J HOW THEY BUILD ROADS i
DOWN IN GEORGIA j

|^A Newberry Boy Writes Interesting j
Letter leiling of the Good Roads jj
' Dowa in Georgia. j i.
I .
The editor has received a letter <
from his young cousin, Hubert i
Aull, who is teaching down in States boro,
Ga., and we are taking thejc
liberty of printing the greater part j U
of it because it deals with a subject | f
which should be of great interest to
% the people of .this county. This thing j c
x of building some worth wnne roaas < i
is a very important matter and the' s
people should begin to realize that j n
we have reached that point in our;
civilization when we must do some- j a
thing to improve the roads. The. h
people are ready and are interested j
but the question of just how to go11
about it is the big question. We! v
must make provision for the main-!
- - * * - i J
tenance ot the roaas wnen we ouna u
them or the money will be practically!
wasted that we spend. ) S
We are glad to know that Humbert i n
is getting along all right. He says j
he is well and happy and he should j ii
desire nothing greater than health j
-?. and happiness. ,t<
^ His reference to Clemson should be! 1*
Understood and the understanding is:
^ that he is a graduate of Clemson and S
" ' 11 3 A
we are giad to see mm stand Dy ana,?
be interested in his alma mater. Wei
do love to see loyalty to school and
to home and to family. The boy v
who isn't will not amount to aj
great deal in the great battle of e
life.

Statesboro, Ga., April 21, 1920.
My dear Cousin Elbert: a
I do not intend to write you a very C
lone letter for I know your time is u
limited during this busy season and
certainly I have my hands full. : c
I have read with the greatest of s
interest your articles on road building
and maintenance, your sane ad- ^
vice about the recent trouble at ^
Clemson, and, in fact, everything in r
the old Herald and News including
the announcements for political of- C
fices and advertisements, and I de-'
sire to congratulate you upon your b
paper. I have heard, even down .
here, some very complimentary re- 11
marks about Newberry; ran across a
traveling man recently who knows J
t you and who spoke very highly of ?
* the Newberry Herald and News. (I ^
was glad to tell him that you were a
relative of mine.) ? ."
The Herald and News comes to me
, regularly and without delay. I a
usually get the news from home first v
hand and I tell you it reads good to P
me. I wish some of the folks near
Pomaria would send in the notes of v"
interest from that town. You know f
?r>_:? T ti
mai s my xjiicii i dan unu ? nait
not to read the Pomaria news in hy ?.
county paper. Can't you arou?e a ^
little "Pep" down in that section? *
I began this letter to tell you some- ^
thing of the work they are doing on "
the roads here. This county, Bulioch,
has purchased a 10-ton Plolt tractor
and they are scraping the roads all J
over the county. They use two road
scrapes on the hitch and thus save tl
| about 50 per cent of the time other- ^
wise required. Most of the roads *
here are sandy but clay has been intermixed
and now we have very good ^
roads. I am located in Statesboro,
a town with about the same populatin
as Newberry, but with wider f'
streets, and for ten miles in any di- ^
almost ortp pari cHd alonsr at
a lively rate. With your Cleveland. S1
Six, I doubt not that one could make'
fifty or sixty easy. I have travelled
considerably over eight of the coun-'
ties about here, and really the roads P
are better in other sections. From
here to Augusta, eighty-five miles, I
have made the trip there and back a
in a day without any trouble what-, ^
ever. I rode over to the Southern s<
Exposition held in that city before 0
Christmas, spent a very pleasant and
k profitable day?as long as I cared to c:
stay, and could have eaten supper in w
Statesboro had we not stopped over t]
in a small town a few miles distant. ^
From here to Savannah the trip is n
reckoned as being fifty miles. We ^
thought nothing of riding down to ^
hear the great Italian prima-donna, ^
Galli-Curchi, and returning the same SJ
night, to get a good rest before morn- g
ing. The roads leading out from ^
Savannah, as you know, are made s<
mostly of oyster shell and they are
real roads. Now they are paving the * <
main highways leading out of the 3(
city. I
* _ A- j - 1 r
I am sorry 10 reaa ox ^lemsun ?
being beaten by Newberry, but I had w
rather Newberry beat us than any ^
other college I caft think of. We a
seem to have a sort of Connie Mack P
rep over there?that of losing the tl
first five or six games every season. b
Base ball is a great game and we have L
had some of the best contests here I C
have ever seen. This school had tl
played the last four games ending in c
scores like this: 1-0; 3-2; 2-2; and \
1-0. The first two scores represent I'
??i.i_ _ C..1 1 t1
farces wiin a uisinui* cl-iiuui ucauns %
Mercer university, so you see we n
have a rather good team. &
I am still teaching school in Geor- a
goa. I like the position all right and e
am proud to say that I have been re- h
it elected for another year. I have not
accepted as vet, however. I have ;;
charge of the Animal Husbandry b
9 Division of the First District Agri- P
gjflf cultural School and teach the sopho- ^
more and senior boys in agriculture. p
|Hf We have purchased this year some *
of the best Hampshire and Duroc- e
Wm Jersey blood in the States and have
rsome of the choicest animals of these 11
two breeds of hocrs. We also own a a
Jer; cv bull from record stock, and a
expect to purchase some other pure ^
blood in cattle. Every person will n
sooner or later realize the value of P
pure bred stock. j h
My regards to all the folks, especially
to your jrood wife and
*'American" boys. I am well and c
happy?what more can I ask? j S
Sincerely your cousin. S J,
Hubert Aull. ; /

