E. H. AULL. EDITOR. Entered at the Postoffice at Nevy Aerr. S. C., as 2nd class matter. Friday, August 16, 1907. THE TROLLEY LINE. Mr. J. K. Aull of Newberry wh besides being on the staff of The Hei aid and News is court stenograph( for his circuit was in town last wee] He has recently shown by his wr.. ing in The Herald and News thi he appreciates the necessity of trolley line from here to Newber by Saluda. He is trying. to awal Newberry to the importance of t-1 moment. The Herald and News doing a good work along that lir and is out for business.-Edgefiel News. We are doing the best we can i arouse the people of Newberry to ti importance of cooperating with ti peop!e along the line from here i Augusta, and we believe that he bus ness interest of this community wi awaken to the importance of securik this road before it is too late. Elsewhere we publish an intervie with Mr. Z. F. Wright, president < the chamber of commerce, in whi( he states that he realizes the impor ance to the commercial iaterest, this community of this addition. railroad connection and that he fee that it would open one of the mo, fertile seetions of South Carolina an would make it even more tributax to Newberry than it is at present an that he will name a committee in a< dition to the standing committee I confer with other committees appoin ed. 'by the Edgefeld meeting in ri gard to securing this road for NWv berry. We are glad that Mr. Wright hi takea this position, and is manifestir the interest in this important ente prise that he is, and we ' trust th, the special committee, which he nax es, will take active cooperation wil similar committees along this road. The Herald and News is vei strongly convinced that the buildir of a road from Newberry to Salui 4nd beyond would mean a great de, for the commercial interest of th *community. We take pleasure in directing a tention to the Edgefield correspon' ence in regard to the Edgefield at Newberry railroad published in anot) er column, in which is quoted an e torial expression of the Edgefiel Ohroniele. It is simply confirmatic of what The Herald and News hr claimed to be the feeling and sent n}ent of the people of Edgefield regard to having this road or trolk line extended to Newberry. We would state for the informatic of our Prosperity correspondent th: Mr. Earle Sloan, of Charleston, state 'geologist. . We think he has h office in Charleston, but recently he been with the Jamestown expositi( exhibit of the state. 'Just what I has- done or is doing, we are...sorn that we are not ig poWon to give o1 correspondent the information he d< sires. Mr. Sloan, however, is a most ell gant gentleman and we are satisfie that a letter addressed to him Charleston would receive a prom1 and courteous reply, and np doubt I could tell our correspondent what I is doing and what he has done. We are rather inelined to the opii ion that this is a department of ti * state government, which really he proved to be more ornamental tha useful. The Civic Association has mai great progress in the matter of kee] ing our streets in beautiful and a tractive appearance. In fact, we do n< .. ink we have even seen them moi beautifully adorned with watermelc rinds. banana peelings, an~dother pil as c*~ trash, 'than they are todla: Those beautifully painted tin cans< trash receptacles, which the city coui eil furnished, are very generally ut ed, but somehow most of the me: ehants and house-keepers fail to g4 all of their trash into them. We sul pose the garbage carts are makin the rounds according to the schedul, which was agreed upon by the Civi Association and the city council. We do not know of any city of 3!n ilar size in which the attractions mei tioned above are more apparent tha they are in Newberry. The piek an shovel brigade 'has been laid asid~ for the present, and we now have brigade using hoes and rakes, cuttin down grass and raking it up. "Ma] ing hay while the sun shines.'' As a matter of act, we feel eneou: age~d that some time in the not tc distant future the -vork of street pa' ing will be commenced. The Newberry Herald and Nem +t11ks sense about a trollev connectio with Szfludia and EI.ketievld. Edge ield i- oi to talk busii.wss :4ouii and then 'et very h1sv.--Ed,rfi1eld News. We would be very glad to see New berry talk business in re,_ard to this matter. We have urged its import ance from time to time and our posi tion is not new. Now, however, that it seems that Edgefield and Saluda are aroused on this subject and mean business, we hope that our people in 0 Newberry will get busy themselves and cooperate with these others and secure the trolley connection for this ,town. Lt The monument, which was author. a ized to be reeted over Lhe grave of v Gen. Thomas Sumter. :.t Stateburg, e Sumter county, has been completed e and was unveiled on Wednesday. s e Chesterfield held an election on d Tuesday on the question of the dis pensary and by a vote of four to oae decided that there should be no li e qur sold in. the county. 