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. I
Newman, are a complete ruin of blacl
ened leaves, and shattered blooms. 01
ders for designs from Mr. Scholtz,<
Ch'arlotte, and from Augusta an
Greenville, must be cancelled, as tlh
crop is lost this year, and Charlesta

Getting to Saluda.
Mr. R. B. 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

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

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,

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,
