MISINFORMATION.
The' H. F.. Eidridge Advertising !
Service has sent us a page dodger or
whatever you desire to call it, pur- j
porting to give the list of papers j
published in.the various counties of!
the state of South Carolina and the '
circulation of each. Somehow we do !
not feel that it is proper for any con- j
cern undertake to give the circu-:
lation of The Herald and News un- j
less it is given correctly. In fact'
the circulation of the paper is a big j
part of its asset, and to give it to:
the public it should be given correct- j
* ly./ It is a grave injustice to take I
the liberty of publishing to the world |
the circulation of any paper and then j
give the incorect figures. j.
This service prints the circulation !.
of The Herald and News as 180$.^
We are frank to admit that at one!
time in the history of the paper
these figures were correct, and there I
was a time wh^n 1800 papers pach;,
issue was considered a fine oircula- j
tion for any paper in Newberry. And i
the time was when no newspaper in
the county had so many on its list. <
Today, however, The Herald and ]
News is printing each issue 2875 and ,
has been printing so many for sev- ^
eral months and the list is growing
steadily. And it is a real injury to ^
4-A O 1 AAA locc
VU1 UUOliiCOO IU &UI CI LiOt. O A VVU (
than the real circulation. And to do j
so is taking a liberty that is alto- j
gether unwarranted and at the same
time untrue. ?
It would have been an easy matter
to have found out what the cjrcula- j j
tion of this paper is before pretend- !
ing to publish it. We have nfever kept J j
the correct figures from the public, j ]
In this day it is a positive injury to j i
advertise our circulation a thousand j <
less than it really is. The advertiser |.
even in the small communities has I
ceased to buy space alone. He has 13
realized that when he advertises it is! j
circulation that he wants to buy and j'
not space. The time was in xms com- j j
munity that the average merchant ;
purchased space only, and wfyen he | (
gave the newspaper an advertisement i,
he somehow felt that he was confer- j
ring a favor, but that time Has hap- ;
pily passed, especially in the mind of'
the wide awake and live merchant- j
He has discovered that this is pecu-1
liarly an age of publicity and the
merchant who does not realize it and
who fails to advertise his wares is
? the one who is going to keep them {
on his shelf.
We would have been glad to give j
this advertising service the correct!
figures as to our circulation if the
request had been made, even if it
had not been more than 1800, because
that is in fact a good circula- j
tion for a paper in Newberry, but as J
a matter of,fact it is 2875 and we
expect soon that it shall be 3000 and
more. We are here to make a real j
newspaper. We know how and we
are willing to do the job. Watch us?
and see.

Another road that should have the
attention of the chamber of commerce
and the people along the way
" J -VT 1 A ?
v IS tne roaa iro^n ixewuer^y tu uua^- j
pells, and this road should be built [
by way of Dead Fall and Silveistrejei* i
because that is the best road bed and |
then a large part of the road fromj
Newberry to the steel bridge on the ,
road to Saluda would be served at
the same time. This is very import-'
ant. Greenwood county,, the county '
seat of which is only 18 miles from |
Chappells, is building a good road.
<iown to the river at the Newberry j
line, and this will naturally attract:
a good trade for Greenwood that1
naturally ' belongs to ~ Newberry ai. 1 \
that would nrefer to come tc New- :
berry, but the good road will take it
in the opposite direction^ Newberry
needs to wake up.
The prospect for a fine crop of
corn and for cotton in Newberry
T
county was never better than at this'
The <orn is particularly fine
and t'le "o seems to be a good nerca::e

she is in fact efficient and doir.tr a
fine work for the help of the community.

THAT FISHING TRIP.
Nellie and Mary and Blue Eves
and all the others who^ have been so
thoughtful and so kind as to invite
the editor of The Herald and News to
join them on a fishing trip to the Cut
Off, or whatever it is called, will be
good enough to take notice that the
editor has asked permission of the
boys for a leave of absence during
the week beginning August 2 in the
afternoon and that he expects to go ,
down in the neighborhood of Pomaria
and possibly spend the night with
Adam Aull and attend the campaign
meeting-at Pomaria on Tuesday. j
TIT^ ?c? n-A? n rr Avnr fn Sf. I

