OUR STREETS.
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?

Eii:.her of two things have happen
ed. 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.
The Designer is pu,blishing a series
of aiiieles concerning the work of
the - various great organizations of
women, and in the November number
Helen Corrinne Hambridge makes a

perance Union which is most illumi
ig. It is -mt generally known.

how the plague was prevented from
spreading in San Francisco when she
