PICK AND SHOVEL BRIGADE.
The pick and shovel brigade is still
at work on our streets throwing
briekbats and tin cans and broken
bottles out of the ditches into the mid
dle of the streets thereby making very
attractive and beautiful thorough
fares.
An automobilist said the other day
in one of the best street where he
had been aceustomed to taking his
best rides there were so many brick
bats and tin cans thrown out of the
ditches into the middle of the street
that he had actually to change his
course. There is no doubt if we con
tinue to spend the public funds on
the pick and shovel brigade we will
have some beautiful streets in New
berry probably by the end of the pres
ent century, when ,the brickbats and
tin cans and grass and mud all con
geal into one solid and substantial
mass of matter.
We understood that sometime ago
city council had purchased some pav
ing material in pursuance of the
agreement which it was thought had
been reached among the owners of
property in Caldwell street from
Friend to the public square for the
paving of that street. If the agree
ment has fal-len through, or was never
perfected, -we hope that city council
will use this material in paving some
section of our streets so that the work
of permanent paved streets will be
begun.
A city or county cannot make bet
ter investment of public funds than
to put them in-o perm...-:r street and
road work. I- is impossible to build
all the roads and streets at :-ne time,
but that should nit prevent begin
ning the work at sume p As a
matter of fact, otir s .e-s re almost
in ai had cndition as t1te streets
in 0.>humbia, and they have already
mwade rrangements fcr permanent
street paving and have ap,pointed a
c"mamsi..n to take cha~rge of that
part of the w'rk for the,ci-y.
PARLOR CAR FOR COAST LINE.
With the Greenville News, at one
end of the line and the Charleston
Post at the other, the Laurensville
Herald and The Herald & News in be
tweenareallinsit'ngupon the Atlantic
Coast Line hang.ing a parlor car be
tween Greenville and Co'lumbia. It
would seem to us that the passenger
service on this road, which is proba
bly the heaviest of any road in South
Carolina, would warrant the company
* to give this additional service. We
had hoped that the commercial bod
les, which are presumed to be organ
Ized for the advancement of the best
eterest of the communities in which
they exist, would have taken hold of
these suggestions and assisted the
newspapers in their efforts to secure
.better accommodations for the travel
ing public. We are satisfied that the
Southern will find that the public ap
preciates its efforts to serve those who
travel, and we know that this parlor
car would be appreciated by the pat
rons of the Coast Line (between Char
leston and Greenville.
So far as we have observed none
of these commereial bodies, to which
we have referred, have taken any ac
tion to assist the newspapers in their
efforts. If the chamber of commeree
.' Newberry has done anything, it
.s kept very quiet. It seems to us
that this is a legitimate subject upon
* whiceh the chamber of commerce
night take actioni, either through its
officers or its standing committee. We
believe if the matter is brought offi
'cially to the attention of the officials
of the Coast Line with a unanimous
request from these organizations in
the several towns between Greenville
and Charleston, that the parlor car
service would be put on at once.
HELPING THE FARMERS.
Congressman Lever has been very
active in his work for the farmers
in his' district. On.ly recently he has
been in Lee county and in Sumter
county securing soil surveys by ex
perts .from the departments in Wash
ington and making experiments. This
work i-s 'being done under the direc
tion of a newly created division of
the government on the ulilization
of soil.
The purpose is to ascertain and tc
demonstrate the fertilizer and cror
to which the soil is best adapted. This
state uses more commercial fertilizei
than any other state in the union
and Mr. Lever is of the opinion-and
we suspect corretly-that at leasi
one-third of it is wasted by using fer
tilizer that is not adapted to the soil
Ter followin. para oys from an in.
terview along this Iime from CongTess
man Lever are very Irue1C and we tom
iuu!]ed the effmrts 1f A.r. Lever in en
leavorln t asist the farmer to make
his life ea:ier and the profits from 1
his labor g-reater
"I told the Marlboro farmers, who
are using 1,500 pounds of commercial t
fertilizer to the aere, that I believed I
that this state- ,which spends $5,000,
000 a year for commercial fertilizer,
more than any other state in the Un
icn uses, is wasting a third of this
fertilizer by usin,, too nmueh, and a
third more by shallow plowing.
