If Newberry Wants Railro.ad Con Nection to Saluda Must Act At Once. Staff Correspondence Herald & News. Saluda. Aug. 8.-If Newberrv wants a railroad or trollev line to Saluda, and on to Edetield and Augusta, now is the time for the people of Newber ry to get busy. On Tuesday morning of this week a meeting of the citizens of Saluda was held in connection with the matter of building a railroad from Sal'uda to Greenwood. It may be too late now for Newberry to get this road, because Saluda is determined to have a railroad, and in the very near future, and Greenwood has been active in -her efforts to have it run to Greenwood. The matter is well I under way, and the people over here are confident that the Greenwood-Sa luda railroad is assured, and that it is only a matter of a short time before i it will be in actual operation. But .there is another project to build a trolley line through Saluda i which it would be well for Newberry I to consider 'before it is too late. Sev- I eral days ago a meeting of the citiz ens of Edgefield was held and the matter of building a. trolley line dis- I cussed. At that meeting committees 1 were appointed to look into various e routes which were suggested and to< see where the most aid could be secur ed. Among the points suggested were Plum Branch, Greenwood, Saluda, Newberry and others. Of course, if 1 the line should go to Newberry, it would pass through Saluda. The 1 plan is to build the line from North 4 Augusta through. Edgefield, on to one 1 of these points.. If the Greenwood pro jeet has already gone to6 far, it seems that Newberry would look into the other project immediaftelf and see to it that the trolley line is built to New berry. But it might not be too late to induce the citizens of Saluda to de cide upon the building of their rail road to Newberry, if the proper en couragement were secured from New- 1 berry. Certain it is, that if it is too late, Newberry should see to it that she does not miss the trolley line. The citizens of Edgefield seem -to be ~in earnest, and are going ahead to see what point wants the line, and what point is willing to aid in building it. There 5. no section of the south with greater possibilities than the see tion of country from the Columbia ' and Greenville division of the South ern across to the line between Colum bia and Augusta. A railroad or trvlley line through here is bound to come. It is only a question of time. From Newberry's standpoint, the trouble now is that if a railroad is built from Greenwood to 'Saluda firts, -trolley lines or railroad lines coming from the Efgfield side of the .county would find it easier simply to come to Saluda and conneet here with the line to Greenwood. iNow is. the time for Newberry to take up these matters. It will soon be too late. One has to spend only a few days here to become convinced that .the people mean business, and that they are 'determined to have a railroad. And the road when built will be supported by one of the finest sections of South Carolina, and will be of ineaculable advantage to the point to which it is' built. Newberry has the greatest oppor tunity now to go to work and accom plish something since the Seaboard was allowed to build through the up per section of the county without corn ing to the c.ounty seat. It was stated in Edgefield that the resolutions adopted 'at the meeting h4d there would be forwarded to Newberry so that Newberry might put dierself on record.1 The criminal court is in session here. There .is 'a heavier 'doeket than usual, .and a large number of ca.pital cases. The case against young Tay lor, who killed his father a short time ago, will not be tried at this term. The crops are fine in this county. The people all the way from Newber rv to Johnston, through Saluda. say tey have the best corn crop in many years, and the cotton crop, while in some inst-ances it is somewhat late, is far above the average. A gentle man sixty-five years old, who lives. near .Batesburg, said yesterday that that there was more corn planted in his seetion than he had ever known, and the