We are not complaining because
we are sure the salary is small
enough and too small, but it does
look a little incongruous that the
superintendent of education, who is
at the head of the schools of the county
and the supervisor of the county
who has charge of the business of the
county should be"" paid a less salary
each than the rural policemen.
THE TRAFFIC ORDINANCE.
City council has adopted a traffic
ordinance which' is published in this
issue of the paper. We would advise
all persons, whether they operI
X 1 ? 14-^
are cars or ouggies ul era vex tiiiugether
on foot to read the provisions
of the ordinance very carefully and
to cut it out and keep it for handy
reference.
It is a very important ordinance
and will be very difficult to remember
all its provisions. .It is not intended
as a hardship on any one, and really
it is unfortunate that it is necessary
to have to adopt by legislation rules
to govern in such cases, but human
nature is so constituted that it is necessary
to have and to enforce certain
regulations of this character for the
protection of all the people, those
"*vho would disregard the rights of
others as well as those who would be
willing and who would^endeavor to
have regard for the rights of the
other fellow.
Some of the provisions in this, ordinance
have been on the book3 of
the town for many years, but they
have been almost entirely disregarded.
This present ordinance will not
be worth the paper on which it is'
* - r J 4-Vn\
written uniess it is eiiiuttcu^ anu mc
time to enforce it is from the day
on which it becomes operative. Otherwise
it would be better not to have
any law at all.
There has been an ordinance in regard
to cut outs for several years,
but the cut outs make more unnecessary
noise since the lav.* has been on
the books than they did before, if it
were possible. Then there has been
the ordinance as to stopping at certain
corners which has been on the
honks for a loner time, but it is more
generally disregarded than regarded,
<uid when the stop is made it is generally
after the street has been crossed,
and we have never been able to
see any good in stopping after you
had gone over the street on which
the collision was liable to take place,
better keep on going and get cut of
the way of the car that may be coming
down the other street and observing
the stop ordinance in the same
way.
At one time we suggested to Mayor
Wright the importance of an ordi
nance requiring all cars to drive to
the right, but he held that our streets
were too narrow for that, while we
held that that was on of the main reasons
for observing such a regulation.
It is included in this ordinance and it
is proper. As to the places and the
sides of the street on which you may
park your car it will be necessary to
keep a copy of the ordinance by you
all the time so as to know which they
are. This matter of parking cars and
vehicles in the town is getting to be
a serious one, our streets are very
narrow and if cars or other vehicles
are parked on both sides it prevents
traffic on the streets, because even if
enough space is left to drive tlvomh
it is not sufficient to pass another
vehicle. If these who drive for yl-vi;-ure
would just take other
than th^se arom^l V:' ~ brs*-c
tior. espcc* ?Hj on Sat. o*- '
other days v*K*r there i.^e
in f> on? the ccaatry It v.-cu- . .
then that, is a matte - t\.r-, i-vis' I
left vO tie common zz^zl ar.J
| judgment of the people themselves,
| and will depend upon how much re|
gard they have for the rights and convenience
of others.
i The point is, if all drivers of cars
and other vehicles will study the or'
dinance and cooperate in the enforcement
of it we will get along all right,;
and if they do not then it will be up
to the officers to see to it that they j
do, and this we hope they will do, be- j
cattse the law will prove useless and
worse than useless unless it is en- j
forced.
OUR NEW MEMBERS.
! The Herald and News is glad to!
welcome the good friends of that j
portion of Lexington county which !
has voted itself into Newberry coun
ty. It contains 22 square miles and j
extends from the Broad river just De- j
low the town of'Peak across near the j
town of Chapin to Camping creek;
and on to the Saluda river. There I
are about 175 white voters in this section
and th^y are all good substantial
citizens and farmers and we are glad
to have them come among us as citizens
of this good old county of Newberry.
And we would like to have 'all J
wlm arp nnt. alreadv members of'The J
Herald and News family to coir~ right
i along now and join us.
The act of the legislature which
was necessary to confirm the vote of
the people has been passed by the
legislature and is now in the engros- ;
sing department and will be ratified
this week and when the governor
affixes his signature this will in fact
I be a portion of Newberry county. The
! act as it passed the legislature is published
in full in this paper.
There was opposition in the legislature
mainly from the members of
the house from Lexington county, but
the bill was passed by a large major
ity and as soon as signed by the governor
will be the law.
j We understand that the Newberry
: delegation will provide another townj
ship to comprise this new territory
j and we suppose will call it Lexington
township No. 12.
As a further evidence of the tendency
of the legislatures to provide
what we would term "wet nursing" j
for certain of the people an act was J
^ 1 01 ~ ttts\ nr rlny?co -n rl r\rn_
pcioccu III ?*J?<Jy vv t uuL^iCtaau, v~ i
v:.":::g for the segregation of the j
races working in textile manufactur- j
ing establishments, and under its pro-;
visions the attorney general says that
even the mills can not employ negro |
women to do the sweeping in the 1
mills, and Mr. Harris says that all
violations of the act shall be prosecuted.
This would be a good law to repeal.
Just as well say that the good housewives
of Newberry should not be allowed
to employ negro women to
come into their homes to do the
housecleaning and the sweeping and
the cooking while the truth of the
matter is all of them are anxious to |
have these colored women when they
; can get any that are willing to work.!
j We fail to see the common sense
or the good of any such law. The
people who work in the textile institutions
are perfectly willing to have
these colored women do the sweeping.
^ In fact, we should suspect at
this time the mills will find it a little
difficult to get any one else to do the i
sweeping. We fail to see the good |
to be accomplished by saying that a 1
negro woman can not do the sweep- j
ing in a textile manufacturing estab- j
lishment where white people are employed.
But that is the law and Mr. j
Harris and his agents are prosecuting
the officers of such institutions where
they are employing negro women to
sweep out the dirt and the result
very likely will be that many of the
floors that need sweeping will go unswept
for lack of labor to do the
work.
NEWBERRY BEATS * i
WOFFORD FIVE
! Newberry defeated the Wofford
college basket ball five Thursday
night by the score-of 22 to 21. Just
as the final whistle sounded Haltiwanger
tossed a goal fro n foul that
! gave the victory to the Indnns, practically
elfcnated Wofford from the
race for State championship and assured
for the Citadel a clear title to
the honor should it win the remainder
of its games during the season. It
was th'e first defeat sustained by
Wofford this season by a South Carolina
five.

every respect. The first half ended
with the score 13 to 6 in Newberry's
; favor. In the second period the
' Methodists came back strong and
; threatened to win. The spectators
:; were kept in a continuous state of
excitement and which was relieved
;! only after the final whistle had sounded.
It was the best game played yet
bv Newberry r^d the Indians ?eem1
ed to have struck their regular stride.

When the talk turns from politics to railroads, j
and the traveler with the cocksure air breaks . j
in with, "There's a* awful lot of 'water' in
i
the railroads/' here are some hard-pan facts
to give him: I
1 !
American railroads have cost $80,900 a mile
r ?roadbed, structures, stations, yards, terminals,
freight and passenger trains?everything
from the great city terminals to the last spike.
A good concrete-and-asphalt highway costs |
$36,000 a mile?just a bare road, not count*
ing the cost of culverts, bridges, etc. j
i
i
Our railroads couldn't be duplicated to- j
day for $150,000 a mile.
\ :
j
They are capitalized for only $71,000 a mfle?
much less than their actual value. Seventy-one
thousand dollars today will buy one locomotive.
I
English raiiways are capitalized at $274,000 a
mile; the French at $155,000; German $132,000;
even in Canada (still in pioneer development) \
