The people are awakening to the economy of building good roads. For many years every effort has been bent toward enlightenment on the good roads question. We have been doing a great deal of talking but not much -"-king. All of this has been necessary to convince the majority of people that an expediture for good roads is a real economy. The time has about come when the people are ready to support a real good roads movement. ?Laurens Advertiser. We hope this is true, ana oeneve it is. The Herald and News for many years has been a persistent and consistent advocate of the building of good roads. The people will come to realize some day that a tax for road building is different from any other tax. It is an investment that will pay larger dividends to all the people than any other investment they could possibly make. We have never heen able to understand whv every one did not take more interest in road building, or bow any one could oppose a reasonable tax for road building. HOME MADE. A reporter of the Greenville News met a prominent citizen of this city on Main street yesterday and in course of conversation remarked on tbe handsome suit of clothes he.was wearing and the gentleman replied: "This cloth is known as calvert cloth, was manufactured by the Drayton mills at Spartanburg and the suit made up here in Greenville." Pointing to his shirt he said, "This shirt was made of Greenville cotton by the Duncan mills of this city and bleached at the Union bleacherv of Greenville." He also said, "My underclothes were made by a local mill, the "Watts mills of Laurens, bleached by the Union bleacherv of Greenville, and manufactured by the Xncka??e Manufacturing company of this city. Everything I h^ve on except my stockings was made in Greenville or Spartanburg."?Greenville Xews. This local carries with it a good suggestion. We could and should manufacture more of the things we wear right here at home. It carries another suggestion also, that we might, to great advantage, grow more of the things we eat. For a long time we only grew the cotton and it was shipped off and made into cloth and then shipped back to us. Then we began to spin and then to weave and still wg sent the cloth off for manufacture. Why not manufacture some of it at home. It would furnish profitable employment for our people and keep our money at home. TO BUILD TO GREENWOOD. A railroad from Greenwood to -Tocnston, connecting Greenwood with the proposed Columbia-Augusta line, ?s a suggestion to stir the imagination of men who believe in Greenwood as one of the big towns to be of South Carolina and set them working with enthusiasm. Besides, a connection at Greenwood the Ausnista-Columbia system "Kith *he Tnterurban svstem of the Piedmont direct would open a splendid prospect for the further and more ' apid development of at least one-half of the territory of South Carolina. It would spell growth for Columbia, but not for Columbia alone. Au'usta has a stake in tee planned development. Greenwood is a vigorous community to have at the northern terminus 01 a railroad line though it be as yet ">n paper, for Greenwood buildera Vave achievements to their credit.? The State. Newberry should get into this pic+ure somewhere. A road across the ^tate via Edgefield, Saluda Newberry. and on to Spartanburg would open a territory greatly in need of railroad facilities. From Greenville to Columbia via Laurens and Newberry a rr>pd "ould be built without crossing an v stream of any consequence until the river at Columbia was reached, and it is almost a level plateau all the vay. We should get in touch somewhere. U. S. District Attorney Cochran has resigned. Senator Tillman has re ' commended J. W. Thurmond, of Edge- , field, and Senator Smith has recom- ; ; mended F. H. "Weston, of Richland. , !Under an arrangement with the dele-! I j gation the appointment of district at- ' i tornev and U. S. marshal was left to , the senators. Senator Tillman recommended J. L. Sims, of Orangeburg, ! for marshal and benator bmith acquiesced. President Alison might j 1: do well to make his own selection for . ! district attorney and if he has not j made up his mind we would like to ' ! suggest for his consideration the ' name of M. Rutledge Rivers, of Chari | leston. He would make no mistake in appointing Mr. Rivers. He is a i good lawyer and a fine gentleman with it I i . ; Secretary Frank Efird is stirring up ; an interest in the State fair. Every" | i one should be interested in makingj !the State fair a great success. Apart from it educational value it is a great. I '! reunion occasion for the people of I South Carolina. ? 