I (be jeralD onH Jots. Catered at the Postoffice at New**rry, S. C? as 2nd class matter. E. H. AULL, EDITOR. Tuesday, June 13, 1916. A SIMPLE STATEMENT The Herald and News stated some time ago that we would be forced to take off our list some of those who have not paid unless some arrange ment was made. We have not done so up to this time. The adavnce in the price of print paper makes it impossible for us to carry a large arrears list. We make you this proposition: Any subscriber >who "will send us $1.50 between now and the first of July we will send The ?ierai<i ana ^ews ana me jrrvgre&sivj Farmer one year. Another simple f statement is this: We shall regret to part with any of our readers, but all whose dates are in arears further than 1916 who do not send as much as one dollar on the subscription by the first of July will at that time be taken from our mailing lit. It is not a matter of choice but of necessity. We had thought of writing you a personal letter but that will take stamps and time and the label on your paper ?hows the date to which you have paid. Pipase attend to this at once if you want The I^erald and News continued. It is a simple matter of business. We must pay cash for the white paper and the price is 50 per cent, higher than it was three weeks ago. The subscription remains the same. We hope ycu appreciate The Herald and. .News sufficiently to comply with this re-juest. If not we better stop it. in taking off names we will be no respector of persons. The president of our company, Mr. j A. H. Kohn, directs that we must col- j lect these back subscriptions or take 1 ttie names off the list as the cost ol j f white paper to send the papers would fce quite an item. <A,nd we guess he is correct. But if you will send the dollar as we suggest even if it does i not pay you in advance we will take j the chance of keeping your name onj the list until fall. If anyone will say that he is not able to do this and wants the paper the editor will assume the amount and send it on. We are not begging you to do this or trying to urge you to stay with us. We are just making a simple statement which we must carry out. It is a netTi:orvf vrm tn remain if i CCSSiLJ. ?YC nail. J ys you will but if you desire to remain surely you -will be willing to send the dollar. IMr. J. W.

RAPID TEAS SIT CO. The secretary of state has issued a commission to the Carolina Rapid I I Transit Co., with a minimum capital j of $50,000 and maximum capital of $3,500,000. The petitioners for a -r tti t? ??u~ /"Mint/in cnarier are j. r. jawus vj. W. L. Gray of Laurens; iW. H. Gray of Woodruff; W. B. Patton of Cross Anchor; R. P, Morgan of Union; T. D. Thackston of Cedar (Springs; A. M. Law of Spartanburg; J. W. Copeland of Clinton and P. V. Moore o! Spartanburg. nnl A r^rirl ir:ll ho J.ne termim uj. uc wau nm (Spartanburg, Union, Woodruff, Enoree, Laurens and Clinton. The road will pass through Laurens, Spartanburg and Union counties. The road v.'ill be So miles in length and elec triciiy will be used as the motor power. The new road will pass through one of the richest agricultural sections of the State.?Clinton Chronicle. This is the read that The Herald and News wanted Newberry to be interested in having- the road ooine r i resentative 10 the initial meeting we j believe that would have been ini terested in having too the road come via Newberry. There is more neea of a road from Union via Whitmire and Xewoerry on to Saluda and Augusta than any section of South. Carolina and there is no richer territory in the State. It is all right to go to Laurens and Clinton and wherever else it might be desired but what we wanted to see was the road coming to Newberry. Thero are persons now living who can re member when Greenwood was about the size of Prosperity in population and business and Newberry then was almost as large as it is today. A town to grow must have transportation facilities. Railroads are town buildl ers. If we expect to grow we must have railroads. If we are satisfied with ourselves in every way then it is no use to worry. It is not too late yet to do something to get $ome of these electric lines that are going about over the j country. But to get them we must wake up, and go after them. THE APPALACHIAN HIGHWAY AVe had the pleasure of making two trips to Whitmire last week. It is always a pleasure to (visit this little town and meet the good people who live there, and especially was it : pleasant to attend the closing exercises of the high school and to note the progress that has been made in the educational