Entered at the Postoffice at New berry, S. C., as 2nd class matter. E. H. AULL, EDITOR. Tuesday, February 7, 1911. All 'epartments of the State gov enment and the State institutions got all they asked from the legislature, so *verybody ought to be happy. The appropriation bill for this year farries very nearly two million dol lars. It is the largest in several years. - The State is growing and the people are rich. k One member on the committee on the two office proposition some years ago when elected to the legislature re signed the office of notary public be cause he wanted to conform to the constitution of the State. Most of the press of the State com mend the message of Gov. Blease on the two office proposition. Two say the constitution doesn't intend what it says and one says it was a mistake. We do not know what was intended or Whether it was a mistake, but we do know what it says anid the English anguage could scarcely be written more pleinly or more clearly. We are not quite sure but are under the impresion that the property quali ication governing scholarship to col -eges in this state applies to fathers only. The mother may be wealthy, but that does not matter, unless we are mistaken. If we are right, an amenlment should be made so that a c girl or boy can not get a scholarship if t either parent is able to send him or iier.-Sumter Herald. The better plan would be to abolish C ih scholarsbips in State colleges and make tuition free to all South Carolina boys and girls. A darge proportion of I ~those who secure secboiIrshbips are I able to <pay their own way through ~ college and many make incorrect stantsas to their property in or der to secure free tuition. In fact a t very small per centage pay any tui- h1 tion in any of the State colleges. The present legislaturle continues to ~pile on the appropriations for State institutions.r It is proposed to build a highwaY from Virginia to Georgia. . i We would be glad to see that 'high- f way from Greenville and from Spar tanburg via Ne4wberry to Columbia1 built It could he done in a few daysd and done easily and with the outlay of a very small amount of cash. First, we should get together aln.2 the route and raise enough money to employ a civil engineer and expert road builder and have him go over 'the route, relocate and survey and 1\ make profiles of the road with speci . ieations of what is to be done and then get the people along the road to come out with their teams and labor C at the same time from Greenville to .Columbia. and have ja force of hands I and teams at work at the same time F on the entire route and in about two I weeks we could have a fine road all the way from the mountain city to the capital. Will not some one lead the move- ( ment and call a meeting at Newberry -a central point-and get represen tatives present and start the ball roll ing. There is not a great deal of work1 needed between Newberry and Green ville, but in many places the road should be changed so as to avoid rail-' road crossings where praticable and to go around bills and change sand fbeds into sand and clay roads. If we did not ,get the entirse road built in the two weeks we could get the specifications and gradually work pto them. There should be no trouble to get a the cooperation of the county super-d visors. In fact Supervisor Humbert,1 of Laurens, is a civil engineer and an expert road builder and no doubt his services could be secured to make the; nee'ssary surveys and specifications. The entire road ought to be staked off indicating just what is to be done. Cr'd'r on is all that is needed. A A.a. NEWS OF EXCELSIOR.
