TIA POMARIA At this season of the year I like to get up early in the morning and feook up III and take a drive through the country, that is if I have any spseific object in view. I am not much on joy riding, but it is nice to take a country trip early in the morning if you are doing something besides just burning gasoline. Well, last Saturday morning was one of those mornings when I felt that I had business around by Pomaria and Prosperity, and I wanted to be home by 10 o'clock, so I hooked up at 6 o ciock and with my mascot we drove first down to the home of Mr. G. L. Sease, fcut we were too late for breakfast. -I tad not notified them I was coming and then I was scheduled for breakfast at Pomaria. Xof, if the editor or tfce Rock Hill Herald will read this "he will not brag so much about that *ig watermelon. Mother Sease is one of tfce sweetest ana wai nvuca m ^ ibis ccamtry, and Uncle Luke is one ?f tfcose farmers who lives at home, and they together know how to care tbe fcest country hams one ever ate. "Wfey, tfee Smithfield hams of -Virginia can not excel or eren compare witii ~tiie ones you get here. Uncle Luke said it I had come down sooner like a go?d child should have done, I couid have bad an. abundance of fine peaches aad apples, but that they were a early all gone. At any rate he went at and put a half bushel of apples J is tie car. An<l I got a forty pound j fee&a that had been cured for two years and a 20 pound bucket of home raised lard. How does that touch you, Rock Hill Record? Y?e drove on down to Pomaria ana got there in time for breakfast, which I fcad at the home of Mr. J. P. Setzler, , v,' 7" L> " ' *..! '* '** ' " . ?. end tiie fine country ham and fisn and other good things made you feel ife&t it was worth while to lire. Mr. Betzier bad the misfortune to lose tat* iome by fire some two years ago, * ad ie is just completing a new hosis. dLad it is one of the handsome homes ?( the county and has all the modern conveniences, with hot and cold water fet every room and electric lights a ad sewerage, all the conveniences of the eity. It was planned by Mrs. Setzler and is very conveniently arranged. Some of tiieir friends gave them walstat trees and maple trees and hard wood trees and they had them cut into lumber and the floors and wood ft?i<4fcic.2s are of hard wood in all cC tie rooms. They cut 1100 feet of Jwatoer from one walnut tree. Mrs. Sataier takes care of the traveling Men wfco come that way, and I bad feeard that they would frequently make it convenient and go out of their way to spend the night here and to take'meals, and they show good judgment by so doing. The rooms ar$ delightful a-nd the meals make you want to eooae again to get another. The "* ?-* ftimiched bv the Delco wgms lighting system and once the plant is iBetalled the cost inconsiderable, aed it does not cost a great deal to is*t*21. One of the nicest roads in the country is the old Pomaria road and it is ?oaie miles nearc - Pomara than via Prosperity. It is . o narrow and there are some ditches along the side that are dangerous, and if an axle or tfce steering geer should get of or-j . '* - cu-J ah tVia au-! der, while passing me rwu * i tomobile would be in trenches such, as tliey hare in France, but taken a!-| together as roads go in this county it is at the present time a pretty fair) r?ad. If it could just have an appli-l cation of the drag just now as I am "writing this after the rain, then when 4t dried out it would be all right. T *?~ to the good town X UIV1C uu ? of Pomaria and after attending to j tke few little matters of business Wtich took us to that section and getting a nice piece of steak from a fat young country beef that Walter Rieliarisen was dispensing and an !