Trouble is no one has time and I fi3 yet all tJhose who are busy using the j i te roads will spend four days doing what at could be easier done in two days ralhtfc er than spend one day dragging the road. See the point. di We hope t&at Supervisor Chappell b( will take sufficient Time to complete to the road from Prosperity to Jollyj Si Street. He did some go-od work on it jte last year but it needs some drain pipes in "and the ditches cleaned out. All C( these places could be given attention w in a day or two.

Dr. Strait has qualified as superin- j tendent of the State Hospital for the j Insane, and has taken charge of the ffAnfl AmQn TtnVl A ' iJiSClLUllUU. iic is <X gcuticilltiii ?yiu<j , has been signally honored by his peo-1 c ... _ J , pie, and against whose character as a , man and whose reputation as a phy- | sician nobody has been able to say i anything, even in the stirring circum- ! stances in which his appointment was , ; made. As matter of fact, without ref- I erence to anvrhing that has gone be fore, Dr. Strait is a very tine gentleman and a physician of recognized ability, and, above all, he is a man cf; good, hard common sense, and we j trust that under ihis administration of; the affairs of the State hospital peace will reign supreme, as we believe it < will. , % mm . 'v THK PITY OF DEMOCRATS. The club meetings will come next: month, and then the county conven-j tions along about the first of May, and then the State convention. The cam- j paign is almost upon us. It Is hardly J i possible that the campaign this sum-! mer will be as bitter as was that of j two years ago, but it seems now as if the "lines" are being drawn again. In the meantime, while no so-called "primary reform" law was passed by I the legislature, the voters o aglit to register. It is easy enough to sit down j and conclude that it will be "all right,j anyhow," but it is the duty of the peo- j pie to register and it is their duty, as j sood Democrats, to be prepared to vote J in the general election. As The Her- j aid and News has called attention to several times before, in any one of a : I number of general elections held in , the town of Newberry in recent years,! ! it would have been an easy matter to j have run in an independent ticket, in | the face of only some four or six or ^ eight Democratic votes cast in a ward, j i It is getting time for the people to it lip and take notice. And it is not only the duty of good Kmocrats to register, but it is their 1rxiit tlifl /-."vrmrto- r-lllh UIV i^ur\ uui IV/I ciiv. leetings, and to attend them. Repesenration in the party councils, as ffairs go in South Carolina, is of vi a: mportance, and if the people as a ;h.)le want to be represented in their arty councils they must attend their lub meetings. The Herald and News has frequent . called tfhe attention of this comlunity to the importance of having ome sort of fire alarm system by hich the people might be able to loate a fire when the alarm was soundd. When the siren is sounded every ne begins to inquire where the fire >. It does seem that some sort of vstem could be inaugurated or in allprl hv whirh rbp fre nnuld be lo ated, at least by wards, if not more articularly. The importance of this was emphazed on Tuesday night when the siren Minded and even the fire department id not know where to go. The wagi drove up in front of Maves' drug ore and stood for several minutes ithout knowing whither to go, and itomobiles roared through the streets ith every one asking where is the re? Why not install a sensible sysm bv which everyone could locate least the neighborhood ifrom whiai ie alarm was sent in. Of course, we understand that ornarily the alarm is sent to the fire )use and from there the notice is sent i the siren to give the alarm, but in ;ving the alarm why not have a sysm by which the citizens of ordinary telligence could locate at least the >mmunity in whidh the fire was or hence came the alarm. It should not i a difficult thine to do. EXTEND HARRINGTON STREET. The Herald and News some years ?o, during the life time of Mr. W. .

Mr. Childs always had a friend! lv interest in Xewberry and the sugI gestion to extend this street came from him. Now, the point is, we understand : that the C\, X. & U purposes to put j j up a new trestle and to build concrete piers with steel bents, and while this work is being done, or rather before i1. is done, is the time to open this street if it is ever intended to do it. Grade crossings are always dangerous but the one out from Main street is an exceptionally dangerous one.

The definite nature of the result attained and the unusual facility for tiiie detection of noise and vibration make this method of adjustment absolutely accurate, for each car must score a cer ain definite record before passed along for road test and completion.
