E. H. AULL, EDITOR. Entered at the Postoffice at New %erry, S. C.. as 2nd class matter. Tuesday, June 14, 1910. JUST SEVENTY-EIGHT-LAST TUESDAY. This is the age of the old pencil pusher of this newspaper. It's of n< special interest to the world at large of course, but it is of some little im portance to the old- man himself. H is glad and thankful that he is still here. In his somewhat extended journey. through this terrestrial sphere so far, he has found somE rough and rugged places, but wac never at any time willing-and cer tainly never quite repdy-to leave it Yes, he is glad, and gateful to a kind Providence that he is able to bE up and about, and still able to wield the stylus, some. And he hopes to be with his broth er "boys" of the Fourth Estate, soor to meet, (may be the last for him,) sc that all may say with the sweet sing er-poet "Yes, we're boys-always playing with tongue or with pen; And I sometimes have asked, shall wE ever be men? Shall we always be youthful, and laughing and gay, Till the last dear companion drops . smiling away? "Then here's to our boyhood, its gold and its gray, The stars of its Winter, the dews o its May! And when we have done with our life lasting toys, Dear Father, take care of thy chil dren, the boys!" The above is from the Laurensville Herald of June 10. The Editor of The Herald and News is delighted to know that the veteran editor of the Lau'rensville Herald will be one of the boys at the Press association again this year. We de sire to congratulate him upon his good health and strength on his 78th birthday and hope that he may live many years more and be able to ren Aer the same valuable, unselfish, self sacrificing service to the country that he has rendered for so many years. Zach McGhee, in writing of the sit nation in the third district, seems tc have overlooked the fact that Oconee has another candidate- than the one named by him. We have heard it very s trongly intimated that a gentleman, by nam,e, J. R. Earle, was also in the running. We are glad to learn that Super visor Langford, of Lexington, Is go. ing to work at once on the road *through the Fork of Lexington, and will put it in good condition from the Broad river bridge to the Newberry line at Little Mountain. When Super visor Feagle finishes the work on the road from Newberry to Kinards the New7berry end of the road will be in good condition. Of course, the* road from Newberry to Little Mountain needs some at tention, but before any work is done, the road in many places should be re located. If all the criticism they can make of Congressman Lever is his vote oa the lumber plank in the tariff bill he has easy sailing. If that proposition was presented to the voters we be lieve it would come nearer defeating some of those who voted opposite to Mr. Lever than defeating Mr. Lever. That is one proposition on which Mr. Lever was entirely correct. That public square aroand the old court house is a disgrac-. to an in telligent citizenship. Washed in gul lies and ditches it looks worst thac it did 30 years ago. It can never bE made much better until the town de cides to do some paving. If Those newspaper editors who ex ercise so much concern about their neighbors and how they cond act their business would devote their attention and talents to their own business and to the keeping of their owa con sciences they would have about as much as they could do. Take tly they try to take the motes from the eyes of their brothers. t] r: The question now is not who orig- f inated the movement for good roads b but rather who is advocating and t] working for the improven ent of our; highways at this time. It is true, in this as in other cases, that the man e who was the pioneer -in the movement: a rarely gets credit for anything that h he has done, and if there are any hon- f I a ors to go around or any benefit to be handed out, a latter day convert is usually the beneficiary. We have Of- b ten seen that the case in other met- ti ters of public interest and it will no n doubt apply with equal force in the matter of road building, but the main - question after all is to get the roab. tj r d To Organize Association. d Charleston, S.

