OUR FELICITATIONS.
The Herald and News desires to!
extend to Newberry college its fe
licitations in the honor it has done:
itself by conferring upon Major J.
F. J. Caldwell the honorary degree
of doctor of laws. Dr. Caldwell is
not only learned in the law?the :
theory and principles but also the
practice?and he is also a scholar
and a historian of high attainments
and well deserves the degree which
has been bestowed upon hjm by Newberry
college. |

If drivers of cars could just be im-'
pressed with the importance of obeying
the law and driving to the right,
law or no law, it would save accident.
It is common sense and common
safety to observe a simple regulation
such as this. But there are people
Vho persist in driving just any old
way and human life is thereby endangered.

Our office . is in very much of a
mess and somewhat torn up at the
present time. The boys are installing
that press and they are digging
up the floor or the ground on which
the floor rested, and they are laying
brick and building walls and alto-!
gether they have been very successful
in raising considerable dust and
there is no comfort to stay in the

going on now for a week or more and
we are simply doing the best we can
under the circumstances, and you
will have to bear with us for just a
while, and we.hope all things will

they do get the press up and everything

for it and then it will be up to us to
do the job, and don't you forget that
. we are here with the sroods. But you
*
must bear along for a short season
until things get set up.
OUR APOLOGIES.
Here they are. We did not know
that the chamber of commerce
through its board had selected a secretary
when we wrote the inquiry i:i
the last issue of the paper. Of course
we can not tell what a board of directors
does or may do when the
meeting is not public ;and we have no
knowledge of the meeting. We were
under the impression that a chamber
of commerce vias a sort of publicity
affair and The Herald and News is
read by some ten to fifteen thousand

good medium through which to reach
the public. * I
We have since ben told that the
young man who has been elected sec-1
retary did come around to the office,!
but we happened not to be in at the i
time and 3id not know that an elec.
tion had been held until we read the
# item in the columns of our contemporary.
Please accept our apology.
Now we want to say that The Herald
and News will be very glad to cooperate
with the new secretary and
the board of directors in every good
work for this community, and if this
organization will only permit it we
11 1 T. _ A J
win ao wnai we can ana we are sure
that the purpose of the organization
is to do things for Newberry and we
want to help do them. We have been
here a long time trying to do something
?n& helping every good cause
and we are still pretty vigorous and
better able to help now than ever before.
ABOUT ROADS.
Some how we just can't help it.
We must write about roads, and the
things that go to make roads. It
may not do any good, but it fills the
space, and we have thb satisfaction
of having said the things that in our
opinion are in the interest of the
people of this county and State.
?o?
On Wednesday we drove to Columbia
through the country with our
brother. He has a good car and a
big one and is a good driver and it
- -i_ A - v x ii 1 7_^
took just aoour inree nours u> mase
the trip. Of course we could have
n*ade it in less time if he had had 110 j
regard for the car or the occupants.'
But as a matter of fact there are
only two stretches of road from
Newberry to Columbia over which*
you can make any time. These are
from Mr. A. A. Singlev's to Mt. Tabor
church in this county, and from
Wat?"ree creek to the State farm
y?rsix miles from Columbia. The j
remainder of the road is one succession
of holes and bad places. f<
It has always been a very strange 1
an<i peculiar :hin<? to us why there
are so many people who seem to be
---- 11 A -PA>* tha / rwn _
unwilling iu Luupciatc ivi Li**- winmen
good, and while helping the other
fellow be helping themselves.
Now we all know that we have a couple
small chang ganir forces, and
that we all pay a small bit of tax,
and that we have a county government
system that is supposed to look
after the working of roads and the
building of bridges. All of us should
have sense enough to know, however,
that it is impossible with the force at
command on the gang and the money
appropriated to work all the roads
and to keep them worked, and this
article is not intended as a criticism
of the officials, but a simple statement
of fact. The strange thing to
us is that in a road for instance like
the road from Newberry to Prosperity
that is traveled as much as it is by
the same people every day. or at
least many of them, why they do not'
get together and scrape the road or
drag it after every rain. It would (
pay them to do it, or why should they
not get a leader and organize a,
force or company and raise enough
money to pay some one to keep the
road in proper condition. We do not
suppose the- county officials would ob-'
ject to this being done. This road is
in worse condition than it has ever.
been. Two days work with an outfit
such as the town of Newberry has
would make it in fine condition for
travel. We do not travel the road a
great deal, but we would be very
glad to contribute our share to such
an enterprise, and the work should
be carried on as far at least as the
residence of Mr. A. A. Singley. It.
would not cost any one very much. |
0?
And do you know that the permanent
road which was built from Prosperity
to Little Mountain at a cost
of something like $6,000 the mile
only a s? :>rt few months ago is just
as bad as the road from Newberry
to Prospency. Such conditions as
these do not give very much encouragement
to the people to vote bonds
A Trr/\*?1? T r? -?o /if

