llie house of representatives while they were in Xorj folk hist week and we are sure we so read it in several papers. Now hero comes the editor ol the Post talking about the blundering of some one. i We are surprised. True we heard at 'the press association mooting al the ilslo of Palms something ol this race laud we were gently reminded that no newspaper man should aspire to any otiice except il wore the Pnited Stales scnatorship. Alter nil thi-> and the | bright * lories which we received from i Norfolk we are surprised to see the I Post say "the time is not yet for I hitching up the candidate. \ on should not be bashful or backward, j Von ca inot win even the senatorial race i*? thai way.

There is sullicieut through travel bet \veI'll 111'ec'il v 11 h1 a!' d t o 1II in bi a .1 d t Mia rlost,on over the Atlantic ( oast Line to warrant the handling ot a parlor car on the through trains. The News fells sure it is voiding the desire of the l raveling public in asking; for this accommodation. It is a long I tiivsoine I rip from Cahrleston !<^ l ireei vilie. a .d vice versa, and we believe that the inauguration ol a chair car over the line would be liberally snpporlo.l. particularly in the summer months. In addition to lao iiea. encountered on the trip going- in either direction, on account of the time of day the trip between here and Columbia is one of the dirtiest it: the i I'nited States. P?y the time the trains j get to their destinations the coaches | are not fit to ride in on account ol the <lust and cinders. Travelers between stations can make out all rig'/*? but the railroad should provide better accommodation for people who travel through. This is a matter that should be taken up till along the line from Greenville to Charleston, and The News is glad to start the ball rolling. The accommodations are not satisfactory for the amount of traveling that is done over the line and the public has a right to feel that they are not gelling wlial they deserve. Let the movement be rushed in order that it may be ,1 1 'pushed ! It roup It, if it succeeds al ;i 11, before I Ik* siiinnu'i' is over.

The trolley from Augusta to Newberry and W'Jiitniire via Edgefield and Saluda would go through and help to revelop one of the most fertile sections of the state and the south.
