The lower dection of Newberry county in and around Little Moun tain, Prosperity and Pomaria has a complete net work of telephones. In fact nearly every farm house in this entire section has phone con nection and those that have not are making arrangements to secure it. There is a large exchange at Prosperity and also at Little Moun tain and there is one at Pomaria. Somehow in the upper section of the -county the people have not yet generally secured phone connection to their homes. A line has been built from New berry to Chappells but there is only a central office at Chappells. There is no reason why there should not be a large exchange at Chappells. Chappells has a bank, seven flour ishing stores, wood-shops, ginner - ies, and is one of the best trading points in the county. Newberry ought to have phone connection with all that section of the county including a number of residents in Saluda county. With the railroad schedules as they are now people from that section of the county can come to Newberry, spend several hours and return in the af ternoon. With a good exchange at Chappells and a number of phones in the country homes, the people would be much nearer to. us. The line between Newberry and Chappells has been built by using the telegraph poles. We would like to ste this line extend to Dyson and from Dyson we are satisfied a num ber of connections could be made. Dyson -is onily twenty-three miles -from Newberry and Newberry * should be the banking. and trading point for the people of that section and as stated phone connection with the city would bring thsem much nearer to us. In fact we would then be in talking distance of each other. We understand that fifteen or twenty private phones could be put in at Chappe11s with very little ef fort and if an exchange would start there it would not be long before the number would increase to fifty or one hundred. That was the exper ience of' the exchange at Little Mountain when it was first decided to open an exchange at that point. If the Western 1Union poles could be used to Dyson the people on that side of the river could very easily build their ling to connect with the exchange at Chappells. We hope that the Southern Bell company will take this matter sup at once. We would like to know if the su pervisor has yet receIved that plow he ordered and which he ought to have bought from one of the dealers' in Newberry. We have not heard *whether he has commenced work on the road between Newberry and the Laurens line which he promised to do some weeks ago. There may be some other excuse but excuses do not build roads and we were depend ing upon the promise of the super visor to be carried out The county Democratic convention will meet in the court,. house next Monday at 11 o'clock. These seems to have been very little interest taken in the club meetings last Saturday and from the best information we have been able to obtain a great many of the clubs failed to meet and reorganize. As this is the day fixed in the constitution of the party for the organization of the clubs, they can not reorganize without giving notice to that effect on any other day. There seems to be ne one in New berry county this year who is in tending to seek any political office within, the county and that may ac. count for the lack of interest in the club organizations. SECRETARY WOOD COIUNG. The chamber of commerce will hold a special meeting on Monday, May 16, at which time Mr. Jno. Wood, secretary of the Spartanburg chamber of commerce, will visit Newberry and make an address. Mr. Wood comes to give us some information as to the management of commercial bod.as and to throw some enthusiasm, if possible, intc the work of our own chamber of commerce. During the present ad ministration there has been much more interest in the chamber of commerce and the membership has been doubled and there seems to be a disposition on the part of our peo ple to cooperate for advancement in everything that stands for a pro gressive community. We h(,pe that evexy member of the chamber of commerce will re member the date of Mr. Wood's com ing and will make his arrangements so as to be present and, give Mr. Wood a most cordial and hearty re ception. There is still room on the roll of members for more of our business men and we hope that the member ship will be materially increased be tween now and the 16th of May. Those who heard Mr. Wood a few days ago, we are sure, will be de lighted to know that he is coming back. We regret to note that the resident freeholders of Johnstone school dis trict are making an effort to repeal the special tax which has heretofore been voted in that district for the maintenance of the school. This school had a very prosperous session which recently closed and was for tunate in having an experienced teacher. This should have encourag ed the patrons to increase the levy rather than repeal any existing tax. Their school building needs re pairs and painting and they should desire to ha,ve the very best talent possible and to do these things it requires money. We would like to see the proposition to repeal the tax voted down. Copeland Bros., who have com menced tearing down the old build ing on the Baltimore corner pre paratory to the erection of a mod ern and up-to-date building, should in some way arrange with the town by which College street could be widened at least two feet from Main street to Friend street This Is a vry narrow street at this place and by.widening two feet would not only add to the street but would enhance te value of Copeland Bros.' .pro,per ty.' It will be too late to see this after the building is erected. * * * * * * * * * * * * * - SCINTILLATIONS. * * By Squibs.* * * * * * * * * * * * * And now a strong pull for the Firemen's tournament.-Sumter Her ad.

When the people can be made to understand that it actually costa more in time .and money to travel over a poor road than it does to trav el over a good one, they will be less inclined to begrudge the -expense of good roads, and what is more impor tant still, will be willing and anxious to put the business of road making into the hands of intelligent men who understand the business. Poor roads are the expensive things that curse a country district.-Edgefield Chroni cle. The Laurensville Herald of last Friday contained the following para graph which will be of interest to some readers of The Herald and pulpit of the Church of the Epip hany, Thursday night of last week, and delivered one of those fervid and scholarly sermons for which he is so well noted. Everywhere the bish op has preached in the State he has captivated his audiences by his deep piety and force of religious thought. He is a pulpit orator of rare force and power, and his sermons always pr.ove spiritually uplifting to those who hear him." A Leading Traveler. Mr. I. C. Comet, the leading trav eler, after an absence of about sev enty-five years, is coming to New berry again on his annual rounds. He has been coming. Some say he is camped on the outskirts of the city now, playing ball with Venus and looking around. He may be there, but previously it was that other visitor Venus fooling some people into believing that she was the real comet. She is lovely, but she couldn't "come it" over all. Charming Visitor Soon to Arrive. Miss Mae Tyme will arrive on Sunday next, to spend the month with friends.' Miss Mae has a very large number of friends but she manages to see them all when she comes, which is once a year regular ly. She is a sweet, charming, bright and beautiful young creature, and always brings presents of birds and flowers and sparkling gems of sun beams for each one, without partiali ty or favoritism. Sweet Mae, how thou art loved! Come to the arms awaiting thee. Come like a little lamb and give all happiness and peace for the space of thirty-one days-which is, just one day more than sinners get in the mayor's court.
