The city authorities have been using i

The split log drag could be usee1 to
ai
great advantage on many of our I
I w
roads. 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.

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. That rocky hill just
9 beyond the Aull place and before you
reach Jolly Street has been put in fine
condition and it is still in good fix.

DR. STKAIT TAKES CHARGE.
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 ,

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. , %

. '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

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

' ins an extension of Harrington street
I In order to do rhis it would bo nec'
essary for the railroads to build

j building of a street under the tracks.

I crn would have to take away the lillj

i creek. 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 opening
of this street would not do away
with this crossing, but it would give

Harrington street were extended as
! here suggested and kept in good con

Struc-turally these cars may have
i been exact duplicates as nearly as !
j duplication can be secured by auto-;
' I
ma ic machinery. Their parts would
; tallv to the thousandth of an incn. I
i
1 Their weights would vary by a few
jounces only. The old comparison "as i
'alike as two paas*' w:>uld have been'
i coarse for such an application. Yet j
jcne car was better than the other.
i
Quite & en this dissimilarity, it uas i
! been n tice'I, disappeared after the '
| cars had been for some time 111 use.
i Sometimes, however, it has remained
j in evidence for years.
That this condition is due to the j
difference in adjustment is the expla- I
1 na-.ion which engineers have always !
given to this singular phenomenon,
j It has been merely one more case of
j the human equation. Cars can be built
by machinery, but they must still be
adjusted by hand.
I'ntil recently tfhis adjustment has
been one of the duties of tne road
! tester, who, from his seat a: the wheel, I
I passed judgment 011 eacn car. 11 tne j
' tester was a good guesser, perfect adjustment
wag the result. But the pro1
cess at the best was still gu jss work.
Tills condition was tackled in a new
i
way several months ago by the Suide- i
baker corporation, which, after a long
series of experiments, fitted up a new !
fac.o'y building with apparatus by.
waich each complete chassis is given j

fere it is handed over to the road test-;
or for final approval.
A Studebal^er chassis comes to this
test complete except for body and
wheels, it is attached by its rear axle
to a large brake equipped with speedometer,
pressure dial and other devices.
The chassis smarts by its own
electrical system and runs under its
cwn power while skilled workmen test (
not only the power and flexibility of i
its motor but also go over in detail
every adjustment of gear and bearing.
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.
Thirty chassis can be handled simultaneously
in this test, which sup
! piements prior diock tests of motors :
I and rear axles. So closely does the
apparatus imitate actual conditions of

Very well, "smog" let it be. But
why end there? Let's call a fixture
of snow and mud "smud," a mixture
of snow and soot "smoot,'' and a mixture
of snow and hail "snail." Thus
we might have a weather forecast:
"Snail today, turning to snoot tonight;
tomorrow smoggy with smud."'
