derson Leads /
Newberry county not only stands
alone in the matter of no bond issue
for the building of public roads,
but it is the one missing link in the
state highway system for connecting
" ~ ^ i n. 1 3 _
with Laurens, (ireenwooa, cjaiuua, i
Lexington, Fairfield and Union counties,
and when the link is connected
it will give the county cross highways
from every side and every end j
of the county. But the link is* lack- j
ing. That is, it is lacking the con- j
necting up, and it is up to the peo- j
pie of Newberry to do something to
make this connection or stand alone
among the progressive counties of I
the Piedmont in failing to do so.
At the last session of the legislature
the state highway department
/ was reorganized and a new commission
appointed and a two mills state j
L tax was levied for the maintenance j
m of a state highway system of roads
p connecting the various county seats
' by a system of state highways to be
maintained by the state after the
roads are put in condition to be accepted
by the state highway department.
And the automobile tax was
* set aside for the same purpose. The
highway department now has $24,- j
600 which it is ready to spend on the j
roads of Newberry county so suun aa,
there are some connecting links with
this county to the county system
which the highway department can
take over. Before this can be done
the roads must be made to conform ;
to certain requirements. '
One of the roads is the Piedmont
highway which is the main thoroughfare
from the coast to the mountains.
It comes direct to Newberry by Columbia
and at Newberry it forks,
one road going on to Laurens and
Greenville, and the other on to
Whitmire, Union and Spartanburg, j
and from there on to the mountains.
The highway commission is ready to
+qVo nvpr the maintenance of these !
roads just so soon as they are put in j,
condition where it can be done t>y I
the rules laid down in the statute, \
and the commission has the money
to begin work at once on the main- ,
tenance of the roads. This latter
road from Newberry by Whitmire to,
Union is known as <the Appalachian
highway. . '
On the Piedmont highway from j
Little Mountain to Prosperity there
I
has already been'spent some $25,uuu, i
and if the opening of the road under j
the railroad track at Excelsior school I
house was made this section would i
foe in condition -to turn over, as it
was built under the direction of the j
state engineer, but the road can not j
be taken by the highway department j
until it is made to connect with the j
road at the Lexington line. We un- j
derstand that Lexington county has j
* agreed to put the short distance that
is now in that county on this road in j
condition for acceptance by the |
state highway commission. Newber- j
*" of loQC.f fivp !
ry win nave tu uuuu ?.u -- miles
on this road from Mt. Tabor
church to the Lexington line just this
side of Chapin, and this link must be
connected before the commission can
even consider the acceptance of the
road and take over the maintenance
of it.
The road must be 30 feet wide and ?
all drains must have concrete bridges j
and all streams must have bridges j
of the same character or good sub- i
1 x 1 ? :
sianuai wuuucn unugcs, ?xiu tu& iwu ,
must have the proper grade. And !
then it must connect the link to the ;
Laurens line at Kinards. and the Un-1
ion line at Whitmire. That would j
connect Newberry with Richland and j
with the road from Ohapin to Lexington
court house with the county |
seat of Lexington.
Then the commission had on its j
map the road from Newberry to
Chappells to make up the link to
connect with the county seat of j
Greenwood. This road will have to i

luda, and on to Chappells that way
as the Greenwood county commission
expects to connect up with Newberry
at the river bridge beyond
Chappells a short way. The members
of the state highway commission who
were in Newberry seemed -to have
in mind the links mentioned above on
the Piedmont and the Appalachian
highways and the link from NewberPVionriplls
to connect with
1 Jf "J
Greenwood. An urgent petition was
presented to connect with Saluda and
also with Fairfield across Broad river
at some point in Newberry county, |
say along about Blairs or. at a point
to be selected by the engineer and ;
then on to Winnsboro. The road is
already assured from that section of i
the state on to Bishopville and back j
to Winnsboro and it is heading this !
way and it is a section through whirh
a good public highway should be
built. In fact we should have had a
Toi'irrmH thrmig'h this wav long ago
but with a good bridge across the I
Broad river and a good highway we j
will be brought much closer to our
neighbors in this section of the zfate
whom if we desired +o visb we had ;
to go around by Columbia. For in-1
stance it is no further from Newber- j
ry to Winnsboro this way than it is j
from Newberry to Columbia and!
then you are as far from Winnsboro j
as it is from Newberry. This high-;
way would be a great developer of \
a mighty fine section of country, j
This proposition as well as the Saluda
proposition will be taken up later
with the highway commission and as!

