The Herald and News has con ained from time to time some criticisms of the streets and side walks of New berry, and our special writer, The Idler, has from time to -time had s6me strictures upon the way the streets and side walks were kept. We take it these matters were writ ten about to call attention to things thaa were needed rather than in a spirit of criticism. in justice to the city council and the superintendent of st.reets. it should be stated that dur ing this year a great deal of perma nent work has been done, and the streets and sidewalks in High Point and in the property recently opened up by the company which purchased ithe Jones property, have been worked and put in fairly good condition. This work has been done in addition to the regular and permanent work and without an increase in the funds. Heretofore, ithese new streets have bad practically no attention, and the grass and weeds have been cut with a reaper. E should be remembered that there are some eighty miles of streets and Side walks in Newberry. and the town is trying to keep t:hese up and at the same time do -the permanent work -with a force of about for-teen hands, and a part of this force is used in .driving the carts. The fact is, we are now trying to keep up -the streets of Newberry with the same force that was employed ten or twelve years ago when it had about one-half the mileage, and as Alder man Baxter stated the other nigiht, 'without very much increase in the revenue. As a matter of fact our streets and side walks will compare favorably with those of any city of sniiar size. The fact remains, however, that we need more force on the streets and more money spent on them. With the force at 'work and 'the means em ployed, it is but just.ice to say that good results 'have been o,btained. * THE NEW SCHEDULES. The meeting of 'the speciai com mittee in Greenville Tuesday with -representatives of the Southern Rail wa looking to an adjustmnemv of the schedules and an improvement of service, resulted in carrying out the suggestions heretofore made by The Herald and News. The rairoad officials stated ':hat it would be impossible, owing to the in creased expense. 'to put on a third train over the Sout;hern, between Columbia and Greenville. This committee was etrongly in favor of a third train. Agreement was made with the rail road 'to change the schedule so as to conform to 'the suggestions advo1-ated heretofore by The Herald and News. The train which now leaves Green 'ville at 9:30 a. in.. known as No. 18, will leave GreenvEile about 7 in the morning, passing Newberry about 10:30 and reaching Columbia abou't 12:30. .Tibere will be no change in the train which now leaves Columbia at 1 p. mn., known as No. 11. passing Newberry at 2:48 p. mn. and arriving at Greenville at 6:55 p. m. The train leaving Columbia at 7:15 a. mn., known as No. 15, and reaching Newberrv at 8:57. will maintain the same schedd~le. but will carry a sleep er through from Charleston to Green ville. arrivmng at Greenville at '12 :30 p. mn.. instead of 1:15 as at present. This train will carry a sleeper through from Chai4leston. Train No. 16 whidh now leaves Greenville at 4:20 will leave Green-' vi!e at 5:15 p. mn., and arrive at Co lumbia at 10:30 p. m..which will make it pass Newberry about 8:30 p. mn., the schedule of this train having been shortened. It wxill allso cairry a sleeperur from G reenville to t'harleis TheI train which f Iha' beenoe1in bet ween Greenville and Belton. will run through t Greenwood, givmg three trains a day eaeli way between Greenville and Greenwood. This arrangement seems to us to be about the best way we could expect the trains to be fixed, and so far as Newberrv is concerned.we believe will give entire satisfaction. It will permit our friends as far up as Greenwood to come to Newberry to do their shopping and return the same afternoon, and we cannot see how it will be any disadvantage to any one from Greenwood to Greenville. On the contrary, it ought to be a de cided advan,tage because it gives them two additional trains a day. It is stated that this schedule will be pu.t in operation at once. This will give us through sleeping car service between Greenville and Charleston. It ahso gives close connection at Greenville from and to Atlanta. We think it a good adjustment. When the heavy rail is put down and the road bed improved the sahd. uies can be tightened up a little. If this talk of curtailment of spin dles is the result of over-production of cotton gooJs, why should there be any new mills being built. Would it not be better to keep the old mills running than to build new ones only to have them run on part time. Is it not a fact that .cotton goods have ad vanced in price in the last few weeks? Is it or is it not true that the mills were making from 20 to 40 per cent when cotton was selliig at ten and eleveu cents? Is it not true that as the price of cotton advances the price of the manufactured article ad vances ? Would it not be just as well with the manufacturer if he paid a price for the raw material that was profitable to the producer and at the same time made a good profit on the manufactured article? Would it not be the same? Then why should our Southern cotton mill men be always on the hbear side of the market ? We have never under stood this. They are talking about Mr. J. L. Glenn for mayor of Chester. The peo ple of that progressive city have no better man in their midst for this honorable position. and if they can get hrim to take the job they had bet ter cinch it at once. He is a fn fellow an-d a high-toned gentleman. Clemson College has received from the privilege tax of twenty-five cents per~ ton on fer''lizer 'during the past year, .$189.500. 75. This is the largest amotnt ever turned into Clemson College from this source. If this money could be divided between Clemn son and Winbrop, as it ought to be, it would be sufficient to support both inis!tautions without 'an appropria tion from the legislature for Win throp. We see that Dr. Cook. the discov erer of the North Pole, is fio be in Columbia somtime between now and lChrustmas. How about fixing a date for him to lecture in Newberry? ATTENTION SUBSORJBERS.

Superintendent Wilbur of New berry mills has been bragging when lie got away from home in whic&h e-ase he might be excused, or he has been telling tales out of school. He went Iup to New England and told the folks up 'here that the Southern cot ton mills were declaring big dividends right along and that their stock was way up. He might have talked to the ..apitaliss in that way if lie wanted to get nmore money for othler South Caroi na mills, a m he could ha bee exeu-.ed. He might have jnmA beeni nry\ingI to sho0w how much{ bet.ter 1bi couttrv was than that in whi ch case peLl up wheii he talked to tihe news papers. for :hey prited it and iT got hack home. and the other mill men are hastening to assert that they have not been mailing so mucn money. The farmers got hold of the interview anid it looked to them as if the mill men might afford to pay a little more for the cot!,on. It looked as if all the profits of the business were going to the mills, and the farmer had a right to ask embarrassing questions.so that Wilbur story must be contradicted and his plumes pulled down, a little. an'd his plumes pulled down a littrle: -Florence Times. We are inclined to think Mr. Wil bur was -talking facts. It may not shave been prudent for him to have done so. We heard some one say the otherday that-be knew of only one mill that had made forty per cent. but if one made that big -a dividend Mr. Wilbur must have known what he was talking about. It is a fact that the mills have malde money and we are all proud of it and every one, wheth er a stockholder or not, wants to see them continue to prosper because it helps -no one for any enterprise to fail. At the same time the mills should nolt try to bear the price of cotton when every one knows there is a short crop. Why not bull the cloth market. The November Designer.
