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.

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

The good roads movement was be

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

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.

look with fear and suspicion upon railr:ad

Mexican railway for the munificent
sum of six cents. B>'t even those por