"In my opiliol the south has suf- I
fered more 1*r froi politicians talking
demagogery and pessisimism than
from all other sources. The farmer
wants to get the idea in his head that
he has got to work, work hard and in- ]
telligently and with faith and confi- i
dence. The Southern farmer has un- I
told riches in his grasp if he will but
get down to work and quit growling
about his down-trodden condition."
We have not heard any sound like
starting that hospital about which we
wrote some days ago. Abbeville has I
already raised something like $6,000
.for a hospital; Greenwood is agitating t
the subject, and we hope the sugges- I
tions contained in The Herald and -
News as to Newberry will not be per
mitted to pass by without attention.
We 'have as fine physicians here as t
any of these towns, and while this
is a very healthy community, yet it
would be a good thing to have a first
class hospital, because people do^some
times get sick and there are, unfor
tunately, times when it is necessary
to have some surgieal operations per
formed.
The following paragraph appeared
in the State of Tuesday. We are 'glad
that the Public Service Cosporation I
has decided to move its headquarters
to Columbia, and also that it pro
poses to make the first line as indicat- i
ed in this paragraph.
It should be of considerable inter.
est to the people of Newberry, and ]
we believe that the decision to build
the loop as indicated here is the wis- I
est one that the Pulblic Service Cor
poration could have made. It will
carlry its line through a section that
is very fertile and that is in very
great need of railroad facilities.
"A representative of the Public
Service corporation who was here
yesterday states his belief that by'
this time next y,ear the headquarters
of the company will have been estab
lished in Columbia and .that the grad
ing of the roads out of Columbia will
have commenced. He states that as
a matter of record the company has
spent over $100,000 already in having
srveys made.
" There will be three branches run
fing out of Columbia, one via Lexing
ton and Saluda to Newberry and
Whitmire and Union and Winnisboro
and back to Columbia, forming a
loop. He believes that this will be
the first line on which work will 'hie
commenced. The other will be stai
ed toward Orangeburg and thence to
Smmerville and Charleston. -
It would be interesting to know
why there is~ no better discipline at
Clemson, whether it is because the
members of the faculty know Itoth
ing of discipline or because they are
afraid the boys in .eharge will turn
them out of their fat jobs There can
be no good from the toleration of such
doings in South Carolina. The young
men who are to become the future
rulers of the state are -not fit for such
a calling until they have first been
tagh't to obey.-Yorkville Inquirer.
From a editorial in the Press and
Banner one of whose proprietors is a
trustee of Clemson college the fol
lowing paragraph may explain and
answer your question:
"Deeply as the board of trustees
and the faculty regret any disorder,
it is a well known fact that in mili
tary organizations, if there is disor
der, the fault primarily rests with the
commandant. The board of trus
tees look to the Commandant for or
der, and any man who has ever been
in military service knows that the
efficiency of the service is exactly
commensurate with the efficiency of
te commanding officer. If a canm
mander is not a consistent discipli
arian, he canno't correct resu-lting
evils by a measure so drastic as to
sweep out one fourth of his com
mand."
It would seem from this that the
fault for the disobedience and laek of
discipline, which is admitted by the
Press and Banner, lays entirely at
the door of Capt. Clay. We do not
know tha twe can agree entirely with
the lecture, which the Press and Ban
ner reads the newspapers of this
state and the charge which it con
~inne. that thier hav~e displayed a great
deal of nerve in eriticising Clemson
College. So far as we have observ
ed, while there has been some critie
ism, it has all b)eenl in a v-ery friend
how a Ieep i!er-est on the part ()f
he press in the sceess < f the insti
fiiill.
ie al)ove criticis. and so far as we
:'ow, there is no newspal)er in the
tate that would do anything to hurt
he institution but they all show a dis
)oition to help. There has been no
lisplay of opposition to it, but all the
xpressions have been along the lines
