Entered at the Postoffice at New gerry, S. C.. as 2nd class matter. E. H. AULL, EDITOR. Tuesday, September 5, 1911. We notice the papers are still stat ing that Attorney General Lyon is undecided about bringing any more of the so-called graft cases to trial, be cause per chance if he should securel a conviction Gov. Blease might pardon those convicted. We do not see that Mr. Lyon has anything to do with what Gov. Blease may do or may not do. If be convicts any of them he has dis charged his duty and if he fails to con vict he has done his duty, in making the effort. Just as well say he will not prosecute any one charged with crime because the jury might not con viet. It frequently happens that juries return verdicts of not guilty. The supervisor is doing some good road work on the road to Prosperity and in a few days will have the link from the city limits to the mile of gov ernment road completed. This road, if 'built as he is now building it all the way to Prosperity, will be a beautiful boulevard connecting the two towns dnd it is of vital importance, that ar rangements should be made to relo cate the road from the Boyd crossing to Mr. J. B. Fellers' place, about a mile this side of Prosperity. It can be relocated so as to avoid all railroad crossings 'eicept that of the Southern in the city limits of Prosperity, and, as we see. it, it would almost be crim inal to build such a road without avoiding these grade crossings. We -bave called attention to this several times and make this last appeal to the people along the road as well as the people of Newberry and Prosperity be fore the road is built It seems to us that the proper thing to do is to secure a civil engineer and ~road builder and get 'him to suggest the proper .el9eation of the road and then to see the people who own the and and make satisfactory arrange mnents with them for the land neces: Bry to build the road. We feel sais* fled that if this were priegented to the people who live along the road in the proper light that they will realize the advtanta;ge and importance of reloat ~ng. In feet, they shouAd be 'willing t< co-operate and give wha.t land is nec essary -in order to have such a reai -built -between the two' towns. The3 could then let thefr -wives and chil dren drive over it without the constan1 fear of an accident from a passing train. The rai-lroads, too, should be willing to co-operate and if nezessar3 pay part of the cost in order to havt 'the road not cross their railroads. Ii fact, most of the road could be buil' upon the land of 'the Southern and no be closer to the railroad than it nov i's and at the same time avoid all o' these crossings. We would suggest that representa * tives from Newberry and Prosperitl get together and appoint a good liva committee to take this matter up witi the supervisor and the railroads ani the people along the road. GOOD ROADS TRAIN. The Southern railway will have it good Toads train in Newberry on nex Tuesday. Speaking of the v'isit of this train t Spartanburg the Spartanburg Heral says: "This train is operated by the South ern railway working in co-operatio with the United States office of put lic -roads for the advancement of th improved highway idea throughout th South. It carries exhibits, illustri tions in the form of stereopticon view , samples of road building material an many other featuries that will be of- ii terest and value to those intereste in the improvement of the roads their section. There are also on th train government experts on ros building who deliver lectures on ti subject at all points where the tra is greeted by crowds interested in i mission. "The Southern railway is aiding the building of good roads because wishes tos see the territory it serv grow and develop and produce mo business. This is a common caus We are all interested in the South know that the most certain way in which to promote the growth of the South is in the extension and improve ment of its highways. Spartanburg is a good roads County. It should give the Southern's train a warm welcome and show an interest in its visit ',I:at wil1 reflect the interest we feel .a the ,cause of better roads. The Southern is doing a good work in this and t1 scrves the encouragemi-ent of the pro ple" It is a good work the Sout er-, rai qay is doing. The man now who is not in favor of the improvement of the r-rads is away behind the agc. We hope the visit of this train to Newber ry may arouse an interest on the part of our people that will inaugurate a policy of doing something. We are all in favor of good roads, but it take:s something else to build them. The Southern could help materially by co op=rating in relocating the road that we are now buildih.; betweenit New b,:rry and Prosperity. The lesson we ned most to learr: is that it takes money to build roads. and we may be ever so much in favcr of good roads, until we are willing to pay the price we can not get -them. And the chain gang can not build roads and maintain the miles we have in this county at the same -time and hope to'give .us any roads within the next century. May the good roads train of the Southern wake up our people. MRS. EVANS IN STOEM. Graphic Description of the War of the Elements From Pen of Gifted Newberrian. A letter from Mrs. Mary B. Evans who was in Charleston during the severe storm, written shortly after the storm, is as follo*s: "We suppose you and the rest of the world have learned ere this of th terrible hurricane which swept over the city of Charleston Sunday night the -29th of August. But one MIus have seen and felt the effects of thi~ war of the elements to form even faint idea of the terrible sight. N< One slept as houses shook amid blaci darkness, and 'the roar of wild wind: and rushing waters through street: and around 'homes, the fal.l of chim neys, the dull thud of gigantic oak falling on :roofs and piazzas, sen thrills of 'terror to even the strongesi much less nervous women and littl children. "The motive power was put out a existence soon, and-electric cars wer left on streets flooded many feet dele: in the waters of the Cooper and Asb hey rivers, that submerged even Ma rion Square of the Citadel academy. j"When morning dawned, Charlesto: Iwas a dead city as to business. Bank closed their doors, stores gave holi day to clerks, no vehicles could pas on the streets, as man or animal dare not pass over hundreds 'of electri 'poles with a net-work of wires. Breat ice, beef and all necessary articles c lfood could not be 'gotten for love a mone'y, as the power service was at sent. The Evening Post was not de livered until next afternoon. Tek phon'e were all out of order, and th telegrzTh service was dead. Autom< biles were useless; the negroes wer all idle, or dragging debris out < wrecked places. "The greenhouse and lovely beds c flowers-asters, lillies, roses and ott er cut flowers-of the florist, C.

Wallace says that the need of a railroad between Newberry and Saluda was very forcibly impressed upon him several days ago. He bad sold a fine Hallett & Davis Virtuolo to Mr. W. C. Edwards, of Saluda. and I had to ship the instrument to Wards, and then drive from Newberry to Wards, on the Columbia and Augusta division of the Southern, and haul the piano back to Saluda, about fourteen AUTOMOBILE AGE'NCY. Mr. W. C. Waldrop Will Handle the E. '1. F. and Flanders Cars-Goes to Detroit. Mr. W. C. Waldrop left on Sunday for Detroit, on a short trip in connec tion with his automobile business. Mr. Waldrop has secured tMe agency for the E. M. F. and Flanaers cars. These are among the best cars made for the money, and no doubt Mr. Wald rol will have a good business in hand ling them. Mr. Waldrop heretofore has had the agency only for the Ford cars. Fuller-Reid. Lieutenant Jas. Reid, of the Maxine I service in the Canal Zone, Panama, son of Mr. Geo. T. Reid, of Chappells, has been granted a furlough of thirty days. On lis return trip to his home, he came via Charleston and at four' o'clock on Satu:day afternoon was married to Miss Washington Fuller, of Walterboro. They are now spend ing some time with Mr. Reid's father at Chappells. Young Mr. Reid won his position in the Marine service on competitive ex amination and has been in the ser Vice for three years.
