E. H. AULL. EDITOR. Intered at the Postoffice at N y. S. C., as 2nr ciasb mar Tuestday. July 9. 1907. A dispatch from Sumter to the C< lumbia State. says that " Sumter, n< satisfied with 75 miles of hard sau and clay roads. and many miles < macadam and clay streets, built in tl city of Sumter during the past si years, is going to .ke an effort i harden every public road ill Sumt( county.'' This is what ought to 1 done by every county in South Cart lina, and what Newberry county ougi to do, and what it would pay Nev berry county to do. rOR A HOSPITAL. There has been some anitation i Newberrv of a movement looking tt wards the erection of a hospital her< While Nwberry is one of the healtl iest cities in South Carolina, the nee of a hospital in a city its size is a at once apparent to all thinking pec ple. and the fact -that Newberry healthy is one of the strongest argu ments for the location of a h'ospito here. It has been suggested by some tha the ladies of Newberry should pei feet an organization, and take th matter in hand. The movement fo a hospital in Columbia was starte by the ladies of that city, and pushe to a successful conclusion by then The ladies of Newberry could build hospital, as the ladies of Columbi did. Once started4t would, of cours( be self-sustaining, and in all proba bility .a good investnient. But it is not so much from a finar eial point of view that the need of hospital is realized. In a case of t3 phoid fever, for instance, the patien can receive much better attention i a hospital than in any home, and tb danger is remover from the othE members of the family. All of us dislike to have our sie away from home, and many of, us ai unable to send them away from homl Hence. the urgent need for a hospit in Newberry. The matter has been suggested, at the suggestion is a good one. If ti ladies should take up the work, ' feel sure they would have the heari co-operation and the active aid at support, both moral and financial, 4 all our people. We would like to hear some discn sion of the matter. ANOTER COTTON MILL. There has been considerable tal in a general way in Newberry fi some time about the advisability I building another cotton mill. In fa( it is very probable that one or tv more mills will be launehed durii the year. tI is very important to ti V community that the pay roll in Ne' berry be increased and there is better locality for anotiher mill. I co-operation a large part of the cap tal for another mill could -be secur4 from the business men of this cot munity. If one or both of the ente prises that are now under way shou materialize we hope that every bu~ ness man in the community will tal some stock whether it be much < great so that the -enterprise wifl least have this tangible evidence his endorsement and encouragemet The two mills that have been bui in Newberry are both being operat< successfully and are paying good div .ends to their stockholders. Thea is no reason why one or two mo * mills should not be built and shou. ,iot be equally profitable to those wi pnt their money into them. What the promoters need, howeve as well as money from the comm nity is the hearty endorsement at encouragement and united effort< t'he pdirt of everybody in the cox munity. and that with some sto< from all of our business men. whet er much or gre at, would en.able t? who are in busin&!s, will be th ben&I fieiaries in the payV roll which w accomp)any the building of the mill. Will turn loose much money in tl community and will furnish mo persons to become buyers, and thi help every business. We understand that at least one these proposed nills is nowi~ in fa shape to mnterialize in the near f ture and we want' to emphasize ti fact that every man in the commun' should give it at least his encourag mnent. We do not propose to have any di e15sion with one ceotemporary on l know. that it' we wvill have any pe manlent work{ done on our streeCts thi it oght tn start somewhere about ti WVV r.\e ZI IV ' 111 1t I 1 o ~ilvva I t,1 I.w0 - .~ pil l , nh I c* * 1;~ ;i : 1 db.x~v V i v all *I I :I el tI talking about street iliplOVIent. It will take money to do any permaimncnt work. but it is money well invested. and our town has now reachield tha' point where it is necessary that there t should be some street paving done. that is real street paving. The shovel , nd pick and the digging of a few e ditches and the throwing of grass and x dirt in the centre of the street will do 0 for publie highawsy, but is scarcely in keeping with the progress of the times in a city of the size of Newber ry. it We remember very well that when the agitation for the establishment of a -raded school in Newberry was first started and when the agitation for the establishment of water works and electrie lights was inau-nirated that the same kind of talk was indulgedl in that we hear now about permanent street buildinz. It was araued that th'e town was not ready and that it would be unwise to bond the town for these publie utilities. but after they came, everybody wondered why somethin of the kind had not been done sooner. The Herald and News proposes to keep up the agitation, and if possi ble to create a public sentiment, which - will demand that we have perman e ent streets built in Newberry. The reason we have advocated the pavmng of a short section is that if we could see and use even a small portion of a paved street, the demand for more a such work will be created so much a sooner.
