Announcement has been made that
the contract has been let for the building
of the Carolina ind Georgia rail?waj,
which will ^onnoct Columbia
and Augusta with a line of track on
which steam or electric cars may be
used. The road is to be completed
within eighteen months. This railway
will be an additional factor in the continued
growth of Columbia, and will
t
be of great material help to the coun- j
try through which it passes.

We trust the eld Confederate sol*
tttari bare b&jn 'baring tli? tlms of
their lives in Aiken this week. In
the course of nature there can not bi
many more of theste reunions, and the
old soldiers deserve all that a grateful
people can do for them, and more.
We note from the Georgetown Times
+Vkof Conotrtr CmitVi mov nnpn his r??m

paign for re-election at Georgetown
on the 29th of this month. It is a long
sry from now until the cuapaiga ol
the cummer of 1914 and the candidate
who starts liis speaking campaign
o&"ir 1*111 require lots of lung power
and other kinds of endurance to last
until the real campaign is on.
The Herald and News publishes today
an interview from Governor
Blease, which recently app?i>
Ied in Hearst's Sunday American,
on common school education
as the most important question "before
South Carolina and the South.
The governor is pght when he says
that the common schools are receiving
too little In comparison "with the
liberal amounts bestowed upon the
I; higher institutions of learning, and
.. j
when he says further that if adequate
provision is not made for at least the
rudimentary education of the white
children of the State and of the South,
the penalty exacted of our civilization
will l*e as terrible as it will 'be
certain.
A good road from Newberry to Columbia
would be of value not only to i
Newberry but to every town through
which it passes, and to ev^ry farm j
along the route. The same trmzld 5;:

I read this tribute paid to a lii-ir .
recently : "He hated shams, despised j
pretense, and s-?t his foot on the a^e' j
of the hypocritical demagogue a? j
every opportunity. He was a patrio!
who knew what patriotism meant.' |
That is a beautiful tribute, i woul< |
rather have such a tribute- paid mv
than to accumulate a fortune. exciv>
I would be glad to have added, tha'
he hated the hypocrite ci* mi/ It;*'1,
that he never proved un'ru' to :

he had a broad vision, that he was nat j
narrow and prejudiced, that he did not
trim his sails to suit every passiag
breeze, that he stood four square to
all the winds that blew, for rieht .!ad
truth and justice and mercy. that w'.r en
he had an opportunity to help a frii nd
he never- failed. That's the kind of
man that appeals to me, but I am ; ust
a little bit afraid that he is scaro in
this day and in this neck of the wc ?ds

and it impressed me very forcibly,
because* It was somewhat along the
line T suggested some time ago, of
the trash that should be hauled off
alonf with the trash of the streets and
alleys, and T am sorry that I can't give
the cart and the skeletons of the garbage
described. I will give you the
trtndv erf garbage that was being suggested
to be dumped into the cart:
"The m?n who says we can't do it."
"Wfet real estate is out of all
reason." "The man who says everything
is going to the bow-wows." "Thej
man who kicks." "The man who n-ev?r
ha# a good wo^d for his town."
Tfcii rc*ji who criticizes his home
town." "The man who says he can j

into the garbage ca*t and hauled off
to the pit- and sent the way of all garbage.
If you don't say a good word for
your town, where do you expect to
hear the good word, and whom do you
expect to speak it. If you haven't a
goo<3 word for the men and women
who constitute the citizenship of your
town, how do you expect your town to
grow and prosper, and if your town
does net grow and prosper how do you I
sxpzet to grow and prosper. Thmk on
tbss* things and then act.

T wish I could be with the old boys
at Aiken this week. T know they are
enjoying themselves. The ranks are
being thinned and soon there won't be
any more gatherings of this noble band
here. Let us all hope there will be a
grand reunion on that shore where
parting in unknown. The further we
get from those scenes of. war and
suffering the more vividly they come
to the mind's eye and the more we
can enjoy hearing them recounted. I
can see now the smoVe from the burning
homes the result of Sherman's
march to the sea and hear the roar
of cannon. The old vets at Aiken

ABOUT PERSONALS.
The Trials and Tribulations of the j
Reporter Who Gets up the Per- |
sonals.
Ti would surprise you to know how
nsitive seme people are- in the mat-|
.cr of personal mention, some really i
pod persons whom one would scarce-'
suspect, leaving ^n^h for common'
n and woin-r.. It isn't surprising:
, ;ou just ii 11 ordinary individual com-j
!>?ams of being left out. but when un-3 j
'\iugher up" gets put out about it, it'
somewhat staggering.
This thing of getting items for the;
;u~ely personal coiumn is a tedious!

tain people who crave, being in the j
'('hoy seem to have a mania
seeing their names in print. If
hoy went to Prosperity twice a weeki
hoy would want it mentioned every

Then tiier-e are olhers who really
don't care to see their names in the pai?er,
at least so often, and we don't

wishes. But between those who want

to suppose that the reporter

day of the innumerable travelers to

weightier matters he catches these little
ones "on the fly" so to speak. Some

Because names are in the papers, it
is no sign that the uarties themselves
send them in. If they fail to appear,
:t is either because the reporter forgot
or didn't know. It doesn't amount to
much anyway, but:
