Friday, January 10, J90S.
At a mooting of tJic? citizens ot
.Aiken, which was cnllud by the sena*
tor and members of I lie house from
that county, a proposition to abolish
the oflieo of county supervisor and
divide (lie county into districts, each
district to elect a commissioner who
"together would const'ilule (he hoard
?t county commissioners, was c.nvlorswl.
This is Hi,, same plan practically
'winch is being agitated by some of
the people of IJ i i s county ami we understand
that a petition is being ?'ot'???
up asking ||,e delegation fro,,.
I?s conuly I,, abolish ||,e office of
county supervisor and devolve Hie
duties of that otlic,' upon three eouu1.v
commissioners very much after (lie
plan which was of fore.- before the
const it i,l ion of IS!).",.
The idea seems )? that i,nd.>r
sueli a system we cmtlrl have belter
loads, (lie three eouimiissioners having
heller opportunity to look after
1<>e work of the roads. It matte.-s
"Hie what plan may be adopted, unless
some provision is made for the
raising of more money there will be
little chance for any improvement in
our public highways.
The rjreenvillo Hoard of Trade has
adopted resolutions asking' tire legislature
to submit to the people of "the
state and amendment to Article 10,
<>f the constitution of South Oarolina
of I00r>, by adding a section to that
viiLicle to b'e known as Section Id,
and to read as follows:
"The legislature may vest the corporate
authorities of cities, towns
and villages with power to make local
street and s'idewalk improvement';
b.v special taxation of contiguous
property or otherwise."
If this amendment should be adopted
by the legislature ami then approval
by the people in the general election
this year the purpose of the
<ireenville Hoard of Trade is to ask
the legislature at the succeeding session
to ciwwt a law which will
vide (I) That property owners o.,
each side, of the street if may be
sought to improve, may be assessed
one-third, 1 ??< city, town or village to
pay the remaining hvo-thirds. (\>)
J hat such properly owners shall be
ftiven five years in which to pay their
rent (M) That no iniprovenie;its shall
be made under the amendment upon
any street without the consent of twoit
hirds of the property-owners on such
si reel.
In other words the purpose in t'hese
changes- in our laws seems to be to
accomplish .just what we tried to accomplish
in Newberry by the consent
of the property owners when it was
surested Chat (hat section of Caldwell
street from Friend street to
(Main street be paved and that the
'property owners of either side pay
for the materiial in proportion to the
extent of their property along the
street and the city would pay for the
work. All of the property owners
<a,nieed to this except one. Of course
that, one objection kept the work from
'being done.
W hat we desire to see in Newberry
is a beginning made in the mailer of
tdivel paving and if we could get only
a small section of street thai is constantly
used in any pari of the city
ipavcd as it should be, there would be
very little difficulty fn having the
work extended and all properly own ftis
and taxpayers would be willing
1o have i| done because (bey would
vealizv thai it would be a good investment.
II Main street could be widened
from the depot |o the public septa re
nbout ten feel and then paved from
the depot up to Mr. Sonneuberg's
?baker\, including the public sfpiare
and I lie si reels adjacent for one or
t'wo blocks, it would be o:?e of five
greatest steps' forward Ilia(. Ibe cily
could make and greater than any that
Jias been made in its history. It would
U'ive strangers a favorable impression
ol tin1 city and would be some
indication ol the progress which we
are making.
In spile of tho fad that
we are not making the public, improvement
that we should, Newberry
is growing more rapidly and more
substantially in every way than any
:>\\i (,'ty 'n Ibis slate, but we certainly do
need something done to improve our
streets and sidewalks and the money
that has been spent Tor the last few
years in an attempt at working the
|h; tvlreels is practically wasted.
We hope that city council during
this year will put whatever money is
spent upon the streets in permanvr.il
\ work.

How is Your Digestion,
Mrs. Mary Dowling of No. 228 8th
Ave., San Francisco, recommends a
remedy for stomach trouble. She
says: "Grntitudo for the wonderful
c/Teet of Electric Bitters in a cose of
acute indigestion, prompts this testimonial.
I am fully convinced that
for stomach and liver troubles Electrict
Bitters is the best, remedy on
the market today." This groat tonic
and alterative medicine invigorates
the system, purifies the blood and is
especially helpful in all forms of female
weakness, fide, at W. E. Pelham

"experiments made at this station show that well yjM
