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. I
know "they say" that you can't build

reckon you can't, but you can keeo
on telling the folks about them un\il
after so long a time, and sometimes
it is mighty long, they will begin to
see and get a vision and then there
will be something doing. 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

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,

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

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

Supervisor Sample some time fast j
-year did build a fine road from the;
^Williams place out to Chappells, but j
: just as we said at the time unless j
i provision is made for its maintenancs;
it was only a question of time before j
| it would be as bad as it was before,
and that time has come sooner than
we expected. 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.

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.

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. E. H. A. j

Of course I called on my friend Mi
R. S. Galloway who is the publishe
of the Presbyterian, the paper of th
A. R. P. church, and found him gla
to see me. He always reminds yo
that he is a native of Newberry an
seems proud of the fact. His parent
al home was the place now owned b
Mr. Bur Mills and known to many c
us as the Rikard place, just two mile

He has not yet placed a typesettin
machine in his office and uses the ol
time hand composition and has t|:*e
men at present working in tue shoi
two of whom have been jrith the oi
fic$ for many years. It was press da
with him b"t they were taking thing
easy and there was no rush to g<
the paper on the^press. He ha* 01
dered a machine and it has bee
shipped and 'he is expecting it ever
day (just like we. are) and when i
comes his son is going to operate i
The son has just returned from th
factory where he went to stilfty th
mechanism of the machine so tha
he might handle it.
Mr.. Galloway is also president c
the DUe West railroad which runs b
tween Donalds and Due Wfest, a dis
tnnro of fivp miles This is one rail
road that does not operate a train o
the Sabbath, and the train has neve
been known to run to the Sabbath es
cept on one occasion when it wa
necessary to take a very sick lady t
the hospital. Sometimes 1 nav
thought that it would have been bel
ter not to have had a raailroad t
the town at all, because that woul
have kept it unique. Of course fo
the hauling of freight it is a gres
convenience ana a great. neip m mc

freight much cheaper than by the ol<
way. There are several stores in th

I always enjoy a visit to this goo
old town and the pity is there are no
more communities in which there i
such fine social surrounding an
where there is such high regard fo