development of the | community during the past four | years. We feel a just pride in the | part we took in starting the educa; tional development ;n the community, J and we also feel a personal pride and | a personal interest in the success of i t)he school. Prof. C. B. Hanna and his j able assistants had a very successful ! year. It was a pleasure, we say, even though the accident which befell our Ford on the first trijj made a secouu trip necessary. Jurt before we reached the town on Monday our Ford went dead. Fortunately Mr. TV. J. Atchison came along at the same moment and we shoved the Ford to the side of the road and drove on to town in bis' big car. He sent back that night and hauled our Ford in. It is but just to 111 to say, however, that this is the first time in a service of more than four years that we have had to haul her in. Mr. Atchison is an expert Ford fixer and he put her back together and we came home with her on Saturday running better than in many moons. It was through the courtesy of Mr. John 0. Goggans, Jr., that we got to Wihitmire on Saturday morning. He left Newberry at the early hour of 4:30 with Mr. Guy Brown at the wheel and be fore six a. m. we were in the town. And you should remember that it was a little cold and an overcoat would not have been uncomfortable.N But it was fine, the air was bracing. The town was just beginning to stir when we arrived. One reason it was a little late in stirring the Masons had held a meeting the night before and they were up a little late. We had breakfast with. John Morse at the i hotel and enjoyed it very much. We made the#trip home Monday night in Mr. P. B. Odell's transfer wifch young Mr. Odell at the wheel. That was an awful fire they had there some time ago and the town is suffering from it, but the merchants, who were the victims are happy an l cheerful and have xaith in their town and are going about rebuilding even better stores than they had before, and within a few months everything will be moving in the same old way.! There were some as handsome stores in this town as you will find in many places much larger, and they had the business. The latter part of this month they are to have chautaqua in Whitmire, and it is to be a big thing. The gov ernor is going to make an address and there are some fine numbers for the chautauqua. We will have more about ihe chautauqua in a subsequent issue^ But it was the Appalachian highway about which we proposed to ^ ? write at this time. !t is a very good road. The section from Mr. Charley S uber's on to Whit mire is in much better condition than the section from there to Xewbt y.. This is due. we are told and we are satisfied it is correct, to the fact that the people who live along that section have dragged it pretty regularly. Mr. Charley Suber and iMr. John M. Suber and others who live along that ' end take a personal pride in keeping i it in condition, and they do the work. In fact the Whitmire people did a great deal more to make the road possible than did the Newberry people. Newberry did not do her .part in the first work. But there is more that should be done to the road and we suppose iXewberry will be given, another opportunity to do her part. It should be widened. We are told that on the Union side it has already been made thirty feet and the heavy grades have been taken out. This should be i I done on the Newberry side. Some day not so far distant if Newberry does not do something this road will go right on down by the Wadlington place and into the Pomaria road at Fork cnhool and by Pomaria to Columbia. It is three miles nearer from the Gibson place to Columbia than it is from 'Newberry. In other words to turn at ihe Gibson place and come via Newberry makes the distance to I . j Columbia some twelve or fifteen miles I further. We have referred to the road, how; ever, mainly to call attention to the ! value of the use of the split log drag ! in the maintenance of the road. Mr. I John M. Suber is correct when 'ho j | says that it is better than the scrape j and it costs very litle to use it and i you can go over a lot of road in a i i day. The road is good all tne way ' as roads go but it could be improve'! by widening and dragging more frequently. I ^ I The roads of the county as a rule I 'are in better condition than we ha\e ! j seen them in many years. A drive 1 down the Pomaria road the other day i | a^ far as the resideno-e of Mr. G. L. : i Sease found that road better than we i ! have ever known it to be. I ppf ? ? mm. ' I ? *? _ fci ? ^ - * - " * - .IT f' '' '' < i !