crop was the best for many years. He said that one planter near Ridge Spring had fifty acres of corn from whieh he would gather 2500 bushels. The planters in the sandy country .along the Ridge, he said, h'ad within the last few years adopted a new method of using fertilizers, and it had proven very successful. Instead of putting all the fertilizer in the ground many of them put only a sinall quantity in t'he ground, and then places fertilizer around the growimg plants. from time to time. By this method. he said. the yields had been heavily increased. .K.EA. FOR A HOSPITAL. Physicians Confer with Committee Everything Looks Encour aging. As stated in Tuesday's Herald and N'ews. a meeting of the special com mittee appointed by the Chamber of Commerce to secure information in regard to the hospital, which The Ee-rald and News has been advocat ing, was held in the Chamber of Com neree rooms with the physicians of 'he city Tuesday afternoon.. Dhe committee is composed of . B. Cromer, J. B. Hunter and F. .T. Martin. Ten out of the thirteen physicians in the city in active prac ,ice were present with this committee mnd the others would ihave been there >ut for the fact that they had urgent -alls at that hour. The sentiment of the physicians, pho at.tended the conference. was inanimously in favor of the estab ishmetnt of a ihospital in the city. rhey also agreed that in' their opin on the project would be feasible and )racticable and of great benefit in he successful treatment of diseases. qothing, of course, definite was 'done )perating and as soon as-this informa ion is in hand, another meeting will ee will write to the management of ome private hospitals in different ities- of the state and ascertain the ost of building as well as (bhe cost of >perating and as.soon as this eommis ion is in hand, another meeting will >e held with the physicians, and it is rery probable that definite action will )e taken in the near future looking o the erection of a hospital in New >errv. There can be no doubt in the mind )f anyone that a hospital is needed iere, and that it would be a source of -reat good to the eommunity, and we tre satisfied that our broad-minded d liberal citizens, who have the noans, will not hesitate to co-operate vith the physicians in the purchase >f a lot and the erection of suitable >uildings, 'and that the means will be >rovided for the current expenses for -ueh an institation. Of course it is not expected, at least t the 'beginnirig, that it will. be a aying institution in dollars and ents, and. it is not with that "purpose n view that the matter has been agi ated at all, but 'with a view of being ble to care for those, who .neead hos ital treatment and who are sick and. yrobably do not :have the means to go ibroad to more expensive hospitals. The Herald and 'News hopes tilat lefinite action wil-l 'be taken 'in Jhe ear future. Death of Miss Gordan Weeks. Miss Frances Gordon Weeks died at :he home of her sister, Mrs. J. S. temsen, on the 'Ohesapeake Bay, near nnapolis, on Wednesday afternoon. Miss Weeks 'had been in bad health or sever~al years and had spent a por ion of the time in recent years in a sanitorium .in the 'hope that her ealth might -be restored. During the ammer, however, she was spending he time with her sister on the Bay. [t was not known that she was so ill, mnd the news of her death was a shock : her relatives in Newberry, Miss Weeks was a native of Clar ndon county, 'but had spent some rears in Newb'erry, where she had nany friends. She was about thirty rears of age and is survived by her ister, Mrs. Remsen, hei- mother and 1er brother, Dr. C. D. Weeks, of the irm of Gilder & Weeks, of Newberry, s. C. The body will be brought to New erry today accompanied by her moth r and sister, Mrs. Remsen. The fun ral will be held at the grave, the rocession- leaving the residence of 1er brother, Dr. C. D. Weeks, at 10 'elock. Miss Weeks 'was a membei- of the pisopal church and the servides wi1l be conducted by the Rev. Edward allender, rector of St. Lukes Episeo zal hurch of this city. Card of Thanks.

