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

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 _

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.

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 |

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.

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

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. I
