E. H. AULL, EDITOR. Entered at the Postoffice at New terry, S. C., as 2nd class matter. Tuesday, December 1, 1JOS. '"THE DARK CORNER.". The well known Washington cor respondent and writer, Zach 'Mc Ghee, is soon to issue a novel deal ing with the great educational prob lems in this State and elsewhere, and it is safe to say that it will be interesting to the people of this county. The title of the work is "The Dark Corner," and it might designate any of the thinly settled sections of the South. It is teem ing with interest from first to last, having a delicate touch of pathos throughout. It will undoubtedly arouse discussion as to the many school problems the country school teacher is subject to. It is a novel with a purpose-clearly'defined and absolute. The writer is a well known man of this State who is making Washington his home and his work will undoubtedly have a large sale. It will be on sale in this county at the prominent stores where books are handled. and it will make an excellent Christmas gift-one whIch will not only charm the recipient, but will interest the reader. It is a novel without a "carpet bag villian," and withont a "skin flint" from the East; it is South ern-Southern from the point of view that it has its setting down South, but it can be applied to any section where the country school teacher or the city school teacher lives. The book is published by the Grafton Press, New York City. 0.0. & 0. WILL RUN LINE TO NEWBEREY. A question of much interest in * Spartanburg at this time is what route the Caroline, Clinchfiel'd and Ohio will take out of this city to wards the south. It is known that 3ines have been run out of here to * wards Broad river, and down that stream to Columbia. Now it is report ed that engineering -parties will .e started from this city to put a line between Spartanburg and Newberry. It is said this line will pass through much good and undeveloped country. It is generally accepted now that the C. C. & 0. will build its own line south-Spartanburg Herald. Newberry should be alert and look after this matter. Some time ago a committee was appointed to confer with the authorities of this road look ing to its coming this way. If the ob * jeetive point is Augusta and the road comes to Union Newberry is on an air line and the road would come by Whitmire, Newberry, Saluda and Edgefield. ) This wound open a fine country greatly in need of railroad facilities. Besides it would reach several very good coaling stations. It has been understood that for the present the tracks of C. & W. C would be used to get out of Spartanburg but this state ment from Spartanburg is to the ef fect that the intention of the com pany is to build its own road. Rev. E. 0. Watson, secretary of the Methodist conference, whieh is in session in Laurens offered a reso lution yesterday to put the church organ, The Southern Christian Advo cate, in the homes of the Methodist free, and that the conference pay for it. What is the matter with our good brother? Does he want our church paper put on the same footing with "Comfort?"' If the Advocate is worth taking out of the office, it is certainly worth paying for-Sumter Herald. We do not understand the proposi tion of Dr. Watson to be to put the paper in the hands of each family free but to make an assessment on the membership equal to the subscription price of the paper printed at cost so that it might be sent to each Metho dist family in this State. It would be an altogether differ ent proposition from "Comfort'' and would not depend upon advertise ments for it.s maintenance. THE LINOTYPE MACHINE. We clip the following from the Florence Times. which has just put in a Linotype machine: "Our good Brother Wolfe stands ready to offer congrat.ulationls or syrnpathy. as we may require, on the Linotype. We appresiate thie good spirit of our friend. So far, we feel that it is to be congratulations, but you never know. we are having our troubles as well as our triumphs.'" For. the en couragement of The Times we will say that The Times and Democrat has been using a Linotype machine for nearly two years, and we could not get along without it. In the hands of an expert it is a thing of beauty and a joy forever. The Times and Democrat's machine is operated by a gentleman who is an expert at hand ling them.-Orangeburg Times and Democrat. We have had one of these machines for nearly five years and would not like to be without one and do not see how we could get along without one since we have become accustom ed to it and we have lost very little *me with it during that time. In fact not more than two days at any time and only once or twice then but when it does get a part broken you must just wait until you ca.n get a dupli cate from the factory. We had that experience last week. Those experiences will come to all one machine offices. But it is a great p machine and we could not manage U without it. Mr. J. T. Bingham in his "Adieu" in the last issue of the Chester Lan tern says: "But one of my chief regrets is that, in the language of a certain neglected boy when arraigned in court, "I ain't never had no chance" -to do myself or the paper justice editorially. I have always craved an opportunity, if for only a short while, to edit a newspaper, without being all the time overwhelmed with business management and the multitude of other demands that claimed my whole time, making editorial work a mere - incident and requiring the writing to be done often under the most unfav orable conditions. I regret also that - there are a thousand things which .I had in mind to say that remain un said. But possibly it is better so." We have often felt the same regret. It may be that we could not have done any better but some, how the i country editor who has everything to look after frequently has to have his mind on how to collect a few dol lars while laboring to write his edi torials and important locals and we have always felt that if we had only the writing to do that we mighit make "" a better paper. At any rate, like Mr. A Bigham, we would like to try itA The last issue of the Chester Lan- it tern contains the "Adieu'' of Editor_ J. T. Bigham. He has sold thle Lan tern to Messrs. W. F. Caldwell and J. F. Latimer. Mr. Bigham has been in the news paper business for a good many years and under his guidance the "" Lantern has prospere.i. 'It has been a clean and high toned newspaper sl- - ways standing for the right. We shall 0 miss Mr. Bigham fromn the annual gatherings of the editors. In his re tirement we wish him every success. We wele.a:e the new man:3gement. M~r. Caldwell has been with the News Li and Courier and is a bright young A: man. Mr. Latie:r is a pract':-al La printer and 61 'combi'n-tion shln)d A: make a stronkg team. The Lan4ern was one of the first LA papers in the State t.> get. Out a ei weekly isue A' Before any permanent improve- Li ments of streets and sidewalks were A: started the city should have employ- A ed an engineer to have charge of the A work. Tt is not too late yet. I -It ia economy in construction to tv have some one in charge who knows N, and in addition the work would be T] done to the advantage of the city. In A doing permanent work we' should F3 look to the future even if it should cause a little present and temporary p, inonvenience. We hope coneil will ot take hold of this suggestion. m Several committees from city coun cil and the chamber of commerce were very act.ive about. a year or more ago on the widening of several streets in the fire district. If they have been widened we have failed to ob serve it. It will be too late if post poned too. long. If the Civic Association will go tool work and secure the coop4ration of the city officials our public squareT can be made a beautiful park. Why not go to work and secure a wagon ard off tVhe public square and let the o public square be turned into a park. The 'chamber of commerce had the b matter of a wagon yard up some time ago but we have heard nothing of it PI for some while. What has heen donec? Will some S body tell. Or is it a secret.
