NEWBERRY AND WHITMIRE. j
These are two of the most impor
tant commercial centers in the coun- i
*
ty. Newberry is the larger of course, I
but Whitmire is growing more rapidly :
and making big gains on the capital j
of the county I would like to see !
all the business men of Newberry j
take a trip over to Whitmire town:
and see for themselves what an im- j
portant commercial center it is and i
^ n no vf r\ ? VattrK a^'rir !

it is. If they would I am convinced j
that they would be more active in j
their interest to bring the two towns;
closer together. This is also a very j
important farming section of the |
\ :
county, this No. 4 township.
There is but one way to establish
closer relations between the two
towns and to bring them in closer j
touch with one another, and that isj
to build two roads between the two. [
Why they tell me at Whitmire that
the one way to talk to Newberry is
by long distance, and that to do that
you have tcr go through Clinton, j
Think of it. And yet it is by far the
wealthiest township in the county,
except Newberry, and pays more tax
for county purposes than any other
except the one, and will pay more than
even the'new township with the Parr
Shoals property which comes in with
the new territory from Lexington.
And what is the county doing or
what is the town of Newberry doing
to establish closer relations with this;
important center? Nothing that I
can think of. Collecting the taxes;
and not even spending half the town- j
ship pays on the roads in that town- j
ship. |
To me it seems almost a criminal
neglect of a tine opportunity to getj
business and to create a good feeling i
such as should exist between!
the two centers of commercial cativity
in the county. This town of Whit- '
mire is a real live town and has one
of the best" mills in the South, and
1 doubt if there is another mill any- j
where that is doing as much for the;
help as this mill. I have several!
times written about the fine Y. M. j
C. A. building and the many things j
that are being done in this connection
for the uplift and benefit of
the help in the mill, and now the
town or the mill or somebody up j
there, I rather think it is the com-j
bined effort of the people generally,'
is building the finest sort of a base- j
k ball park with grandstand and all the !
things necessary for such a place, at i
a cost of something like $10,000,
and the town is putting in a modern ;
and up to date system of water works
and sewerage and* there are new ,
buildings going up on all sides and]
the town is really growing.

berry, that it would pay you in dollars
and cents to go down in your
jeans and raise by private subscription
a round hundred thousand dollars
and get what you can from the j i
federal government and build thesej
two roads that I am talking about to j
connect your town with this pro-J
gressive little city. I say both roads, \
because both are important and it is j
no time now to have a row over the i
upper and the lower route. I am |;
satisfied that the progressive busi- i
ness men of Whitmire will cooperate i
mm
with any movement here at Newberry J
1 i !.
to build tiiese roacis, oec-ause mcsc,
people up there are really alive and |
wide awake, and yet these roads i
would be worth more in dollars and j
cents to the business men of New-!
berry than to the business men of j
Whitmire. Do you know that Union
county is building: a road from the 1
river right over to Union t'own and
spending a hundred thousand dollars;
on it, and that means that the rela- J
tions between the two towns will;
Crow m pleasantness ariu suunei ui ;
later the good people of WHitmire!
will become so accustomed to going
to Union that they will conclude that j
Union thinks more of them and is!
willing to cooperate with them in;
all progressive movements and they j
will say to themselves, well, here is'
Newberry that simply neglects us and j
does not seem to care for us or ourj
business and we will just go over into !
Union county. The distance to the j
court house is about the same that j
it is to Newberry, but of course these ;
people have been bom and reared in ;
Newberry, and many of them to the:
vior.no" fifim thp-'r svmoathies and'
uadi.ions all being linked up with!
our county, would rather remain with
us, but unless we show them some ;

