A LITTLE OUTING It is my purpose during the present year to make several little trips around about the county, and where I find some farmer, and there are many of them, who is making improvements and doing things that are worth while I am going to write the story, not only to help him, but to - ? " ^ * */v MiV AM#) A euv.uuia.5e uiuess iu gu auu uu i?awwise. There are lots of good storiss all about this county, some of historic interest, that have not been written, and then there are lots of good stories of contemporary interest that if written would be helpful to others. But just now we are not in position to handle anything very much, but f hope it will not be many days betcre we can say, send along whatever you may have that is of interest and helpful and we will print it. But I started out to say that I hooked up III on Sunday morning and , loaded up my two American boys and their mother and Mrs. Alice Boozer and her little girl Carlton, and made the trip over to Dyson to spend a few hours with the folks at the old nome. I had not been there for some iittie while, and I make it a rule to go as j often as I can, even if I can spend only a short time with them. We drove the Dead Fall road via j Silverstreet. It is rough and bumpy,; but the trip was made in good time: for me( and, we did not nave occasion to stop until we drove up at home, i There are several little bridges along the way that are in great need of at-, tention, and in fact I would call them dangerous for a horse or mule. Of course with a car you can go over carefully, and even if you fall through the fall would not be so great, but a, mule or horse is in danger of break-' .. ing a leg. They should be fixed at once. The approach to the river , bridge at Saluda is in good condition and a good job was done on it. But the road and the small bridges on the \ other side are in bad condition, anl I wonder what is the matter with , Greenwood county that no attention seems to be paid to the roads in this section. And Greenwod is one of the counties that, if I am not mistaken,is voting or has already voted bonds for road building. There is need of work , down in this section of the county, and then this .is the main road from, the Chappells section of Newberry county to Greenwood and Ninety-Six;and is traveled very much. The best piece of road work that has been done since Mr. Sample has been supervisor is the road from Williams to Chappells. It is a rough and hilly road, but it was worked out J 4.1? 3 good some ume ago ana me rua,u utru widened, and would today be in fine condition if the old road drag could just be applied to it at the right time. Most of our roads are too narrow at the best. This section of road in question needs to be dragged, but if that were done it would be good, barring the hills, and III does not mind them very much. I had understood that the Dead Fall road had been top dressed and worked a short time ago, but if so there is not much evidence of it at present. Wei orinvod ot th<-> nlr? hnmp flhnilt 11 o'clock and found father and mother well and in fine spirit and glad to see us, and ths sister doing only moderate. Our brother-in-law Mr. A. D. Timmerman was home for a week or ten days, I say home, because he is now dividing: his time between home and his place down in Colleton county somewhere about Wiggins. He is "stuck" very much on that section. I mean by that he is in love with it. I rather think he likes it because there is good opportunity there to hunt and fish, and he is something of a sportsman and loves his dogs and his fox chase. But he says it is a great country down there and I reckon there are in fliof CQAfiATl ?>1 cat 111 IJ-llAV WVVV*VA*# I promised the old folks to go with them to Walhalla on Saturday so that they may be able to spend Easter with their preacher son, the Rev. W. D. Aull, who is serving the Lutheran congregation at that place, and I am going unless something unforeseen - A Al 1- T Til Happens 10 prevent, iiiuugu 1 wm have to come right back. If they live urtil the 22nd of May they will . celebrate the 63rd anniversary . of their marriage, and we are going to try to get all the children, and grandchildren and great-grand-children to gather at the old home on the 23rd of -May and have an old fashioned bar Jbecue and picnic .and invite all the . neighbors to be there with us, I trust nothing will prevent any of the descendants gathering pn this occasion. ... i wish very much T could have the gathering down at the Aull Hills, but f am not yel quite prepared down :'iere. but by another year it T should live I hone to have my bungalow ready for sr':!i a v-.ithsriTigr. Ciit enough. We had a ;>leasant little J outing and made the trip -without I mishap or accident or trouble of any; 'kind and got home about 6:30 feeling ! glad that we went and hoping that ' before many moons the road would be improved and the small bridges repaired so that we might pass over in safety and that horses and wagons j would be able to do the same. It is ' no joke. Some of these little bridges j j do need immediate attention and o! ! course the road needs the application! of the split log drag. I i E. H. A. j i ?? j j The reader will observe that th^ j ; above story was written for the pa- \ per for last Friday, but we have do; cided to print it any way just as it j ' was written. ! ? I I I made that trip to Walhalhi and j j took along my oldest American hoy. j Tl*e old folk wen': and stoj-.l ihe trip j ls well, if not a little better, than < ' i some of the younger ones who were ; along.. The weather was ideal and the preacher brother and his good i wife and the six little girls were very \ glad to see us, and it was not a simu- j ' lated gladness either, which made us! ' feel good that we