E. H. AULL, EDITOR. Entered at the Postoffice at New Serry, S. C., as 2nd class matter. Tuesday,. May 11, 1909. THE C., C. & 0. ROAD. Mr. August Kohn, the Colunibia correspondent of the News and Cour ier. has recently taken a trip over the C., C. & 0. road or that portion of it that has been opened for traffi. From Spartanburg to Bo.;ti, City, a distance of 31 miles, has not yet been completed. The road from Bos tic City covers a distance .f nearly 300 miles, and rapid progress is be ing made on the section from Bostic City to Spartanburg. and it is ex pected to have this part openeJ by early fall. It was stated in the Spartanburg Journal of Saturday in a special from Laurens that the C., & W. C. from Spartanburg to Laurens had been leased, and would be uied1 by the C., C. & 0. from Spartaaburg io Laurens. and that a force would be put to work on this div;sio.1 in the near future to prepare it for the heavy trains that are to be operated by the C., C. & 0. This report could not te eonfirmed on Satur.ay as Mr. Clevelant was not in Spar,,nburg. The C., C. & 0. road is probably one of the best constructed that has ever been completed or underiaken in the South and in fact no road has ever been constructed in a more sub stantial way. The dispatch from Laurens in re gard to the lease from the C. & W. C. stated that it had not been determin ed whether the C. & W. C. would be used from Laurens to Port Royal, and Port Royal made the terminal, or whether traffic ar:rangements would be made with the C., N. & L. into CouNbia, and the A. C. L. into Charleston, or whether tehe C., C. & 0. would build from Laurens. Mr. Kohn in speaking of this part of his trip and the probability of the extension of the road from Spartan burg says: "Perhaps many would like to know whether the Clinehfleld road is to build its main line to Columbia, and from here go on to Charleston. This particular letter was intended to deal with the actual construction and to state that there is today an ex cellent train service between Dante and Bostic, a.nd that by the close of the year the Clin.ehfleld trains will be running into Spartanburg. "it has taken millions and millions of dollars to build and equip the Clinehfield road over its present route of 288 miles. It is known that the management of the Clinchfield road want to go to Charleston, that is their hope and their ambition. .Mr. Powell and Mr. Ream and Mr. Carter all appreciate and realize what it will mean to their road to have their main line run into Char leston and there get in touch with the ocean transportation. They want to come by way of Columbia, but they are likely to stop and catch breath when they get through with the work to Spartanburg. "'The expert engineers and the ex pert economists have advised the construction to the Atlantie coast, and that the road should go to Char leston. The company now owns wat er frontage in Chiarleston, and in time will get there, but such things take time. " There may be certain compelling contingencies that will bring about the more imnrediate construction of the line proper into Columbia and Charleston. but the likelihood is that for the present at least traffic ar rangemnents will be made. and how long this will respond to the needs f'th re coa-aringfl road, w~iis high ideals or what a load ought to be. remainS to be seen. The question which the people of Newberry are interested in is w hethi er this road will go via Columbia to Cha.rleston. Of course, if it goes to Laurens and is coming from there to Columbia we will be :right in line. The committee from the chamber of commerce will try to get in touch with the authorities and endeavor to el anythijng that (.as be donre to have the riKad (.ome( this way. A styp to-dyn.

Minus and President Mell was a teniplerallental ditfe.reuce. Of VORINC Vous 1yu now what that llicals. Senator Tillman illustrated his mean ing by saving that you had frequent ly seen two iorse!s that would not work togetier )ut would pull single alright. That being the case. of cotulrSe one of them should have got ten out. There seems to have been a lot of temiperanetital differences at Clemson first and last. -0 It seems from what I have .read of the writing of Trustee Mai that there are other temperamental differ eneves at Clemson and I suppose they will have the attention of the full board at th-e annual meeting. -0 That trouble at ClintoU with the base ball teams was unfortunate. I am sorry that Clinton correspondent of the Lau:rens Advertiser wrote as he or she or it did. I do not believe our Newbery boys precipitated or started -any trouble because they are not built that way. I am not an en thusiast on base ball but I believe in fair play and justice. The reply of Profs. Goggans and Riser was dig nitied and manly. Well, I hope it is all over now and that good fellow~ ship will rettrn. -0 The city coucil has passed Tie trash ordinance. Tha.t is another one to the credit of the Civie association. Now for its enforcement. That is up to council. The streets in many plae es are in fearful condition. --- Have you seen Willowbrook park? It is a beauty. The name is pretty but too long. The idler does hope this private enterprise and public spirit will wake up Mayor Langford and council to put a nice little park over on this side. There are a num be,r of places wihere ofne could be lo cated. The Idler wants you to hurry up for I want some cool and shady place to roam and to meditate. Sur-e ly a whole city can and will keep pace with the work of a corporation in the matter of beautifying and ad orning the city. We ought to' have two or three parks on the east side. --- The trustees have elected the su perintendent and teachers for the school but they can't decide on tire lot. Well, that is a very important matter. if they get the wrong teach er, a change can be made but once a lot is seleeted it will take a long time to be able to change and then it would be made at a great -cost. Be sure you are right and then go ahead. And a few dollars should not keep the trustees from deciding the best place and the most suitable place. Some of the citizens of Newberry have suggested that tihe Farmers Oil mill should have a distributing point for ice up town. The Idler thinks the suggestion a good one and desires to pass it on to Mr. John H. Wicker. Everybody in. Newberry buys ice from this factory and they make good ice. Everyone is proud to be able to use Newberry made ice and I am satisfied that Mr. Wicker wants to serve the best interests of all the people of the community. It fre quently ha.ppens that some one want.s a small quantity of ice and cannot always get it as the wagon passes. The Idler. "A Dance With Death." Laurens Herald. Under the above caption. Col. D. A. Dickert is writing a thrilling story of an important but perilous mission upon which he was sent. ac companied by an army comrade, as bearers of dispatches from the a-rmy on the Santee, under Gen. Hardee (who had evacuated Charleston and all thle coast defenses.) to the rem nant of Hood's Army. (supposed to besmewhere in Gleorzi) & in un rQ c-ommand of (Gen.
