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.

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

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

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. A.

At Last!
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.

"Do yon remember how we used to
scold Josh about oversleeping hef',,vl