nd yet to some it is given to reach
le four score mark. But it has

Away back in the early part of the
ist half of the last century there
'as a happy little village at Helena.
; was a busy place and many happy
nd contented peopl'e made up the
opulation. Along about this time
!iere came from across the sea a
right and blushing young maiden,
lOuisa Rudolph the daughter of
'hristian Rudolph. S-on thereafter
lere came the sweetheart of her
hildhood William Zcbel. On the
8th day of May, 1858, Louisa
'redrika Angu?ta Rudolph became
he bride of William Zchcl and for
lany years they lived happily toether
in this little village of Helena
nd saw their children grow to honst
manhood and virtuous womanood.
It does not seem near so long to
lose of us who knew William Zobel,

H. Greneker received a telegram on
Thursday announcing the sudden
death of their nephew Mr. Richard
Greneker Julien on board the battleship
Oklahoma on Wednesday. No
particulars were given excep hat the
' ship was enroute to Washington from
i somewhere down around the Canal
Zone.
Young Julien was but 19 years of
age and volunteered in the navy some
time ago. He wast a bright boy and |
seemed devoted to the navy. It I
will be remembered that it has not I
j been so long ago when he was home
' on a brief furlough and we remember
very distinctly how very happy
he seemed, thus showing that he was
! delighted with the profession he had
entered. s- *' !
He was the son of the late B. E.
Julien of Helena and is survived by
one brother Carl Julien who has but
recently moved to Newberry.
; Arrangements will be made to have
' the body sent to Newberry for burial.
The sympathy of many friends will
i jro out to the sorrowing relatives in
the sudden taking off of this young
life.

held on Friday, May 7th, 1520, were
' closed by the supervisor of registra-.
tion, Mr. J. W. Chapman, according
to law at 5 o'clock p. m., on the 26th
. instant. Several- voters registered on :
; the closing day. The registration is J
one cf the largest ever had in the
; town and yet it is very small. The
total rumber of voters registering \
were 220 including one colored y6ter. ]
The mayor and city clerk repeated- '
; ly called the attention of the people ]
i to the matter of registration but '
! fullv three-fourths of the white men ,
i who could have registered failed to do
i so. Much of the failure to register ^
jwas due to the f?ct that so many,
i voters failed to get county registra- ,
. tion certificates or could not find .
those certificates. Under the law thei
1 supervisor of the town registration .
j could not issue ? registration certi-;^
ficate unless the voter could show a
i county certificate and that he had !
-paid his taxes, both county and ' own. '
1 The registration bv wards was as ;
! follows: Ward 1, 43: Ward 2. 66; !
Ward 3, 60; Ward 4, 25; Ward 5, 26.;1
? There may be other elections after J
] awhile and the people who are en- !
j titled to register should uo so. The >
i county books of registration will be
! open rfrain on May 3rd, 1920, from 9
1 a. m., to 5 p. m. It will be too late; i
jto register on that day in order to 1

certificates should get them for future <
