AULL, EDITOR. h n Tuesday, August 17, 1920. t THE ROAD BONDS. n The Herald and News has given a j n rather extended and detailed account j ^ of the members of the state highway j ^ commission held in the court house 11 Friday, and the plans proposed by j c the commission in accordance with j >. i - the act of the legislature reorgamzlng the state highway commission, ^ ajid also the discussion of the proposed bond issue for this county to ! ^ which the talks at the meeting drift-1 ^ ed. We are doing this as a newspa- j n per and for the information of our j g readers so that the people may have|t all the light*'there is possible in re-j gard to the matter. The Herald and News is neither j a advocating nor opposing the bond is- , t sue. To be perfectly frank we are j a not fully persuaded in our own mind j i, what is best at this time, and" there- j a fore we are neither opposing nor ad-11 vocating' the measure, but will be j: ?-.Trifle miiatov^r verdict the f btt'tidllCU VV1WII U iiuvv ? _ f " J people may render on the issue. Of j q1 course every one knows who has read t The Herald and News that good roads is one of our hobbies, and we know that we can not have good u roads without money, and yet we h hate to see money spent and no J f roads result. Our other hobby is J t good schools, particularly the im- j t provement of the rural schools and j s that has been one of our hobbies for g many years. All the acts of the legislature relating to the bond issue and the ^ change in the county government for j Newberry county have been publish-; ed in The Herald and News..- And \ we are giving a full report of the j e meeting at which the members of the j ^ state highway commission attended j - / and the discussion relating to the. n bond act and the people can judge c for themselves what they want.to do. j * |b President Wright of the Newberry .fi Cotton mill says that our information ! s as to cotton goods is incorrect, that,' there has been a decided decline in! G - ! ~ "the price, that there has been a re- t duction of 35 cents the pound onjp goods. And that iir fact just now i there is no market for the ?oods at! all, that he has not sold any in sev-! _ - 11. eral-weeks. We make this statement1 ^ for the reason that we have no de-'; 4 * i sire to misrepresent the mills at all. In fact we are glad to see the mills j make money, because the Southern ' f mills have been worth a whole lot to, c k the prosperity of the country, but it j has seemed to us that the Droits for ( '1 x -e~? -fVio mills: have ' xne past iew jcaio _ been out of proportion to th* profit' s received by the producer, even with j 40 cents cotton. s Mr. Wright says that there always j has been an off market both for the j cotton and the manufactured article, f - about this time in the year and that he hopes and expects to see a re- 1 rival of business along these lines in . > September and October and 4.hat trade will be much better about that = i time- - , t ir 1 j c Yes, JNeiiy clear, ine eaitor redrew c very much that he did not get to see j you when he was down on that side, r and also that we missed connection + : j * on the fish trip, though just between ! c us," he does not mind that so much, j except that he missed meeting the I . good people who were to go on the trip and he also missed the good j things they had to eat, but, heaven r knows, he had plenty to eat while c down that side. Now, as to coming ; j within half mile of your home we ' t ~ * i v?i. ? ! .were so lniormeu, qui we wcic auu told that this road down to your 2 house was not the best in the world, ! c and then we just took it for granted r that you too had gone out to Chapin ; p that afternoon as it seemed that all \ your neighbors had gone. But we I are coming again and we sure are j going to see you and many more.jc whom we missed on this trip. You ^ ! know the caravan is to arrive at j r Latikoo Wednesday, the 25th, and 1 we expect to be along and we hope I to see you at that time, and then we j c will be in position to talk to you and ! the others about what time it will a suit for us to enjoy some of that j r good cooking about which you speak, j t and of which we have knowledge. , j c ? jh Mr. A. B. Langley said while the t commission was investigating the j a road between Newberry and Colum-1 a bia one of the cars got stuck in the J mud between Chapin and Little < v Mountain. That must be along on i 1 the Newberry side of the line now, ' o and we hope that the engineer was, n in the party and that while the! c others were extricating the car that j a he scouted the landscape and found! t J better grade on which to locate the < oad when we come 10 build it, be- < ause certainly the road should be seated differently before much efort is put forth to build a road to e turned over to the state. We do ot know where it should iro but it oes seem that some of those hi^h ; ills could be avoided, but they are 1 ot so bad as the red valleys in be- 1 ween. ; i Wonder what the chamber of commerce has done about that recommendation to take up the matter of a ielt line of road from Newberry to Vhitmire. The recommendation was 1 i i , t * t r> .l 1 il _ nar mis oe done nrs* ana mm u | ommittee be appointed from the ( dewberry chamber to confer with a ommittee from Whitmire and then ; ake up the whole matter with the 1 ounty officials. This is a very im- J iortant work. It would not interere in the least with anything that , lay be done by the highway commis-!: ion, but would help in the work of < he commission. : I Wonder if any one has thought j. bout what a fine time this is to use !; he split log drag. It would do good nd just because there has been a 3t of hot air about a system of roads ^. nd state maintenance and a chain ! ' o connect the counties and the vot- j ig of bonds should be no reason to (( orget or to desert the old split log , rag. It will do good even in these ,: imes if properly applied. Try it. | ! This would be a glorious time to j :se the split log drag. The rains j ave made the roads in fine shape ' or the use of the drag. And then ' he farmers can not do much work in '! he farm, and what a great thing if j ome of them would set the pace and et out the drag. I ?? VARIOUS AND ALL ABOUT. For the fatherless children of. "ranee Calvin Crozier chapter has ontributed another $6.50. Look at the "Fighting Shepherd-1 ss," Anita Stewart, tonight, Mon-' av. ;. A vagrant, Robert Childs, was nade to pay a fine of $5 by the re-! order in his Monday's court. There was one lone wrong parker efore the recorder on Saturday, the irst $2 received from that source in ome time. We.are glad to announce, and verybody will be glad to hear, that he Rev. I. E.

