Anil ?f Newberry who besides being on the stuff of The Herald and News is court stenographer for his circuit was in town last week, lie has recently shown by his writing in The Herald and News that he iipprcciates the necessity of a trolley line from here to Newberrv by Saluda. lie is trying to awake Newberry to i||t> iuiportauce of the moment. The Herald and News is doing a good work along that line and is out for business.?Kdireficld News. We are doing the bc.-f we can to arouse tlie people of Newberry to the import a nee of cooperating with the peop'e along the line from here to August a, and we believe that he business intciest ol this eomrnunity will awaken io the importance of securing this road beiore it is too late. KI so where we publish an interview with Mr. Z. F. Wright, president of the chamber of commerce, in which he states that he realizes the importance to the commercial i.iterest of this community of this additional railroad connection and that he feels that it would open one of the most fertile sections of South Carolina and uouid make it even more trihutarv to Newberry than it is at present anil that lie will name a committee in ad<Ii I ion to the st and iuy cominittee to conler with other committees appointed by I lie hd'-ic'licld inceliny in regard to securing this road for Newberry. We av -lad that Mr. Wright has lake i this position, and is manifesting the interest in (his important enlerpiise !|k;| lie is. and we trust that I he special committee, which he names. will take active cooperation with H"iilar (onimittees along this road. I lie Herald and News is verv strongly convinced that the building of a road from Newberrv to Saluda and beyond would mean a great deal for !be commercial interest of this community. We lake pleasure in directing attention lo the Kdgelield correspondence in regard to the Kdgelield and Newberry railroad published in another column, in which is quoted an editorial expression of the Kdgelield ( hronicle. It is simply confirmation <>f what The Herald and News has claimed !<> be the leelirg nnd sentiment of the people of KdgHield in re.uard to having this road or trolley line extended to Newberrv. We would state for the information ol our Prosperity correspondent that Mr. Marie Sloan, of Charleston, is state geologist. We think he has his office in Charleston, but recently has been with the Jamestown exposition exhibit ol the stale. .Tlist what he has done or is doing, we are sorry that we are not $ po<%'< >? to ?-iV(, correspondent the information he desires. Mr. Sloan, however, is a most ele-nnt gentleman ami we are satisfied that a letter addressed to him at < harleston would receive a prompt nnd courteous reply, and no doubt he <"iihl tell our correspondent what he i* doing and what lie has done. We are rather inclined to the opinion that this is ;i department of the * state government, which really has proved to be more ornamental than useful. I he ( ivic Association has made great progress in the matter of keepin our streets in beautiful ami attractive appearance. In fact, we do not ' link we have even seen them more beautifully adorned with watermelon rinds, banana peelings. nnd other pie/ r' trash, than they are lodlav. /' n,ow heautifully painted tin cans or trash receptacles, which the city council furnished, are very generally used, but somehow most of the merchants and house-keepers fail to et all of their trash into them. We suppose the garbaire carts are making the rounds according to the schedule, which was agreed upon by the Civic Association and the city council. We do not know of any city of similar si/e in which the attractions mentioned above are more apparent than they are in Newberry. The pick and shovel brigade has been laid aside for the present, and we now have a briirnde using hoes and rnkes, euttinp down grass and raking it up. "Making hay while the sun shines." As n matter of act, we feel encouraged that some time in the not too distant future the work of street pay nig will be commenced. The Newberry Ilerald and News "talks sense about a trollpy connection % I Willi Saluda and |.:,|o<.|it'!,l. field i> yoiln? lu talk business soon :in<I then v<'I very busy.?Kdgefichl News. I \\ c would be very glad lo see Newberry talk business iu regard lo lliis mailer. We have urged its importance I rom timo to time and our position is not new. Now, however, thai it seems that Kdgcfield and Saluda aie aroused on this subject and mean business, we hope that our people in Newberry will ?et busy themselves and cooperate with these others and secure tlie trolley connection for this town. The monument, which was aulhori>.ci! to ht> qreeled over ihe "nive of r?en. Thomas Sumter. : ( Slaleburg, Siimi?