Safety is not so much needed in the autotmobile as in the person at the wheel. {This is a fine time to use the split 1 J ? " TITrt nva. VI-O iti n Cr nil tT) P ] pff. iOg Ui ag.

We V are training our people too much to look to the government for everything. ^ It strikes a blow at individuality. Congress has adjourned. Nothing done to heip conditions in the cotton growing States. If there was a panic Or a crisis in Wall Street the govern!ment would go to the rescue to save a few speculators and bankers from bankruptcy but when it comes to the farmer, why he must work out his ouTi salvation.

During our service in the legislature and on the ways and means committee it was always a rule of the committee to grant any request thai Dr. "Walker made, beca/use we always knew that he never asked for anything except what was necessary for f.ieproper maintenance of tne institution. And now we hope to see tie peopie grant this request. We are glad that jiie has written the article because we did not know that such amendments were proposed. As to the other amendments we see no reason why they should not be granted if the peo pie want to tax abutting property for the improvement of the cities and towns. TO E>TEItTAI> THE BAPTISTS. The week o November 9 will be a very important one in Newberry. The Baptist association of women for this State wall hold their annual convention in tfne First Baptist church. It is stated that there will be between four and five 'hundred delegates in Newberry at that time, representing the various Baptist organizations of this State. This is probably the largI i est convention of any kind that meets | in this State not excepting the Methodist conference. However, our good friends of the Baptist church are ex i pectins: that the members of other churches and the citizens generally will co-operate with them in the entertainment of the delegates to this | convention. We feel sure that t^e peo; pie of Newberry will maintain their : reputation for hospitality and that the i doors of all homes in the city will he : open to the visiting delegates. We recall that more than 30 years ago the Methodist conference met in Xewtberry and! ike Baptist Church at I that time being t'he largest auditorium j in the city was thrown open for use j i by the Meteodists and the sessions o'.: j I i the conference were held in the! i church. ! Th chairman of the entertainment ! ! committee of the Baptist women is I I : Mrs. J. H. West and s^e would ap: predate very mucfa if those who have i not yet agreed to take delegates would | notify her at once the number they 1 will entertain. Newberry must main , tain her reputation for (hospitality ;an.d we confidently expect that homes ' will be easilv secured for all of the i w j delegates, but do not wait for the comi mittee to call upon you. Go to your I phone at once and call up Mrs. "West and tell her how many of these deiegatse you will be able to entertain. USE THE DRAG. ; i Noting- the quick results obtained j on the streets of Lamar by the proper ! use of a good road drag, we are con- j {strained to wonder why road drags ! ; are not used more extensively on the (county roads. It seems to us that I when a rainy spell comes along, like i t'izat 6f last week, when t-ne farmers /can do no work on the farm, they : mmii>3t tVoir n-nnlj-J imnrnvp thpir i : ^UUiU, lilt * >? V/UXAA AiAAty* V I V w^v* I ('property by getting out with a split- | ! log drag and spending an hour or two \ 1 on the roads which traverse their j .lands. It is a well known fact that ' | good roads through any community \ j increase the value cf the property.? J Darlington News and Press. Good roads not only increase the I value o'. property but they lessen the 1 expense of travel and saive time and i wear and tare of animals and vehicles. The split log dra/g is a very i simple device and when properly used ' a great helip to the roads. If one or ; a dozen could fbe applied to the road . ^ onH PV?1 nm'hi A I Dec ween uiccu viae ? right now?today?we would have a Igood road. ! The county officials or supervisors ! I should provide the drags and arrange jto pay for their use and see that they ;are used. We are peculiar human' j <beings. We would ride over a big , ditch at our front gate at great inconvenience before we would spend a half hour repairing it for fear some I one else wouid benefit by our labor. So it is with the farmers using t^e : split log drag. If they make the road , good and smooth they can't use it all by their lonelies. Some one else will get some benefit. j In this day, however, the people ' are not expected to do anything for ! ! the public good unless the public pays jifor it. For that reason we say the j supervisor should arrarge with the j farmers along the roads to drag them | and fill the holes a'.ter a good road i-has been built and these farmers 1 J ~ ~ ~~ Thou I 5IJOU1U ue pit 1U 1UI LilCil >vuirv. in^a all property bears it part d;' the bur; den. And tie farmers would not be i : unreasonable