Columbia via Laurens to Greenville Joe Sparks Observes Many Improvements. The following extracts are from a two column article in the State of t Monday, June 6. Good roads are best ni advertisement for a community or a g@ county. We can not get as much de- ~ sirable publicity at so small a cost n in any other way, to say nothing of ei the satisfaction of possessing thet road: .4e most important highway in South Carolina-the road that con-b nects the capital city -and middle g8 Carolina with the rich Piedmont sec- r tion-the road that would add a trade 7 territory to Columbia bringing thou- hr sands of dollars to the merchants, cot- ml 'ton -men and others, the road that 11 hiindreds of tourists would travel an nually to the mountain resorts of 1( western .North Carolina and of this p: State, the road that passes thi-ough a h fine section of the State, the road.e that would bind the two .sections of n: the State together more closely, so- H cially, financially and in many other~ ~ways, the road that would bring hun- N dreds of visitors to the capital city fc annually-is possibly, in places, the fc worst stretch of road in South Caro- he lina. e The road which has degenerated al- Ial most into a -"hog path through the old ill fields and pastures,'' as one traveling over it expressed himself, lies almost wlholly in Lexington, and, therefore ta woul.jl come under supervision of the bi supervisor of that county. - -.Mountain Highway. g: The people all over upper Carolina ci are now, clamoring for a highway im- al proved fronm the capital -city. Sev- h< eral good roads meetings have been w held as to which will be the best a] route from Columbia. Union is fight ing for the highway, just so with r Laurens, Clinton and other points b along the route. There can be lots Iw of talk and many good roads meet- c *ings. Much interest may be display- i ed. The citizens of the Piedmont sec- tU tion of the State may buihi the most improved highway down as far as P Newberry, for it has been agreed that d< the "mountain highway" will go as ai far as Newberry. From that pointm its route has not been decided upon. Columbia to Greenville. b From Columbia to Greenville, over hi 140 miles away, running time: six 01 hours. et This run was made by Frank Kneb le, one of the best known automobil.. ists in the Piedmont section of theb State, driving his 50-horsepower Seld- h on torpedo machine. Mr. Kneble won the prize in the race from New York to Atlanta last year. This run was made, necessarily go- b: ing over that bad stretch of road through Lexington county, which con- tc sumed almost as much time as them other part of the trip. The car was a of high power and made a good run P: without a break down. Mr. Kneble was accompanied by a representative First Obstacle. The first obstacle enccuntered on ie trip was the bridge across the iver just above Columbia. Here a e was paid to cross the bridge. This ,e keeps many farmers away from ie capital city. "The Jungle." This road which runs for several Liles beyond the bridge was, how ver, easy sailing for "The Jungle," 3 it has been called. The hills and ollows were struck and then it was .el the way for 15 miles. Down into hollow the roads went-then irough a muddy, swampy stretch ,a ill is struck-here are veritable 3ulders, worn and rough, which the -aveler must climb over. It does At seem possible for a wagon loaded 'ith cotton to pass over the road. The >ad is not wide enough at any point or two teams to pass. On the top of ke hills there are sometimes several )ads to choose from for a few hun red yards, and it seems that every -aveler tries to find a better route 7ound a rough place. Bridges are i unknown quantity, and it seems Lat the hand of man has never been aced on this important road. On to Newberry. From Prosperity the improvement noticeable and good time was made. It is here that the good work of the ipervisor of Newberry county is own. He is gradually improving .1 of the roads leading to the town. or several miles before entering ewberry there is just as good a road can, be found in any county in the ate. The road is of red clay, and uld be made permnanent and passible ir any kind of vehicle in wet weath by- the application of some sand. Out of Newberry. The "mountain highway" has been .cided upon as far as Newberry. rom that point the road is undecid 1. The citizens of Newberry, and tere are many progressive people in e town, all fighting for good roads ill cooperate with the citizens of :her towns, no matter which route om that point to the up-counry is cided on. The people say that they ill have their -part of the road in tst as good condition as any, other rt in any other county. From Newberry.to Clinton, with the cception of possibly five miles out of te city of Newberry, much work is seded. The location of the road is yod, the bed is hard, but there are any ruts and the drainage has been aglected. The road is not wide ough. Some work has been done on e road and much more is needed. - Into La'urens County. Laurens county in a quiet way has ~en doing much toward the cause, of >od roads. To one going over .the ads in that county after several ~are, there is a lost feeling.. There ~ve been so many marked improve ents. Below Clinton to the county ce, there is some work needed. The .road .from Clinton to Laurens, Imiles, is possibly one of the best eces of roadway in the State. All 11s on this road have been eliminat Iand by automobile the trip can, be ade in 25 minutes running at a oderg.te rate. The road follows the Columbia, ewerry and Laurens railroad for ur miles, tihen turns to the right, llows the Ridge, by the county )me, Park's 'Station and into Laur is. It is of red clay and white clay, yout 20 feet broad. The drainage is fine shape. Laurens to Greenville.. From Laurens to. Greenville the dis nce is 38 miles. The roads have en improved to a marked degree ithin the past several years.. The *ades have been cut down and the irves eliminated. The bed of clay id gravel. There are few ruts and >bs. This condition is due to the ork of the supervisors of Laurens id Greenville counties. Where once was found a rocky, ugh road up and down hil is to found a smooth level highway, here one team could haul one bale of ~tton in fair weather and none in wet eather; one team -may haul two. ree and four bales of cotton. The statement can be made that the iedmont section of the State hats me just as much if not more than 1y other section for the improve ent of the highways. None of the counties have voted mds for the improvement of the ghways, but the work has been done it of - the funds of the counties rais I by taxation. Greenville, Spartanburg, Laurens, reenwood, Gaffney, Clinton and New ~rry are all connected by excellent ghways. Depends Upon the Man. "Do drummers really get business r telling funny stories ?" "Depends altogether upon the cus mer," replied the traveling sales an. "Sometimes I tell funny stories id sometimes I abuse the truts." ttsburg Post.

A concrete bathtub some 40 feet long and a few inches more than four: feet deep has been installed in the' Henry colliery of the Lehigh Valley Coal company at Plains, Pa., for the accommodation of the mine mules. This mine improvement is built at the entrance of the mule barn, says Popular Mechanics. The long eared Lbeasts are pretty tired when they; conclude the day's work, but when they strike the bath all fatigue disap pears and they rush in, crowding each other for the deepest place in the tub. Directly over it runs a perforated. pipe, and when the mules have dis- I ported themselves in the water in the tub the shower bath is turned on. The speed with which a mine mule will hurry to the bath when the day's work is over is proverbial, yet with all their desire to get the second meal of the day they have to be driven out of the bath. One old fellow is said to take much: delight that no amount of coaxing will get him to leave the tub until he has had at least 10 minutes of the: fun. Others will not leave the tub until the shower is turned on, and it seems that this feature is the most enjoyable. Some of them, the mine foreman says, will look at the at tendants longingly and then swing their heads appealingly toward the spray pipe until some one turns it on. The bath is expected to prolong the vigor and vitality of the mules. Tbe driver boys are the only workers in the mine who are -not absolutely in sympathy with the innovation, the bath keeping them in the mine 10 or i 15 minutes longer than before, yet; the enjoyment of their charges seems even to offset this inconvenience to a great extent. "Killing No Murder." Washington Post. Probable the most daring political pamphlet ever penned. was "Killing No Murder," the work of Col. Ed ward Saxby, in which he openly ad vocated the assassination of Crom well as a manifest blessing on the ground that the life of the Protector 'had proved an unmitigated curse to the nation. Saxby got his plea for tyrannicide printed in Holland in 1657, and managed'to smuggle a' number of hopies Into England, where they were freely distributed. The irony of the dedication to Crom well himself is remarkable, the argu ment stated In the most courteous tone, being that, if Cromwell were the' public-spirited man he professed to be,, he ought to welcome sudden death at the hand of a patriotically disposed assassin. The writer then goes on to. prove by quotations from Scripture and from ancient and mod ern authors that Croniewll is a true type of tyrant, who deserves to be annihilated on sight by any one to whom, the opportunity of doing so should present Itself. ! The. danger to the Protector's life was very real; blit, despite all sorts of plot, "strange engines," and incendiarism,'he baffled his foes and died a natural death. It- is strange how history repeats itself. A few weeks, 253 years after the appearance of Saxby's pamphlet, a publication with identically the .same title of "Killing 'No Murder," was produced at Delhi, and openly ad vocated the slaughter of the Feringh is, or foreigners, especially the Eng-t lish. It points out how arms may be procured from arsenals; advises na tive servants to poison their masters and families; and warns those In dians who are loyal to the British con nection of the terrible fate that awaits them. The specific weapons of offence which It recommends are cocoanut-shell bombs, filled with pois onous needles, to be exploded on all suitable occasions. A passage from this document will illustrate its blood-thirsty character -there is no delicate irony, no beat! ing about the bush;- it goes straight to the point. "Your life," ti says, "is not worth even a- dust or a straw if you do not, soil your hand with the blood of our oppressor, the Feringhi. You must kill as many of these white sheep as' you lay hands on, whether -men, wo men- or children'. This sort of killing' we call no murder, but a sacred duty that devolves on the .shoulders of ev ery Indian. *, * Rise up! Rise up! 0, Sons of India! Rise up! Arm your fselves with bombs and- dispatch the white asuras soon to Yama's abode! If you are in need of money, loot down the oppressors' houses. ' It is the' wealth" of the poor- Indian that fat ~tens the Feringhi. The recent edict against waist cloths bearing on their borders a poem in Bengali, containing incite ments to violence, is a fuirther proof of the disaffection at present preva lent in British India.

[t Has Been Proved That Microbes Cause Baldness. Professor Unna of Hamburg, Ger muany, and Dr. Sabourand, the lead ing French dermatologist, discovered that a microbe causes baldness. Their theory has time and again been amply verified through research experiml~ents carried on -under the observatin of aminent scientists. This glicrobe lodges in the Seburn, which isAthe na Lural hair oil, and when per-mitted to aourish it destroys the .haAr follicles and in time the pores entirely close, and the scalp gradually/takes on a shiny appearance. When this hap pens there is no hope of the growth of hair being revived. Dandruff is a coptagious disease, which is.largely d:ue to a destructive microbe, which when left to pursue its course causes itching scalp, fall lng ,hair and 'aldness. Dandruff is caused by th,e microbe affecting the glands which1 produce the sebaceous matter, which latter then unnatural ty dries up and scales off.
