/ M- OB0 jjtm | tillered at tUe Postoflice at New?! S. CM at* ami cia$s matter. __ | R. H. AULL, j Friday, April 4, 1919. | AS TO ROADS. Congressman Lever in a speech in Columbia on Saturday said he would not hesitate "two and a half min-utes to call an extra session of the legislature and urge the passage of som? good roads legislation," if he were the governor of the State. That he would rather be the father of a good roaas movement than any other thing he could think of except his two children over in Lexington. ;Well, that sounds mighty good and no doubt Mr. Lever is a good roads advocate of the right sort, but it is very difficult to say just what you would do if you were the other fellow We do not take a back seat to any one in the advocacy of good roads. In fact, we were advocating the building of good roads when we almost stood alone, and when Mr. Lever was a school boy at Newberry college, and we have lost no opportunity to do so all the years since we have been connected vith The Herald and' News. And yet if we were governor we are not prepared to say that we would call an extra, session of the legislature, especially in view of the fact that the legisla ture has just adjourned and the present governor urged them while in session to pass some sort of good roads law, and they would not. The responsibility for failure rests with the legislature and not Tatth the governor, and if he were to call an extra session and 'they would not again, then where would he be. The cost and trouble of the extra session wouM be laid to his door. Those who ? are now urging him to call the extra session would tie among the first to say that he should, have known the sentiment of the house and that there had only recently been given the op-' 9 / , portunity to pass some sort of road legislation and they would not. Then we should look at this thin<jr in a practical sort of way. Under the * estimate of the highway department of the State it is stated that if Newberry county for instance should match the federal aid it would have some $134,000 and with that we could build only-about 6 miles of one kind of road and 38 miles of-another kind on** ira r\n nnt hatiflvp that the DeOole are just ready righ^ now to spend that much money for that many miles of road. ; It seems to us that the. only way to start the building of such roads is for the State to match the federal aid appropriation and then go ahead and traild a couple cross State roads where those in authority might think was the most feasible place to locate them, and when the people can see what such roads mean then they will be in position to be argued with for larger expenditures for permanent ? J Vi. XI A. roads, 'mere can De no uuuut mac money spent on the building of roads is a good investment and should not be classed among ordinary taxes which are spent from year to year to keep the machinery of the government running. And when we build the kind that we call permanent some provision should be made for their maintenance, because as a matter of fact there are no permanent roads, and unless you provide for the maintenance, the permanent roads will cr>rm hp in had condition Better let the discussion go on- for a little % while and give the legislators a little more time to find out what the people ' think and what the people want. ? The above was written for the last issue but owing to our inability to handle a great deal of type under present conditions it could not toe used. <:nv Fnnner has since riven an nouncement that he will not call an extra session of the legislature. We agree with him that it is very probable that not to call the extra session will hasten the accomplishment o! the object sought In other words U will give {he boys more time to find out how the people think about the matter and if they find that the people really mean that they want some road legislation it will come at th? next session and to call one now might result in failure to agree on nything and would he an expense to no good purpose. Roads will come ;md when the people fully realize that Ave must start somewhere if we ever ?ret anywhere the objection that we 'an not build all the roads at once Aviii disappear. t I THE HE! JiLD AST NEWS ONE YEAH FOR ONLY HM */ . . TRAFFIC KEGITLATIOSS. The Herald and News has seven: times aforetime spoken of the in: portance of having some traffi^ re? ulations, and the greater important: of having them enforced. In Columbia orders have been i> tr? thp nnlice to enforce strict! all of the traffic rules and regulation and violators are being haled J)efor the recorder and dealt with as the should be. In this day of many motor cars an inexperienced, and worse still, qarc less drivers, it is very important i the public safety that there shoul be some very strict regulations, ar more important .that those reguli tlons be enforced. Of course, i every one had the proper regard fo the