f~ ftK fjwiili) and Jem Entered at the Postcffice at New- : 5?Ty, S. C., as 2nd class matter. E. H. AULL, EDITOR. Tuesday, August 31, 1915. , We saw tfce split log dra^ being used with, good results on the roads of Spartanburg county. The same results would come from its use on the roads of this county. Try it. It looks now that the farmer is going to be able to get money on his cotton if it is stored in th$ right sort | of warehouse. The thing is to get the f warehouse facilities and the farmer will be master of the situation. CThe Newberry Herald and News eays ex-Gornror Blease's speech at Bosun was a good one. Mucn oongea for the information, Col.?Anderson Intelligencer. You should read it, my boy, and then you would be in position to judge for yourself, and witu your sound judgment we feel sure you would agree with us. The Commercial bank announces that it is ready and willing to take care of the cotton situation &nd is prepared to lend money on cotton. The president says he has just returned from the "k"r? 4-'umid itiqHo tha nor>P5 xwruiciu auu uiuuv I.UV sary financial arrangements to handle loans with good collateral. It is a good sign when people who have money feel that it is well .to advertise t?ie fact that they have money to sell. "Last fall there was no such condition. It means that better times are coming V _ I and that they are not so far away. - ffo, - V The editor had the pleasure of attending the children's day exercises on Sunday at Bachman Chapel church. There was a' large congregation pres nt, many more than could get in ti:e church. The children did well and one thing that impressed "the stranger was J that there were grown-up children in the Sunday school! Mr. G. I. Kinard Is the enthusiastic supeintendent. The o TTAVO rtlAnfroi/lA fVizi H*QC aivu^oiuc %.?x^ ui beautifully kept and everything had a n-eat appearance. We feel a deep interest in the people of this community and it is pleasing to note that they are moving forward in church and school matters. The road across to the church needs the attention of some one. It Is in worse condition now than it "a as twenty years ago. \ v The National bank is still making the announcement that it is prepared v< . to let every farmer L. Newberry county have money on his cotton warehouse receipt. The rate and tee time will be made satisfactory. If you have cotton and want to keep it off the market and thus help to get a fair price for it, the National bank will handle your receipts, and we have no doubt the other banks will do the same thing. If toe banks throughout the cotton belt will do this, and we have no doubt they will, the price of cotton should advance. It will not be necessary to force the cotton on the market, but the farmer by this plan will be able to market his crop gradually and in this way help to keep a fair price for it. ? fCW^lLIV lflir APPALACHIAN HIGHWAY The interest and enthusiasm in the building of the Appalachian highway goes on unabated. It seems now that it win De Duni. iue oooster mp ana speech-making tour on last Friday and Saturday stowed that the people along the way are more interested the more they think and talk about the building of this road. Col. Watson Came through from Columbia on Friday morning and was joined at Newberry by several cars and a number of the citizens. Col. Watson was a little late on account of the strenuous trin hp had taken tihp dav before and as a result the party did EOt leave Newberry until nearly 12 < o'clock on Friday. In the party from Newberry were the following cars and occupants: M. i B. Clisby's car, with Mayor Z. F.., (Wright, President J. Henry Harms, Cashier M. L. Spearman .and P.. H. Wright. W. 'G. LM'ayes' car, with J. T. 11 Mayes, F. D. MacLean, Forrest 5::m-; mer and Master H. T. Summer. Sheriff C. G. Blease's car, with Supervisor Sample and J. R. Green; E. H. Aull's car. with President j B. C. Matthews and E. M. Evans, D E. Schumpert's car, with John iT. Cromer and M. M. Buford. 'And "Bill" Smith with his car, with L. G. Eskridge and G. L. Robinson and Dr. W. E. I Pelham riding with Col. Watson, as far J as 1 am able to learn made up thej \>wherrv nartv. There may have been | others. At Whitmire the party was j joined by Mr. A. P. Hurt, with his car, carrying Thad W. Coleman, W. R. Watson, A. J. Holt and Z. H. Suber. Mr. Chris Folk of the county drove is car and had with him Sam Domi nick, Will Suber, Ben Caldwell and! Joe Dominick. They traveled ahead" of the party on to Spartanburg.. The first stop was made at Gibson's, ^ ' * 1 1 ~ ? J /vV?

