APPALACHIAN HIGHWaY. *" The Laurens Advertiser in a recenl issue seemed to be under the impres eion that the building of the Appalachian highway via Whitmire, Glenr Spring and Spartanburg would mear that it would divert travel away froir Greenville and would make the Appalachian highway the main road to the mountains. That is. not- what we understand by the building of this road, There is now a good road from Spartanburg and one from Greenville to Hen-dersonville. The building of the Apnalachian highway would only make : " two roads from the low county to the mountains and the traveler could then take his choice, or journey by one going and the other returning. The building of this road does not in the least interfere with the Piedmont highway, except that it will create a rival and the one that is best kept will induce the travel. In fact, If the traveler desired to take the Spartanburg route to the mountains he could go via Laurens and from there to Spartanburg, but the Laurens-Spartanburg road needs very much ;attenr tion to make it attractive to the traveler. ' We desire to see the Piedmont highi . ? way kept in first-class condition; and we want to see the Appalachian high* ,,i J i* irill ho 11 n wsy oum di&u, &uu u uv _r to the two routes to induce the travel their way by keeping the road in good condition. IA little rivalry and a little j competition are goods things to have around. Let us build both roads and then let Laurens put the Spartanburg road in good condition and invite the tourist that way. The people along the Newberry way cf the Appalachian highway mean business and expect and have determined to have one of the best roads in the vtate. We are expecting Union and Spartanburg to look after their end ef it. Work will commence on the Newterry end on the 15th. One week from Wednesday just gone will be the 15th when work is to be commenced on the building of the Newberny end of the Appalachian highway. Supervisor Sample is arranging to carry out his part of the agreement to give this road the chain ?v.ang for thirty days, provided the people along the road give, the co-operation they agreed and the people in the towns furnish the money they promised. Mr. Sample stated that he wanted *he subscriptions in definite shape and that the money and subscriptions be <-o subscribed that he could aosoiuien-1 lely upon them and know just what \e was doing. Not that he doubted the statement of any of the men who are pushing this work, but this was the county's business and he was taking up the work on account of the co-operrtion of the people along the road and h e wanted the assurance of a definite arrangement and one tlat may be ab solutely depended upon. We are calling attention to this now I'D that those who are behind this road nay have everything ready so that the upervisor may go right along with 'he work. Get your subscriptions * own over the signature of those who r ~e going to contribute. That is what V e Supervisor means. Xot an indefir ite statement or promise to co-oper: :e. If you have not already got the r. Ascriptions, get them now and this v-2ek. Next week is the time to begin v ork. If you do not have your sub* criptions in business shape the superior may not go to work. The election on the proposition of c :ate-wide prohibition will be held -xt Tuesday. In order to vote in this "eetion you must have your registra' ->n ticket and your tax receipt.

Dns, but vote as an r.one^i sua.:: a;.-- ? fcCOd citizen. MR. R. H. GRENEKER. Mr. R. H. Greneker is the oldes newspaper man, and at the same tim the youngest man in the "busines in the city. He has just "growed up in the business and receive :! training and his nourishment in th ] old Herald office before the birth c the News. He was also identified wit the News as proprietor when it wa ^ consolidated with the Herald, and s " he was present at the birth of Th Herald and News. And for the pas 1 several years he has been with Th 1 Herald and News as its local reporte: 1 He seems almost a part of us. ;He i ' painstaking, faithful, energetic, loya 5 and true. If there is a local or a per sonal he will get it. 'In fact, he has ; - nose for news, and wrhy shouldn't he He has been brought up in the busi ness. Mr. Greneker leaves The Herald an* j News this week to go with our con temporary, the Observer. The Observe: is able to pay him more money thai we could and he goes for that reasoi alone. We regret to give him up, bu our advice has always been to any on who has worked in this office to g. when they could get more pay than w felt able to give. We are alway; pleased to see those who have workei for us especially better their condi tion. Mr. Greneker will do faithfu w^ork for the Observer, and we wisl him mighty well. We have sent many young men t< other fields from this office and we ar< pleased to know th&t they are all do ing well and making good. The Herald and News will contlnu< to gather all the news that is around and serve it to its readers. .The editor has been with the paper a good many years and will now have to do a little more work, but he will en aeavor .to ao u as Desi ne can. The Herald and News is not narrow nor prejudiced, but is a newspaper first. It does not straddle any ques.tion, but comes out in the open. The editor would like to have the good will of everybody, but he is going to do his duty as he sees it, and if it does not please we are sorry. But we bear no ftl will to any one. The Herald and X^ws has stood -for whatever was for th^ benefit and uplift of this community and of the whole people. And we are still here, and not very still either. flM. . 