E. H. AULL, EDITOR. Entered at the Postoffice at New ery, S. C.. as 2nd class matter. Tuesday, June S. 1909. C., C. & 0. ROAD. The Herald and News is satisfied that the people of Newberry are will ing and anxious to do anything and everything in their power to induce the builders of the C., C. & 0. road to go via Newberry in the extension of their line from Spartanburg to the coast. If in going to the coast it is decided to go via Columbia, as it probably :will be. it seems to us that it would not require a great deal of induce mert for the road to come via New bery. To go down the Broad river is only a few miles shorter than to come by Newberry and the building of the road by that route as well as the maintenance would be consider ably more and in addition to that there is nothing from Union to -Co lumbia that would be any inducement for the building of the railroad. The special committee from the chamber of commerce hopes to keep in touch with the -authorities and will do anything in its power to induce the aqthorities to come this way, and it is necessary to have the active and hearty cooperation of all the interests in the city. As Mr. Wright suggests we "should lose no time in arranging some syste matic work by which we will be en abled to show the authorities the ad vantage of coming by this important point." Every business interest in Newber ry should get together and throw its interest towards inducing the road; to come this way, and when we get the officials down here everybody must be in position to tell of the advantages of Newberry. -We feel that this is one thing on whieh we can have the united support of all the people of this community. In next Tuesday's paper we will print a short story written by Col. D. A. Dickert entitled "A Wild Ride on the Saltkahatchie.'' We will print from time to time regularly through the next several mo6nths short reminiscences written especially for The Herald and lNews by Col. Dickert,' Everybody should imbibe the com mencement spirit this week and en joy the happy occasion with the young graduates. It will come to them but once. They will soon pass into the stern affairs of life not to pass this way again. Let us all contribute our part + ,make this a happy occa .sion for i em. THE RUTS IN THE ROADS. ,There is a rut in the public road be tween Piercetown and Piedmont. It is not more than six inches deep and twelve inches wide. It was caused by the water collecting on the west side of the road and running across to seek a lower level on the east side. It could be repaired at a cost of fifty or seventy-five cents, but al ~though it has been there for weeks it has not been repaired and it has caused several accidents which have eost a good many dollars. The other day a 1lareg automobile came along this road at a good rate of speed. It dropped into this rut and one of the large springs on the machine was broken. The owner of the inachine had to pay $25 for a new sprmg. A couple of weeks ago an Anderson man drove his automobile into the same rut and the jar broke the glass wind shield on his automnobile. A new one cost him $5. A few days afterward a lady was driving along this road in a buggy. The front wheels of her vehicle dropped into the rut and the single tree snapped. She had to get out, -unhitelb. the horse and wa'lk to a farm house nearly a mile a away to get as sistance., A new single tree will cost several dollars. 'Here ai-e three accidents, whi6h have cost more than thirty dollars, -whiceh have been caused by this one 'rut in one road. The same rut may have eaused other acciden ts that we do not know of. And this rut, mind you, could have been repaired at a os of fify or seventy-five cents; iuhl it could lhire been preveut.ed al-4 toeelai-r iiie i-oad 1jad bee'n I)l'or.d euI wi:. pr* T'r side (rains.

We are t sure the figures would he startdlig if I e could be seeured-Daily 1ail. Ti i 4of co~urse n14ot o especiali I ere t Io the people 4f Newberry County, but the same lesson may be ,implessed here that was sought to be impressed in Anderson by the re counting of these several accidents eaused by this rut in the road. There are ruts in the roads in this county which are causing accidents and cost ing the people who use the roads ] more money every day than it would f cost to fix the ruts. The trouble is I that there are so many ruts and in-j stead of t1he people who are close to them fixing them they are counting on the chaingang doing it. Of course what we ought to do is t iS to get to work and make some real good roads and as far as possible re- I move all the ruts. There are ruts in t, all the roads in this county which I are levying the heaviest tax the peo ple of this county are paying, but it is like the tariff, a sort of indirect t tax, and yet a diret tax and a heavy n one, but it does not come immediately a .out of their pockets in dollars and .cents, but it comes all the same ini the wear of vehieles and stock and the t, loss of time. The best investment the t people could make would be to put P some money in the filling of the ruts a in the roads. e If you can't get permanent roads, t fill the rits. The ruts are costing a p lot of money to the people who travel the roads. They cost you money whether you see it in the breaking of your buggy or your wagon or not. e Don't forget that the ruts in the y roads are levying on you the heaviest h tax that you are paying today and h many of you don't know it. t We extend our sympathy to Mr. R.