1o Both Anderson and Richland coun i- ties have held elections on the. pro 11 position to establish county courts, g and both counties the proposition was defeated by very heavy niajorities. In Richland county this is the see ond election that has been held on h this same subject recently. f It would seem that none of the 1 counties in this state are prepared s for county courts. A few years ago ;t a general bill, providing for county d courts was introduced and passed by y the legislature, but all of the coun d ties practically were excepted from its [. provision. t- Anderson county held an election a - few days ago on the question of vot ing bonds to the amount of $300,000, or levying a two mill tax for the per s manent improvement of the public roads. Both the bonds and special - tax were defeasted. t In talking to a gentlemen from An ~ derson he said that the main reason h of the vote against this proposition was that the people, who live away 7 from the court house, feel that work g will be commenced around the court .a house first and that it would be too long before anything looking to the ipermanent improvement of the high -'ays in the townships remote from the coturt house was done. That would tbe the objection a great many people would raise to a proposition of this d kind, and wi'h the present feeling of Sthe people it would seem that the on 'ly plan by wihich money can be voted dfor the permanent improvement of nthe roads is to make a provision by s which work will be commenced in all Ssections of :he county simultaneous NEGRO UTOPIA. FOUND. t Educator Invites Colored Americans ito Go to Republic of Liberia. sL. Dr. R. A.'M. Deputies, superintend n ent of public instruction for the Re Spublic of Liberia on the west coast of iAfrica, who although born in Ameri: e a, has spent fifty years in Monrovia, Liberia, started recently on his re turn trip by way of the Batavia, d bound for Hamburg. He was a dele t gate to the general assembly of the > Presbyterian church. Doetor Depu ties went to Africa by way of the Underground railroad on his -first ejourney there, and contrasted it with the palatial corniforts of today, says ethe New York Tribune. He declared e5 that this will be his last trip across n the ocean. aThe doctor declares that n Lieriais aGod-selected spot for the American negro and thait within five e years he wants to see 100,000 Ameri can negroes in Liberia, where they can be happy, prosperous and wealthy >and can truly worship under their own vine and 'fig tree. ''We want no 'undersirable citizens' though,'' said Liberia's superintendent of edu cation. 'r In Liberia,'' continued he, ''we 1want men of our own race from Amer Sica who would sympathize with us -and deal charitably with us if we have t any faults. We want men who will .come with the desire to help us build Sup our country and establish there a a nation that can be made the wonder e and admiration of the vorld. In Liber ia the American negroes could have a government of their own people and . be ruled by men of their own race. n Then, free from molestation and all d Ifear, they could in composure worship ethe God of their fathers, build good a schoolhouses, seminaries and colleges g and maintain them for posterity, . whichi would eventuate in the forma tion and the perpetuity of the United ,States of Africa. This is no Utopian e idea. I wish it could get to the ears y of ten million of my raes in America and the millions more in the isles of the sea and urge them to come home. -s ''We want the American negroes to , come ner and heln ua tn bring fresh Iife and liht to !hline away the dark ie.ss PresideL Barclay and his cabi net would welcome all intelligent and well-to-do negroes, and would give them facilities for becoming happy and prosperous. Let those who desire to come secure here all the education possible, let them bring with them some money, and when they reach Africa they will be born again. "Of course Liberia is situated," said he, "in tropical Africa, and yet it does not get as -hofthere as it has been in 'the United States within the a last few days. It is the eaiest country in the world in which to live after one has remained a year or two, but one must have patience, and plenty of it, when he first comes to Liberia. If, hiowever, a man wants to go to a field to be useful* and helpful along all lines of .industry, let him come to Li beia. There he will find no opposi tion, no competition and a great aad varied field. "The American negro need not go to Liberia expecting to find work un less he starbs something himself. He has the. whole country before him in which he may do this, and there will . be none to molest his legal opera tions." He took occasion to refer to the success that is attending T. MoCants Stewart, who some years ago lived in this city, and was the .fimst negro to I bE admitted to the bar in the state of C New York. Doctor Deputies declared that if Stewart had remained in Liber ia instead of returning to America, he, would have been president of the re- I public long ago. Unlike most of the negroes who advocate n'egro coloniza- 1 tion of Africa Doctor'Deputies made < no harsh criticism of America. IMfs. Krosswayj's next-door ieigh bor had passed away. "Well,' I'll say this for her," said Mrs. K*ssway, hwith a igh. "She was a good borrower.' '-Chica go Tribune. Watch thi Sp Valuable P Next]1 'FORR Two Stores on Ma location. J. A.
