( t i,', PICK AND SHOVEL BRIGADE. , The pick and shovel brigade is still ; ! at work I'll our streets throwing ] brickbats ami tin cans and broken bottle-; out <>t' the ditches into the middle ut the streets thereby making very ' attractive and hcautilul 1*11??ri?uu 11- 1 tares. j *' An aiit< mobilist said the other day in one of the best street where lie had been accustomed t<? takin.: his best riiirs there were so many brickbats and tin cans thrown out ot i he* ditches into the middle of the stiect I ' that he had actually to change his ' ~ course. There is no doubt if we eon-j' fiiiue to spend the public funds on j the pick a ml shovel brigade we will! have some beautiful streets in New- si berry probably by the end of the prcs- w ent century, when the brickbats and ] ;? tin cans and t?rass and mud all eon- i fi real into one solid and substantial tl mass of mat ter. I t i IN i We understood that sometime ago, city council had purchased some pav-1 iiiy material in pursuance of the !1 agreement whi-'h it was thought had) " bit'!! ?eaelied among t!ie owners ..fj property in Caldwell street from Friend to the public square for the j paving of that street. It' the agree- ' men! lias fallen through. or was never j pert.-.-ted. we hope that city council i will use this material in paving some section <>t our streets that the work ' . of permanent paved streets will be 11 begun. t . h, A city or county cannot make better investment of public funds than to put ! iiem itr-> pecci;-... r' street and ' road A'ork. I: is impossible to build I all the loads and siieets at ne time, i , but th.it should Mil piv.Pin bey in- ! nin-_T the work at some | ,\s a tmatter ?t tact, oai .s'mcs -n almost in as bad condition as tie street.*1 >n Cduinbia, ami they hi.v.- already ' ma Ie irrangciii.Mits f? r permanent ' street paving and have appointed a , ,, e< inniisfti n take eiiapji- of thai'" pa< * .'f the wvrk tor the <; y. js I v PARLOR CAR FOR COAST LINE.' t With the (ireenviUc News at one j o end of the line and the Charleston! I Cost at the other, the Lanrensville! i; Herald and The Herald News in be-1 h t weenareall iiisilinu upon the Atlantic! a Const l.ine handling a parlor car be-1 s tween (ireenville and Columbia. It s would seem to us that the passenger service on this road, which is proba- n bly the heaviest of any road in South j t Carolina, would warrant the company ; \ to give this additional service. We' ;i had hoped that the commercial bod- j I ies, which are presumed to be organ- t I zed for the advancement of the best c interest ol' the eonununities in which j e they exist, would have taken hold of . .c these suggestions and assisted the} newspapers in their efforts lo soeuro j better accommodations for the travel-' v in?j public. We are satisfied that the < Southern will lind that the public ap- It preeiates its efforts to serve those who i travel, and \\t> know that this parlor;;] ear would be appreciated by the pat- , i rons of the Coast Line (between Char- I lesion and <Ireenville. , So far as we have observed none i i of these commercial bodies, to which ' i we have referred, have taken any ac- i; tion to assist the newspapers in their 1 efforts. Tf the chamber of commerce of Newberry has done anything, it | I has kept very quiet. It seems to us I I that this is a legitimate subject upon : 1 iwhieh the chamber of commerce 11 might take action, either through its] ollioers or its standing committee. We I ; believe it' the matter is brought oili- \ i cially to the attention of the officials I of the Coast Line with a unanimous < request from these organizations in < the several towns between (ireenville 11 and Charleston, that the parlor car < service would be put on at once. i I ( HELPING THE FARMERS. | r Congressman I/ever has been very I active in his work for the farmers i in his district. Only recently he has i been in Lee county and in Sumter < county securing soil surveys by ex- j perts from the departments in Wash- i ington and making experiments. This work is being done under the diree- 1 tion of a newly created division of ? the government on the utilization 1 of soil. I The purpose is to ascertain and to 1 demonstrate the fertilizer and crop t lo which the soil is best adapted. This i state uses more commercial fertilizer * than any other slate in the union, 1 ami Mr. Lever is id' the opinion?and ( we suspect correctly?that at least { one-third of i| is wasted by using for- c tilizer that is hot adapted lo the soil, i The following paragraphs from an in- ! Hb, :;.v ; I' ssu>.- . . ... erview along (his line from Coiurress11:111 I.ever are very true ami we comnond the eiforts of Mr. I.ever in eti!i .1 voriiii! |o as-ist the farmer !<> make i:-? life easier ami the profits from lis lal)i?r renter: '*1 told the Marlboro tanner?, who re usitiir I.,">00 pounds of commercial 0 rtili/er to the acre, that I believed hat this state ,which spends jCi.llUO, 100 a year for commercial fertilizer, )<>re than any other state in the I'n"ii uses, is wnstinir a third of tliis ertili/.er by u-in?- ton miieli, and a bird more by shallow plowing. "In my opinion the south has sill-I ivd more I loin politicians talking eina.uoiiery and pessisimism than loin all other sources. The fanner ant- to -t?i 1 he idea in his head that i- ha- joi v.ork, work hard and ini-llijently and with faith and confieme.

