Tuesday, September 9, 1919.
Mr. John G. Capers well known in
Sputh Carolina where he was born,
but for many years a resident of
Washington, died suddenly at his
^ home in Washington on Friday.
Mr. Charles M. Galloway, a mem- i
ber of the civil service commission j
at Washington has resigned, his resignation
being asked by President :
Wilson. He gives out a statement
in which he says that his resignation
came about because he would not do
the bidding of Postmaster Burleson.
President Wilson is making his i
tour of the country explaining the !
peace treaty and the league of nd- :
tons. The Herald and News is printing
his opening speech in full, part
of it this issue and the balance in the ,
next paper. You will want to read I ]
it. Mr. Wilson is sure that the ;
treaty will be ratified and the league (
of nations adopted. We believe so
too. The only thing is the delay, ,
- and the world needs to get on a set
i ' tied basis of peace as soon as possible.

The second primary in the seventh :
and sixteh congressional districts ]
will be held today. In the sixth dis- j i
trict the race is between Sherwood j <
of Horry and Stoll of Williamsburg. ? I
In the seventh district the race is'1
between Timmerman of Lexington J;
and Mann of Calhoun. The State j!
says that the Richland vote will de-J i
cide the contest in the seventh dis-:
9 trict. If that be correct the chances!
are in favor of Timmerman from
what we heard in Columbia the other |
day. ' \ 11

A TRIP?ABOUT ROADS.
I had intended to attend the bar
becue at Mr. M. JV1. Wicker's on *'ri- j
day, but found that I had to take a i
trip to the old home in Greenwood
county, this time on a matter of a lit,
tie business, and, therefore, could j
not be at the barbecue. However, I
always delight in going home, because
I know there dwells there two
people who are now not as young in j
years as they once were, but who are
still young in spirit, and will always j
be young to me, who are always glad:
to see me, and I know there is noj
simulation in their pleasure. That;
counts for much in this day of self- j
ishness and sham and make-believe. |
So I hooked up 111 and took one ;
h -of my American boys, and we two' made
the trip in about two hours, a 1
distance of 25 1-2 miles. And Strange 1
as it may seem, it is the same dis- j1
tance fronfNewberry home as it is 1
, fr?. n home to Newberry. I measured . *
.i jth ways on this trip. We left 1
Newberry at 8 o'clock, and made the j(
run without mishap. Made a very *
brief stop at Chappells, and never j
net a car fronj Newberry all the way, ]1
except Mr. J. Tas Senn just about *
.hree miles out, and there were very; *
few people riding the road in any. *
sort of vehicle. Of course, it is not *
necessary to state that I never passed ^
a car,' because every one knows that;j *
i do not ride fast enough to passj
any sort of car, though I might do i
it if I cared to. Coming back I came t
nearer to a serious accident than I: s
ever have in all my driving. At the <
river bridge you can not seB if there ; *
jS a car coming from the other side, i
and the party coming can not see i
:ither, and if you two happen to , i
meet on the bridge some one has to <
back to let each other go by. \ Just j
as I was ready to drive on the bridge i
'1 cars hove in sight, coming across.: t
There is a terrible ditch just as you 1
approach the bridge from the Green-, 1
vood side, and a broken in bridge <
, that is dangerous to cross. I had i
passed over this broken bridge just f
as the cars came to that end of the 1
iver bridge. There was nothiing to . <
do but for me to get back. 1 never;1
oould back track, even with a car, ]
but I foolishly tried to do it, and. 1
;nto the ditch the front wheel ;
promptly went, and there I was, but ]
the pleasure of the condition in j i
which I found myself was that the 1
old 111 did not turn over. The chauf-; <
feur for one of the cars came over;:
to my car and said he could back me j <
out, which he did, and we passed; 1
each other. But I did not get over :
aiy fright until I got home. The j
point of this reference is, to beg the <
Greenwood county supervisor to have ?
;his bridge repaired, and make the i
oad at the. entrance to the river ;
: ridge wide enough for two cars to |

li.m to do so, to repair the hill or the ']
oad un the hiil just from the river. i
is washed into big ditches. And <
almost beyor.d traveling over, i
ihough there is a lot cf travel be- i
tween Greenwood and Chappells.
On the Newberry side of the river
the road leading up to the bridge has
been worked and is in fairly good
condition. A bridge has been built
over the branch iust this side of the
river, and a fill made so that this
\
bad place is in good repair. I was
told that the town of Chappells
through the good offices of the mayor,
Mr. Crumley, did the job, and a
very good job it is. The road in
some places is very much washed up,
but I was told that the people along
the way with the cooperation of the
town of Chappells purpose to fix
this section of road very soon.
The road from Mr. Henry Fellers'
place all the way to Chappells is
among the best roads in the county.
A few holes should be repaired and
two or three little drain bridges are
broken in and need to be rebuilt, but
as roads go in this county it is a pretty
good road. Of course too narrow
as all the roads are. And from Mr.
Fellers down to Zion church the road
is fairly good.

While at (Jhappens ivir. a. r.
Coleman showed me a letter which
he had just received from P. C.
Harris, acting adjutant general,
dated at Washington, September 2,
inquiring for the address of Lieutenant
William Osce Coleman, and stating
that the French authorities were
inquiring for his address, that they
were informed that he had sailed for
the States, and that they desired to
forward him a decoration which he
had won. Lieutenant Coleman is a
son of Mr. and Mrs. A. P. Coleman
of Chappells, and it will be remembered
^that he won the cross of honor,
rinorro snmp time last vear.
UlUiA Ub w ?
and that he also lost one of his
hands in battle. As stated some time
ago- in The Herald and News, Lieutenant
Coleman is with Gen. Pershing
and is now on his way home with
the general's party. Lieutenant
Coleman \Vill probably be home in a
short time.
As I always do when I go to Chappells,
I dropped in to shake hands
with my friend, Mr. J. R. Irvin. He
is one of those Confederate veterans
who remains young because of his
good nature and pleasant disposition.
He resigned as postmaster at Chappells
some few years ago but continiioa
trk His^hartre the duties of the of
fice. He is looking remarkably well
and says he enjoys the best of health
May he live many more decades. The
business firms in the town of Chappells
have changed very much in the
past few years. Mr. Geo. T. Reid
one of the land marks passed this
last year during the influenza, and
Mr. Will Reid has come to Newberry
to live, and so about the only ones
left up there of the old guard are
Mr. Irvin, Dr. W J. Holloway and his
sons, and maybe one or two more.
Some day before long I am going
to stop longer'and give |ome time to
getting up the names of the firms
jf the town. This is a good business
place. The new ginnery under the
iirection of Mr. Strother is in operation
and the cotton was coming in.
The bank is flourishing and all the
nerchants seemed to be doing a fine
business. Like other towns it needs
he building of some roads leading
o the place so that the people might
he more easily reach the town.
But Chappells of today is not the

I found the old folks at home by
;hemselves, and the mill engine was
>teamed up, and the planer was in
>peration. The sound of the whistle
md the buzz of the planer carried
ne back to other days when I had a
)art in making the wheels at the old
nill go round and round. Many a
lay and many a night have I had a
?art in keeping the wheels going, and
t brought back pleasant memories of
;he long ago to hear the saw and the
duzz of the planer and the sound of
;he old steam whistle, and I have no
ioubt now that this old mill and the
machinery that are attached thereto
md the continuous running of them
las had much to do with the length
Df years and the good health
svith which the two good old
people at home have been
blessed. The mill does not grind
any more, but just now and then the
planer or the saw mill is run, and it
is a reminder that orfce upon a time
there were busy scenes around the
old mill. If all the meal and the
flour that have come out from this
old mill could be gathered at one
time it would feed Pershing's army
for a season. But the people do not
grow wheat in this section as they
once did. And as they should do
even now with the high price of cotton,
because there is also a high
price of flour and meal.
At one time I thought I might re-,
main over in Chappelis for the meeting
at the school house in the interest
of the <. >tion association, but
some of the Ch;> n:r<r. people did no':
seem to know aooit it, and others"

said there would probably be a half
dozen people present, so I concluded
to come on home, and we reached
Newberry about 4:30.
i
Cotton is opening rapidly, but the
crops along the way seem to be very
poor, and the crop in this section is
going to be short, or that is the way
it appears to me, judging by looking
at the crops along the road.

A Card From Dr. John B. Setzler.
Some time ago when we
printed a couple of very inI
eresting letters from ^Dr. John
I. Setzler who is still over
eas and in German territory we
undled up a number of copies of
'he Herald and News including those
nnfoinmr an Hermit of commence
| MA* V? WW ?.w
rient in which we knew he would have
n interest and mailed them to him.
The other day we received a card
rom him which we are printing so
hat his many friends in Newberry
nay hear from him and know that
e is enjoying life over seas.
He says:
Today's mail brought me ten, isues
of The Herlad and News, and at
he present time I am having a reguar
feast even though some of the isues
date back in May. They are not
Id to me. It is well that my work is
ight now or some of it might be
nc^iecred for awhile.
Condition of affairs in Germany
as quieted down considerably
ecently and the indications are
hat she is going to take on new lease
f life. The harvests, especially in
his section, are good, anS the people
eem to have accepted the inevitable,
nd have gone to work in earnest.
Many thanks for your kind favor,
nd kindest regards to the force.