went. I always enjoy a visit to Walhalla.! I have never had the pleasure of a j great many visits, but this is a fine j section of South Carolina. I spent some time there a little more than j four years ago, and went somewhat j over the county, and I was amazed at' the fine farms that cover that section I and the good roads and the elegant country homes out there in the mountains. And I will never forget the fine crops they had that Vear. It seemed to me that that one county would make enough corn to feed the state. And the cotton was good. Ancl( there is an abundance of fruit in the ( county. , | We went up on the early train; which gave us the afternoon in Wal- j halla. My preach >r brother has aj good and kind father-fn-law, and I i judge* from the fact that he drove down a few days ago frOm his North . * '.I Carolina liome and brought his sonin-law a handsome six Quick car, and so the preacher now can ride around j and enjoy life, at least until he lias to ... .. I purchase a new set of tires, and then ; maybe the father-in-law will make j another visit. - These big cars are; mighty fine and the Buick is a good \ car but when it comes to buying tires j it takes a pretty good income* to do so. i But the preacher brother seems to be 'getting along mighty well, with his j work and the people seem fond of him. When I was there last it was Christmas 1917, and during the evening there were exercises at the church and they forced me to make a talk.j This time a good many of the ladies on/1 fho mAn ton reminded that ! one of the preacher's brothers was there on Christmas, and I was a lit- j , tie reluctant to acknowledge that I j was he, because I was not so sure I whether the question meant that a good impression was left or not But any way the folks are mighty nice and I was glad of the privilege of spend- j ! ing a few hours with them again. j During the afternoon we called to see Mrs. J. Steck, the widow of the late Dr. Steck who was one time pastor of the Newberry Lutheran church. She is now 84 years old and while confined to her room as ' the result of a fractured thigh which she sustained some two years ago and ; which hf?.3 caused her to be a shut-in, still she seems to be enjoying good health and was in fine spirit. She I does not remember many of the New- j berry people but sne seemed giaa to see me. All of ber children are m! Walhalla. On? son is the editor of j the Keowee Courier and one daughter j . is the wife of Col. R. T. Jones and ^two are widows and one is unmarried. J There was a lot of travel .on Sun- j | day. The train was crowded going up ^ i ? trt a ! ; on saiuraay ana coming uacis. ounuay i afternoon there was scarcely stand, ing room most of the way down. The ! | colored people seemed to have travel- j i ed out that day to visit or to go to; i I church or to a picnic. At least at, several places they had to be packed j in the coach to get them on. And there were lots of white folks travel-j ing about also. Many of them had' beftn home for the week end to spend! Easter and had to travel Sunday even- j ing to get back to their jobs on Mon| day morning. School teachers and scho#l children and clerks who are working away from home wanted to go home for Easter and had to be bacl; Monday morning. And then; thorn arn still 11 srood manv soldiers: moving about. And I wondered why! in the rearranging of the schedule the J Blue Ridge so arranged its schedule, that there is a wait of one hour at j Anderson. Why not leave Walhal'.a one hour later ane not have that awful v.-.r* at Anderron. And that reminds me that I nof-'cc.] the service flag at that little Lutheran church at Walhalla and I think there are fifteen stars in it, a pretty | good proportion for the membership. ?0?I Talking about roads they are buildi ine a fine road from Walhalla to Highlands and when that is completed then I am going back on another I visit. I would drive III but since that Buick is up there we can make out | with it for a few days. E. H.

There are few cyclists who, when compelled to execute repairs to inner tubes by the roadside, have not longed for unponcturable tires. This desideratum now seems to bar? become an accomplished fact in Sweden, where j the shortage of rubber has caused ! great efforts to be made to find a satisfactory substitute for the pneumatic tire. The new device consists of a thin strip of hardened steel supported un ine rmi oy springs, ine comninanon being said to give results comparable with those obtained by the use of rubber. Skidding is prevented by the sharp edge of the steel tread, while such tires are. of course, quite un puncturable. Whether the new device will survive when rubber again becomes plentiful is perhaps doubtful, but as a war-time measure it has proved very useful.?From Chambers' Journal. The Sugar Shortage. Colonel House at a Paris reception was talking about the French sugar shortage. "The French sugar ration is a pound a month?if you get it," he said. "usually you aon t get it, ana men you buy your sugar clandestinely. The price is SO or 90 cents a pound. "After enduring the French sugar shortage for a' month or two," the colonel ended, "you think very longingly of the peace-time plenty soon to come, and you appreciate as never before the wonderful beauty of the dear old hymn, 'In the sweet by-and-by.'" , Reading by Ear. A new invention for the blind enables them to read with their ears. It is a machine called an octophone, by means of which flashes of light from the letters as they are printed cause certain sounds, easily distinguishable by the Initiated. The sounds vary with the shapes of the letters, and very high resistance telephones trasmit these to ths ears of the blind person, "reading' with highly satisfactory results. Early Rising.
