It Stroll) qqO Mem. Mttrcd at the Postoffice at New It-crj, S. C, as 2nd cia^s mauer. * H AULL. EDITOR. Friday, March 2, 1517. The game warden matter has gone into the1 courts. All on account or factional politics. There is some part of Boundary street where the split log drag coula he used to great advantage and to the great improvement of the street. Why not use it? It would take but a short time to drag it. Hurrah for Newberry! She has xprm th? Stflfp amnion shirk in ha<a ketball again this year, which is the third successive year that she has won. Now we want to see the boys go to it and take the medal in the inter collegiate oratorical contest. The mass meeting called for March 7, which call is signed by prominent merchants, bankers and farmers, we hope will be attended by many from all parts of the county as well as by all in teh city who can possibly be present. It is of utmost importance. It the call as published in Tuesday'^ papers was overlooked by anyone we urge a reading of it in this issue, as it is reproduced here for the benefit of all concerned?farmers, bankers, merchants, and all other business and professional men generally. In these war and high cost of living times, "some cooperative plan looking to the establishment of a county marketing system for all the products we grow," which the meeting has been called to adopt, is of the greatest concern to all the citizens of the town and coun ty. It ought not to be necessary to impiore people to attend. The call should meet with a unanimous re sponse. rne toiumDia Kecora is acivocar hig an early morning train from Greenwood via Clinton to Columbia in order to give the people of this section opportunity to spend a few hours in the capital city any day they please.^ As it is now, Colum bians can come to Greenwood and spend the day any time they please. ?Greenwood Journal. Why not ask the Southern to bring up its train from Greenville to Co liimHio o cAiinlo firwirc earlier anil hold it a little longer in Columbia. Let it leave Greenville say at six o'clock in the morning and leave Co lumbia say at 3 or 4 o'clock in the afternoon. That would give from four to five hours in the capital and give opportunity to the people all the way to Greenville to spend a few hours in the capital and return the same day. We do ntft see why the South ern does not do that any way. We notice that the Clinton paper is advocating the putting of a Pull man or chair car on the C. N. and L between Greenville and Charlestos. That would he nice and we would be glad to see it but it seems to us if anything is to be done on that road i: would accommodate more people If the morning and afternoon train on the C. N. and L. would start at Green ville in the morning and return to fJrppnviUp in fho oftornnori oo if Annii did. That would give the people as far up as Greenville an opportunity to go to Columbia and return the same day as they once did. Such a schedule was in operation on this road "at one time. Suppose you take that up with the railroads concerned. - ?^ "Editor Aull of the Newberry her ald and News says he works twenty hours a day.