this road is in worse condition in
places than it was before the making
of it a permanent road with the use
of government ^jgineers. The people
are willing to pay for roads if
they can get the roads after their
money is spent, and then there can
be some arrangement by which the
road will be kept in repair. ' ,
One branch of the Newberry chain '
gang is camped just below Little
Mountain and we suppose is going to
work up the roads in the new territory
which but recently came into
Newberry from Lexington. This is
just what should be done. And in
fact it seems that the road down to
Capers chapel has recently had a
working, but it is in very bad condition,
just because it has had no attention
since the rains and the travel
has cut it all up and the Condition is
just as bad as it was before the working.
It needs scraping and dragging
or the use of a machine just such as j
the town of Newberry has and in j
one or two days this road could be ;
made good.
From Wateree creek just where
you strike the Richland county line;
the road is fine on down to the State,
farm six miles this side of Columbia,;
and frv n there on until you strike J
r.r\cr nf Mflin street in Colum- i
*? I
bia there is not much excuse for a!
road. Now what we intend by writ
i
ing all this is to say that by just a :
little cooperation and some good
leadership even if the counties

not the means to put them in good j
condition it could be easily done, and j
it would not cost any one very much,!
and every one who makes one trip |
a year would do well to make an in- '
vestment because it would save him
in the wear of his car not to speak
of mental aneruish and loss of time.
Surely our modern civilization and
enlightenment will surest th?t we!
should de something to gyii a\v?y.
from the.^e roads which might do t">
pull a mule and old wa.eon over when
time did not count and no one was in
a hurry and no one cared much about
groins: away from home. But in these
times when every one is going some- i
where and every one wants to come,
back from somewhere the wonder to j
us is that such a condition of roads I
should satisfy the great traveling.1
public, and if not satisfied why sub-!
mit to any such conditions when they j
could be so easily remedied. That's I
what puzzles this writer, and we just'
can't help going on writing about it.

how to handle the job, could place j
the road from Little Mountain to J

Would it not pay the towns!

the way, ever, though they paid
taxes, to get permission from the
county officials to iook after these '
roads personally and privately and ]

is need of something being done.

concerned we should be glad to see
an experiment made with one of
these "creeping" tractors such as the
town of Newberry has and a good
scrape or two, and we believe that
the results would be so great that
soon we would have a sufficient num-'
ber to do all the roads of th.? county,;
and to keep them in good repair, and.

YANKEE TOURISTS MIGHT i
CAUSE A DROUGHT
By Forbes W. Bairbairn. I
. London, May 6.?The tremendous
increase in the consumption of cham-,
pagne, cocktails and whiskey due to
' 1 " r?rt.1oT\rl Kir A moriVan
tnc mVciSIUi; U1 Uligianu UJ
tourists is making startling inroads
into the "wet" stocks of London's
principal hotels, clubs and bars.
With more than 20,000 Americans
landing in London during the past
month Arturo, maitre d'hotel of thet
Savoy said today:
More than 2,500 bottles of champagne
were consumed at luncheons
and dinners in our hdt61 last month.
That is an increase of 100 per cent,
over March. I scarcely need tell you
that most of these 'sparklers' were
delivered to the tables of Americans.
Ordered Champagne by the Case. >
"Your American millionaires, not
content with drinking during the regulation
hours, ordered /champagne
t>y the case, to be delivered to their
apartments. I never saw such drinkin.0*
in my life as is going on now."
The newest cocktail dispensed at
the Savoy bar, the famous rendezvous
of Americans in London where
sooner or later all male visitors from
the states meet, is called "the
swamp." It is the first thing Americans
call for and it has a mighty
"kick." The say it prolongs indefinitely
the rolling sensation experienced
on ocean steamships. ^
Experimenting in New Drinks.
London bars are anxious concernin?
the ingredients for cocktails because
of the tremendous consumption.
They are now experimentincr with
Scotch whiskey cocktails, which so
they say is passably fair.
Commenting on the drink situation
here, Leonora Harris the New York
actress, who is soon to appear in
JUU11 (1U11 111 UUl ucitci.i, cuiu 1 \J biiv
correspondent today:
"Champagne, is remarkably cheap
here. Just think, I sold in New
York my entire cellar stock which
had been presented to me by admirers.
I got an average of $75 a
bottle. You can buy the same
champagne here for $4 a bottle."
Whisky SeJls For Twenty Cents.
Whisky sells for 20 cents a "shot"
in London. Cocktails fetch 30 cents
a "copy," while the. best white and
red wines are obtainable for $2 a
bottle.
lviany Americans are senuusiy
considering settling permanently on
this side of the Alantic. j

mind, nothing is to stand in your
way until you get in touch with this
party."
Dempster started into the wilds of
he terrible artic winter and, hundreds
of miles from the post of civilization,
found Fitzgerald's companions lying
together with hands crossed and
faces covered. Fitzgerald had cared
for his comrades until they died, and
even after death. Then he pushed
on, but was found with diary and mail
bag under his body, protecting it to
the last. In his pocket was found
his will, written with a charcoal stick,
leaving everything to his mother and
concluding: "(iod bless you an, r. J.

facing the most terrible storms he has
won through.
