lie j|enil& anil gem i Entered at the Postoffice at Xewberrv, S. C., a> 2nd cla>s matter. E. H. AULL, EDITOR. Friday, June 5, 1914. ? ~ Now is the time to use the spli log drag. The commencement season is on, and the number of gradua es of ihe ttftvi/vnr. aaIIaq-ac o r\ A in Qi.^ 111 Vl 1 vai il/ud CXJIU ^uuvio Hi Oarolna is one of the most encouraging signs of the times. An* people should be encouraged when its schools and colleges are turning out such fine ! classes of young men and young wo men. A man recently stole a grip that belonged to an edi-.or. You may imagine he made a "water 'haul."?Abbeville Medium. I _ _ _. ! Our impression is that this editor was returning from Columbia and may be a s'retch of the imagination to conclude that whoever got that i grip really made an absolute "water haul.'' !7he Columbia S:a e asks why there are 4,000 convicts in the penitentiary in California, and only 200 in the penitentiary in South Carolina? Well, who's governor of California? That may throw some light on t'.ie subject. ?Abbevile Medium. Well, surely, you would no: consider it a credit to South Carolina to have as many criminals as a big State like California. The difference in size and population may throw somej light on the situation also. i The numerous candidates for gov ernor and for other State offices will form one campaign party, and if each of :he candida:es is given only five minutes?provided all tohse who have signied their intention ol running remain in the race?he meetings in tns campaign will be long and tedious. There are only two candidates for Tnred S ates senate, and they will form a separate party, having a campaign all to themselves. It is a pity that there could not have been a more equitable division. We look for The Xewberrv Herald and News, The Yorkville Enquirer and <? few other papers in the State to come out in mourning in view of what the county conventions have done all over the State. But maybe they think i: doesn't signify anything.?Lancaster News. We have been' watching with some degree of interest and solicitude to see if your fond anticipations would be realized, but so tar we have observed no sign of mourning or even as much solictude on the part of hesc papers you mention as there seems to be about this particular matter on the part of o- hers o" The press of this ciaic. ENROLL AND REGISTER. . We hope that every Democrat in Newberry county, and in South Carolina, will enroll under the new primary rules adopted by -he State convention. It is trie du v of every citi zen to exercise the right of suffrage f-.r the best interest of his county and j S ate as he sees it, and he people should enroll, so as to be in position to cast their ballots, and then they should go to the polls and vote. In urging the importau'-e of this ma ter, we do not have in view the election or the defeat of any man or any set of men, but simply the desire that in the governmen: of our State?in :he choice of those who will be in charge ! of the administration of the affairs of cur State?the will of the entire De mocracy may be regis'ered. And noi only should our people enroll, but ;hose who are not registered .should register. As we have tfrequeiitly pointed out, there have been general elections in the town ?of Xewberrv in which it would have been an easy ma.ter for the Democratic nominee sor alderman in some ward :o be defeated?simply because Democrats did not go to the polls and vote in the general election. x One of the greatest assets any town can have is a good building and loan I [ f association. Gaffney has two?the peoples and the Farmers and Me- ! I (hanics? both c ndncted along con-' servative yet liberal lines. We know : of no better method by which a young i man or woman working for wages can j I get a start in life than to take stock ! in such an institution. It would be interestin gtJ know just how imporJ* > ?a i i tant a part me ounumg unu iuan j I ass ciation has played in the develop- j | meat of this town.?Gaffney Ledger, j Wp hav-e remarked on that fact sev- j I j oral times before and we have been j i hoping that some o: our live and pro- : gressive young business men would i ! ake the matter up and organize a; real and true building and loan asso-1 ! ciation. One tnat wouici encourage ; and help young men and others to build or to buy and own their own homes. This would be a great thing j tor any community. We have had; some in Newberry, but they were not j real and true building and loan assoj ciations?the kind that help to build I ! homes without robbing the man who j builds and at tne same time gives to j the stockholder a reaso.^aible rate of interest on the nuney he paid, if he were not a borrower. They are op erated successfully elsewhere and to the benefit of the community and they can be operated h<jre successfully. We wan: &:me of our financiers to tako the matter up. We were present at the Whitmire meeting on last Saturday when Gov. Blease spoke. We heard the tilt be ween Mr. William Coelman and the governor. We regret that it uook place. We are constrained to say that we do not think the governor was jus; tified in his a tack on Mr. Coleman. ! We have known Mr. Coleman for a good many years. We know some thing of the work he is doing at wnnmire. While not a political supporter of the governor, as a mark of respect j to him, he came down -.o the meeting to hear him speak when he was a guest of the town. We do not think thai a candidate for office nor an of I fice seeker has a right or is justified in making a personal at.ack on private citizens who happen not to be political supporters of them. Mr. Coleman is a private c*;tizen and has a right to his own opinions. The governor produced no evidence tha: Mr. Coleman had used any undue influ ence 10 prejudice uie uperauves m ius mill against the governor. We feel the incident was very unfortunate. From all that we have seen