J We liave as tine physicians here as ny of these towns, and while thi>| a very healthy community, yet it I "'ild be a 'jood tliin-j to have a lirst j as-hospital, because people do .soineines i;et -ick and there are. uuforuiately. times when it is necessary > have -oine suruieal operations per>rnn'd. I he tollowimr paragraph appeared 1 the State of Tuesday. We ar? glad ! at the Public Service ('ouporat ion a> decided to move its headquarters > Columbia, and also that it prouse. tn make the litst line as indicate I in this paragraph. It should lie of considerable intor>: to the people ot Newberry, and e believe that the decision |o build 10 loop as indicated here is the wis 1 one that the Public Service Coloration could have tnude. It wiU irVy its line through a section that very fertile ami that is in very real need of railroad facilities. "A representative of the Public >ervice corporation who was here eMerday states his belief that by nis time next year the headquarters f the company will have been established in Columbia and that the irrad" "I the roads out of Columbia will ave commenced. He slates that as matter o| record the company has pent over slMO.OOO already in haviny urvevs made. I here will be three branches runliny out of Columbia, one via Lex in,iron and Saluda to Xewberrv and \hitniire and I'tiion and Winnsboro iml back to Columbia, fonninir a oop. He believes that this will bo he lirst line on which work will bo ommoneed. The oilier will be start d toward Oranirehurir and thence to nimmervillc and Charleston." It Would be interest mir to know vhy there i* no better discipline at 'lenison. whether it is because the uembers I the faculty know notli'1 ?" ot discipline or because tliev are if raid the boys in charge will turn hem out ot 1 heir tat jobs There ran ?c no good from the toleration of such loinys in South Carolina. The young nen who are to become the future nlers of the state are not fit for such 1 calling until they have first been aiiu'ht to obey.?^ orkville Impiirer. From a editorial in the Press and banner one of whose proprietors is a rnstee of Cleinson college the folowin.ir paragraph may oxjdain and inswer your question: "Deeply as the board of trustees mil the faculty regret any disorder, 1 is a well known fact that in miliary organizations, if there is disorler, the fault primarily rests with the 'omniandant. The board of tnisei's look to the Commandant for orler, and any man who has ever been n military service knows that the efficiency of the service is exactly vnunensurate with the etliciency of the commanding ofllecr. If a cam nander is not a consistent disciplinarian, he cannot correct resulting vils by a measure so drastic as to sweep out one fourth of his command." It would seem from this that the *ault for the disobedience and lack of liscipline, which is admitted by the 'less and Manner, lays entirely at lie door of Capt. Clay. We do not enow tha twe ean agree entirely with he lecture, which the Press and Hauler reads the newspapers of this dale and the charge which it conains that they have disp ayed a great leal of nerve in criticising Clemson "oilego. So far as we have obsorv d, while there has been some criticsin, it has all been in a very friendy spirit and with expressions which iii . show a into rest on the part of the press in the success c f the instiI Ml ! >!!. We .! . in it ?ee Clemson s;11111111 Ik* above criticism, ami so far a- we know, there is ihi newspaper in the state that would do anything to hurt tiie institution but I hey all show a dis!,n>iti"!1 i" h**|p. There has been no display of opposition to it, but all the expressions have been along the lines of earnest solicitude. THE NEWS OF PROSPERITY.
