Certainly many of them need attention. There is > r scarcely a good small drain bridge in j the county. With the heavy auto J and big truck the bridges that we have been building will not stand the strains. We. just as well begin the I thing and begin it right and realize ? ? 1 - a- j ? ? that we will nave to speixu <* gwu deal more money than we have been in the habit of spending if we exi pect to have any roads, and any worth while bridges over the streams. In many cases there should be built cement viaducts, if you choose to call them that, or something that will hold the load, and not be in constant need of rebuilding or repair. A friend said the other day that it looked as if we had deserted our old friend, the split log drag. Nay, nay, we brought the gentleman to Newberry, and while it may seem that we have not been giving him the j prominence that he should have, we j ?till ! ??<! aviuuit fn 'ST6 Hill His xricuu ouu cA^/bvu >v keep on introducing him to the peo-1 pie until he finds a friend at every: dwelling in the county, and is put to 1 / work on every road in the county, i And by the way, after these rains would be a fine time to put the gen- j tleman to work on the roads. spv ' I To think our good old friend Col.' - J.

Of course he was pleased with. Newf ' berry and Newberry folk. Every one ' is. We are just built that way and { the stranger can not but love us. \ , - V p ~ A FAMILY REUNION. J Some friend Temarked some time! ago that whenever he saw that there j was some article beginning with the; statement that I had hooked np 111,! be was glad; not' possibly intended as a compliment to the meanderings of 111, but rather as he expressed it , be knew then that I was not writing about something? else, and possibly gg < raying something that he did not approve, or at least, that was the way ) I understood the criticism. Well, maybe he is correct. There may be \[Z some things said in The Herald and News that do not meet universal approval. I would feel if everything that is said in* The. Herlad and News met the* unanimous approval of the, people something like it might bej said of me what Senator Tillman was | credited with saying about a promin-; ent public man of the days that are j gone, and this particular man was a good friend of mine and a fine lei-1 Jow, and Sen. Tillman said the same I of him, but his criticism was that while he was a fine fellow he was too unaimous. I love the approv-' al of my fellow man, and really i . would enjoy nice things said of my work, but one who does anything! worth, while and who has any posi-. tivness of character is obliged to rub' the hair the wrong way sometimes, j and I would prefer not to be consid-1 -11 J.I. _ j.i T>?*. ! ered so unanimous an tne ume. duu I am away off the subject of this x article. Well, some whole ago I had plan-j ned to hook up 11 on Saturday afternoon gone and go over to Dyson p? to the old home and take the folk down to the Trinity Lutheran church r some ten miles distant, the one of which they are members, ktiowing that both loved to go to church, and sometimes did not have the conveynace convenient to take the trip. For the time being I had forgotten an invitation I had from my friends, Mrs. , Carter and her son Joe, to go to a family reunion at the home of another son, Sam, over in Greenwood county near the old home, and in fact did not know that the day had teen fixed until I was reminded of it on Saturday morning. I had already arranged to go-, -and so it did not matter to me so much whether it.was decided to go to the dinner or to the church, because I was going primarily to serve the folks at home. ?o? I hooked up Saturday afternoon about 4 o'clock and with the two American boys and their mother started on the journey. On account of the fall in of the bridge over Lit r ' i by Longshore's and the Burton place. I drove along leisurely and went ; around by the town of Dyson and ar-j j rived about dark. We made a short ; stop at Longshore and Chappells. I I spent several minutes at Chappells. | It looked like an old time salesday in Newberry in the days when the "boneyard" prevailed, and every one fixed that day to go to "the court house," or "the village" as they calljed it. The streets were crowded but | the greater number of those on the i streets were of the colored race. It seemed that all of them from the ! surrounding territory must have gathered there on that afternoon, and yet some of the men of the place jsaid that the crowd was very small j oi? that particular afternoon. i The road this way is now better ,4k> Chappells than it is by the long (bridge and the distance about the same. Above Longshore there are I some very deep sand beds