*r county, has been completed and was unveiled on Wednesday. ( ncslcrficld held an election on Tuesday on the question of the dispensary and by a vote of four to o.ie decided that there should be no liquor sold in the county. Moth Anderson and Richland counties have held elections on the proposition to establish county courts, and both counties Ihe proposition was defeated by very heavy majorities. Til Richland county this is the second election that has been held on this same subject recently. ll would seem thai none of the counties iu this stale are prepared for county courts. A few years ago a general bill, providing 'for countv courts was introduced and passed by the legislature, but all of the counties practically were excepted from its provision. Anderson eounly held an election a tew days ago on the question of voting bonds iu the amount of $.'{00,000, or levying a two mill tax for the permanent improvement of the public roads. Moth the bonds and special tax were defeated. In talking in a gentlemen from Anderson he said thai Ihe main reason of the \ote against this proposition was that the people, who live away from the court house, feel that work will be commenced around the court house first and that it would be too long before anything- looking to the j permanent improvement of the high- J " ays in the townships remote from the court house was done. That would bo the objection n great many people would iai.se to a proposition of this kind, and wi'.h the present feeling of the people it would seem that the only plan by .vhich money can be voted lor the permanent improvement of the roads is io -.naive a provision by which w.irk will be commenced in all Sections of the county simultaneously. NEGRO UTOPIA FOUND. Educator Invites Colored Americans to Go to Republic of Liberia. I)r. R. A. M. Deputies, superintendent of public instruction for the Republic of Liberia on the west coast of Africa, who although born in America. has spent fifty years in Monrovia, Liberia, started recently on his return trip by way of 'the Matavia. bound for Hamburg. ||(. was a delegate to the general assembly of the Presbyterian church. Doctor Deputies went lo Africa by way of the I nderyround railroad on his lirst journey there, and contrasted i( with the palatial comforts of today, says the New York Tribune. He declared that this will be his last trip across he ocean. The doctor declares that Liberia is a (iod-selecled spot for the American negro and that within five years he wants to see 100,000 American negroes in Liberia, where they can be happy, prosperous and wealthy and can truly worship under their <?wn vine and fi?- tree. " We want no ' umlersirable citizens' though," said Liberia's superintendent of education. 'In Liberia," continued lie, "we want men of our own race from America who would sympathize with us and deal charitably with us if we have any faults. We wan I men who will come wilh the desire lo help us build np our country and establish there a nation thai can be made the wonder and admiration of the world. In Liberia the American negroes could have a government of their own people and he ruled by men of their own race. Then, free from molestation and all fear, they could iu composure worship i 'he of their fathers, build good school houses, seminaries and colleges ?n<l maintain them for posterity, which would eventuate in the formation and the perpetuity of the United States of Africa. This is no Utopian i idea. I wish it could get to the ears oJ ten million of my race in America and the millions more in the isles of 'he sea and urge them to come home. e want the American negroes to omc over and help us to bring fresh t lite ami light to shine away the darkness President Barclay ami his cabinet would welcome all intolli?**eiit and well-to-do negroes, ami 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 thorn J some money, and when they reach / Africa <hey will bo born again. " J "Of course Liberia is situated," said he, "in tropical Africa, and yet it does not get as ho f'there as it has ^ been in 'the United States within the last few days. I( is the eaiest country in the world in which lo live after one has remained a year or two, but one must have patience, and plenty of it, when lie first comes to Liberia. If, however, a man wants to go to a field to be useful and helpful along all lines of industry, let him come to Li- " beria. There he will find no opposition, no competition and a great ami c varied field. U "The American negro need not go <' to Liberia expecting to find work un- >' less he startis something himself. He (* has the whole country before him in which he may do this, and there will Ibe none to molest his legal operaI ions.'' lie took occasion to refer to the success that is attending T. MeCants Stewart, who some years ago lived iu this city, and was the first negro In " lie admitted to the bar in the state oL'!? New York. Doctor Deputies declared <'i that if Stewart had remained in Liberia Instead of returning to America, ho would have been president of the republic long ago. Unlike most of the ' negroes who advocate negro coloniza- j'' tion of Africa Doctor Deputies made . n no harsh criticism of America. " ii Mis. Krossway's next-door neigh- ' bor had passed away.