*-: [ vitaticn from h:rn to step a; h!s j j brother's, Mr. Albert RichaidsonJ where all the Riehardsons of that sec- 1 tion were to assemble for a familv re- ] ! union and take a barbecue dinner j 1 with them. I started for home via thej Prosperity and Jolly Street road. I! ] l j was sorry I did not have time to re-j 1 1 I , main over for dinner with my friends j ] the Richardsons, because the porkers'] on the pit as we drove by did loolc i < tempting and I know I would have I i enjoyed the day. t t 5 1 The night before taking this trip I j i was talking to Prof. D. L. Wedaman I ol some other matters and I told him J I was coming down the next morning j s and he invited me to stop and he |t * would put a nice watermelon in the' * , I c : car. Of course the invitation was ac-; k i h cepted and he had a fine one weigh-; u ir.g some thirty pounds. It reminded me of the days long ago when my: father and mother lived in this com-1 a munity and we would go from preach-! ing at St. Pauls to Uncle Dave Weil-! E aman's for dinner and the good things! n' they would have to eat and the tine' watermelons they would cut out >n! j S the yard after the dinner hour. And f ! tc at Uacle Jobn Riser's who lived close ; I by. Thase were good old people antr j fi they always had plenty of good things j I a: A-af in<3 Urn WorJornan rvufr in fViA K ! 3 car a bafket of pears and apples and! a ca?telo*pe. And she gave vg a j n < y\ sample of some home made cheese j i a which was fine. Just as good and a! i Jx little better than the cheese you buy! <L and she said she made it herself and, 1 C that it was not much trouble to make. | It was real cream cheese. * !* ?? ; ? As we were driving along approach- p Q ing the Major Jacob Bpting old place j we saw some one waving us down ans we thought maybe there was trouble . but it was Julius Epting who lives | ^ i there', and he said lie just wanted ? I . . c | to ?ay to Gov. Manning (he said Man ^ I ntng) and to Dr. Cromer (he said j Eea Crbnier) that if they were zo j t strongely in faror of war to get out . and'shoulder a musket and lead the t boys and that he would go along with them, but he wag just a little bit tired f i of these fellows hollering about the i . . i1 -a ?^hamoalvAC 4>11iV1 Tlttr dUU gV/IUs5 WU9UA4QV* v WV| > ?^ ^ he recalled some instances of tie , civil war, and then he said he gave j ^ oat <m to the Spanish war and I tw-< derstood tim to say foat he jad threv! . in this great war. I hope it is not1. lese majeate to pass this on at the re- j t i quest of Mr. Epting. We should all j. remember that the speakers and or- j t I 1 jators a?fe a part of t^e ^reat war nia-j j chine. It is necessary to have som~ | ? one to go around and educate the < DeoDle aad inform fchom of what tills i ! war is about, and w&y we are and! / t ; should be in it, and when ihe people \ ! see then they will do. Some must-,, ! speak and some must act and some:, I 1 must fight and som* must make gun* ( ' and powder to kill mer.' with and j $ j some must grow prorisions with1 f ! which to sustain life and so on to the , I 1 ! end there must be cooperation all < i ; I along the line, every one doing; faith-- ( j 14 ] fuly and well his part whatever that; I .

Esi pecially when so many people drive it for pleasure and business, and It ^ does seem that they would bfc willing to agree to put up a small amount c | regularly aud make arrangement for t j the proper upkeep of the road.

A. t ? t i A Tin I' TO CAMP A linotype machine and an automobile have many characteristics in coranon. Certainly there are two. When the machine runs good and is in good working order there is no nicer or prettier machine made. The same is :rue of an automobile. When it runs it is a beauty and moves so smoothly, but when it is dead it is the deadest thing in the world. And neither naehine is to blame per se. When :hey get out of gear or adjustment all :kat is needed is the proper adjustnent and off they go again. For the past few days we have had ^^ Vwl r\ + a lin/vfrrwi Kllf" T rtJUie HUUU1C mm IUC 1U1UIuuv .. rust that it is going all right now. Lnd old III got in the bad a little on Sunday returning from Greenville, 'lit it was no fault of hers. The feed ipe for the gasoline to tre engine got lied up with debris and no gas, or t least not a sufficient quantity, could >f>d and therefore, the engine could ot go round. But she is all right ow als). I decided to take a trip to Camp eveir on Sunday to see my boy, airl ) take a look at his quarters an.1 se how the camp looked. I asked my *iend, B. B. Leitzsey, to go with me nd told him I wanted to start about! o'clock so as to drive while the ac-: losphere was pleasant and oracmg. | i fe had to come in from the country rki just as the toNvn clock struck 4 e drove up with his son, Barney, ani bout half past 4 we were in the road, karley West also went along and the