The city of Columbia, after a can vass of seven days, was successful in raising $85,000 for the erection of a Y. M. C. A. building. This move ment is spreading to all of the cities in this section. Columbia is to be ccngratulated on the results obtained in so short a time and it only shows what can be done in a community by united effort. Apart from the good that will re sult to Columbia by thle erection of a first class, well equipped Y. M. C. A. building, the very faet that this effort to raise the money was success ful will be worth a great deal to the city. It will demonstrate to the peo ple of Columbia the power which they possess and the results which can be accomplished by united effort. It was only a few weeks ago that the same effort was undertaken in Greenville and resulted in, success. A movement is being started in Sum #ter this week for the s.n,e purpose. Greensboro, N. C., has already under taken to raise $65,000 to be secured by the 27th of this month. Four men in Greensboro have already pledged $20,000. Newberry ought to have a well equipped Y. M. C. A. building and if we can get together, by united effort it will be easy to raise $30,000 or $40,000 for that purpose. In Columbia there were over 1,500 subscribes to the fund. Somebody ought to take the lead in Newberry and let us hava a well equipped Y. M. C. A. building. Five hundred subscribers with an' average of $104) each would give $50,000 and this ought to be easy in so worthy a cause. Who will take the lead. STATE HIGHWAYS. We notice from the Spartanburg Journal that much interest is being taken in Spartanburg in regard to a State highway from Spartaniburg to Columbia. It is stated that there are two possible routes to be consid ered. One via Union and the other via Laurens and Newberry. At a meeting in Spartanburg Dr. W. H. Dial, I Lainrens, was present and gave assurances that the people of Laurens were enthusiastic and they wanted to cooperate in bringing the State highway via Lau.rens If Newrberry can get the road :bhrough this county in good condition, therd will be very 'little trouble in having the Sparanuburg highway via Laurens and Newberry and we will then be or the main highway from Greenville to Columbia and from Spartanburg to Columnbia. County Supervisor F'eagle gave rxc?.tre assurance to the committee from t".e chamrber of comm.'-e~ turn weeks ago tiiat he would begin work on the stretch of highway between the Laurens line and Newberry with in ten days. He has not yet bagun .this work. Just why he is delaying in the face of a positive promise to commence, we- do not know. Some days ago he stated that he was wait ing for a plow which had been order ed. There is no better time to start than now and we hope that the super visor will not delay much longer in ulling his promise. It would be a very great thing for Newberry to be located on the main hi~ghay from Coltumbia to the Pied mont. We will not only be the main highway to Greenville and Spartan burg but also to Greenrwood and Ab bevile and Anzderson. Automobiles are becoming much more common and it will not be long until they will be in use more g'ener ally by the people who live in the country and we should lose no time in getting busy and doing our part to ward securing this main highway. We would like to see the automobile ow,ner of Newherry county form an association. The main purpose of which should be the improvement of our highways. We were in the county of Marlboro a few weeks ago and we were told that there were about one hundred and fifty automobiles in that cou.ty; three-fourths of them owned. and operated by farmers. But apart from the automobile question, a good State highway through Newberry county would be just as valuable to the coun ty and to the epeople who do not own automobiles and everybody should be interested in having this highway put in good condition at once. We ought at once to get into com muniention with Laurens and Spar tanburg and cooperate with Laurens in having Spartanburg adopt the route via Laurens and Newberry. The dista,nce from Spartanburg to Colum bia by this route is very little more than by Union and down the rivere, and by getting this way the crossing of several streams would be avoided. From Newberry to Laurens there is no stream after leavi.ng the Gum Spring branch until you rea6h the branch at Laurens and from New berry to Columbia there is no stream except Wateree creek. A road could be built that would be inexpensive to keep in good condition the entire year. In addition to this a main higbiway 'is baing built from Greenville and from Spartanburg to Hendersonville and Asheville and on to Knoxville. It is stated that this highway will be completed by October of this year. The clipping which we used in a little editorial headed "The Way to Make a Town" should 'have been credited to the Greenwood Journal intsteala of the Greenwood Index. We endeavor always to give the proper credit, but in this case both the Greenwood papeirs are such exeI lent publications neither one could take offense to have the credits mix ed. Th'ey both stand for Greenwood and for Green:wod4d's advancement as all good loyal papers do. We take this opportunity to re peat that the only way to build up a commuity is by united effort on the part of the business interest and of the individuals as well, who make up that community. It is difficult sometimes to get all the people of the community working for the gen eral welfare of that community un less they can see immdd'iate results. It frequently happens that efforts put forth for the general welfare, while they bring results, the individuals can not always see them. X.-Confed. calls our attention to the omission of the name of one company in our mention of the forty ninth aniniversary of the surrender of Fort Sumter. It was not the omis sion on the part of the reporter but in making a correction in the proof the wrong line was taken out and in this way the name of Com!pany E, sOaptain J. D. Nance, did not appear. We shall bes. very glad to 'have X Confed. write a series of articles giv ing his recollections anid conmmenrts on the war times. The Herald and News is very muc~h gratified at the interest which the farmers of this county are now tak ing in the production of corn. The files of The Herald and News for the past twenty-five years will show that this paper has .been an ardent and consistent advocator of growing corn and all supplies needed on the farm by the farmers of this section. We 'have preachdd this gospel in season and out of season and wheth er or not our preaching has had any thing to do with the interest which is now being taken by the farmers in orn raising, we are delighted to see this interest. It means prosperity to the farmer. It means the growing f more hogs, chickens and turkeys. t means, in fact, the independence f the farmer. As we have very fre uently before remarked it pays to grow your own corn it matters not what the price of cotton may be. On account of the Erskine-New berry baseball game next Thursday the business houses have agreed to close from 4 to 6. The Herald and News is glad to note this. Merchants and others gain by giving their eleks a little recreation now and then. They gain in the estimation of the public and in the better work of their elerks. DBMOCRATIC CLUBS.