1 i /"IV. ? ? n-^A me uusiuess 1UCL1 v,nayjt;cii!5 ami of Silverstreet should build a cotton warehouse and turn it over to the State or make it a part of the State system, if those towns desire to have a part of the cotton business this fall, and then, of course, make arrangements with the local banks so that money could be secured on the warehouse rei ceipt. Pomaria is building a ware-1 j house and Little Mountain already has j one. We mention these because they j are the small towns that have banks.! If the bank is going to do business this season and the merchants expect to do business, better arrange warehouse facilities and to lend money on the re-1 ceipts. The farmer is not going to sacrifice his cotton this season. FARMERS SHOULD POOL SALES The conclusion of the whole matter seems to us to be just tins: 'mat wnne we must work (1) for better laws regulating cotton grading and (2) for an international conference to revise the cotton tare and (&) for a State warehousing system, the immediately practicable thing is for cotton farmers inj cvarv r> oi orVi +/i crat tntroth PT* ' ^ ^i J avvu *.\J v?w-. | now and arrange for pooling sales of' both cotton and cotton seed. By mar-1 keting 50 to 500 bales together they' can get fairer grading, and more competition in buying, and increased profits from both :hese sources. Or if they wish to hold cotto.: it will be easier to' ?et advances ou fairterms if a group1 of farmers act together. Xor should it ever be forgotten that there are just as great moneymaking opportunities in co-operative marketing of cotton seed as in co-oper-i ative marketing of cotton. In fact,' there is such general lack of information as to standard cotton seed prices, or as to the basis of exchange for meal, that all sorts of shamefud variations occur?far more extreme variations than take place in cotton itself. In an investigation we made somemonths ago we found prices the same daiy ranging all the way from $16 a ton to $33 a ton. Similarly some farm ers get i,ouu pounas 01 iaeai in exchange for a ton of seed, and others 2,100 pounds. j THE .NEWS OF EXCELSIOR it !

Medical treatment is hardly e\^er required to relieve obesity. The people who are too\fat, too bulky or too heavy can change 'their appearance and decrease their .weight wit) .out the aid of a physician if they are in good health. If a man is 20 pounds too heavy he may bring himself down to his normal weight by systematic daily exercise in the open air. Walking is the simplest of all exercise for reducing the wpiffhf ' A five-mile walk everv dav? on stormy days as well as clear days ?is the safest ana surest remedy for obesity. I I Dieting is one of the most successful methods of reducing the weight and j girth and of mitigating some of the j numerous corporeal infirmities. The ! miHHlo ocoA Ti-hn arp vprv fat arp PS pecially benefited by dieting. They shou'd, l.owever, begin limiting the diet very gradually. Broadly speaking, "cutting out all starches and sweets from the diei" is all that need be done. This is permissible for a short time, but must not be done con tinuously, otherwise the health will deteriorate. Whenever for any reason of ill health the weight must be reduced rapidly, a person should place himself under the care of a physician. Dieting >is best begun by dispensing with".'-'everything sweet. Omit sugar from the tea, coffee or chocolate. No candy, cake, pie nor sweet desserts should be eaten. Eat very sparingly of roots and vegetables grown underground. Confine the diet chiefly to meat (beef or mutton), fisn, lettuce, celery, tomatoes, spinach, cucumbers, onions, watercress, cabbage, stale or toasted bread and acid fruits. Limit the fluids taken?never drink anything during a meal, drink after finishing the meal. Beer, porter, champagne and every form of alcoholic beverage must be avoided. Peanuts are excellent articles of food for the corpulent and most enjoyable as a dessert. There is always some danger of doin o- cprmnc ininrv tn th^ bfidv in at - "to ^ V ? ? i tempting to reduce tfre weight. It ' should be borne in mind that an in! crease in flesh and weight is normal and natural in many families as they approach middle life.
