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.

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

Merchants selling cider with too
large a per cent of alcohol had better
be careful. The*penalty is a

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

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.

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

him we desire to say that he was always
faithful and earnest and enthusiastic
in his woi^k and we wisn

very much that it were possible o

Atlanta. Ga.. April 29.
President J. Epps Brown issued
the following statement to the newspapers

cess of the rates superseded by tin n

In any event the change In rates j

Lively Game of Craps. vA
crowd of stockyard employees,
shippers and others boarded a Twelfth

"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-!