rights of the other fellow ther would not be so much need of regula tions, but somehow in this day w seem rqi 10 nave a. very m.mi icsm for the rights of the other fellow. Ii fact, most of us seem to go on th pre&umtion or the hvpothethis tha we are the only ones who have an; rights, and the other fellow mus look out for himself. We are surprised every day whei vfe do not hear of some accident righ here in Newberry. There are sign all around jfor .cars to stop, but u many cases they pay no heed to tb< sign, and if they do they stop afte they reach the middle of the cross ing, or after they have gone entirel; over it. There is not much need t< stop then, and certainly it would bi considered very bad judgment to sto] _ \ ^ .,v I on the centre of a railroad crossing if we were doing so to avoid the ap proach of a''train, and why shoult +v?o Mmfl tMn*r not hp true a<? to ; V"V p ? ? ? ? ? street crossing? ,No good to stop then or even after you have gone beyom the crossing. The ordinance in reference to let ting cars stand for ten minutes 01 cerain streets seems to have the at tention of the authorities more thai any other. That is all right, but i would not hurt or do any damage t 'permit a car stand for a few minute ""ai* .nmo if thfk nnrviimnts were hav \J * Is A 'VlUUkV li VMW ^ ^ r ? _ ing business in the store or offic< and especially if it happens to 1) some of our country friends. Mayl? they are just loading some article that they have purchased and would be very inconvenient to carr the articles to the car. No use to I ?0 very exacting in this ordinanc when there are so many more th* are so much more needed to be ei forced. Besides, since the lot thi had been used for parking 4s bei? used for a new garage and there now no place in which to park car Unless, the party is really bloc&ha traffic a minute or twOr over* tin would <jdo no one any injury, uple: he is just unnecessarily permittir his car to stand there. There is nee for the use of discretion in > the ei forcement of all laws. And the e: ercise of some- goo* common sens Fact is, the town will- lhave to pr< vide some place in which our counti friends,- most all of whom now ric motor cars, may park their carsa. *x? Some of the merchants seem i think that it will do harm even 1 suggest that under the new time * should observe the same old 6 o'cloc as the ;hour for early closihjg c stores, and that we were mistake in stating that the stores opened i the same hour and that instead * saving an hour it was really makin an extra hour. They say that tb 1 1- i--*? iUc stores now open an uour later, me is to say at 8 o'clock instead of o'clock, as formerly: If that be tru if. still makes the hours the-same an so far as daylight goes there is n saving*or losing on either end, an that is the season we said it was very silly and foolish law. The mei chants also say that when the store did close at 6 o'clock new time ther i % was more selling of gasoline than b fore and that instead of the time be ing used in working war gardens was spent in motoring over the com try for the pleasure of it. Well, tha is all right because some pleasure i needful and helpful. The only goo we see in the new 'aw it move up a 'passenger trains without changin schedules and some of them we woul like to see moved up a little any wa; and then some of them moved bad but we can't have everything juj like we want it and if we could w would nOt want it. So as far as w are concerned personally in the daj light saving matter it* makes no di: ference to us, because we get up z sunup usually and keep on going ur til midnight and the hours on ti clock do not disturb us except thz sometimes it is a little difficult t get accustomed to the new time whe we have to attend meetings. The they say it does not suit the countr people because they like to drive * .town late in the afternoon and deslr I to hare the stores open so that the may do a little shopping, i ! ....... -< ' [ * rid f We regret more than oar Prosperity |correspondent that we could not tl handle her newsy letter that came i- in on Monhd&y.

The new organization is now ;n e, charge and when that new machine '' gels here about which we have talked 11 so much, we want our correspondents " from all over the county to send ns ' - . w the news in or:er iorm u.-j.u im-i: communities, and we will handle it ^ promptly for them. It is the purpose to make The Herald and Xews a re^! 1 county paper and to cover the wliote t conntv.

This statement alone should an incentive and an encourage ; ment to the boys and the older boys e as well to o-o into the hog industry. e If one dealer in a small town like [3 Newberry sells that amount of hogs why should it not be a profitable iny dustry for our people to engage iu e bog raising? And it will be remembered that pork sold at a very high price the past "season and there is no prospect that it will be any cheaper the coming season.