Then we could connect this system ;
with Saluda by developing the road
from Prosper tv to the lower steel j
bvidge. But that matter of the Sa-1
luda road will also be taken up later!
with the state highway commission, j
We have rather written this story
a little backward, but the main thing (
was the matter of making the neces-1
I
sary iitiks 'in x-ne cnam tuuuc?,wu6 j
the various county seats of the state
as required of the commission in developing
the system under the act
of the legislature.
Members of the state highway
commission met the citizens of Newberry
in the court house on Friday
according to arrangement made with ;
the chamber of commerce. The j
members of the commission present \
at this meeting were: Hon. R. G. j
Rhett, chairman, Charleston; Hon.
C. 0. Hearon, Spartanburg; Hon. R.
E. Ligon, Anderson; Hon. A. B.
Langley, Columbia. The state encyJnepy
was nlsn nresent as were sev
6i"VVA "v"' x
eral others including Mr. John B.
Sloan, chairman of the highway commission
of Greenwood county. ,
We did not get to the meeting in
time to hear all the remarks of Mr.
Rhett, but he explained the purpose j
of the commission and the -duties, j
and the desire that the county get \
in line with other counties of this j
section and get hooked up with the
state system of highways authorized
under the act. He stated that the
commission would maintain the road
l
as soon as it was in condition to be
accepted by the state and that the
commission now has on hand ready
to be spent in this county for maintenance
a total of 824,600 and is
ready to begin work as soon as a
road is turned over to the commission,
and this does not include the
proceeds that will be received from
the special tax of two mills that was
authorized by the last legislature. He
discussed the proposed bond issue
and urged upon the people the importance
of voting the bonds to keep
step with the other counties in the
* C
district. Jie rnen asKea ocuaivi

about the bond act and any other
matters he desired to bring: to the
attention of the commission.

ORDINANCE RESTRICTING
USE OF WATER LIFTED
To the People of Newberry:
The water situation in Newberry
has improved to such an extent that
the council feels safe in suspending
the ordinance, passed several weeks
ago, restricting the use of the city
water. So, from this date on, until
- ah v
further eciioti ui luumu, uui j/vu
pie may use water for any purpose
whatsoever or at any time desired.
The pump for the new well lately
completed is expected to arrive soon.
Work has commenced on the drilling
of another well for the city, in the
High Point neighborhood. The commissioners
of public works and the
council are doing all they can to secure
a good supply of our water for
* i 1
our people, so that it snan not ue
necessary hereafter to restrict the
use. !
For the city officials I wish to express
to our people appreciation for
the cooperation you have given us in
the enforcement of the water restriction
ordinance. !

Mayor.

OLD FOLKS DAY AT

Old Folks day was observed at St.

The usual large congregation

had been more favorable it is very

would have been present.
We always try to attend these occasions

The sermon in the morning was
preached by the Rev. H. J. Black,
: ^resident of the South Carolina
synod.*
In the afternoon an address was

but on account of illness she was prevented
being present and Mr. Black
made the address and five minute
talks were made by Mr. H. H. lileasc

! Pastor Koon was called away in
the afternoon to attend the funeral
of Mrs. Miller at St. Johns.
This congregation is growing under
the leadership of Pastor Koon
and a handsome new parsonage, modern
in all respects, is nearing completion.
The congregation is one of
the oldest in the state and owns a

are loyal and true. Success must
attend such conditions.
A FINE SERMON LUTHERAN , ,
CHURCH SUNDAY NIGHT
We went to the Lutheran church
Sundav ni<rht thinking to hear, as was
announced, Dr. J. L. Daniel, preach
the sermon before the union service,
but the Rev. W. J. Snyder happening
to drop in on the city Dr. Daniel
kindly gave place to him. The people
here know Mr. Snyder, the "all
j right" financial agent of Lander coll
lege, and those present on Sunday
night were prepared to hear another
strong sermon. The Rev. Mr. Snyder
is outspoken in his remarks. This
last sermon dealt with the dangers to
the home in the present condition of
affairs. He hit the prevailing evils
j of the day and pointed appealingly
1 n x 1?1 lowrvnorro A"F

Without specific reference to the lea-1

"I believe every home in America/'
he added, "indulges the hope
and breathes the prayer that we will
never again engage in war, if, with
j honor we can keep out of war. Can
we not catch a vision of it as we !
face toward the future?"
The governor received many
rounds of applause in. his reference
to world peace, and also when he declared
that the government should
bestow con/missions won by Americans
on the field of war and not rei
ceived before their discharge.

Reward for Gallantry.
Regarding tha failure to award
promotions to soldiers whose gallani
try had earned honor, Governor *Cox
I
| said he had given the subject much
thought.
I "There was a great deal of fight-1
ing done in the last month of the
war," he said. "The processes of
promotion were slow in a great organization
even when it had been '
won and recommended. There were
'thousands of boys cited for bravery
and advancement in rank who came
home without titular honors which
they had won. Some may without serious
thought, feel that if a soldier
returned without injury, he is able
to take up civil life without diffifficulty.
This, in many instances is not
tmo. "RrooV<s in fhp rAraprs <vf manV
lives turned permanently the whole
course of things. Therefore, wher- t
ever our government can aid, it ; !
should do so.
"It seems to me that the federal
government even yet should confer
these honors. .
"This is a government of free, peo- ^
pie and its processes should never
run counter to the fundamentals of
simple justice. Nothing would give
me a livelier sense of genuine happiness
than the-opportufcft^4*?* help

Commending the national guard,
Governor Cox said: *
"The military history of the great

that was rendered by the national
guard troops from the state.
