ABQFT ROADS AND THINGS.
? , ' a
V
It is a sort of habit with me to write s
about roads, and especially tne roaasja
of Newberry county.. I might write o
several columns about the peace re p
gotiations and what the final terms r
should be and what President Wilson j.
should do and should not do and ^
what disposition should be made ot
Kaiser Bill and the war and so on n
and so on, buj in the end it would a
just be a space filler and probably 0
x a
eive a little information, but in prac- j
. tical results it would only fill space.
I will say again that I think President r
Wilson has done the right thing In
attending the peace conference and
that this act of his has my unqualified r
endorsement and I hope that some
one may let him know just how I feel
about it. It is pleasant to have the 0
endorsement of folks in your actions. ^
But ro*4s is kinder my hobby. I y
mean the building of good roads, and a
then the use of the split log drag ?s j ^
another hobby of mine. I was an ad- p
vocate of this gentleman when there a
was very little nse made of him in s
this neck of the woods. And if the ^
people could just be made to realize S(
the good that the application of the u
split log drag does to the road, and d
the little trouble ?nd expense that it als
to use him, I verily believe the use
would be more general, and that is w
the reason I have been such an advO
cate and have had so much to say c,
about the drag If you just keep ham- a<
mering on a thing week after week g)
s*'' ^ you will after so long a time make the
people 'see, and then "Me and Patsy
will kill the bear.'V Just so tiie bear ^
Is killed and the roads are dragged aj
all will be well,' it matters not wTj Sj
created the public sentiment. a]
oi
Rural Carrier T. E. Wicker was w
telling me the other day that Mr. a
Welch Wilbur and Mr. If. C. Spear- ^
man had their tractio nengines out on a]
his route dragging the roads, one following
the other, and that should be ft
commended, and I do commend these tc
gentlemen for their public spirit. ^
With two traction engines the one fol- ^
lowing the-other a whole lot of* road ij?
could be dragged in a day. andagreat p<
deal of good done at' very little outlay ^
of time Would that more a]
of our good people would go and do
likewise, r(
But the particular point of this ar- 0j
tide is to say something about the r(
road to Chappells and beyond. On n
Friday after afternoon at 4 o'clock I n,
hooked up 111 to gp over to Dyson tt
and bring the two American boys and <j]
their mother homeland to see the ^
folks at home. And spend the night st
with them. I made a record run for +>
to ChaDnells making the trip in rj
one hour aUd fifteen minutes, and the
roads from here to Chappells have a,
some mighty bad places in them. The -j
f
. chain gang has done some good work
on the road from Chappells as iar
down as Ridge Spring school And j?
from the Williams place to Chappells lr
the work has been done especially S{
good. The road has been widened u
and the brush alongside cut down ana si
some of the heavy grades partially r,
removed and bridges built. This a
work was done the past summer un- k,
der the supervision' of Mr, Tom R. tl
Campbell. If the people along the way r<
and who use .the road had just co- o
operated a little more and hauled e
some top dressing, and then would use tl
the drag occasionally, they would bi
now have a fine road. As it Is the road ri
Is in better condition than it has been o
for many years, and I have been tray. |
eling it for a long time.s It is now
in very great need of an application t(
of the drag. If it is not applied it ^
will be bad for the winter. h
There was a big land sale up there j r,
of the Williams lands the other day, j,
and if white farmers will just b'iy n
and settle in here they will find good 5
homes in a good neghborhood, and it a
will mean much for this section of tfce 0
county. Young Mr. Will Watkins, I ^
was told that is who it is, has just i,
built a beautiful and modern cottage t]
on the road just beyond the Cross a
Roads church toward Chappells from a
Newberry, and it see.ms from- the t]
stakes along the way that the land r
has 'been cut up in small tracts. This ti
Is a fine community and has long been t]
noted for its progressiveness and the
intelligence of its citizens, and now
that they have a fine school button g ^
it would be easy to have a fine gchool \
if there were more children. I do r
not "know a community where there is s
a finer opportunity for a young farm- s
?
r with a family in which to build a i
ome and be happy and prosperous 1
Vhen I recommended to the trustees j
f the school district to build the
andsome scnooi nouse wnicn mey
ave I had in mind that this large 1
ody of land would be cut up some :
?
ay into small farms and that pro-':
ressive farmers would buy it and :
hey would want first class schools.
Chappells is a good town afrd has'
fine trade and the merchants are
j 1
progressive. It also has a sound and!
uccessful bank that is well managed* \.
nd just the past summer a modern i
.innery was built with all the. im- j
irnvert attachments There are two'
ural routes from the town, one going
nto Saluda county and the other com- j
ug back into Newberry. With a fine
chool and good churches and good j
merchants and a sound bank and an j
uto repair shop and the ginnery and j
ood roads this is an ideal community!
i which any live young farmer might1
eel fortunate to build a home- and i
ear a family.
The road from Chappells on to the J
iver brdge toward Dyson is fairly j
ood until you reach the river. j

