EXTEND PHONE SYSTEM.
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.

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

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.
