Wallace and Neel HaTe Been Keeping It in Good Shape-A Road That Stands. The mile of government road be ;ween Newberry and Prosperity, which s a model stretch of road, and which yught to be a lesson in road building, bas recently been worked by Messrs. Wf. Ed. Wallace and Jno. C. Neel, who ive on the road. They cleaned out he ditches and dragged the road with :he split-log drag, and put it in ex 3ellent shape. Any road, or anything else, unless it s kept in repair, is bound to go down. Mese genVlemen, in working tlhis road, had in mind not only thair own nterests, but the interests of the peo ple of Newberry county and of other ,ounties, for this Is one of the most Irequently-travaled roads in the State. [t is enterprise of tis kind that caus es a county to forge alead--not to refuse to do something because, while it -may benefit ona's self it will help others. This mile of road has stood the test f time. It was built at small cost, and it shows what can be done in the way of road building. This matter of scattering a few dolars and a few cays' work here and there bas always proved a failure. Taking this mile of road as a lesson, why shouldn't New berry county do permanent work on roads while she is at it, instead of wasting money? And taking the example of Messrs. Waillace and Neel, it will be seen that cooperation of those living along the roads helps to an extent which can hardly be estimated. Death of Mr. Scott Williams. Mr. Scott Williams died at the home of his son, Mr. Jno. H. Williams, with whom he had been livng for the past several months, in the Mollohon mill village.
