E. H. AULL, EDITOR. Entered at the Postoffice at New berry, S. C.. as 2nd class matter. Tuesday, ".arch 8, 1910. Citizen suggests to the supervisor -to call a meeting of the road over seers and township inspectors to be held, at Newberry some time soon, to discuse methods and plans for working roads. The suggestion is a good one and we hope Supervisor Feagle will take up the suggestion and issue the call and have a rous ing meeting. It would be a good thing for the chamber of commerce -to cooperate with the supervisor and try to have an enthusiastic gather ing. Of course we all know it takes more than meetings and discussions and enthusiasm to build! roads. But if you can once get the enthusiasm and the determination to have the roads the other things will come. We do not believe we are getting the results that we ought from the resources. We now have a chain gang of 30 fo 40 conviets and from 4,000 to 6,000 persons liable to road idkuty and $7,000 from the one mill road tax should give better results ard better roads than we have. The trouble is the work is not in telligently done and it is done with out system and' without regard to any permant road making. The need is to have some system in making roads and by conferring together good can but result. Let -there be a rousing big meeting. Every fire is but piling up argu ment in favor of having one or two at least, paid firemen on dkity at night. Fires usually occur in the early morning hours. The few dol lars it takes to pay a couple of fire men is consumed in a few minutes when a fire breaks out. No doubt there will be some kicker to say we are not able, we are not ready, or it is a useless expense. ME. B. FRANK SAMPLE DEAD. Was County Superintendent of Ed ucation of Saluda County. Death Occurred in Newberry. Mr. Benijamin Franklin Sample died in this city last Friday, at the home of his son, Mr. Jas. C. Sample, in College street.

"In one of the worst London fogs," said an Englishman, "an old friend of mine tried to find his way from Trafalgar square to the Savoy, where he had an engagement to dine. ",The sulphurous air made the eyes smart and the head ache, and it ,brought on terrific fits of coughing. You could not literally see- your 1hand before your face. There was a I continual crashing i: of windows, bells jangled, vehicles and foot pas sengers collided, and shrieks and oaths arose. "Threading his way in the midst of this pandemonium through the Strand, as he supposed, from Land-t seer's lions to the waiting dinner at the Savoy, my old friend, to his great bewilderment, soon found him self descending a broad stairway. He put his hand to the -balustrade. Yes,. a broad and stately stairway with a rail of carved stone. Amazing! "Suddenly in his descent niy friend collided with some one ascending the, stairway. ".Hello!'' he said. "'Hello!' a gruff male voice re plied.. " 'Can you tell me,' said my friend, -'where I am going0) "'Certainly,' said the other. 'If you keep straight on you will walk into the Thames, for I've just come out of it.'"' *NOTICE.
