Langford's hand some Ford Roadster the editor left Newberry on Sunday morning for a trip to our home in Greenwood coun ty with Capt. Langford at the steer ing wheel. The air was pleasant and bracing and the little roadster was on her mettle and clipped 'em at from ten to fift-.ii miles an hour with ease and giace. We went up the Belfast road as far as Longshore's store and then up t-he Chappells road via Mr. J. S. D iniek's and around by the Wells place and down by the Boaz man place and out by Mr. G. T. Reid's to the railroad bridge over Saluda. The road from Newberry to Long shore's is not in as good condition D it was some weeks ago when we came with the Journal-Herald ears to New berry. There are many holes that need attention and from Longshore's to Mr. Dominick's the road is terribly bad most all the w;. At Little River it took a good car to come through. Tihe road from Mr. R. S. Boazman's to the Saluda river seems to- be trav eled but little and is in worse condi tion than it was twenty-five years ago. In fact it has the appearance of not having had any ,work at all for the past quarter of a century, but we went through without any trouble. At the railroad bridge is a place that needs attention. We have the promise that the mudhole immediately under t-he railroad will be worked by some of -the citizens on the Greenwood side. After you strike Greenwood there is evidence of recent work on the Toads and even the hill up from. the river is in good condition and after.L you reach the top of the hill the roads are in good condition as far as we went in Greenwood county. We tray-d eled the road as far as Ninety Six creek three and a half miles from d .Ninety Six. We know Vhe road from there to Greenwood is a fine road. d We made the trip from Newberry h to Mr. J. L. Aull 's, a -distance of 28 4-10 miles by the route traveled, in two hours and forty-five minutes a even with the roads we had to en- h< counter.-.tb Returning we came by the railroad ' bridge and -through what we were told ke is a public road via the Simpkins' te place into the ChappeIls road right at Chappells. Why any one would send el us by t'his road it is hard to tefl for hc the supervisor was not with us that dr he might see the condition of some roads that are called public highways- Ibh Now sending us around by Islan .1 y Ford was airight 'because it gave t.he ho supervisor opportunity to inspect the roads which 'he might not have hah l during his term of office. This road -tic by the Simpkins' place is almost im- in passable. The road from Chappells ~a back to Newberry by .Cross Roads p church, the Williams place and the ed~ Long Bridge is in good condition and i about as good road as you will,find in-b Newberry. If at Dr. Holloway 's we. tio had turned to the right going and Ge tihen to the left at the school house tio and taken t,hat route to the river we an would have discovered probably the to best average road leading from New- s'tr berry to the Greenwood county line. -Br< The crops seem to be in fairly good an! condition and are looking well. The tas cotton has plenty of weed and ispr growing very rapidly and the farmers as are greatly encouraged in the last Br! few days over the prospect. The corn wil generally is fine. Mr. Dick Neel has ion some corn just outside the city that eve is the best by far that we shave seen. stic It is better, we believe, than that of his Mr. E. R. Hipp, about which 'we spoke raid4 some time ago. Mr. Neel also has -T some fine cotton. Mr. J. H. Chappell t-hir has some cotton that ought to yield in rmre than a bale to the acre and that ~s a p.rei: good yield. lHe has somne looking well. Henry Fe.llers has some E Hiiipp'..phic i,*, i )i. Th erop I s in th is. cotury1 are rou ni : wonider : 1- tWt i* ' folks at home in Greenwood county, had breakfast, ate lunch and made several stops on the return trip and were at home in Newberry at two o'clock. The roads in this county are not receiving the attention they should have. Some of them have not been worked in years and nearly all of them are scarcely wide enough for one track, and many of them look like paths that are simply marked out. The people have quit working them altogether and t1he chain gang scat ters around and do.es not accomplish much. It is a great pity we cannot get our people more aroused to the importance of road improvement. We have preached the doctrine of .;ood roads for many years, but it takes more than preaching to get any roads. In fact it takes money and muscle. In Greenwood county practically all of the road working is done by the chain gang but it is done systematically. The gang -is divided into two or more squads and each has several mules, a serape and probably some otiher nec essary implements for road working, and all the main roads leading from the county seat are working out to the county line and they are gone over I probably twice a year and are put in good condition, being raised in the middle and drained well with ditches on either sids. Very little permanent work is done in this way but the roads are at least kept in fairly good con dition all the year. ,The hands are aot warned out but so far as we have 6 )bserved the roads are worked with a 'he chain gang. That is better t'han eeping the chain gang working on )ridges and running from place to Aace to fix little crossways. We just as well conclude if we are ver to have any roads in this county we have got to put up the money and ay for them and it is no use to ta}k ood roads .unless we are willing to o that. We hope, however, for a brighter ay in the matter of better roads. It the one thing needed in the rural istricts and the one thing that will elp to improve the condition of the'" eople who live in the country. th If the road from here to Ohappells ~ id on, to the river bridge had, a few 19 >les filled which could be done witib fo. e use of the King Road drag it tic ould be a good road and .could be ~pt a good road with very little at- er ntion.. It would pay the' people sui io live along the road and who tray- am it every day to combine and fill thejNe les and then make a few of these pr ags and .use.them when it is too 9 ele e to plow and they could easily in o is way have a good road all the wh ar round. Will they do it? Let us ele peso. lo~ ________________con It seems that the Georgia prohibi- th nists were a little too intemperate for the matter of seeking pledges from bal adid.ates in the gubernatorial cam- pris ign in which Joe Brown was eleet- jthe governor of Georgia.