in their charges for this | work. | {The split log drag is the thing and ! now is a good time to use it. < I There are some streets in Xewberi ry as bad. as the worst roads in the county. THE BOM) ISSUE. | The Herala and News takes a good ' deal of space in this issue to a report I of the discussions by the legislature i of the proposed bond issue. This Is a very important question before the people today and the probability is ; that the question will be submitted to the voters and they should be informed and this report gives both sides, or the arguments made by the opposing sides. i To be frank we do not know what is best to be done. One time we will j talk with a prominent and successful business man and he will say that Thursday, < i RIM Y "S" 1/ 1 IJ U ? \J> Supported by an Exc< Louvarne Ladies' in the Merry I "Belie1 14?TUNEFUL Pretty Girls?Pretty Prices: $1.C SEATS NOW SELLIN( the issuing of the bonds is the only thing that will save the people from absolute bankruptcy, and then you will meet another equally successful business man in the same line and he j will tell you that it will ruin the State and its credit, and Jiat ?:.e bond is not what we want bir: money, and :Lf there was assurance that there would be no cotton raised next year that the price would advance and money would come to lake the cotton. We admit we do not know. We do know that at the present prices the total cotton crop will n>t more than pay '.or the fertilizer used. We do not know how the farmer is going to pay that bill ajid then pa r for the corn and bc-oon and flour that he has bought. Or how he is going to pay his bank note. And f: he does not how is h? going to arrange to grow another crop. We think we know t:at he will not try to use much fertilizer the coning year. If Ik fails to pay j tno rrprrhflnt and the ba.nk thev will not be a/Me to iel'p him make another crop. We do know that the farI mer should use less 'fertilizer and the present experience will help to teach that lesson. We do know that 'the farmer in this country should make more hog and hominy and raise some cattle and other things that he needs on the farm and we believe this experience will impress that lesson so deeply that he will not forget it, but how about being ab.e to raise another crop and get in position to do t'.:ese things, if he does not get enough or the present crop to pay the ferti lizer 'bill. 1 These are things we should think about. If the bonds will help us over ! the hill we say let us have them. If ! they will ruin the credit of the State j then we don't want th^m. The peo|pJe will have to pass on them and j woat two-thirds of the people say they I ? * a loiv | \wiiii Lire,) biiuuau' inct c. 1 ma taiA. about the mill operative and tie merchant and all that sort does not amount to anything. It all depends at last upon the tiller o'r- the soil. Why this depression and talk about hard Itimes. What has caused it. You say the war. That may be true, in a sense, but after all is it not because the farmer is not getting a j price for his staple that will enable him to pay his expenses, and has it not almost stopped all channels of trade. |lhen alter all, as the last analysis, is not the farmer at the bottom of our prosperity and when he does not prosper do not all other industries stagnate. So if we help the farmer, even if he is in the minority, will we not at the same time help the whole. This is a time when we want all classes and i conditions of our people to work to; ge'ther .or the general welfare. Some one remarked the other dav in our i '.presence that t .e thing most needed I ! now was expressed in two words? c&nfidence and indulgence. That expressed the situation very terselv and I ; truly. "We must have confidence in our ability to pul'l through, and con fidence in one another, and then we i must have indulgence with those who I j owe and encourage them to do the / HOUSE I !

SANITARIUM SITE PLEASES EXPERTS Construction of State Hospital for | Tuberculosis Begins Within Two i Weeks. The State, 23rd. The site for the tuberculosis hos- i ipital was chosen yesterday by'^e ! committee of five from the State board ; of healtih, with the aid of E. D. Som- i payrac of the firm of Wilson &* Som- ' I nnvrnp nrr?T-ntpr>t?: T1ip "hinlrlirior r?n ! which it is thought work will begin ; in about two weeks, will be locate i ! at State Park, on the east side o': the iSouth^n railway tracks and about i one-quarter o. a mile ncri'.east of State Park station. It will be built en what was formerly known as the ! Goings place, which was purchased by the State last year. Previous to the trip the committee teld a meeting at which the resolu- j tion was adopted authorizing the ar- j c'hitects, Wilson & Sompayrac, to ask \ tads made for the erection or the aa- ^ ministration building and leanto for the patients. The cost will approx- | imate $10,000 and th^ buildings will j doubtless be completed early next i 3' ear. "The location is an ideal one,'' said j 'James A. Hayne, M.
