Entered at the Postoffice at New aerry, S. C., as 2nd class matter. E. H. AULL, EDITOR. Tuesday, November 14, 1911. We think that Governor Blease act *& wisely in not calling an extra ses ieen of the legislature at this time Il might hav'e been just as well t< have given the Marlboro farmers an opportunity to be heard and the gov 4mmor might also without detriment t< fis position have left off some portion, *1 the letter which was written to Mr Evans, representing the committeE Oat was appointed to wait upon t" governor. It would have entailed a heavy ex pense upon the State for the extra ses sion and even if anything could b done by legislation it is rather lat for it to result in any good to thE present crop. If relief can come fror legislation it is only a short time unti the legislature will convene. We df not believe, however, that the remedy hes in legislative enactment. SPLIT LOG DRAG NEEDED. In going by buggy on Sunday to St Paul's, as you enter either way the town of Prosperity along the main highway a large board is hung acrosw the road on which appears the warn iag to automobiles that the speed limil is ten miles an hour and five miles in turning the corners. At presen1 this warning is absolutely unnecessary Sor it is impossible for an automobile to go through the town along this roac at a greater speed than one mile the &our, if it is able to. go at all. The citizens of Prosperity have beer doing some work on the road and have gotten on heavy sand an abund ance of clay, and the road Sunday was almost impassable In the buggy nly when the proper proportion o1 sand is applied will the warning be necessary, for the aemptation then tc the average autoIsL'twIll be very greal to speed a little along a road such as this promises to be. The road that has been worked by tShe chaingang in many places needs an application of sana, and the mile 01 government road needs attention Irn the shape of a split log drag, and, ini fact, the use of the split log drag along this entire road would -be very ibiecial and the application should be made while the road is still wet, and 'when the citizens who live along this road realize the advantage they have Teceived In having a supervisor tc build a good road they will show their appreciation by coatstant use of the drag, and they will have a splendid road all the year, but if they will not, it would have been better for the chaingang to have worked some other road. Let us hope they will. MORE BONDS FOR GOOD ROADS. On December the seventh next the people of DeKalb county will vote on a proposed five hundred and fifty 4housand dollar bond issue for the ex tension and improvement of their pub lic highways. For many months past -this movement has been steadily un der way, and from now until the day of the election it will be urged upon the voters and there is littlo, if any doubt, that it will be overwhelmingly ratified. As an illustration of popular senti ment on road building in Georgia to day this enterprise is particularly in teresting. DeKalb county is already above the average in the number and the quality of its highways. But its officials and its citiz:ns realize that if the county is to attain its due measure of growth, it must go further in its roadway interests and, with business foresight, they recognize that in a comparatively ishort time the increase in property values and the stimulus to commence resulting from more and better highways will repay them many times over for the bonds they propose .to issue. Tt is a r.otwortby fact that the far mers- of DeKalb are egeeially inter ested inA this progressive movement. There is no group of citizens to whom it will prove more richly profitable. Better roads will bring them into easier and cheaper communication with the markets. Good roads will en open the way to more abundant school facilities. Indeed, they will quicker the county's life and prosperity in a thousand different ways and will prove a continual blessing through all the years to come. DeKalb is in the line of progress and the more counties there are to face in the same direction the greater will be Georgia's wealth and advancement. Atlanta Journal. This seems to be the way they do in Georgia --id as a result they are building good roads all through that State. The same thing and the same results would come to this State if we could convince our people of the value of good roads and of the further fact that the only way to get them is to pay for them. JUNIOR ORATORS AT NEWBERRY. First Try-out-Election of "Newber rian" Staff-Minstrel to be Given. News and Courier. Newberry College, Newberry, No vember 11.-At the chapel exercises yest'erday morning the student body had the pleasure of listening to the first eqorts of this year's junior ora tors. The young men acquitted them selves most creditably and showed good and careful training, as well as natural talent, for this line of work. Dr. Roy Z. Thomas, teacher of oratory at Newberry, has every reason to be proud of his new "Ciceros and Demos theneses." Many phases of present day commercial and economic activity were discussed and many vexing prob lems solved. The following is the pro gram of speakers and subjects: J. B. Ballentine, "The Growth of Oratory;" G. H. Ballentine, "The Rural Prob lem;" Paysinger, "The Labor Prob lem;" Black, "Southern Patriotism;" Rentz, "Love of Liberty;" Reiser, "La bor Unions a Necessity." On Thursday evening at 7 o'clock the bible study classes, just recently organized for this year's work in the Y. M. C. A., met at their various rooms and began in deed and truth the great work planned by Dr. W. D. Weather Iford while b1ere recently. There have been organized now six classes, repre senting the whol student body. These classes are preparing to study Dr. Weatherford's late book on "How to Lead Men to Christ" The whole student body is alive to the situation and much good is expected to come forth fro mnthese efforts. Dr. Roy Z. Thomas is the leader of the seniors; Mr. A. L. Gunter, of the juniors; Mr. E. Henry Cappelmann, of the Sopho mores; Mr. G. H. Ballentine and Mr. Jackson Bowers, Jr., of the freshmen, and Prof. V. B. Sease, of the preps. IDr. 3.

The present senior class is working har in .ts-efforts to "get out" an an nual at Newberry this year. The busi ness managers have been elected in the persons of Mr. Allen N. Kieffer, of Springfield, Ga., and Mr. Ernest IDoscher, of Charleston. Mr. L Mc Fall Wise, of Prosperity, has been elected editor-in-chief. With such a staff of energetis business mianagers and such an able editor there is no doubt that the college "Newberrian" of 1912 will be one of the "finest yet." The Athletic association minstrel, to be given in the early spring for the benefit of the baseball team, is a "glowing" futurity. The sppnds~ of the deep bass or the high and soft tenor is heard on the campus daily in r.rep aration for this great event. Mr. T. R. Bass, well known in minstrel circles, will coach Newberry's "men of min strelsy." Key Check Bearing Newberry Name. A bicycle thief, a colored boy with an alias, was arrested in Laurens last week. In its account of it, the Herald1 of the 10th has this paragra "Boyd or Wilson had in his pock a bunch of keys and the key check bears the name of John K. Roof, New berry, 1910. It is probable that he is wanted at other points, but he will have to linger in Laurens for some perhaps." Mfatthews-McCrackin. On November 8, at the home of Mr. and Mrs. E. P.

He started out very well "My soul me on they guard; te thou-" and he stopped, unable to g any further because he had such high pitch. He started over again "My soul be on thy guard; te and once more he stopped, this tim pitched so low that he could not prc ceed.
