U UNOLE PETE WRITES OF VISIT.
?i
Ho Is Pleased with Orangeburg and
His People?How to Build
Good Roads.
Editor Herald and News: With
thanks to Uncle Sam for his vacation,
I left Newberry last Monday, accompanied
by Mrs. P. and the little girls
on the down 10.32 Southern. We soon
arrived in Columbia and took in some
of the prominent places in the city.
At .3.50 p. m., we were again at the
depot and were soon on our way to
the city on the Edisto. We were met
at the depot by our son and the little
grandchildren and were soon at his
home on Broughton street. Orangeburg
is a nice town and the streets
run North and South and East and
1 West, and the side walks are laid with
cement from the Southern depot to
i, the St. Joseph's and Arlington hotels
and from these hotels to the Atlantic
Coast Line depot. The main or business
street is too narrow but there are
some splendid blocks. The court house
is built of brick and is a good one.
The post othce is on the square and is
a small one, not near large enough. I
met Post Master Webster and his
clerks and they made me welcome.
There are o rural routes and carriers
and 4 city carriers. At each street
corner is an iron post with metal
arms on which the names of the
streets are neatly printed, all the
houses are neatly numbered. The
business section of the town does not
eome up to the same in Newberry,
but the residence portion is very nice
indeed, in fact there fu*e some magnificent
homes in OraAgeburg, nearly all
the homes have well kept lawns, and
ire a credit to any city. The Catholics.
Episcopalians, Presbyterians,
Christians, Baptist and Methodist
have nice churches, and perhaps the
* Lutherans, hut the Lutherans are
scarce in the city. The city is com.
. paratively level, has electric lights,
artsian water and they are now putting
in a complete sewerage system
>J that runs to the Kdisto. There are
two irood hotels and they are well
kept. Four banks and one negro bank.
Three newspapers and one negro paper.
Two graded school buildings for
the whites and one or two for the
colored people.
The Orangeburg Collegiate Institute
is on Broughton street and under
the management of Prof. W. S. Peterson
is very successful. The enrollment
last session was 21."), and they
are expecting better things this year.
There will be 1(5 teachers the next
session. Orangeburg is proud of her
school and Prof, l'bterson has the
well done of the people on all sides.
The state college for the colored
people and Claflin University are also
here. There is one cotton mill, one
cl a pli a reheven .Hbu cpIIT />n t
yarn mill, ice plant, oil mill. They also
ship a lot of brick. The Edisto liver
is neiir the city and is well stocked
with splendid fish.
I met Col. I). O. Herbert and Mrs,
Herbert. Mr. and Mrs. Glaze and the
children, 'Mrs. Elizabeth Herbert,
These were Newberry people and gave
me a warm grasp of the hand. I also
visited the home of Rev. 1). I). DantzJer
who formerly preached on the
Newberry circuit and married one of
Newberry's best girls. I also met
quite a number of the prominent men
of tlie city and was given a heartv
welcome every where. I also met Rev,
Houser of St. Matthews, who says:
That the Virginia preachers and Virginia
teachers and the Johnson Nut
grass have about over run South Carolina.
T also met Supervisor Dantzler. lie
is one of the best supervisors of the
state, lie now has 300 miles of splendid
roads in the county and is still
building them as fast as it is possible
to do so. Orangeburg county has 1
mill property tax and one dollar commutation
tax and this money is spent
entirely on the roads. Mr. Dantzlei
says that the commutation tax should
lie two dollars and with that and the
one mill tax he could soon cover the
county with good roads. He lets al
his bridges out by contract and ^ecps
his chain gang at work all the time
on his roads. He has two road scrap*
and they are kept busy every day
in the year of course except Sunday
and very rainy days. He told mc
he would not know how to do any
thing without scrapes. He does not
plant any cotton on the county farm
but plants corn, oats, peas, potatoes
and cabbage, &e.
He also uses some King Road
Drags. Mr. Dantzler informed me that
when he first commenced the road improvement
some of the people kicked,
now every section of the county is
eager for good roads and help him
with their mules, wagons and hire
him their hands. TTe told me if Supervisor
Wicker would get. a meeting
of the people on the good road f|uesfion,
he would gladly come to Newberry
and give them his experience,
He keeps a memorandum in his pock
et an<l It'll you what every iliiii"
cost.
I certainly enjoyed my trip to Or- F
angeburg. \\ e lel't Orangeburg1 at 9.27 8
a. m. Saturday morning and reached b
home on time.
One more weok of holiday and I}
will be ready for my work again.

Eased Her Conscience.
Horace Richardson, for many years!
a leading grocer, but now retired, isjb
in receipt of a letter mailed in this cj
city from an unknown writer, says a j si
Bedford correspondent of the India-,
napolis News, readings: .
4Mi. Richardson: When I was aj
girl, a few years ago, 1 was in your b
store, with other girls. I took some o
apples unknown to you, which we ate. fj
I didn't know it was wrong, but I' w
have learned since I grew older, and ' d
I inclose 25 eents in stamps, which 3
will fully repay yon for all loss by ii
my act." '
No name is signed to the letter, but
the writer adds: "You do not know!
w ho I am, but if we both go to heav-' /r
en (lien you will know."
