There is no ikmbt. if we con finue to spend the public funds oi the pick and shovel brigade we will have some beautiful streets in Newberry probably by the end of I he present century, when the biickbals and tin cans and urass and mud all eon-OilI into one solid and substantia mass of mailer. We understood that sometime a\r< city council had purchased some paviuu1 material iu pursuance if the agreement which il was llioii-jhl had been reached aiuoiii: the owners o| properly in ("aid well street from I' rietid to |he public srpiare for Ilia paving ot thai street. If the agreement has fallen IIt rout! h, or was never perfected, we hope thai city council will u<e this material in paving some section of our streets so licit the work of permanent paved streets will be begun. A city or county cannot make belter investment of public funds than lo put i hem invi pern.-.,.-i ! street and road -York. I: is impossible to build all I he roads and sheets ;i| ,-ne time, but that should 'i ti pre.ent beuiu "il the work at -oine face. As a matter o| lad, out s'hcs **r? almost n a-; bad condition as (t;e streets n 0 dumbia, and they !::.v.? already ma.le.

PARLOR CAR FOR COAST LINE With the (Jreeiiville News at oik end ol' the line and the Charlestoi Post at the other, the Laurensvillt Herald and I'lie llerald News in bef ween areall insitiuii upon the Atlantic Coast Line handling ;i parlor car between (Jreeiiville and Columbia. Il would seem to us that the passentrei service on Ibis road, which is probably the heaviest oi' any road in Souti Carolina, would warrant the company to ?;ive this additional service. \V< had Imped that the commercial bod las, which are presumed to be organ l/eil for the advancement of the best interest ol' the communities in whirl they exist, would have taken hold ol these suggestions and assisted the newspapers in their el't'orts lo securc better accommodal ioiis for the travel in- public. We are .satisfied that tin Southern will tind thai tin* public ap preciates its eflorts to serve those win travel, and we know that this parloi car would be appreciated by the pat rons of the Coast Line (between Charleston and (Ireenville. So I a r as we have observed nom of these commercial bodies, to whicl we have referred, have taken any action to assist the newspapers in tlieii etlorts. II the chamber of commcret ol Newberry has done anything, il has -kept very cpiiet. It seems to u> that this is a legitimate subject upor 'which the chamber of commerci might take action, either through it: ollicers or its standing committee. W< believe if the matter is brought otli einlly to the attention of the ofllciak of the Coast Line with a unaniniou: request from these organizations ii the several towns between Cireenvilh and Charleston, that the parlor eai service would be put nu at once. HELPING THE FARMERS. Congressman Lever has been von active in his work for the larmen in his district. Only recently he has been in Lee county and in Sumtei county securing soil surveys by ex perls from the departments in Wash inirton and making experiments. This work is being done under the diree tion of a newly created division o the government on the ulilizatior of soil. The purpose is to ascertain and t< demonstrate the fertilizer and croj to which the soil is best adapted. Thi state uses more commercial fertilize: than any other state in the union ami Mr. Lever is of the opinion?an< we suspect correctly?that at leas one-third of it is wasted by using fcr tilizer thai is not adapted to the soil The following paragraphs from an in J leixiew along tliis line from Connrcssj "i:ni '-ever suv very | rue ami we commend the efforts of Mr. I.ever i? cni deavoriny to assist I lie farmer I.. make .

We are dad that the Public Service Corporation hsis decided to move its headquarters l?> Columbia, and also I hat it proposes to make the first line as indicate ?'d in t hi> paragraph. It should be of cousiderstble interest I" the people of Newberry, and we believe that the decision to build he loop as indicated here is the wis<""1 ?ha I the Public Service CorI"'1 a' i'"i eoiild have made. || wj|j carry its line throunh si section I hill is very fertile and that is in very nival need of railroad facilities. "A represents!)ivc of the Publio Service corporation who wsis hero yesterday states his belief that by time next year the headquarters 1 ot the company will have been us tab* i I'shed in Columbia and that the srrnd! Iiijr of the roads out of Columbia will have commenced. lie states thai as :i matter of record the company has spent over $11)0.01)0 already in bavinsurveys made. "There will be three branches run "inn out of Columbia, one via l,e.\in?-i t?n and Saluda to Newberry and W hit mire and Cnion and Winnsboro iuul back to Columbia, forming a loop.

Yorkville Inquirer, i I'nun si editorial in the Press and I | Manner one of whose proprietors is si < trustee of Clemson college the foli lowmjr paragraph may explain and J j answer your question: > Deeply as the hoard of trustees iuul the faculty regret any disorder, il is a well known fad that in niiliJ hiry organizations, if there is disor der, the fault primarily rests with the i commandant. The board of trustees look lo the Commandant for orr j'er, and any man who has ever been in military service knows that the efficiency of the service is exactly commensurate with the elliciency of [ tho commanding1 officer. If n eanv ? mander is not a consistent discipli? Nnnan, he cannot correct resulting r ov,ls hy measure so drastic as to - sweep out one fourth of his com mand." 3 It would seem from this that the fault for the disobedience and lack of I discipline, which is admitted by the i icss and Manner, lays entirely at the door of Cnpt. Clay. Wre do not 1 know tha twe can agree entirely with 1 M,e '^hire, which the Press and Mans ner reads the newspapers of this r ?tale and (lie charge which it eon> ,;ni'v' they have displayed a great I dea of nerve in criticising Clemson ollege. So far as we have observed, while there has been some eritic 'sin, it has all been in a very friond j-y spirit and with expressions which show ;i deep intores! on the part of the press in the success i (' (he inslii hi i?>11. Wi- do in.! see how Clemson should Ik- above criticism. and so far as we know, there is tin newspaper in llie , state that would do anything to hurt the institution hut (hey all show a disposition to help. 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. Directors of Bank of Prosperity?