I am not going to1 undertake to report any speeches, but will give the names of those who spoke | at the various stops to indicate the interest that is being taken in ti-is high way improvement. Col. Watson, Mayor Z. ?. Wright and Supervisor Sample of the boosters on the trip,spoke at * Brown's mill and Dr. "W. C.'Brown, representing those of the community, spoke at this place. Dr. Brown re counted some very interesting historical facts connected with the community and the State which it would be well to preserve, and we have the ? promise that the facts will be written and recorded. The next stop was at Whitmire, where another enthusiastic meeting was held. The Rev. J. M. Fridy presided and presented President Matthews, LaCoste Evans, iMayor Wright, .fresident narms, ^01. watson ana l,o:. Wm. Coleman. After indulging in a ham sanwich, the party drove out for Union. The run was made in short order, though tnere had Deen some rain ana tie roaas for a portion of the way were a little heavy, but on arrival at Union the party was entertained by the chamber of commerce witn luncn ana a meeting was held in the public square, over which Senator Gordon Hughes presided, and he presented Gal. Watson, B. C. Matthews, J. Henry Harms, Z. F. Wright arid T. W. Coleman. The next stop was at West Springs, where Col. Watson, Dr. Harms and Sheriff Blease made short and stirring addresses. The party rolled up to Glenn Springs about sundown and after parking the cars for the night enjoyed a delightful luncheon delightfully served by the lady members of the Glenn Springs Community club. (There were sandwiches of all kinds and hot coffee and ice tea and the luncheon was greatly enjoyed. After the social hour an -ad dress of welcome was spoken by Mr. L. J. Williams, who is spending the summer at this famous resort, and then Col. Watson took charge of the meet ing and enthusiastic speeches were made by the visitors and local people. Dr. W. E. Pelham of Newberry, Mayor rtn x? ~ j* TT? Tir.:^A YYiiariuii ui uiuuu, jtiayur wngML \jl \ Newberry, Secretary Kennedy of the Union chamber of commerce, K. P. Boggs of the Community club of Glenn Springs and T. W. Coleman of Whitmire were among the speakers at this meeting. After a good night's rest and an early breakfast at *6lenn Springs, I left for Spartanburg, with the view of com ing on nome Deiore tne spartanDurg meeting, but ti':e rest of those in my immediate party desired to remain over for the meeting, and we remained. It had rained some on Friday night in that section and the outlook was for heavy roads and hard driving, but, on the contrary, the rain just made the road fine and it was fine all the way back to Laurens. From Laurens down there f~.ad been no rain and the dust i was in evidence. Aj. Spartanburg the party was taken in charge by the chamber of commerce and Paul Moore, the efficient secretary. The meeting was not held until 12 c ciocl;, waiting on the band from Ui.'ion, and some of the Union continent. but when it was called to order by Paul Moore the public square was lined wit): people and there was genuine enthusiasm and rousing good speeches were made by Col. Watson, B. C. Matthews, Mayor Wharton, La Coste Evans, J. Henry Harms. Col Watson was speaking when I left at 1 o'clock. The chamber of commerce seived a nice luncheon in their rooms and everything possible was done tc snow that ti-is city is interested in the i buiiding: of this road. Most of the New berry party returned at Spartanburg or Glenn Springs. Dr. W. G. Mayes and the party in his car and iMr. A. P Hurt and the party in his car went or to Hendersonville. They were joined by several cars at Spartanburg. T"h^ trir> wfl 5 a VPTV SUPCGSSful Onf from every view point. There were nc accidents- or car troubles of any kinc on the trip going over, not even a tire puncture or a blowout. Col. Watsor on j is big car did have some little trouble with one of tLe wheels of his car. We have heard of no trouble or the return trip. The roads, especially in Xewberrj county, have improved perceptibly since this agitation began of the Appalachian highway, and when we onc< get to real work on the building o this road we expect to see one of th< best roads in the State. It needs wid ening and grading down ana nnmg n at several places. There have been good rains betweei Newberry and Spartanburg and as '< rule the crocs are looking fine anc especially is this true of the sectioi in Spartanburg between G!enn^ftf?ing< and Spartanburg. Some of the Spar tanburg roads are very fine and thei t-ere are some that are not so good and I guess that is the case almos everywhere. But if we in Newberr; could just get it into our head tha' we can not build roads with grass anc weeds and that the roads should b< wider and the ditches should not rui in ti:e'middle of the road, we woulc have better roads than some of th( others, but we are coming and we expect very soon to see a whole lot o] the best roads in the State right here in Newberry county. rE.
