Ifr M $to Entered at the Postoffice if V<>\v fcrry, S. C., as 2nd class matter. E. H. AULL, EDITOR. Friday, October 25, 1912. This is a good time, to use the split log drag. A very simple and inexpensive plan for making good roads. Newberry is in great need of road improvement. When a good road is built it i6 neglected and soon gets in bad repair. The State fair begins next week. This is a great reunion occasion for the people of the State and every one who can should attend at least one day. If the street car strike is not settled and no cars are running, the attendance at the fair will be greatly reduced. The grounds are too far from the city tc walk, and the price for hack fare is almost prohibitive. And our good old friend, Col E. H. Aull, was defeated for county superintendent of education in the primary j - * - * TT. i ? J +/N i , meia last wees, ne was apyvim,cu i-w this office some time ago on the death of the incumbent and had made a good (Official. We regret that he was not elected.?Bamberg Herald. We thank Brother Knight for his i kind words and auote them in this con nection to say that the then encumbent is not dead, but resigned on January 1 of this year to teach school at 1 Prosperity, where he is still the prin- { cipal of a prosperous school. We have no regrets and will continue to do our I duty as superintendent of education as 1 long as we remain in office, and will 1 give the young man who is to succeed us all the assistance we can and he r may desire. The rural school problem is one of the greatest and most im- ( portant before the people of-this coun- * try. To have part in solving it is a J great work. ^ f ~ LEX'EM COME! v 1 r The next circus that a*ks for a li- ^ cense to show in town ought to be v r>>??>rtrpH a million dollars. Circuses ? _ > 2 answer no good purpose, and they take away a considerable amount of money that would otherwise be spent at home for articles of value.?New- ^ berry Observer. A circus is an innocent form of j ^ amusement, largely an educational in- L stitution and entirely harmless. The laborers and performers wear clothes ? made from cotton and wool raised in thei South, they eat ^ood, both in transit and at home, which comes partly from the farms of this section and whatever else they buy is a contribu tion to the sum total of the world's j business, which is necessary for oar . own prosperity. Let the circuses come, I ^ just as long as the clowns are funny | and plenty of peanuts and candy and . pink lemonade is on tap. Perhaps, ordinarily, Brother Wallace fee-Is the same way, but he might have been j suffering from the after effects of too much popcorn when he wrote the above.?Laurens Advertiser. jj We agree most heartily with the Ad- i vertiser and we want to see the circus ] continue to come. We can never for- 1 get with what pleasant anticipations ( * ? *?i s e j as a boy in t&e country we aoukwi iui ward to the coming of the circus from ( the time the first bills were posted until the day of the show, and how, i after the show, we bad something 1 pleasant to talk about. And we like J to see the circus even to this day, and j, regret we missed the show this year, j. We hope the circus may live long 1 and be sufficiently prosperous to con- < tinue its journeys. It is a harmless amusement. And for the money it takes away it leaves something, and V ?->a r> tint 1 i VP t A himself I UVOiUCJj JXIUII v-i-?" ~ ~ ? - ? alone. >EWS OF PROSPERITY.

Although the erowth of suear beets, i rom which more than half of all the | iugar used in the world is now exracted, has been encouraged for a -entury in Europe, it was not until 0 years ago that it. began to be seiously attempted in United States, and inly within the past decade has it risen o a position of commercial imporance. How rapid the growth of the nduscry has been in recent years is hown by the increase in the amount f sugar produced from beets, which as grown from 72,000,000 pounds in 599 to nearly 1,200,000,000 pounds in I he present year, an increase of over 600 per cent. At tlie present time the beet sugar idustry is established in 17 states, rith 71 factories in operation and sevral others in course of construction, talf a million acres are planted to ugar beets, and $45,000,000 a year is istributed to farmers, laborers, trinsortation companies and sellers of upplies in the operations connected || 'ith the making of beet sugar. How I ir this is from presenting the sugar- I roducing capacity of the country is | tiown by the fact that the area esti- 1 lated by the department of agricul- ? ire as adapted to isugar beet growing 1 omprises roundly 275,000,000 acres I nd that the use of one acre in every I 30 of this area for beet culture I ould enable us to produce all the 2 jgaar ve now import.?National I :&gazinie, What He Thought, I A man walking along the street of I Tillage stepped into a hole in the I dewalk and broke his leg, says the I adies' Home Journal.

The city appealed . . 11 e th.e supreme court but again uin reat lawyer won. tl After the claim was settled the lawr Br sent for his client and handed him ie dollar. "That's your damages, after taking 0 jt my fee, the cost of appeal and otn: expenses," replied the counsel. 'p The man looked at the dollar, turn3 it over and carefully scanned the Lher side. Then he looked up at the h twyer and said; "What's the matter ith this dollar? Is it a counterfeit?"