3 the railroad part of the bridge
his has been patched but is still in
ery bad condition.. The bridge leans
nd is crooked and looks dangerous*
ut you can pass over. The railroad
art of the bridge used by vehicles I
lso needs attention. Supervisor J
ample told me the other day that',
e was going to build a new approach!1
Don in the new year. The dirt roadj
nder the railroad is in fearful con-1
ition- and almost impassable. It is |
' madhole and then a rise ot about j
iree feet almost perpendicular, and;
hen I got there I was running on; ]
3ree cylinders owing to too much j<
plinder oil and a dirty spark plugj

oing to end my journey there under i<
le railroad track, but owinsr to the 1 j

mely appearance a good colored Sa-j (
taritan who gave me a shove I man-! f
?ed to get over. On the Greenwood ] t
de just as you leave tlie bridge is j \
aother dangerous place for the want t
I a bridge over a drain or ditch, and i
hen I came near the top of the hill! {
le engine went bad again, but Dr. j j
Mlie Hollo way was coming down''
id saw my predicament and kindly I
ive me a lift and I went on without!I

of only seven; miles, as it did
i go from .Newberry to Chappells.
his road means a great deal to me
?ople of Chappells and should be ia r
itter condition on the Newberry side
id also on the Greenwood side. I
ive referred to the condition of thek i

lorities may realize the importance

Barer -than any other route, and c

raw a better trade for the merchants!
the roads were better. I underand
from Supervisor Sample that
ie part of the bridge across the
ver alongside the railroad bridge is
apt up by the railroad authorities,
ud I would suggest that the commisoners
call the attention of the aulorities
to the needed repairs The!
iHing is rotten, and looks as if itj
ready to fall over, and the floor is
t need of repairs, and no doubt the!
ime is true of the stringers that hold
p the floor. The bridge is held by
:eel girders extended from the railaad
bridge and I suppose they ^re?
11 right. At one time the railroad
ept up the entire wagon bridge but
" fTlA noil, i 1
len tne waguus wcut urcr vx*^ j
Dad track, which was very dangeras.
My impression is that Mr. Jeff
tyson who owned the land used by
le railroaad when it was built had
ome sort of agreement with the rail- f
oad for the maintenance of the wag- j
n bridge.
?o? I
After arriving at home I drove over 5
" i
) see my brother, L. Bachman Aull, (
'he is a good auto doctor and got i
im to work a little on 111 and after ;
lat the engine made a pretty good j
un back to Newberry. We left for i
o^?e at 9 o'clock Saturday morning, i
l: ster Mrs. W. W. Daniel, who had )
een on a visit there coming as far
s Newberry with us, but in too much 1
f a hurry to tarry so we left her at
lie station' and she went on to Colum- i
ia. Dr. Daniel has been stationed 1
tie present year at JBennettsviue, ana <
s conference was" in session she wa3 1
nxious to get on and find out where
iey would live another year. Tbe t
otrgh places were easier on the re- i
urn as it was down hill and we made
tiem with little trouble. E. H. A
I have learned since the*above was
rritten that it is Mr. William Q.
Vatkins who has built the cottage
eferred to and not his son as I pre- !
umed it was. They tell me he has 1
old the old home place of his father, ?
/
Captain Bill Watkins, and moved out j
to this new place. He. has made a j
?reat mistake in selling the old home i
which was and is a beautiful country j I
place. He should have kept it and aitj
built this new cottage home for his,
sow There should be at least a dozen <
' a r
more such cottage homes along thisj ~
road.
-oI
also learned that 'Mr. George' T. j
Reid, a aood and substantial citizen !
; ?ga
of Chappells, who owns and lives at i
the old mansion of the Lipscombs. a j 9
magnificent country place of the old; B
style, has decided to move away and;B
go to Greewood. I am sorry he is go- ^8
:'ng to move from his country place, j R
tut 12 ae naa aeciaea to go ne , i
made the mistake of moving to Green- '
wood instead, of coming to the good; I
town of Newberry. He has been ajB
citizen of our county for nfcw some < fj
forty years or more, and has bee'iiB
elosfely identified with all the inter- jl
ests of the county and a leading mer-tfi
chant .of Chappells all these years.
m I very much wish I could have had ' I
time to stop and see my old time!J
friend Ralph Boazman. I would like j
to g:ve him a personal word of sympa- i
thy in all the trouble which has come i
to him recently. He should remember:
that "Through the sad tears of the;
srief giving years" some day "It will j
fc>e morning," and in the darkness ofr
the sorrows, "Peace stills the waters!
where Deep calls to Tteep," and by]
a,nd by he will hear "a welcoming)
song from the sweet shores of Home" j I
saying, "It is God's Morning." I