Matthews Lutheran ehurch by invi-1
tation of Pastor Hite and Thursday
is the day he wants to take th^t fish
trip and get .through with it in time
to get back to John Huffman's for
the night so as to be able to go to
the college reunion at Little Mountain
on Friday. Where we will pitch
our camp on Tuesday and Wednesday
nights has not been fully deter
nined, but sontewhere down that side
orifh thosp cnnH nennle. We are tak
"?v" VMVWV X X ing
it for granted that the boys will 1
let us off for that long, and we are *
giving the fishing party ample time 1
so that the bait and hooks and lines )
may all be ready.; Now, it is understood
that we are not to do any of 5
:he fishing unless we just feel like we j
tvant to do it, and it is also under- '
Lood that there will be plenty of
ihicken and ham in the party so that ^
!f the fishermen do not have good ^
luck we may not have to go hungry. 1
The second Sunday in August we
ire due to spend at the old home and (
;o worship with the old folk at Trinity
church, and then we will not be ]
able to get back to the office in time 1
lor Monday's job, so we will ask the i
Doys to let us from that day as well, ^
because while we are up that side 1
we just as well remain over until 5
after the meeting at Chappells.
But during all the time we will be <
grinding copy to fill up with and to
?ive the people something to read. 1
We just love to work and can't help i
it.
We do want to see the fill and the
cut off and the fishing places where
we have heard so much about the
- .i
great number of fish that may be
caught down that side, and then we
want to see where they are going to
put that bridge though it is further
up the river than where we are expected
to fish, but with the good
roads down this way it will not take
so long to go up and down, the Newberry
side of the Broad river.
The Union and Laurens officials
announce that they" are going to
make an effort to enforce the traffic
~.,u 1;*
law as to speeding on uie puum. |
highways. And the limit of the law
is sufficient speed for any one to go
on the public road. There is no
doubt that the roads that we are
building in the state will -not last
very long unless they are protected
from the speeders. And it does seem
that the average speed of a steam engine
on a good track should be fast
enough to drive a car over a dirt
road. Unless the roads are protected
from the speeders there is not
much use to build them. And is it
riot a pity thfct there is necessity for
a law and a law officer to see that
this is done;
THAT WHITMIRE ROAD.
Among the things Mayor- Blease
pointed out that a chamber of commerce
might do in a community like
Newberry, and that, the Newberry
chamber of commerce might undertake,
is. to the better of the road between
Newberry and Whitmire, just
what The Herald and News has been
saying time without end.
Mayor Blease was addressing the
chamber of commerce at its meet
ing last Thursday evening, wm;u
suggestions were asked as to work
for the chambe'r of commerce.
We hope to see this one of the
first things undertaken by the cham- j
ber of commerce. There are many j
reasons why this should be done.This
is a fine community and a wealthy
community and it is cut off from
Newberry by railroad and practically j
cut oil ly d 9 road. I. is 0:1 the;
cd::e of the ? v.riy and avout the j
sa ne distance from Uri'.Ti and Clin-}
tc.i that it is fror.i Ncwbcry and I
- . , i
these towns are bidding for ttte traae j
.frcm this community.
Union is just 18 miles away; the
same distance from Newberry. Clinton
is the same distance. The Union
authorities are now at work on a
road forty feet wide from the town of
Uniyn to the river at Whitmire. We ]
' ' ? j I
understand tnai ^r.urcns county a;;u
the merchants and business men of
Clinton are building a fine road from
Clinton to the Brick house which is
1
tlie eour.ty ilr.c, oi.'y a few miles
from Whitmire. And Xewberry, well
we h,;ve the \vo?st road in the state
be t wee n Xewh erry an ci \Y h i m ive.
The pay rcU at Whitmire is something
like $15,000 per week, besides
the trade that should come from ihe
people alone: the way. Of course
there are good stores at Whitmire
and some of the best in the state and
we are not meaning to detract from
them, nor is it our purpose to take
from them any trade, but they know
and we know that there are people
who will go elsewhere to trade just,
like a good many people go from
Newberry to Columbia when they,
may be, could do as well in Newberry,
and this is the least of the rea- j
sons why we should have this road
built. We want to make these peo-!
pie feel that they are part of us and j
that we will do what we can to make j
the towns nearer to each other and j
the feeling between the two more
congenial. This is their county seat;
and it "should be made easy for them
to come here, and then we would like .
for it to be made easy for us to go j
to see them. j
" " 1 4-Vio nlaoenro ftf

driving over to this town with Mr. {
Will T. Brown. The road is fearful. I
Many places entirely too narrow and j
the condition in many places sucft i
that it is almost unsafe to pass over, j
The road should be surveyed and in j
some places possibly relocated and-jcertainly
widened. At some of the j
creeks it will be necessary to make j
fills and the bridges need repair.!
The bridge at Duncan's creek is!
/ S I
standing just as it was several weeks j
ago. We understood Supervisor j
Sample to say that he could not get)
:he steel portion and he was going to J
build of wood, but as yet nothing has <
i?- And the old road is al- J
JCCXI UUI1V.
most beyond travel and the .bridge <
las the appearance of being danger- j
)us for a heavy load to pass over, j
Now the Whitmire people are anx-1
ious to remain in the old county and :
ire willing to cooperate in the build- j
ing'of this road and we mean by that j
:he road above and below so as tomake
a circuit or belt. Both roads j
should be built and maintainel.
K'ill pay all of the communities con-!
cerned. Something must be done. i.
We are expecting the chamber, of
commerce to take this as one of the <
first jobs it undertakes.
- j
On the return trip Mr. Brown de-:
sired to see Mr. T. J. Abrams and (
this-gave us an opportunity to take!
a look at the fine old colon??.1 nan-1
sion formerly the home of the Epps J
family now owned and ,'ocdupied byj
Mr. Abrams. This is the* birthplace j
of our friend Epps Brown now the J
president of the great Southern Bell !
Telephone company. 1$ is a fine oldplace
with large colonial columns j
and wide halls and even as hot as*it;
Was on Friday there was a good,
breeze floating through this old hall, I
and the hand frescoeing in this'
house is something you don't , see;
these days and the finding staircase j
all the way to the 'garret. It is a i
fine old country place though Mrs. I
Abrams said, and it is tru^, rhese |
houres were not arranged 'in the1
building for the present day, butj
rather for the good old days before
the war when the sefvant problem'
was n^> problem at all, and to keep:
one of them in these days is a big!
job for any woman. But we lovo them
for the memories whicfi they arouse j
and tne history they suggest of the
time when it was worth whil^ to
]*vp. '
It .'Jso reminded us that^his would
be -.5 line opportunity to call cur
frierd Epps Brown's attention to the
ficfc that as the head of the great
company whose destinies he is dire?ting
that it would be a mighty fine
thins? for him to arrange a telephone
line from Whitmire to Newbirry so
that, we may talk to the good people
up th:s side and along the way without
going around by long distance,
and then bf .ble to get only the people
who live in the town of Whitmire j
and who are near enough to the long,
distance station to be called. Why j
* -* O A r,A !
not buna tne line at once: ,-n.nw
when ycu get at it give us a line j
from Chappells to Newberry and one
from Little Mountain to Newberry
so that we would net have to call
long distance every time we wanted
to speak to some one in these sever;-]
communities. No one anywhere
has watched the career of Epps
Lrov.n with rv/re prise a~i..1 interest
thin the editor of 'this pr-ner, "and no
o". -1 ].. ~j le. mere genu^io picn.'U*.e
at the success which he has attained
t vv,i wo hnvf. arid we know that he
has won his position by dint of labor
and on account of the native ability
which he possesses and v,re want him
now to answer our call and do something
to give us a direct phone iine
to these points here mentioned.

can's creek, leftV Newberry Monday
morning to complete the bridge. He i
asks us to say that there will not be
anv rrnssinc at this nlace on Wed
nesday, Thursday and Friday of this
week, because when he begins to put
up the part that is now missing it
will not be possible to cross on the.
old road and there can be no cross-;
ign until the bridge is ready for j
traffic and it will take several days
to get that portion of the bridge in j
shape though he will hurry the workj
as fast as possible.
The proposed bridge connecting'
Fairfield and Newberry counties j
should be placed across the Broad j
river at the place where it will serve-j
the greater number of the people of!
the two counties and where it will be ?
the greatest convenience for the peo- j
pie, even if the banks and the condi- j
tions are better at some otherv place f
for the building of the bridge. It
should not be the purpose to build
the bridge where it can be built for j
the least money and where the ap-1
proaches to the river are the best, |
these should not be the controlling!
factors in the matter at all.
Wa understand that the road be-!
tween Newberry and Prosperity is being
worked and put in'such condition
that it may be traveled. That
is a good thing because this-road was
certainly getting in bad repute.