Douglas per ormed a ceremony at his house on Saturday at 12:30 o'clock, marrying tliss Bessie Hallman and Mr. Joseph ^orley, both of West End. The late rains and bad roads kept ome people from taking their pro>osed trips. "Man proposes,'' but ometimes the weather "disposes." , Although some braved the weather.' S The amount of money from the ; runds in the hands of the state high- j vay commission, from the automobile ( icense sales, is $8,310.47 for New- j >erry.

About the finest watermelons we lvn-n cunn WPTP ' hromrllfc in hv All". Milton B. Caldwell last week, the largest of which he sold for $1.50 apiece. On one trip in he sold rive for $6. He didn't know how much they weighed or measured, but they ivere immense melons of the Bradford variety. Think of $1.50 for one r.elon. The rain is too numerous to mention or specify.

But automobiles have been getting washed [ill right and lawns soaked without depending on that one hour a day law. A short while ago Mr. J. Monroe Swindler took it into his head to move to Columbia. It was not long until he took a notion to come back ar.d hang around Newberry as s*ib eviption agent for several outside publications. Just couldn't stay rvvay from the old city. Now Mr. C. J. McWhirter has landed him as clerk, and Monroe would like to see yxu all at McWhirter's store. Recorder B. V. Chapman had IV.mes Jeter before him on Monday naming under two separate indictments?cursing on the streets and being under the influence of whiskey ind for transporting contraband .vhiskey. He was sentenced to pay a nf Si fS or serve 15 days'for the fr.st offense and $100 or 30 days for [he second. He had not paid up to Monday afternoon. We have more tnan one reason for ^Linking that President Derrick, Prof, h inard and Dr. Cromer made' fine -peeches at the Delmar reunion Friday, but will give only the one rea:cn here. President Derrick says that Dr. Cromer and Prof. 'Kinard made ^ood speeches. Prof. Kinard says Dr. Cromer and President Derrick .vade good speeches. Dr. Cromer says President Derrick and Prof. Kinard rrorio crnnd sneeches. il.MXAV c ?X 7 Speaking of oil wells, of which we hear much in Newberry, when Jimmy Lyder sunk his tirst oil well qnd it proved a failure he would have given up in despair; but his young wife urged him on. His second stroke was a "gusher," just as his love eventually proved itself to be. This has nothing to do with the discussion in Newberry. See "The Invisible Divorce, " familiar here, at the opera house Wednesday. The music at the Lutheran church Snndsv morninsr was exceptionally ?,ood. The choir was small (that is i:i numbers) but made up for it in "efficiency set to music," with* the duet by Mrs.. S. J.^Derrick and Dr. John B. Setzler. The magnificent pipe v r;an, under the perfect control of Mrs. E. B. Setzler, gave out rich volumes of melody to vibrate on the pleasant air waves from the electric fans. Sunday night the music was of the same high order, as usual. SPECIAL NOTICE Fictures framed. A large ^'ne of moulding styles to select from. Hal Kohn. Colored candles, candle shades ami holders.