and the j wonder is that instead of piling more; I of the sand in the road in the working it is not put on the red clay roads !on either end of the sand beds. Some j of these beds have been very much j deepened by recent working evidently, because they are much heavier j than when I went the road some j time ago. The swamp at Little River j ; and at Mudlic is bad, and always j will be so long as the road is as low j .'as it is and the shade trees keep the sun off the road. Otherwise the road is very good. j The Greenwood authorities havej fixed the bridge that was broken dowxi just beyond the river, \ but: nothing has been done to the road and the hill is bad. I went around by the city of Dyson instead of going directly home. There was no crowd there. In fact it rather looked like a deserted village. But there was no sugar famine there. I bought, a sack of 25 pounds and -so we have ' been able to continue the making of blackberries into jelly and Possibly the quiet of the place was due in some measure to the fact that only a few days before there had been rather a rough house in the city in which a negro was shot to death and some others somewhat bruised, and this may have been the quiet after the storm. * ' I found the folks at home and i glad to see us, but not looking forj us. Well, we decided that we should j attend the family reunion. So on J Sunday morning we hooked up and | father and mother and myself, we j being the ones expected at the! dinner, we drove down tovthe home j of Mr. Sam Carter some two miles distant. The reunion was to be at his home and tfce children and the! other relatives were to bring the din- j ner and a table was spread m the yard under the oaks and a regular picnic dinner was served. And it was as fine a dinner as you would find down In the lower section of! Newberry county where those good: folk know how to cook and where ! they raise what they cook. There I was fried chicken land, chicken pie; and baked chicken and country ham, and good country beef steak and all' the accessories that go with such , a j An/1 if 117ac QonrA/1 Kpanfifnl JL^yOOV* AUU AW TIMU WVA. T VV? MTWWWV** ?.. ly on a long table spread under the oaks. And all of us enjoyed it. The day was fixed in honor of the' birthday of Mrs. L. A. Carter and of j Sam Carter the son. Mrs. Carter! was celebrating her 69th birthday j and I did not ask how old Sam is. I Mr. John C. Carter, the father and 1 the husband of Mrs. Carter* died just j 19 years ago while he was living at j Newberry, and soon after he movedI here. At one time away back when; I was a boy at home Mr. and Mrs! j Carter lived there an'd he was sawyer, for my father, and a better worker never was. And I have known the family all the years since those days. They moved to Newberry as I stated some 20 years ago, and Mr. Carter died soon after, but Mrs. Carter and the children have lived here since. i ^ | Mrs. L. A. Carter and her son Joe :C. Carter, and Mrs. Annie Glenn, her i daughter, and Mrs. Glenn's son Arjthur and Mr. Henry Carter and his I little son went up on the train SunI day morning from their home in i Newberry. Mrs. Jesse L. Burn, an| other daughter and her three chil' - ' * * ; dren, motored irom meir uome m j Newberry with Mr. Strother Paysinger driving the car. Mrs. W. B. | Jeter, another daughter, and her hus,band and five children motored from I their home at Ninety-Six. Mr. and jMrs. Will Hopkins and three children came from their home on the j Saluda side. These with Mr. and iMrs. Sam Carter and their nine children made up the immediate family jthat was present. In all there are 23 grandchildren. Of the neighbors who were present there were Mr. and .Mrs. Jacob L. Aull, Mr. and Mrs. Geo. W. Reid and one son, Mr. and Mrs. W .B. Crouch and five children, -Mr. Cheves Sligh, and it will be noi,ed that all of these are originally > f I j Newberry people. Among the other ; >1 visitors there were Bill Griffin, Dar- j fi irell Monroe, Mrs. Bettie Day- and fl 'child, and Miss Unice Matthews of j [Newberry. 8 i It was a very pleasant day and I these family reunions, if there is I good fellowship as there always! .should be on such occasions, are good I things. They bring back and refresh I ; the memory of? other days and when I ! the home ties were possibly more I t strongly united. I love to see famil- I ies get together and have these reunions because I feel that they are helpful in many ways. I love to see j family loyalty and these gatherings | should be helpful in that way. j Mr. Sam Carter has bought him a ,home where he lives and has a fine !crop this year and is prospering. He is trustee of the school and takes an i | interest in the life of the community.