'Commissioner Watson is devoting ; a good deal of time to exploiting the ; i buliding of good roads. We notice ' that he has gotten the people of the j Piedmont aroused to the building of J . a road to the mountains, and now he is working on a road from Charleston I Newberry should be interested in this proposition. A main thoroughfare 1 from the coast to the mountains via I Newberry would be a great thing for1 the town. It would be worth as much ( as another railroad. We are on the 1 ; direct line, but we should be on the alert and let those interested know , that we also are interested. Good \ 'things don't always come unless you orof nn Q n r? crn aftpr thpm. " ?? I We would like to see this made a State road and our suggestion that the convicts now in the penitentiary ; and soon to be out of a job could be i i utilized to great advantage on a pro1 position like this. In fact, they could not be worked to greater advantage . to the people of the State. A civil | engineer and expert road builder j i ha nrnviripri in rnnnerrinn with ; I ;Mr. Watson's department. ! We wonder if General Manager J. j F. Livingston knows the condition of I I: , the coaches he is operating on the ! morning train from Laurens to Co- , ! lumbia and hack in the afternoon and i ; the amount of travel that this train j handles. We doubt if he does, and , we don't like to say that either, for j ; it might indicate that he was not on ! i his job and we know he is, and we ' ' don't like to admit that he has knowl- j1 edge and will not or does not provide ! i better accommodations. We have j been on that train frequently and j ! 1 every time on leaving Columbia there j \ was scarcely sufficient capacity. The I ; same way going down in the morning. i ; The coaches are in bad sanitary conI dition. The windows will not stay j up and altogether the accommoda- j Itions are potf, very poor. This train j is a great accommodation for the peo' pie along the line. The schedules 1 are satisfactory. It is a great train i for the Columbia merchants. The people who love to patronize it should i be given better accommodations. The same may be said of the regu; lar passenger train except that the ! coaches are better. But it is always I crowded. Frequently there is not Ctlffioionr rnnm + n o rtr?r\m tv> nrlo + o +Vie> ! guxuviviic X UVUA 1,1/ Ci. V/ !~LI iUUUU L ^ CJUL^ t. I ' travel. Why not restore the chair | car from Columbia to Greenville, j We hope Mr. Livingston will look ; into this matter, and especially that j morning and afternoon train and pro- j j vide better coaches. J Tiie Right Man in the Right Palce. | Mr. Robert Xorris, who has beenj ! recently appointed general agent of' the Manhattan Life Insurance com- J pany for South Carolina, left on Tues- j day for Columbia to take up the duties of the position, the State agency being located in that city. Mr. Xorris j i r>a<s nnarfpre nn thp thirtPAntll I , floor of the recently completed Pal- ! imetto National bank building, which ! ! is probablv the handsomest office i ; building in South Carolina. In .Mr. Xorris, the Manhattan Life ' j has secured one of the best insurance 1 men in the State to look after its: interests in this section, and it is | safe to predict that, under his super- j vision, the South Carolina agency! will have to be reckoned with by i State agencies of this and other companies when it comes to a "show f down*' of the best agency in the United States. Mr. Xorris knows the insurance business from A to Z, and his policy- j writing ability is second to that of ; no other insurance man in South Car-, olina. He will be a valuable addi- | tion to the large colony of Xewberrians in Columbia, who have done? j and are doing?so much to make the capital city what it is. Mr. Xorris' many friends regret to j see him leave Xewberry, but are j J ^ f f a rtf rt f V> r\ n Kaati I piUUU Ui Liic Jiav^i. uiai .1c uaj uccu j appointed to this high and responsi ble position. Football Certainty at Newberry. The officials of Newberry college have definitely decided to allow a team to represent the institution this fall. Already five games have been scheduled. From the abundance of j material though handicapped by in- j experience, the prospects for a win- j ning aggregation are good. A force of men were put to ;rcork j getting the athletic field in shape! Wednesday. The football togs are on their way. Captain Floyd has sent a call to the probable football candidates to renorr. "a week early for practice. Floyd will probably play the quarter j back position on the team in which ' capacity his friends are predicting! he will excel anything in the State. Being of the cool calculating sort, combined with his ability to boot the J ball he will prove an invaluable man in ,the backfield. Guy Brown who for several years ! was a star perforn..er on the Georgia Military Academy football team has announced his intention of attending Xewberry tue coming year. It is firm belief that he can hold down the position of tackle. Brown is a big fellow tipping the beam at 180 j pounds and should be a tower of strength to the team on the line. R. K. Wise of Prosperity was in town recently inquiring concerning the football situation declaring that he is ready in mid-season form and intends to participate in the to participate in the arduous pastime. A training table is to be conducted at the college boarding hall during the football season. BIG OPENING DAY. Caldwell acd Hliltiwang^er, in Their New Store Will Display Many >e? Styles on Saturday.

The ladies of the town and county are invited to call and take a look. Everything nice and stylish may be seen at this new store.
