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.

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

HIGHWAYS THROUGH f
PIEDMONT SECTION,
d4
In Trip From! 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 altogether upon the cus
mer," replied the traveling sales
an. "Sometimes I tell funny stories
id sometimes I abuse the truts."

BATTIIIU FOR MULES.
The Shower Attachment Makes the
Long Ears Wag With Joy.
Nashville American.
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. It will require
the highest qualities of statesmanship
'to cope with a situation which is

ARE MICROBES IN YOUR SCALP!
[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.
