Letter rrom Citizen of Edgefield as I to the Proposed Line.-Wants to Come to Newberry. The Herald and News takes the fol Iowing extract from a personal let- s ter, which the editor received from a t prominent citizen of Edgefield, touch- s ing the proposed trolley or railroad n between Newberry, via Saluda to S Edgefleld and Augusta. We are sat- E isfied that it will be read with inter- a est by our people, and it shows that at least a portion of the people of b Edgefield, and we believe a majority p of them, desire that the road shall be a extended to Newberry. The Herald and News will have to 1i take issue with its Edgefield friend, p how%ver. oil this point. Newberry is d as much a seat of commercial and in- m dustrial progress as either Green- t] wood or Chester, and is as large in g population as either one of these ci- t ties. They both have the advantage, i, however, in the matter of railroad facilities, being located on trunk lines. "In reference to the proposed rail- w way or trolley between Edgefield via t< Saluda and Newberry-Newberry has ai furnished in the past and is now n; supplying her proper share of public- I spirited and broad-minded men. The fi great good works that the Hon. John Ic B. O''Neall did during his life was an honor to the states. He was not only an ornament to the bench, a brilliant writer and historian, and a noble ex ample for temperance, but I dare say he never did a more permanently ci beneficial work-, than the construction ai of the railroad whose every depot in E your county is now the centre of prosperity. When I look around in la the state at such seats of commercial et and industrial progress as Green- h< wood. Chester, Spartanburg and Greenville, whose lands are not as ei fertile as Newberrv or Edgefield, I vi feel constrained to say that I do not ei think Newberry has in the past made tl a proper use of her possibilities and C, has allowed certain tides of success tl to be diverted to other fields, which if bi they had been taken at the flood, pi would have led her to a higher plane a of advantage. "Please do not think I would be- fe little ;what Newberry has done, and se is doing, but we call aloud to our ab- ti ler brother county to give us a hand p and help herself by helping us and 11] Saluda, who is our off-spring. e "I have read with pleasure your , able articles in The Herald and News, ti and also the communications of Mr. c, J. K. Aull, whose official duties have ai carried him to Saluda and who often is visits Edgefield, and I am pleased at m the names of, the progressive and hon- e orable citizens who have been ap pointed to confer with Saluda and Edgefield-I know these men to be doers and not dreamers or mere talk ers, and the parties named in Saluda P' are also very practical business men. t "There is a graded road bed all B the way from Augusta to Newberry. via Edgefield and within only a few m mie of Sala~da and it could easily b.' graded from near Richardsonville to Saluda and the people have to be di taxed for this work and it is on their land.f "Mr. Mitchell started to build a a narrow gauge, you remember, and it was bottled up and claims to be in control of the Southern Railway but a] belongs to the people. "You have heard the old story about Sam Mabry and the hotel keep er here years ago. Mabry was a witty but inpecunious lawyer and had got behind in paying his board. The hotel proprietor found him sitting in the O* piazza one day at the hotel reading t the papers. He explained to him that 1' he had to pay rent, 'butcher's bills. b: &e., and added: 'Now to be very frank with' you, Mr. MIabry, I just le can't affprd to run a hotel unless my guests pay up.',f " Mabry put on a face as grave and serious as a Roman Senator and e remarked: 'Yes, my friend, land lord, you know I hav'e been thinkingW of this very same matter, and my ad vice to you is that if ycu can't af ford to run this business, you had better sell out to some man who canh afford it.'b "The people along the line of this ti road bed from Edgefield to Newberry ri have been very generous and long- ~ suffering. My own back yard is cut a up and a big bank of dirt piled up so i as to ruin the lot. Back of Edgewood, I the Governor Pick-ens place just out e of town where B. R. Tillman, Jr., f lives, there is a long cut 'in some places 25 feet deep, and thus all along, unfitting large belts of land ei for any other purpose but to build a p railroad bed on. We have waited a gi long time on those whose duty it was a] to build it, but whose interest is not pl to doit a nd now I think Newberry. tc NEW PHONE LINE. 'o Connect the Dead Fall and Utopia Sections with Newberry-Biuld ing Good Line. The plhone line, which was agitated i)metimes ago to Silver Street and L Utopia section has now taken hape and work has already com ienced.

As long as physicians continue te ire and do not try to prevent, they , -e not doing their duty.-Dr. J. M. 1 ibler, of Newberry. This is just exactly why we said I st week that no stronger invitation o iuld possibly be extended to the t >me-seeker, no greater assurance i ven, than that the physicians of a c ty are banded together for the pre- f mntion of disease. The evil-disposed a tizens' are ready to believe that t ere are doctors who do not try or x re for the prevention of disease, as c e more sickness the more doctor f I1s. One can readily see that un- I incipled medical doctors would be curse to any spot on earth. When e eh a prominent member of the pro- 3 ssion as Dr. Kibler makes the as-- i rtion that physicians are not doing s eir duty when they do not try to revent disease, an humble ila'man i: se ourself may be allowed to help in 1 reulating the truth. Staridirijp by a hat we said last week, we repeat a at, with the exception of a- conse- c ated minister of any denomination, S i able and conscientious physician i of more value and benefit to a corn- I unity than any man in it.-Laur- a isville Herald.

I 'Edgdfild has always produced en of big brains and und,aunted i urage, but the trouble about our E stinguished men, and I am proud - their illustrious achievements, the ouble is they have not always di cted their energies in a way that 'ings permanent blessings. To be ank, if our gifted sons had devoted ~ ss time to polities and more to the 2 ~nstruction of railroads, cotton ills and other enterprises less fleet- ' g and inore profitabi? than the pty honors of ambition in the uitless path of polities, our county ould not today find herself bound. by railroads, and not one aeross te country. 'I am proud of Edgefield. I love r fertile soil made sacred by the mes of my igloved dead, and am not ying to belittle her bright and noble , ord, but we have not kept pace y ith other counties and it comes from ~ bad start, when some old fogy cit ens here would not allow the Char tte, Columbia and Augusta road to mie by here because it would inter re with the children at school, and t ighten the horses! -t 'But I am sure that our Edgefield f tiens are now aroused to the imn- a >rtance of the situation and the ~eater preference is for the route a ong by Saluda to join your fair and a osperous city.
