#|s Jeram and Jems. fettered at the Postoffice at New S. C., as 2nd class matter. t H. AULL. EDITOR. Tuesday, November 14, 1916. ABOUT ROADS. Somehow I just can't help writing about roads and the split log drag. This beautiful October weather, which bas been extended away out in November, just tempts me to drive a little bit when I ca. ?-et the time, and very Sunday I t? . my rest by riding about a 'little. It is a legend Tn the Anil family wnicn I nave neara since I was a little boy, and it goes "back to the Rey. Hermann Aull who preached for the people because he felt called to preach, and who made his dailybread and his living by the sweat of his brow, and who was reputed in bis day to be one of the very finest mechanics o? the time, that he would m^n -oil-in. -arm-kerf at the W 4U\.M n 4-v ww ( trade with him, wh.en he thought they ire re tired and needed a rest. "Now, boys we will rest. You may law aside the little saws that you are using en4 take up'this cross cut saw andj rest by using it." In other words, hisj doctrine was that a change of labor i i or occupation was rest. And when you come to think of it there is a "wfrole lot of truth in it eren if the change is irom ngnt worx 10 uea?ici work. Be that as it may, I take my rest these balmy days riding about a little in 111. I do not feel that it is wrong, and then I get to see a little some. : thing of the country and the roads. A few Sundays ago I went on the train to Dyson, and my brother, L. B. Aull, met me, and when we started home he I said he had to go to Saluda. Well, I-) concluded that I would go along. It! had been a long time since I had been down that road towards old Goodj Hope Baptist church, and I was glaa j of the opportunity not only to see* j again the town of Saluda, but also! to see something of the country over which I had roamed as a boy, and that "has been some little while ago. Sai?/*o a fina *?nnntv. This section ilAUC* *.?1 M ?V ^ ~ _ ^ , through which. we went is a long way from a railroad but the farms are V nice and productive and the people are prosperous. The cotton and the corn crops all through that section are as fine as you care to see any year, and with the ,high prices the farmers should male a good thing from their farms this year. The town of -dluda is growing and has the air of prosperity on every side. I could write a long story about the town and the countv. but that is not the purpose of this article. I published the first paper that was printed from the court house, and before there was a court house, and formed ; the company that published the first paper there. At that time Mr. B. EYank Sample was the editor of the paper. He was the father of Supervisor Sample of Newberry. The paper was printed at Newberry before the people decided the location of the county seat. There were three places contending for the honor?Mt. Willing, Red Bank, (the present town of Saluda) and Denny*. We made th^ fight first for Dennys. That lost and in the second race between Mt. Willing and Red Bank we took up the light for Red Bank and won. At that time there was nothing there but Red Bank Baptist church, ajid the present town was a pine field. The old wooden "building of Red Bank church has been torn down and there is now on tlie spot a beautiful and modern brick structure that is a credit to the com\ munity. I saw my young friend B. B. Hare "and he looks prosperous and is doing well practicing law. He says the people of Saluda will cooperate with any community that will bring a railroad across the county. There is need of a railroad from Newberry wio Ooluflo +/> TTM<?n^ Anoxic ? UUiUUa VU tv -L-iVA^V^A-A^U. -i.AVA.J5 to. It should tie built. But this article is growing too long and I have not said a word about roads. They ha- i some good roads in Saluda, but .& wanted to talk just a little about the road from Newberry to Columbia. On Sunday, November 4, I drovg^tcTColumbia. Mr. J. R. Davidson and my mascot went with me. We made the trip in three hours, aprl when we eot to Little Mountain I tried to find a new route from there to Chapin, and got just a little out of the way and came into the town of Chapin in the rear of the school building. After we drove into the town of Chapin Jim remarked that he had - never seen the towfc. of Lexington. I immediately turned ajid went by that good old town for I could not bear the idea of a friend of mine living in New- > berry who had traveled at all to say that he had never been to Lexington. The road from Chapin to Iexington * ~ ? *1 J frnm T ov inert A11 +n f^nl 11 7TI _ 13 auu uuw ub.\iu5vuu ..v. bia is fine. The town of Lexington is rebuilding, and from many viewpoints the fire was a blessing, for now they have on the burned district fodern and handsome brick buildings which take the place of the wooden structures which stood there before the first. I met D R. Haltiwanger and took him on to Columbia with us. He writes more for the daily papers from Lexington thaji any other country correspondent in the State. I also found Jordan Pool over there in the drug store of R. B. Harmon. And you could buy a soft dring or a cigar. It is not -1 A *-"- i* Vi oil eflrte nf Vll11P i EL ClUStJ IU WU Y> Kli (U1 OVl M V4. wamv laws. I spent a couple hours in Columbia with the boys and Jim concluded that. 1 he' would remain over, &o I had the return trip alone with my mascot. We made it home without any trouble of any kind. Just as we w^are coming up the hill from the Broad river bridge 1 a big car came puffing up behind anJ ! rolled right along by 111 which, was 1 a- -I!?t. j.v_ VJ11 TTiall | tugging away 10 cnmu uie um I occupants spoke pleasantly and there were several very pretty girls who smiled sweetly but at the same time ' with a sort of ?you know, they look- 1 ed to me like they didn't think much 3 of 111, but we tugged on. 