lascot, a pretty good load, but we aa-de the trip to Greenville - by half >ast eight and had breakfast at the Htaray. The road from Newberry to Kinards ?. fairiv 2ood but from there to fountain Inn, all through Laurens :ounty,: it is worse than I have ever ;een it. From Fountain Inn to Greenrille, which is part of Greenville oouny, it is the best road I have found n the State- Nothing to do but lei ;he wheels go round. Except when rou pass through one of the towns. The only ciricism I would make of Jie road is that it is possibly a Utile too high ia the -centre, but the? lay that it is necessary to build them iiat way so that water will not stand ii the middle of the road. All the irains and tie only creek hare perffialent cement culverts and with juzt i little attention this will be a good voad for years to come. I understand hat with the million dollar bond issue jood roads like this are being built ill over the county. The people x>uld make no better investment. And [ noticed that on the roa^l froEa Greenville to the camp there has beea >uilt several miles of cement road, i >hould think that would be too-.es> >ensive. In. fact, I rather, drive OT&f :he other road. It seems to me thai, n the little towns like Simpsonriiie ;hat the ioad should have been buiit 'ighp on through the town just as it &ere was no town there. The propjrty in the town pays its part of tlio :ax for the road just as the other 1 1 property, and it aoea uvt ?xnt u?** tust to skip orer two miles just ??:ause theer happens tote a little incorporated. town. Hie crops from Newberry- all ttia ray up are ?s fine as could be desired, rhe cotton looks good and the corn s plentiful and fine. If nothing corn's along to destroy the crops the fa/ner3 of this section will surely reap in abundant harvest. Bv the way, Laurens has just toted i big bond issue for roads and I ex)ect before very long that county will rovo ?nmfl finp. roads also, because bey har* a county supervisor ip here who knows how to build roads, ie can not start too soon. We reached the camp about 10 >'clock and soon found the boy at lis tent busy with his bookkeeping, is I believe it is the duty of the '*top" Sergeant, as they call him, to keep he records of the company. He Is ooking well and says that he lik'?s he job of being a soldier. Weil, iince he is at the job I am glad that ie likes it. Most of the boys had gone o the city, as they have permission o be absent on Sunday until about i i G o'clock. "\Vc did see a fe;v oi til' Newberry boys who are in this com| pany. Chappell and Cromer and twc ; Longs and maybe some other?. They 1 are all looking remarkably well and , healthy and robust and tough. I mean hardened. They say they ha 1 ; some work to do in digging stumps 1 and cutting down trees and grading ! in order to get the grounds in good j shape, and there is much work yet to be done. There was no evidence of Sunday about the grounds. Men i were digging trenches and laying pipes, and the sort drink establishments and cigar stores were doing a good business. Teams wsre hauling lumber and men unloading cars and the heavy trucks were going back and forth between the camp and the city. Well. I reckon that is war, and when the boys set over to France and in the trenches they will not even kno?v when the "Sabbath day" comes "to keep it holy." There is a Y. M. C. A. tent - on the grounds and the boys were around it and there was geod order and gentlemanly bearing in evidence everywhere. I had a very pleasant and satisfactory talk . with (Captain Vandirer of Co. K. in which my boy is. I was pleased to know that Captain Vandirer held the boy in sucb high esteem and to hear him speak so well of him. I did not get to see Col. McCully. He was not at oamp. i We drove back into the city about 1 o'clock and had lunch at the restaurant and dro^e around town and made a call at the Greenville News offilee, but all the force was observing ! the Sabbath. I wzs told that Editor McKissick had gone off to the moun | tains to cool off. Sorry I missed him. ' We had a pleasant visit to the Brown brothers, Ned and Joe. They seem to be doing well. And I called to see my friend Dr. J. P. Carlisle. Green1 rille is a good tc wn and if I wer? ; going to leave Newberry I would not mind making my jiome in Greenville, i . - . _. I .