the county occasionally, no one could
blame them if they went away.
If the business men of Newberry j
and along the way and with the co- i
operation of the business men of
Whitmire would put up a hundred
thousand and get a like amount from |
the federal government, as I under-1
stand it can be had, why then both
the upper road and the lower road
could be built. That would allow the
expenditure of around five thousand
dollars a mile. Here is a good job
for the new chamber of commerce to
take up as its first work.
I drove over to Whitmire on Friday.
It was a bad day and I would
not have consented to go but it looked
at one time that the clouds would
roll away and the sun would -appear,
but it did not. I told the young man
''""'a mo nvAr that no one but
W 11\J \AL UT V liiv v?. -
a fool or a lunatic would venture out
on such a day with the condition of
the roads unless it was an emergency
case such as carrying the mail or a
doctor answering a sick call. JBut we
' 1 ?? -~Kortl- Wo wPnt
went ana wt; camc ua<.a.
upr by Beth Eden and came into the
Appalachian highway at Mr. Baker's,
but returning we went around by the
Caldwell road. Both are bad and the
creek crossings are in especially bad
fix. It looked one time that we would
not be able to make it over the Duncan
creek fill, but we did. Of course
I understand that the supervisor can
not build and maintain all the roads.

hand and the small chaingang forces.
You can no more build roads and
maintain them without money than
the old Hebrews could make bricks
without straw. In the development
of civilization we may be able to do
it, but certainly we have not yet
reached that stage of advancement, j
I understand that the contract has j
been let to ouna a oriuge dtiusa i
Duncan' creek on this road and that J
it is proposed to build a steel span
across the creek and then to have the
bridge raised and build approaches
that will be above the sv^amp and
reach out to the banks on either side.
This will be a great improvement.
Some of the citizens up that side
seem to be of the opinion that it
would be better and more lasting to
build the steel span across the creek
* * _ J ^
and then to make a nil on enner siue
and support it on the lower side by a
Duncan's creek on this road and that
concrete wall and make a driveway of
concrete a couple feet thick and then
it would stay there and could be
crossed at any time. They say it
would not cost any more than the
bridge, and after looking at the place
we believe that it would be the better
way to fix the crossing of this
creek. Then there is Indian creek j
and King's creek both of which need !
something to be dene to make them j
crossahle. There is j?oesl of better i
l
bridges at both of these creeks an J
r.lso a Ion? rill at each to make the

don't know much about the upper
road as I have not been over it
| in some time. They tell me that it
i could be built for less money and it
I is some three miles nearer, but I fa
, vor the building of both roads and
i so far as I am concerned there is no
i need for me to make comparisons. I
About the same creeks are to be
j encountered on either road.
Newberry county and Newberry,
; town will regret it some day if something
is not done and done right j
now to build these two very imp or- j
tant roads. But apart from that it
is ai duty we owe these people to
give some attention to the building of
i some roads up in that section of the
county.
?o? !
,
And then as I have stated you ;
can't even talk to them from New- j
: berry without paying the toll and
1 going around through Clinton to get j.
j them. I hope my friend, President i
Epps Brown, will look into this mat- j
j ter and at least give us a line from j
Newberry to Whitmire'so ''that we1
may at least be in speaking distance, i
1 Then I believe that he claims this.
section of the county as his birth-j
I place and he should have an espe- j
eial interest in connecting it with the
i town of Newberry without having to ;
pay for the privilege of talking after:
you have your phone in. Some of the
farmers who desire to talk to New-*j
berry have to put in two phones, one!
for the neighborhood service and the
other to get to Newberry. I am sure !
that President Brown can and will
remedy this for us. But the build-?
in<r of the roads is the main and im- .
portant thing just now. They should
be built. It is a duty we owe the '
people up that side and that we owe
to ourselves as a county and a town
of Xewberrv. !
I became so obsessed with the importance
of doing something for the
roads so as to make the two good
towns nearer to each other that I almost
forgot to speak of the school,
and to visit the tenth grade of this
school was one of my purposes in taking
the trip. I met with Miss Don
nan and Mr. Riser and the members j.
of the tenth grade and explained to c
them about the essay that I have
been giving a medal for in this school
for a number of years, and explained ^
the subject to them. And by the
way they have a fine school here as
well as at some ot^ier places in the
county, and outside of Newberry the
largest enrollment of any school in
the county. The enrollment this session
is near to 400. I think Mr. Riser
told me that the enrollment that