The city of Anderson voted $125, 000 bond issue on Monday practicallv unanimous for street paving and the bonds were sold on Tuesday. This is not the first issue of bonds for this purpose. When this money is spent practically all of the streets of the city will be paved. What is the matter with Newberry? We should be doing something along this line. What is the committee that was appointed to get up the petition Cr oVimi + +Vi a m ot+or 9 It is very gratifying to us to see the great number of counties that are going ahead in the matter of road building. There are now about four teen of the counties that either have already issued bonds for road build ing or that are going to vote on the question in the near future. Marion vdq nnp Af firat talro thia ctem That was -several years ago. And only recently Greenville issued nearly a million for road building and they say that they are getting some fine roads in that county. SpartanbuTg is leading in the work with an issue of one million dollars. Laurens and Union are both going to vote on the question. We say it is gratifying to us be cause, as we stated some time ago, when a member of the legislature some twelve or fourteen years ago we introduced a bill along this same Hr?o tr\ orof fKo nQAT\] a tr> liu^ <IW4 WV/ bUV uv take up the matter in this same way, "but we were just a little ahead of procession, and they would not. If they had done it at that time and had gone into the work in a "business like way and under proper supervision and intelligent direction we would have had some good roads, and the people would j&avsa mtf | lions of dollars in money actually I I wasted in patching up from, year to ! year and going along without any j roads. j But the time has come and we arejt | gla-d that we are still here to see the j ^ ! good work go along, ana only regret | b 1 that our Newberry delegation did not j | do more for the matter of road build- j f ! ing. The people of No. 4 by petition ! u ; asKea mat an aci De passeu permit- (j ting them to vote on the question of j issuing some township bonds for f road building. That is moving a lit- 0 j tie, if the people will vote it. We v I wish we had known it sooner that the \ i people were thinking about it, be- . cause we believe we could have made s a suggestion or two which would have t helped them in the matter of voting the bonds, but now it may be a hard c . job to get the bonds to carry. t j Somehow we cannot like the idea ' of the office of probate judge becom- i ing the liquor dispensary. And that j is what it will be as soon as the quart a month act becomes effective. t i ? i flrw VTannincr hue nnthincr fnvthfir ^ i to say about the game warden situ I ation and Mr. Richardson has nothing ' to say, except he did tell jthe reporter for one of the daily papers that "I am still running the office, and that today I have sent the State treasurer a check for $1,238.75, amount collect , ed since February 1." , Somehow we do not feel that there is going to be any war witn Germany t and the United States. That was not j a war messlge of the president to the congress the other day. The peopie do not want any war and the presi- s dent knows it. If some of the news- c papers that are writing so much war t and are so eager for the United States c to get into the war with Germany c would lay aside their pens and go on to England and get in the fighting ^ the chance for peace would be much T better. Maybe they could lick the c Germans before breakfast and end I; the whole thing. It is generally the c people who do the most talking about ^ fighting who do the least fighting. ? We didn't go to war with England s when she put an embargo on our cot- y ton and made a war zone around Ger_ ^ many and we cannot see why we s 1 should raise such a howl when Ger- ~ many puts a war zone around Eng- t land. We may have the right to go a > where "we damn please on the seas' h ' as Tillman says, but we didn't "damn c please'' to run our ships into the y . mines laid by England, and we can- jj ;uot see much difference in the .situa tion. And doift misunderstand us. s f vVe will do as much as some of those who talk more about it, to defend s i American honor, but we do not feel like having to fight because some d 'American just for the excitement of j being submarined and sunk at sea goes on some ship and rushes into the war zone. | There seems to have been some misunderstanding as to the time when ? i the commutation tax must be paid. f?Ve understand that the senator says he is satisfied that the time is out on the first of April but he could not a ' make affidavit to that fact. We call- P ed up Mr. Dominick and lie was not P sure but thought it was the first of p March but that he would examine his* j o files when he went home and let us! e know. ! s We decided to call up the comptrol ler general in Columbia and find out! v definitely what the law is. He was j ? kind enough to examine the records; ^ in the office of the secretary of State i and he tells us that there was passed f and signed by the governor a special act as to Newberry and Lexington | counties extending the time to pay' I the commutation road tax to the first' a of April. | 1 Inquiry at the county treasurer's1 n office reveals the fact that up to the s first of March there had been paid1 ? in commutation road tax in Newber- i r ! ry county almost $2,400. There is one; month yet in which to pay this tax.! The delegation estimates that the in- v1 come from this source will be $12,000 , r in making up the income of the coun- \ e : ty. r c , Wednesday's Honea Path Chronicle = % has an account of the two recent 11 ' basketball games, one a?

The editor . j will be on hand to receive visitors 1 ! and receipt for any amounts that are | to be paid, but we hope to let the i boys off at that hour. Of course, If there is anything special to be done we will not turn it down, but we think t it is right to let the boys out on Sat- 1 l urday afternoon especially during the summer so that they may play base- t ball or engage in any other sports e that are helpful. d Also we want to say that all whose j i time was out on March 1 and who | r have not renewed will be taken off j on Saturday. And those who have heen held to make corrections and 1 who have been writteD to will come off unless we hear from them. We c will be glad to keep all of you with us, but it takes money to make the srhost walk.

Another friend. Mr )aniel G. Worsley, writes us the ex serieuce of Dixie school farm as fol dws: "Our patrons were called to meei February 18, to consider the matter tnd selected a level three-acre tract 'hey gave eight bags of cotton seec neal and eight two-horse loads o table manure, while the Planters ottonseed Oil Company gave one tor >f fertilizer.
