' i 000 on bridges in this county, at a
low estimate, to put all of them in!
^ first class condition. 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

keep on introducing him to the peo-1

dwelling in the county, and is put to 1

And by the way, after these rains
would be a fine time to put the gen- j

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

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.

and without display, and yet the

the tendency to create in the I

Dear one thou has left us,

Precious husband how I miss you.
Forsake you I never will, - ?
A place in your home is vacant
Which never can be filled.

How we miss your gentle footsteps,
Miss your kind and gentle words,
No more in this lonely home
Will your tender voice be heard.
Lonely are the days,
And dreary are the nights
Since God has called you
To that home so beautiful and