'And just as we passed Chapin we saw a big 1 crowd in the road just ahead of us, standing around a big fine car, and ?' about a hundred pickaninnies enjoying j1 * 1 "T~TT ~ ^ ^ l f TUQQ I ! j tile signi. we urure u?i anvi it .., the same that had run around us at the hill. We smiled, it was our turn,)' and asked if we could t>e or any as- 1 distance and drove on around them still standing in the road. Well, 111 1 1 is not much on looks but we generally i go and come. But I started to say something about the road. From Chapin to Columbia the road is all right and especially from Whetstone branch which part is in Richland county. But from Chapin to Little Mountain there is need of a road, for there is practically no road there. How- about hav- ( ing a meeting down about Chapin and ask the supervisor of Lexington to come to the meeting and see if somej thing can't be done to get a road for 1 j this five mile stretch. If we could get j Commissioner Watson interested may be he would call the meeting and get the people stirred. The road should be changed. And the main street ol Little Mountain needs to be worked The portion from the Lexington line to the town has had something done to it. The rocks are all piled in the middle of the track and there are many tons of weeds all in the moddle of the road. The Newberry end does' fairly well but it needs to be dragged. 1WV5 must do something about this roadj or we are going to lose all the travel1 fm-nr. fho IrnE- nnuntrv tn the moun-1 I" 11 Wilt wav *w r, ??-- ^ tains. It should be lone now. How i about it, Mr. G. Y. Hunter? Can't you j take the initiative and get a mov^nent j started to give us a better road from Newberry to Columbia. We will h.elp you all we can. There is another thing. While I am on this subject, and as I said, I do not ride about very much, but what T a* t om nlmns+ convinced I XittlV A UW, A UAU ? V ? that about threefourths of the drivers of automobiles and Fords are fools, and I do not mean it in the offensive sense. ^ But they are reckless. And about half of them don't want to give you any road at all when you meet and they never think of slowing down, and if you don't get out' of the way, why you will just be) run over and left to do the best you | can. There is urgent need of some traffic regulation and then to have that regulation enforced. The wonder to 1 me is that there are so few bad accidents. But then I suppose I am out of date and can't keep up with the procession, but even that does not change my opinion. I am never in such a big hurry, and I generally i slow down and give them the road! ! and let them go by. E. H. A. We are glad that upervisor Sample had the old lumber and other rubbish removed from the old court house: building and permitted its use by the | /-w+V>or> nior'hf o "hnnp it ! j 5-^uuuio vtuvx ii w ?wrw means that this building will now be fitted up and used for public meetings of all kinds, and then maybe the school could have a series of entertainments for the benefit of the school and the pleasure of the people. In fact the building should be so fitted up that it could be used for public_meetings, of all Vinds Tt is well suited for this purpose. The Herald and News feels that it is in home sense responsible for the building not being torn away j some years ago when the matter was j submitted to a vote of the people. We ; opposed the pulling of it down, having in mind at the time its use for these i very purposes of which we are now , : speaking. Some of our friends want-, ed it pulled down and removed, hut we thought it too good a building and that it could sei ve a good purpose and we believe all will agree now that we were right. WEDDISG PRESENTS. A bachelor,?I came near saying an' Jt) -U ? A.U /\M .?.U AM T V* ! Uitl uctuiieiui, >vucu i uiuciuucicu that in this day and time there are no "old" bachelors nor "old" maids,! there are only bachelors and bachelor maids. A few years ago when < girl was not married at twentyfive, why she was an "old maid," but then girls married lots younger as a general rule than they do now, this has been one fine i change from the good old times that we have heard j so much about. But to get back to my story, the' svt n-Vi/-irvi T <tru">lr<a ir> thI UayiiUiV/JL y Vt r* UVUX J. ?J^VUU iu WMV i beginning, recently attended a wedding, and <as everyone knows they are the poorest ones possible to give a.ny information in regard to a function of this kind. If society reporters iepended upon them for information there would soon be no society department in the newspapers,?but still I am digressing, this particular bachelor, "of the first named in the first part," as the lawyers would say, rofnrn fr/Vrr< tVl O \VPH f 11 g" 1 UjJVll. uxo x ^ I.* vm .. ? 0 . was asked for some information. Ke said, "Well it was <a church affair, about as usual. After that they svent home and had a supper, and looked at the presents." And right here is where lie began to shine,? "I tell you there is more money i trown away on useless stuff given to! brides than anything I know. This; bride got six dinner bells." It wasj suggested by the listner that the diff^ erent bells might be used to de-; signate the days of the week, have each one numbered, and then the, young couple would have no trouble keping up with the day. He went on to say, "I never saw but one sensible present in the ?n-; tire lot, and there were two or three tables full of all sorts of gimcracks, representing lots of money,? and that was something to cook! hominy in." One of the ladies present said, "Oh yes, that was a cas serole." The old?(there it just will thrust itself in)?bachelor, said, "Well I don't know what you call it, and il may have that high-falutin name, but it just looked like a kinder skillet to me." When the lady explained that no one would -buy a thing of this kind for a wedding present unless it had a 1 "big" name, the 'bachelor looked dis-j gusted, and said that even that pres-1 ent wasn't as sensible as he thought.
