|k genii and Iitered at the Postoffice 4t Hew* wrrj, 8. Cn a? 2nd class matter. E. H. AULL, EDITOR, Friday, May 30, 1919. Cotton goods have advanced about equal to 12 cents the pound advance for cotton. The farmer who has his chmilH hold on until it reaches the minimum he set for it, 35 cents the pound. At the present price for cloth that is cheap for cotton. And they say that the mills are not eager to sell at the present advanced price of goods. No use for the cotton grower to lose out now by rushing his cotton on the market when he has 60 near won the fight. Mr. C. E. Sum. mer savs that cotton will sell very soon at 40 cents the pound and that it will be cheap at that price in pro portion to cotton goods. / ABOUT ROADS AND THINGS. This will be mostly about roads.

It is not going to be near, so long as it has been before we will have roads in this country, the people are beginning that the heaviest tax they pay- is for. "bad roads. You would scarcely be'justified in reaching that conclusion after traveling over some of the roads we now have, if tha judgment were to be made on the condition of the present roads. , It takes money and muscle to build ?

But to get to the subject! On Thursday afternoon we rushed out of the printing office into 111 and picked up the two American boys and their mother and started for Dyson in Greenwood county to attend a family reunion syt :the old borne on Friday, the occa9ioij|keing the GSrd^anniver. sary of the ioi&rrige of father and mother. The story of the gathering will be told in a subsequent issue by Mr. Johii' K. vSull, one of them, and therefore I will not write more of i^ - now, except to say that I feel it will interest many of the readers of The Herald and News as the Aull family ' I- really belongs, to Newberry county. At any rate*^% will print the story The most direct route from Newberry to Greenwood is via Chappells . and the people who live along the way are entitled to a road over which they can travel. From the Greenwood line at the "Saluda river crossing, the GfeenwOod supervisor has opened a road out to Godsey which is almost an air line afed which shortens the distance some two miles, but it eeems thai in recent years he 1 has forgotten that the road is open. I i liave been there several times in the last year and the road from the river out to Dyson gets worse, and there is a little bridge just after you cros? the river that has i . been broken now >for the last year, and does not improve at all by neglect. _It is almost impassable, and*I would like to suggest to the editor of A the Greenwood Index-Journal to remind the county supervisor that there arp still some DeoDle residing down in this side of the county and they have not yet petitioned to go over to Laurens, Saluda or Newberry, and that they feel that their section of the county is entitled to a little attention given to the roads of that sec. * tion. We do not see why the county does not keep this road in fine condi1 - tion, because unfortunately a good normio from this side Hi a, u y inewucnj pwyv w.? have a notion to go to Greenwood to do their shopping and would prefer to go via auto. We would like to have them get the habit of coming to Newberry where" they should come, but we can't advise it i^til the road this way is put in better condition. Fact is this road should he the county to county chain of State wide roaas ? we are to build first the roads con"THE RED LANTERN" OPERA HOUSE TUESDAY Showing Continuously from 12:30 P. to 10:30 P.

But Just a little work right now would put this stretch in| fine shape. But from the Williams place on down this way there are - fj. some holes in the road tnat you can i shun, even if you were disposed to drive out in the field, that will almost swallow 111 and they could be fixed with just a little work. I do wish that Supervisor Sample could send a force up that road now and use the scrape on it and fill these holes and then we would have, at least until tne winter rains began, a fairly good road. And fix some of the bridges. I can not specify but attention i3 needed all the way from Newberry. ;The approach to the river bridge at Saluda has been built and it is in fine 1 shape and the bridge across the river I seems to be all right, but my, the 1 holes and ditches in the road from there right straight on to Newberry is something fearful. Mr. Sample, please give these people just a little showing in the matter of roads. You know, this is'a fine section of i sNewberry county, and I believe that the people will cooperate with you as they did when you built that section from Williams to Chappells. i . ?o? j Chappells is a good business place ' and there are several flourishing stores and progressive merchants in the town and they are a fine part of our county. They have a fine school and a fine community spirit and ail oi us should be willing' to encourage it in every way that we canv and if the officials wpuld or could give some attention to the public roads just at this time it would do more than anything we know to make them get a movey on themselves. j | I know it is very difficult fop.tho Supervisor to do all that the peopl2 a ? with fho mpann at. YVilill UI CApc^t imu v?"< ? ? his disposal, but a little work on this very important road jusfat this tim^ would be worth a whole lot more than if the work is postponed to some future date. } We spent a very pleasant day at the old home, and-all of the 6 children were present, the first time, all of them have been there at the same , time in many years. And several of the grand children and great > grand children were there also. *And Mrs. Kate Monts of Little Mountain, a relative and friend of other days was present, having journeyed from Little Mountain. She is now SI j years old but does not have the api riMMnfo nf hp in tr more than 45 or .50, and I have'seen some people who looked older at that age than she does at 81. ; j It took me a little more than two and a half hours to make the journey; a distance of only *25 miles. Bat before we go again I am satisfied that Supervisor Sample will have this road scraped and the holes filled and that the Greenwood supervisor will discover that this section of the county 4o cHII a r?art nf Greenwood and that no movement has been started to go elsewhere. - E. H. A. ?o? ? i i The above was written for the last issue ofrthe paper. In going over the railroad on Tuesday I noticed that the Greenwood authorities were building the little bridge referred to ancf that the road was t\eing worked, which is good, and I hope they are . working all the way to NinetyJSix and on to Greenwood. Now if Supervisor Sample can just find time to do something for this end of the road we can go that route to Greenwood and save many miles of traveT And besides the good people of Chappells and along ttoe way can come to Newberry, which really is a few miles nearer than to GreenwootT, affd the stores in Newberry will compare favorably with the stores in Greenwood, and I am sure the Newfcerry merchants will treat them just as good as the mertihants of Greenwood or of any other place.
