Entered at the Postoffice at New erry, S. C.. as 2nd class matter. E. 11. AULL, EDITOR. Tuesday, September 19, 1911. Hon. W. J. Talbert announces that lie is going to run for the United States senate. There is no law against a man's running. That is a blessed privilege of our American institutions 'and of our primary system. There is one thing in Chief Justice Jones' record which all right-minded people will agree is to his everlasting credit and glory-he was at one time editor of The Newberry Herald, the immediate predecessor of The Herald and News-in fact, the same news paper before The Newberry News unit ed with it. The right kind .of public spirit is rapidly building up Wnitmire. In this issue our Whitmire correspondent tells of the raising of $100 among the pe?ple of the town and the donation of $400 by Mr. William Colenan for the purpose of organizing a band for Whitmire. We believe the future holds in' store bright and big things for this progressiCe Newberry cointy town. nTERESTIN POITICAL SITUA TION. The political situation in this State is getting interesting. There will be a number of as'pirants for the seat on the supreme court bench. Associate Justice Gary should be promoted to chief justice and that would make two vacancies for associate justice. Then if two circuit judges are elected the' will make two vacancies oil the cir cuit. Then if two solicitors are elect ed to the circuit judgeship it will make two vacancies there. So there may be many wheels within wheels. "You 8ielp me and I will help you" may have a great deal to do with the results. DEADLY GRADE CEIOSSfIGS. - .A grade crossing of' the railroad in Columbia was the cause the other day. of the collision of a street car and a loeomotivel Fortunately no one was seriously ijijured but some fourteen people were more for less shaken up. bad this took place where they keep a man .to .watch and .put down guards to avoid accidents. All of them 'should be abolished and and if it can be done no other way the legislature should pass a law re quiring that all1 of thasm be taken out and if the public road- can not be re * ocated :require that it be made to go 'uder the railroad or that a bf.dge be built over the railroad. t must come ~that sooner or later. Where it can be.done by relocating the puiblic roadJ * ihout injury to private property^.jt is not short of a criminal waste of pub lic -mnoney to build a road -without -, relocating. In avoiding thes cossings if it has to be done by- act of the legislature the railroads should be made to bear! half the expense of digging under their tracks or building over them as the case may be, 'and the county the other half. You do not find any grade crossings in the North and Eas;t. FOR BETTER ROADS. The model S was given another tesi last week. After taking us to Unior and back, as related in Friday's paper I decided to give her another test t' Columbia. I amt not writing of thest matters to advertise the model S ol any one else. Neither do I desire t< bore the readers of The Herald an< N'ws. The Model S is not now for sali My main purpose in going througl the country was to look over tha road and endeavor by constantly call ing attention to it to se if. we coul not get something done to put the roa in better condition. There should b a main boulevard between Newherr and Columbia and it would pay hot towns* to cooperate with the autho: ties in an effort to have such a road A trip to Columbia by auto would b a very small mnatteer if the road wa in such condition as that portion fror the Broad river bridge into the ciza or for that matter if it 'were as go.) Broad river birdge. I want to say here that when o1:1 man Langford builds a road he builds a good one. From Chapin d2wn to Spring Hill he has built a good road and then he skips about seven mil. When you leave the good road and strike where there has been no work you feel like you have suddenly b01e transplanted from a highly civilized community into barbarism. The ap pearance of the country is entireiv different. This Spring Hill road fur nishes a most striking example of the improvement of the coniitry by the building of a road. The new road of course is a little rough but if it is, given any sort of attention when it z settled good it will be a fine road. ThE road bed is there upon which to build. And it could be done all the way from Chapin to Columbia. From Little Mountain to Cha pi: the road should be relocated neailv all the way so as to avoid rhe :'aicoad cros ings and not go pernenDicu1arly up and down the high hills. If that is done and the other link built there will be a fine road from the Lexington line to Columbia. Of course. Newberry is now building just such a road to the Lexington line. We are going to cut out all railroad crossings and have a beautiful and perfectly safe road. The distance from Newberry to Columbia via Spring Hill is 44 miles. We came back via Lexington. Had an elegant breakfast xt the Meetze ho tel. The road from Columbia to Lex ington is good, but it seems- that the sand and clay in some places have not been mixed in the proper proportion as the road is working in holes. From Lexington to the river the road is good and over the river is a fine steel bridge and one of the -best pieces of work in construction of approaches ever done by a county in this State. The remain der of the road to Chapin has probably not been worked in a quarter of a cen tury and still it is in very good shape. The distance by this route is 48 miles. The Spring Hill route is the better one if that stretch of some seven or eight miles were put in proper condi When 'one travels over some of the roads that have been worked by the chain gangs of the various counties and ~sees how the people neglect to give any .attention to the up-kep, off the i'oad one is almost f49rced to the conclusion that the people do not want improved roads. If the newly worked road is not given attention it is a matter of a very skort time before the last condition of that road is worse than he Brut. You will pardon me for saying so much about the roads but I just can not help it. A good road is, an evi dence of intelligence, of progress, of civilization, of evlerything that stands for what is best and highest and tru est. I am for better roads and I am not a latter day convert. W hen the Boss. Gets Back. Engine broke down and the train off the track It all comes tight when the boss gets ~back!

Francis Wilson, the actor, tells the following story on John Mason: Wilson, having spent several sum mers at a small hotel in Vermont, ad vised MNason, who was in search of a quiet place for rest, to go there, tell ing the proprietor that he waq Wil son's friend. Mason arrived at the small town and mado his way to the inn. He found the proprietor sitting on the front porch, with his chair tip ped, smoking a corncob pipe. "I am 'Mr. Mason," he began. "1 have come here through a friend of mine, M%r. Francis Wilson." The landlord, quite unconcerned, kept on smoking. Thinking he imight be deaf, the newcomer started again, somewhat louder, "I am 'Mr. Mason; I have come here through a friend of mine, Francis Wilson." Still no re sponse. Convinced of his deafness, Mr. 3Mason began once more. "I say," he roared, "I am Yr. Mason, and havie come here througi a friend of mine, Francis Wilson." The proprietor Flowly took his pipe from his mouth and turned to Mason 'What d'you expect me to do, kiss you?' "--Cosmopolitan. The Grouch. He wears no simulated smile At every time and place, Sometimes you see ior half a m.1ie The frown upon his face; He is'nt much on shaking hands, His manner's sharp and short, In fact, he scarcely understands The way to be a sport! e very seldom buys a drink Or blows the buncn for smokes; He seems to want to spend his chink Upon his wife and folks; The merry grafters call him "close," The lushers say he's "tight;" They dub him grouchy, sour, morose, And doubtless they are right! But when you're broke, and need a friend, - Why, he's right there, you bet! He'll stick right with you to the end, Through trouble, woe and debt; He'll,swear at you most heartily (But stake you when you're flat); It's pretty good, it seems to me, To have a friend like that! He loves his children and,his wife And though his face is grimi, And though he doesn't grin through life, His friends all swear bY' him; His workers love his very frown; And for his goodness vouch; And-well, I'l1 let you put'me down -As one who loves The Grouch! -Berton Bradley in Puck.
