AULL, EDITOR, _ _ I Friday, 31ay 2, 1919. j i 1 Wouldn't it have been a nice thin? if the government had just thought i of it and given the boys who were in j service a hundred dollar victory bond * in the place of the $60 bonus. A grea4; i many of them would have kefct the; bond as memento but in the event they needed the money so bad that; it would have been necessary to sell it t6ey could have realized on it. That would have been a fine way to j have discharged a part of the debt we owe and it would not have been nec- j essary to lend tn^ governweui quit--, so much. But then 110 one thought of it in time. ^ i ! , i Gov. Cooper wants to put $120,000.- ! 000 in good roads within the next I six years sperfding fl^ro million aj year. No better investment could r^e j matJe if the money is properly spent, | v>and we have to trust some one to " / spend it, if we ever expect to have any roads in this country. Just how he proposes to raise the money he has not given out but says he will j have the State highway commission,' to prepare a series of bills for pas-j sa^e at the next session of the legislature carrying out the plan. We have long been an advocate of *' I building roads and the only way we ] know or ever heard of is to spen^ money to do so, and money spent for i roads if properly spent, even *'f rais-j ed by taxation, is different from other | taxes in that it is one of the best | ! investments that can pe made ana; will pay bigger dividends than any; other investment. Other taxes go from year to year to keep the machinery of government running and is necessary, and the money that we , have been spending on roads has been going very much the same, just -- ' -13 i- ?V. patcning ana cne same uiu paiuims has to be done over every^year. , V * I It is now May and maybe that machine will get started on its journey to t^is office, and then it will v . not he so difficult to edit sf paper. ? -"-1 _ll +V?<il _ Yon know you may gamer an news you are at)le to find, and you may write columns of stuff, 1>ut if you can't put it in type so as to be printed it does not count very, much. Still we are doing fairly well, thanlc / / you. r Merchants selling cider with too large a per cent of alcohol had better be careful. The*penalty is a chain gang service with no alternative fine. They have been warned. There is talk in the papers of let ' tmg Germany have some cotton, but this board of some kind at Washington is to say how much* or to have some restrictions placed on it. The embargo should be lirtea ana iet Germany and all the rest have all the cotton they want and can pay for so that the idle people in the old world could go to work. If employment could be given these idle millions it would settle many vexing j problems. And until the idle are put r? wnrlr there is groins to be labor [ troubles and all other kinds of trou-j b!es that you can name. The move-j ment of cotton would mean a whole \ lot of movements in other directions j ^ i ?????? . i There was a brief acute stage in; the peace conference over in Paris Irst week because President TVi^on stated publicly that he *voi ityl .not T.e. bound by any secret agreements an:1 n-riclo :1a."?' tl'e n?ti-i'*7, tsie Unl v* K'-ates. the ' talis n rf-prc-cntatl'. ^ < * > ??? r. ^ **0 j * "O ' | tfoubt in on i* mind iliat the pp.-cterm* will be agreed upon very sooii nnd that President Wilson will have the points he laid down as the basi? of the terms, because he is riirht and right ar.d justice will prevail at this conference. o AT LAST, For many years, even long before the automobile came along, and when the mules and horses were afraid ot the railroad trains, The Herald and News has constanlv, in season and mavbe sometimes out of season, ad vocated the removal of the grade crossings "between Prosperity and Newberry And possibly in that position we have made some of our friendss along the wsCy who did not agree with us a little angry. They felt that it would injure their property by changing the road, and then someimes we feel, and it is a natural feeling, that this road has been here from our boyhood and was here in the days of our father and we want it to remain. That is a natural feeling and one to which we are very much attached, the love of the old order and the things that are old o.mniv Wfliup thpv are old. OH1I pi J V~w^ _ But in this matter there was always so much danger to innocent people who travel the road, of injury to person and loss of life, that we have felt the crossings whereever possible should be removed. And specially in this day of increased traffic on the railroad and increased travel on the public road it had become' necessary to get rid of these dangerous crossings. Some time ago it was stated that - * ? the owners of tne property >wm wc supervisor had agreed to p~' rai on the damage to property, ' the county was to pay the L. xdals whose land, was taken for the value of the land and whatever damage was done as agreed upon by the arbitrators. The county selected L. W. Floyd and the owners of the property selected John Cousins and they selected itf. B. Caldwell and the three met a short time ago and assessed the damage and the county, secured the deeds to the land and paid iho owners. .. * Well, now, as we drove down the road on Wednesday we noticed that the chain gang with a 6-mule scrape had actually commenced the opening "* 1M Allf M of the road, and w<ts 1 dvmg uui. ? * ^0-foot road, having commenced at the crossing iat Mr. Schuinpert/^ place and going down,to the Fellers place near Prosperity. So we may expect at last to see this road relocated and these awful grade crossing removed. And when it is clone \ and a good road is built with the V grade crossings out the people who object will wonder how it was possible that they were not heartily in favor of it all the time, they will ba so pleased with the new location o? the road. " " - ' V..M1 Jnmn And the roaa is 10 De uum uu uu^n to Little Mounain, and some more of the crossings down that side are t<l be taken out, and it will not be so very long before we will have at least one fine road m Newberry county all the way from the Lexington line to the Laurens line. ' Supervisor Sample promised that we should be the first to drive over the road as soon as it was opened, hut no doubt there will be others who will have that privilege. It is good enough that it is to be. H W. ttRFKTEKER. The editor along with many readers of The Herald and News regrets that the changes in business and operating of the paper make it necessary not to retain Mr. R. H. Greneker in the local field.

Lively Game of Craps. vA crowd of stockyard employees, shippers and others boarded a Twelfth street ear at Sixteenth and Wyoming I streets, Kansas City, after the rush | hour one night. Among thjem were | three waiters from a restaurant. As ! the waiters paid their fares the con' ductor, in making change displayed ' i two dice?"bones," devotees of the i game call them. j Kninnn T caa" T?omqrVorl atia i *vu ?, | of the waiters. "Sure do," was the reply. Without more ado the waiter threw a halffdollar upon the floor, saying: "Letvs see how good you are." The "bones" came out and clattered; : merrily upon the vestibule floor. Then I the game became general; several oth- j | ers besides the waiters and the con- j | ductor participating^ The car stopped ] several minutes at the lower end or ! the Twelfth street viaduct, while the ; motormah came back and watched the | game. Near the east end of the viaJ duct the car was stopped again. That: time the motorman got into the game. It ended when he and the conduc-! tor had "cleaned up,", as they say in crap si:voting circles, the other participants "having parted with their i spare change. 1 / * * ***? ? ?*? * ? SCHEDULE.
