E. H. .'-ULL ,EDITOR. .nteed at the Postoffice at New *y, S. C.. as 2nd class matter. Tuesday, September 21, 1909. COL. DICKERT'S STORIES. Col. D. A. Dickert's story of the Dut-eh Fork. "Solomon or the Red Jacket,' 'has created a great deal of in treest. The first installment of this story appeared in the last issue of The Herald and News and it will be concluded in Friday's issue. Knowing the interest which this story would create, especially in the lower part of Newberry county, and in Lexisgton, and in view of the re union of veterans to be held at Chapin on Friday, a number of extra copies of the last issue were publish ed in order to have the two issues containi-ng the two installments of the story at the Chapin reunion. Not wihtsanding the extra c6pies, how ever, the last issue of the paper has been well-nigh exhausted. and The Herald and News will in its next is sue reproduce the first installment of t,he story, along with the conclusion, and will have a number of copies of the paper at Ahe Chapin reunion for sale. Col. Dickert's thrilling story, "A Dance With Death," being the ex periences of himself and of Mr. Sam Dixon in passing through the Fed eral lines a number of times as the ,bearers of important dispatches dur ing the late War Between the States', which appeared in The Herald and News in serial form, has been repro duced in a pamphlet of some thirty five or forty pages, and this will dlso be on sale at the Chapin reunion. The pamphlet will also be placed on sale at this office. !Col. Diekert will continue to write stories for The Herald and News. His stories are a valuable contribu tien to,the literature and the .history' of South Carolina, and have received favorable comment throughout the country. The Herald and News expects in the near future to issue all of Col. *Diekert's stories up to that time in book form, and they will make a val uable volume. Those of our subscribers who do not wish to miss any of Col. Dickert 's stories should not fail to re'new their subscriptions, and those who are not subscribers should subscribe now. Subscriptions will be taken for any length of time desired: Two months, 25 cents; four months, 50 cents; six months, 75 cents; one year $1.50. CoL Dic.kert 's stories are among the many interesting departments of The Herald and News. We ,believe that we are giving our readers the best semi-weekly newspaper in South *Carolina, and our efforts shall be eon tinuued to that end. We notice from the Greenville pa *pers that there have ,been two or three meetings of th citizens of Laurens and Greenville on -the prospective .highway between Greenville and Co. lumbia, via Laurens and Newberry. The citizens on that entire part of the line seem to be active and interested. We desire simply to- call attentior to the activities on the part of thes( citizens. and to suggest that it would not be out of place at all if some ol day morning and comletely nuliiie all this work. This sort of businesi has been going on in Gaffney fo: 'thirty years and in Cherokee count) for twelve years. If all the money spent on our streets andi roads du.ring that time had been spent on perma nent street and road work Gaffne: would have today not less than fif teen miles of good streets and th< e~ounty not less than tweny-five mile: .a ) 1ood r1"d. A. it is our1 money i: ~ 3e and we havye. what-very od na ry streets and sidewalks and unl: fair dirt roads. lsn't* ii time toie a different system?-Gaffney Ledi Our memory does not go back a The kind o i oad and . i reI wcrci we iave been and are doing couid 4aree ly be dignified as temporary. A gen tleman on one of t.he main roads lead ing to Xewberry said the other day that the work which was done o. this road left it in worse condition than it was before-that is since Mr. Rain has come. There is no calculating the loss to the county and city by this class of work. The Newberry Observe.r is treating the Greenwood Journal real mean, in not answering that question.-Ander son Mail. Possibly the Observer has eonclud ed it is none of the Greenwood Jour nal 's business. EDITOR HUGH WILSON. Although Mr. Hugh Wilson an nounced some time ago that he had retired from the editorship of the Abbeville Press and Banner, he is still contributing to the columns of that paper every week. His mind has mot lost any of its vigot, and his ar ticles are as clear cut and as full of kindly humor as ever. We alwaysejoy reading anything that Mr. Wilson writes, whether we agree with it or not. In fact, we think we will not read the Press and Banner any more after Mr. Wilson quits writing for it. 'The new editors, the Messrs. Bradley, are all right, but the old paper will never be the same without the old editoz.-Andersorn Mail. .So.nehow we feel very much the same way. 'The Messrs. Bradley are fine fellows. We know them both. They are capable. But since we have known the Press and Banner it has been associated with Mr. Hugh Wil son and it has fbeen always one of the papers we missed when it failed to come. We hope Mr. Wilson will continue to write for it. We did not always' agree w;,h him but We al ways enjoyed reading what he wrote. The legisl'ature ought to pass a law to compel people who make up their minds to commit suicide to go ahead and do it without killing other people frst.-Exchange. Of course, there is no reason why all these matters should not be reg ulated and controlled by our legisla ture. This is an opportunity for some budding statesman to make a reputation for himseI. The Chamber of Commerce will do its full duty and if the business men and automobilists will cooperate there will be something doing along good roads lines. President Manning nev er lets any thing good get by Sum ter if he can help it.-Sumter Item. This paragraph will apply with equal force to Newberry, but that big "if'' is always in the way. Pres ident Mfayer, of our -ehamber of com meree, is ready and willing and does what he can but without the coopera tion of the business men it is a hard jib for one man to accomplish much, "If'' our business men and automo bilists woul ?neooperate'' we might get the Greenville-Columbia road in good condition. The business men and au tomobilists 'of Greenville and Lau rens are at work, but we have heard no noise in Newberry which sounded like anything was doing. What is the matter?
