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.

All we have to say to Ed is: "Honi
soit qui mal y pense.''
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>

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 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

A LITTLE MftRE SHOP. i
j The Herald and News has decided
j to shut down shop on Saturday at
| one o'clock instead of 4 o'clock. We
i would be pleased if our customers
J would bear this in mind. 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. And we will give any s
about whose proper credit there is n
J doubt the benefit of the doubt and r
' make the credit according to the rec
j ollection of the subscriber if he will tl