I am sure that the city in tends to finish this work some time. but you ar.e right that it is a great I waste of time and money to go about starting and then leaving a piece of 10 work like this. As a resident in 0 Boundary street I wanted to say to g you that we all appreciate your inter- n est and waht you to walk this way I agrain somae time when our street is 3 finisheds and we will show you one of ' the prettiest in tPhe city, but we did t -want it finished before commence- :1 ment, 0, so bad.-A Bonadarystreet- f lite. -- In The Idler is delighted to pass t.his a on to the authorities and to say to 1 Boundarystreetitite that it hopes that Mr. Wieker and his force will get t there soon, but vou must remember that the streets in this eity are some-t what like unto the public roads in dl this county, there is scarcely any ends to them and those of us who live in a other streets want some work done I .too. And the city council is doing its a very level best to please all of us and we are all very un-reasonable at the same time. But all things come to him who waits. And The Idler is just waiting and hoping and saying 1nothing. ht The Idler thinks that there 4ugh1t , :ih yve s: reet hand forces-I ne for . each ward with one general superin- - tendent. You know the tendency in all the cities now is to have every thing organize by wards Yon ha il i1 a iivalry anld gret 11em trVing- at ea St to be 1110 mol(s.t vi'ilanlt inI tirow tIg tire mb1d out of the ditehes and in o the s.t-reets.

That would he ,conoitV. -0 But then you knoW we all know low to do the job bezL!r than the ran who is on it. That is the reason have given my advice so freely and suppose is also the reason why that dviee has been so little heeded. I :now the adviee I give from time to ime is valuable and I think I will ender a bill for it and maybe the ity would think more seriously of it id adopt some of the valuable sug -estions I have made from time to ime. Some fellow will be ready to ay this is egotism, but it is not, it ; just the plain truth, and I am sure ity council and others who have read be many excellent suggestions whic'h have made will agree with me. -0 I hear that there are going to be a ig bunch of candidates for mayor his fall and they are already begin ing to feel around. Now if I were taxpayer or coull vote I certainly rould see to it that some of them 1ade some promises whether they rere ever kept or not. I would want ) know how some of them stood on ie matter of permanent street im rovement to take the place of this bomniable patch work that we have 4 een havi-g 'i this city for tl,e U.zt ntury. I would want to know how iey stood on the wagon yard and arking the public square, and some w other things I would like to know bout. -0 But let us talk about something [se. They tell me that one of the oung girl graduates the other night ad something pleasant to say about he Idler. I wish I could have heard er and I am going to ask the editor > secure that essay and publish .. I ae young lady wi'll permit. It is so afreshing to have s'omething pleas u~d said of Lhe unselfish effo:Us io re being put forth for the good of be community that I would like to se it and hear- how 'it. sounids. I de ire to thank the young lady for her indly greeting, and wish I could ave attended the closing exercises f the graded school, but you must eally excuse me for it is very rare liat I ever gt' out at night. I used Senjoy these things, but now when ight comes I like to be in my room nd there I like to remain. By the way, I am told that this ex rcise on Friday night was one of the est held in Newberry in many a day.' nd I am truly glad it is so for you now we have all sorts of critics here nd it is a real pleasu-'e to hear the. ice things said of tihe young ladies rho took part and who received .di lomas. Yes, diplomas, and they rize them very highly too, and just much as +hey will the o'ts Ihey ill receive from any high class col tge, if any shall be 'so fortunate as > attend any of these colleges. The ddress of Prof. Daniel was a gem. .t least that seems to be tlhe verdict f all who were fortunate enough to ear it. This is a very quiet commencemen't. t seems to me that when I -was ounger the commencement was more ? an event than it is now, but I reck a it is because I have somewhat out rown t:he gayeties of youth and can of imbibe the spirit of youth as once could. But I don 't think so. I feel ist a~s young as I did thirty years feel i I ('an help it I never exp" t elotherwise. Why should we ot stay young any way. If we can ot in years we can in feeling and in tind and heart and that is awhat iakes life. A bright, cheerful mind nda good heart and a kindly speak-1 ag tongue, these are the things to iake you young and "happy even btough you .have lived four score ears as time is counted. Let us all ry the 'experiment of being kindly isposed. full of gooad (deeds, always aying kind and pleasant things bout other people and I am .sure we ill be happier and stay young longer nd live longer and feel better while 'e do live.