and heard of Mr. Coleman and his mill he | has been kind to ;he employes of the i mill and has done what he could for I their ccmfort and betterment and they all hold him in high esteem. He has e.:couragod the building of a good sch:ol and tbe levying of taxes to main ain it, the greater part of whicli are paid by the property o<:' the mill. He has built a fine office building and in it has provided a hall which is used by the operatives for a lodge hall and any other n'leetir.gs which they may desire tD hold. We esteem Mr. Cole man as a high toned gentleman and do not think that the govec-nor should have made the attack cn him which lie did. Or that he was justified in doing it, and we regre that he did. We can not see where it can accomplish any good. / -J"- 7 THE ENCAMPMENT. Columbia dispatches carry the announcemen that the war department has called off the joint encampme.it of North Carolina, Southt '-Carolina, Georgia and Florida Mroops, in Augusta, and is providing 1'or the encampment of >he troops of each of the States in iheir own State. So far as South Carolina is concerned, we believe that this action oc tile war department is better for South Carolina troops. Augusta is just across the river from South Carolina, and an encampment in Augusta could not possibly hold any more pleasure or [ | profit for the militia o;' this Sta:e than | an encampment at some suitable place wi.hin this State. As matter of fac:, there are any number of places in South Carolina at which we believe the great majority of the South Car olina :roops would rather encamp ! than in Augusta. Thic acti-on of the war department, too, will no doutot end the newspaper - V. * . t ] talk which has been largely in evi- ' dence within the past week, tha th<> governor had refused to allow the !>irm Vi PnmliriQ trnnnc tn ndrtu>iii!i:o in the Augusta encampment, in he effort to make it appear hat there was a breach between the governor and the war departmen . As ma Ut cf fact, what the governoy said was not tiiat he refused to let the troops go :o the proposed Angus a encampment, but that he did not decide one wav or the other just at the time, taking ihe mat er under consideraion i rtni'niflinfv nrf o i o TU r\ a \> anting v. ci tarn ucvu^pinciiio. i iil j governor's words in reply to General Moose's letter, were: "In reply, I beg to say that, in view of the present Mexican situa lion, I do not think the South Carolina troops should leave the State to participate in this encampment. If the peace conference now being held should result satisfac orily, I will hen take the ma ter up up for 'further consideration." The war department does not give its reasons for a change in i s plans, but. whatever its reasons, it seems to have take;; a course which has entirely vindicated the course of the governor in holding the matter under consideration and a great deal of j _ l ^ newspaper sarcasm ana eiuquence have gone for naugh:. IS A WONDERFUL ROAD That From Vera Cruz to Mexico City Was Kuilt By Cortez, Kansas City Times. The good roads movement was be gun in Mexico Dy me luonquis aiur Cortez. He and bis followers and the i Indians he impressed into his service j buik the bowler-paved highway that is crossed and recrossed by the modern railways and connecting Vera Cruz and the capital city. So well did they build that long sections of this road have al ways since been traversable ana aur- ; ing the stage-coach era it was kept in j excellenr condition. Travel in those I days began with daylight and ended | with dusk, 'for there were brigands j aboard then as well as now. Fifteen j icm. o romartflhlp frin was made ! v a d?-)V>r C4 i | fr:m the city of Pueblo in an automo- ' i bile over this paved way with very lit- j tie trouble. Here and here the moun- j tain torrents have washed out portions j but S3 well was the route cjnsen Uat! many miles of practically undisturbed tin vine exists. \vi h a straight and "plum'' retaining wall. Of course these famous Spanish mansions had the advantage of Indian trails that had been used for centuries before. Xarr.w winding path they were, racking hi and out of the lit le canyons, but always climbing higher jn the great gorge that "ed up between the mountains of the range tha. had to be cross cd after leaving lie low, hot country a .d before entering the high-hung valley of Mexico. In recent years, in resp:nse to the world-wide demand Tor good roads for | automoblies, parts of this and o.her old Spanish roads in 'Mexico have been rebuilt according to he m:st approved modern methods, but the traveler to day may look on. of his Pullman window and see little bands of laden burros being drive.] by Indians wending their way along tiie Cortez road, the same br ad highway tlia: has borne the traffic of centuries. The Cortez r-ad is twice as wide of the famous Appain way of Rome, and as well construe ed as the old Roman roads of England. Indeed, it has been said that the Spanish should be called the pointer road builder of America, us he Roman is of Europe. iMa. y o.' lie Mexican Indians still look with fear and suspicion upon railr:ad travel and many cannot afford to pay the price of a journey ever so s'.vort 1 a mnnir lililflc Tvo - ijO vHtJV U it l t'l SC liltilij lulled UU1 ed over the mountain trails tha lead into the Cortez read and the railroad that has now outrivaled it. The writer once saw a caravan of Indians descending a s eep mounain path, each carrying upon his back a mahogany railread tie, whicli he would sell to the Mexican railway for the munificent sum of six cents. B>'t even those por tions of the railroad tnat were iaiu up-on solid mahogany will be worn to dusr, while the old Cortez road, paved with t:rrent-washed cobbles, will ndure, perhaps, another 400 years. ? nrrrrnT rirrYnn ^NOTICE Ut ii^AL Notice is "hereby given that I will j make final settlement, as administrator, on the estate of Patrick B.