BRIDGE FALLS THROUGH. Two Mules and Two Horse Load o: Wood and Driver Go With It. No One Hurt. The brid,-e over Bush River on thi ra;'d leadin;- to Utopia and known a: 'the We'ber bridze. fell through oi Wednesday morning with a two-horsi wagon and a load of wood. The tean was driven by Wade MeNary. For tunately the span which broke wa: the one between the two channels o. the river, and was only about threi feet above the ground. The bridg1 just over the river is rather high an< if it had fallen through considerabb damage would have resulted. It is understood that the drive: was not -hurt at all, and only one o' the mules, was slightly bruised, an< the only damage to the wagon wa! the breaking of the coupling pole. Mr. Dickert, who rides the mai' along this road, managed to get ov. er with his motorcycle on Wednesda3 morning, but until the bridge is re paired he will be unable to cross al this place. It is presumed, of course, that the supervisor will have the bridge re. paired -at once, but it is probable thai it will not be repaired today, sp thosE who expect to attend -the barbecue si Utopia had better take the nppei route. EDUCATIONAL RALLY. To be Held at Utopia Today-Speech es to be Pade-Good Barbecue Served. Superintendeut of Education J. S Wheeler will have an educational ral ly at Utopia today as heretofore an nounced. A first elass barbecue wil be served and everyone, who has evej attended a barbecue at Utopia, know, what this -means. It is a most delight ful place in which to hold a meetins of this kind, and in which to serve i barbecue. The efforts of Mr. Wheeler t< arouse an interest in the matter ol education in the rural districts is t< be commended. We had hoped the the passage of the high school lav by the recent legislature would resul in the consolidabion of some of oui rural districts and ' give ut better school facilities and remov4 the excuse, which many of our bes and most prosperous farmers give a a reason for moving to town. In fact our understanding of the high sehoo law was, that it was intended to buib up good schools in the rural districts but it. seems that not only. in New berry, but in other counties, the pro visions of the act have been taken ad vntage of by towns in which they al ready had good schools.. Of cours we are delighted that 'Prosperity anm Little Mountain are -to have the -bene fit of this act, and in the case of Pros perity, a consolidation has been ef feted between that district and th< Excelsior district, but especially di we desire to see consolidation of som of the rural districts so as to have good high school in different section of the country. Uintil this is done the tendency wil1 -be for our -most pros perous farmers to leave the farm and move to the towns in order t< edea,te their ehildien. Mr. Wheeler expects several gentle men to attend the meeting at Utopi: today, who will make talks on the sub ject -of eduieation and endeavor ' ti arouse a greater interest and an in terest that will result in action. Ii these efforts, he should have the -hear ty co-operation of the people of thi entire county. BWART-PERRY 00. Capital $10,000 All Paid Up-Offi cers Elected-Firm Ready for . usiness.

The Clemson Car will be at New berry ol Saturday. tomorrow. Au Iust 10. and at Prosperity today. Fri day. Au.gust 9. These car, -are equip i ped with nany specimens of agricul ture -ro.wn on the farms at Clemson Colle-e as well as articles manufac tured in the other departments of the institution, and are making a tour of the state in order that the work at Clemson may be brought home to many farmers. who have not had the opp ortunity to visit the institution and tht they may thus be given a practical demonstration of what is I I being done there. Along withi these ears are several professors, who will lecture on subjeets pertaining to farm ing and some kindred subjects in which the farmers especially ought to be interested. In faet, the purpose of these institutes, 'as -they are term ed, is to give the farmers such infor mbation as may be valuable to thei in the pursuit of their vocations. There should be a large attendance of the farmers of 'this county both at the Prosperity meeting today and at the Newberry meeting tomorrow. As we understand it, the meetings wil, begin at 11 o'clock and we pre sume will be held and the lectures de livered in the court house. he ears, of course, will be at the union station and will be open for those who desire to see and examine the specimens, which are eontained in them, and someone will be there to explain and answer questions. We copy again the following para graph from the letter of Prof. J. N. Harper, who is in cherge-of this work, and we trust that inasmah as New berry has been given two days, one at Prosperity and one at Newberry, that the farmers will take advantage of these opportunities to receive instruc tions along the lines of their work. Prof. Harper says in the circulars which 'he sent out sometime ago: "We will have a number of things in our cars of interest to the farmers. These exhibits will be representative of many useful lines of work in agri culture, horticulture, veterinary sence and dairying, and there will be exhibits from other departments of 'the college illustrating the work Sdone by the stondents in the Textile, Meehanical and other departments. We are going to have with us a num ber of good speakers on subjects per teinit to agriculture, horticulture and dairying.'' -Mrs. L. J. Poinier,- of Spartanburg, -is visiting Mrs. Willie Ruf.
