's The Newberry delegation in the t last legislature had passed four sep- I arate acts in regard to roads for r Newberry county. J u The act relating to an issue by the v rs-P +/-? ftio nmiMiTif' of r CUUIlbjr. U1 UU11UJ IV mv ,, $400,000, which act has already been ! v printed in this paper. It is rather r mixed and indefinite in many partic- v ulars, and besides in this day that b amount of money will not make a t good start towards the building of 1, roads in this county. The people s will pass on that question at an elec-! tion to be held on the 24th day of H August, that is, if the supervisor or- s aers me eiecciori. its, mnc was ui u is another act relating to bonds by v the county, but there is no way to n order that election as there are no commissioners yet elected to order the election. P Then there are three acts relating a to action on the matter of roads by 1 the townships. One of them relates ? to the road between Newberry and 1' Whitmire and is published in this is- a sue. It says "whenever the state f highway department shall select the t most practical route," and so on, the t , townships of 1, 2 and 4 or the town- a 7* " ships 1 and 4 shall vote on an issue u of $65,000 in bonds to build,the road selected by the highway department, t That is, the road down by Caldwell's d ' or the road up by Cromer's. This a act is introduced by the senator from $ Newberry. It is very indefinite, "Whenever" the route is selected, f 4-UA vAiifn 9 V YY I1U IS IU UflVC l/UC J.VUbV avibvvvua . Is the state highway department of n its own volition to come into New- 1 berry county and select the "most a practicable route," or is some one to f nek- flip department to make the sur- f vey and to say which road shall be ibuilt? "Whenever" is a very indefi- a nite term. We need the road right s now and not "whenever' the state b highway department may come^and "select the most practicable route." c And besides, we need both the up- e per and the lower road. n But even suppose one is selected 11 and the townships involved should v : , vote the bonds for $65,000, how far h would that go toward building either one of the roads. At the rate it cost io build the five miles of road from Prosperity to Little Mountain the . $65,000 would not build one-half of . . ii either road between Whitmire and ^ Newberry. If we are going to build the roads between these twTo towns, 11 as we should, why should we play at v it in this fashitm. Why not go at it 0 as if we intended to do something. v It certainly is a matter that should command .the serious attention of the ^ people of this town of Newberry as well as the people of the county. ^ XThis is a very important tratfe center p of the county, this Whitmire section, q and we should do all we can to bring g it closer to Newberry and to culti vate closer relations between the two t sections of the county, and to make p these people feel that they are really g and truly part of us and of the county of Newberry. But it would not j, amount to very much for either road g to vote $65,000, because there are p several creeks on both roads that p would require a good deal of work to t make them in good condition, and while the road beds are good and ^ j-i inert; pieutvv ux maicnai an. aiung ^ the way that would make fine top dressing for road building, yet there v should be, and in these times of high ^ prices and the scarcity of labor and j the high price which it demands and 5. the little work which it gives in return, it will take consderable money ^ to do any road work that is worth t while. But the roads, both of them, ,, should be built, and they should be built now. j The other two acts relating to townships permits one-third of the t freeholders of any township fo peti- e tion for an election either to vote i: bonds of the township or a tax for h the building of roads and when such r petition is signed the election is to be v ordered. The truth is all of the acts per1 *? *? ? ?%???* />4-^ r\v* 4 4-V* 10 13 taming- LU IU<1U tunjn ULi/iun m bino ? county as passed by the last legislature are but "scraps of paper" and b it is really a pity to waste even a * scrap of paper in these times of the v high price and even the scarcity of s paper. But they are printed and the * people themselves may judge of * them. ; 2 It seems to us exceedingly silly 15 and extremely preposterous to s*gges? that the Parr Shoal dam shall be torn away, and we do not under- 1< stand why such a thing should even j ? be thought of. If there is any law i j wfeicb Squires that the department' f justice shall take such action sue: aw should at once be repealed. I rould not only be a waste of prop rty but would be the destruction o . great public utility which is r.o*> iiore needed than ever before. As to navigation this river wi] ever be navigable above Columbi ind even with the Saluda and th iroad forming the Congaree ther 3 not much navigation possible be ow Columbia, though we believ mall boats do run between George own and Columbia semi-occasionallj Jut even if the river could be mad Lavigable above Columbia the publi itility that is now at Parr Shoal i forth a whole lot more than th lavigation of the river would b forth. And if there is such a kn equiring the channel to be kept ope i'hy was it not enforced when th 'uildmg of this dam was first undei aken, and why has there been sue ong delay in thinkine: about th uit to have it t^n away. Of course it is not going to b one. Surely the government is to ensible to undertake the enforcc nent of any sucn law ar in is urn fhcn the power that this dam fin lishes is of so much value. The farmers of this county shoul ilant plenty of sweet potatoes no-\ nd* anything that will produce fooc 'here is going to be a scarcity o ood in thi^ country before so ver ong unless we raise more, and w re not going to be able to get ou ood supply from the west, becaus hose people are going to need a hey have for themselves and the re going to keep it for their ow ise. There was a farmer from down o he Lexington side in town the othe [ay with some as fine Irish potatoe s you ever saw, offering them a 14 the bushel, which is about one ialf what they have been selling a rom the stores. And why shoul ie not grow all the potatoes that w teed right here in our own countj ^hey produce well and the price i s good as cotton and the net profi " ?? i c T?Aro rom jjruwuig mem ? v rom growing: cotton. And the sam ? true of the sweet potato, and w .re told that they are now able t ave the potato so that it will real! e profitable to grow it, and then i 5 good food. Food ..is what th ountry is going to need. You can' at automobiles or even money. Yolay have your pocket lined wit loney and if there is no food yo rill starve to death though you ma ave ever so much money. The overall fad seems to be abou 11 over.?Easley Progress.

New York city. Miss Frooks has made good. She has untangled many family snarls without resorting to the divorce courts. She has obtained justice / for tenement dwellers who have been preyed upon by landlords, installment collectors and loan sharks. She has helped pay off mortgages, settle wills and draw up contracts. She has defended criminal actions in court and protected the rights of men and women who were prevented by iron 'bars and prison gates from managing their twn affairs. , But that's not all.

Miss Frooks was given the work. Again she waded triumphantly through the task. It is no uncommon thing for the Salvatlon Army to receive urgent calls from the poor for legal' advice and assistance, and when the cases are worthy the Array obtains competent lawyers and sees that justice Is obtained. This is one of tfte incidental developments of the Army's ixany activities which bring it into intimate contact with the poor, the unfortunate and the misfit the country over. Attorneys, in many Qjties make it a J practice to give their services free to I those recommended by the Salvation | Army.

In one of the ? "gin-mills" was an utterly inebriated.^1 man with a large bundle. j "Here, shishter," he mumbled, as the 0 Major rattled her tambourine before him.
