K. H. AULL. KDITOR. Entered at the Postoffice at \'cwp'.w'nv, S. C., as 2ii(i cia^.s inatu**. Tuesday. July !t. I!)07. A dispatch from Sumter to the Co] 11 mt?i;i Slate, says t Ii;it ' Sumter, not salislieil uitli 7"? miles ol' hard sand and clay mails, ami many miles nf macadam ami day streets, built in (lie city nf Sumter during llic past six years, is i???iiii*- to make an effort to harden every public road in Sumter county." This is what onirlit to he done hy every county in Smith Carolina, and what Newherry county ouirht In do, ami what il would pay Newlicrry county t<> do. FOll A HOSPITAL. j There hee! i niiii' a i I a t ii> 11 in Newherry ??f :t movement 1 < ? ki11I" wind- tin erection nl' a hospital here. While N" wherry is mie of ihe hcaltlii e -1 cilie- in Sonlii f'aroliua. ihe need nl' ;i hospital in a city iIs size i- at | at mice apparent to all I iiiukiiiu penph . :ii. I I lie fact thai Newberry is healthy is one nf the slrouue^l ar^nnienls lot i lie I<i< a;i?>11 of a hospital here. . Il lias heeu suggested by some that j| Ihe hldir; of Neuhertv should perfeel .in organization. ami lake the mailer in hand. The movement for a hospital in Columbia was started by the ladies of that city, and pushed to a successful conclusion hy them. The ladies of Newherry could build a hospital, as tin1 ladies of Columbia did. Once started il would, of course, he self-sustainimr. and in all probability a ?;?ii?iI investment. Hut il is not so much from a finan- ^ eial point nf view that the need of a hospital is realized. In a case of typhoid fever, for instance, the patient can receive much better alleulinn in a hospital than in any home, and Ihe Inii".?i*r i- remover from the other members of I he family. All of ns dislike to have our sick away from home, and many of ns are unable to send I hem away from home. Ileuce. ihe nrg-eut need for a hospital in Newherry. ' The matter has been suggested. and Ihe suggestion is a good one. If the ladies should take up the work, wo feel sure they would have the hearty co-operation and the active aid and support. In.th moral and financial, of all our people. We would like to hear some discussion nl' I he mat lor. ANOTHER COTTON MILL. There !ia> been considerable talk in a 'jeneral way in Newberry fulsome time about the advisability of building another cotton mill. In tact, il is very probable that one or two more mills will he launched duriutr Ihe year, il is very important to the commiiiiit v 1 hat the pay roll in Newberry be increased and there i- no better locality for another mill. Hy co-operation a large part of (lie capital for another mill could he secured from the business men of this community. If one or both of the enterprises that are now under way should materialize we hope that every business man in the community will take some stock whether il he much or | great so that the enterprise will at ! least have this tangible evidence of his endorsement and encouragement. The two mills that have been built in Newberry are both being: operated successfully and are paying: good dividends to their stockholders. There is no reason why one or two more mills should not be built and should not he equally profitable to those who put their money into them. What the promoters need, however, as well as money from the community is the hearty endorsement and encouragement and united effort on the pari of everybody in the community. :ri 1 :hat with some <1 ick i fr .i'! .-f I>u-inc?- men. wheth- ! cr m i. it real. w. n!d ei.al the ' pie-V 1 i!y ?r e the \* ho .1 re .i i . will he !I.. ticiarics in t'.e pay roll v\hic'i will j accompany the building ol the mil!, h ' will I il ri i loose much money in the! community and will furnish more persons to become buyers, and thus help every business. We nndersi.mil that at least one of these piopr>ed mills is now in fair shape to materialize in the near future ami we want to emphasize the fact that every man in the community should give it at least his encouragement. We do not propose |o have any discission with our eolenipornvy on the sullied of street improvement. We do know that if we will have any permanent work done on our streets that it ought !< ? start somewhere about the 1 \ built "hi as wo arc :i 1?Ic* to < 1<> it. It. Ik wever, ?c are jjohig Id adovcatc the j iin|>r<t of our strict* a:i.l at the same time cry Ilia! our taxc- arc l"" tij 'li ami we art* (on heavily in debt, why we had just as well -ton talking about street improvement. It J will take money to do any permanent work, lint it is money well invested, ! and our town lias now readied tha* point where it is necessary that there! should be some street paving done, j that is real street paving. The shovel i ^iiid pick and the di.irit'inir of a lew , i ditclic* and llu* throwing of grass and . dirt in the centre id' the street will do ! I for public liiiihawsy, but is scarcely in >< keeping with the progress of theji linn's in a city of the size of Xewber- | ! ry. j We remember very well that when J the agitation for the establishment of ;i i/raded school in Xcwberry was I iI 'e started and when tl"> agitation for : llie establishment of water works and led t ic !h;his w;is inaugurated t!i:?t l he same kind of ialk w as indul.'c.I in I hat v-'e hear now aboin permanent -!.< ( | buildite.:. It wa arvin d that the Iow11 was ii"! ready and thai il v\"'ild lie unwise to bond the town for these public utilities, but after they came, 'verybodv woinlere.l why sonictiiinu if the kind had U"l been done snuiier. The Herald and News propose- to keep up the a-jilat iou. and it possi. tie I" create a public sentiment, which ivill demand thai we have perniau 11 r streets built in Newberry. The eason we have advocated the pa villi? , if a short section is that if we could ;ee and use even a small portion of j 1 paved street, the demand for more uicli work will he created so much j iimner.
