vvu* |he lerolii anil Jems. Entered at the Postoffice at New*wy, S. C., as 2nd class matter. *? M Aiiix. EDITOR. Friday, August 20, 1920. AS TO ROADS. Every one is in favor of better roads. Every one will admit that the roads in this county are in need oi improvement. No use to waste time endeavoring to prove to the people the importance and necessity of better roads, or to tell them that the people all around us are talking j oK^nf nnr roads and that almost any ] county in which you may travel you will find better roads. The question is how are we to get better roads in Newberry county. Ii takes money to build them. The people are ready and willing- to put ur the money if fhey can be convinced" that the money -frill bring the roads. And they are not so near sighted o: so selfish as to expect the good road work to start at their door or in front ( -1 - u of their place. 1 ney wuuiu ii..c iv : know that the money is going to be spent wisely and that the road is going to be built and that it is going tc be maintained after it is built. In fact that is really the big questior now when we come to talk about road building. Is there any provision fo' the maintenance of the road after^it is built. * Under a recent act of the legisla ture there was provided a system of co'unty highways and when that system is laid out by the state highway commission provided in the same act I and the roads are put in proper condition by the various counties, ther I they are to be taken over by the j commission and maintained. A fund I by the levy of a two mills tax and the automobile license tax was pro vided for maintenance and this tax will i>e collected whether we join the system or not, and if we do not then there will be a missing link in the connection of the various counties under this state system. It is estimated, we understand, that it will take about one-half of the proposed, bond issue to make the connection o< .the roads already selected by the mmrrnssion. but when that is don? there will be no more expense on the part of the county for maintenance sarid then the remainder of the bond money could be utilized on other roads. If Newberry should stand aloof and not make provision to connect ur with this system provided by thr state then the only thing would be for the commission to go around uc and connect with Union througl Fairfield and with Greenwood through Saluda and Laurens from Greenwood. We do not believe that the people of Newberry desire ta sec an:rthing like that take place, and i' would be economy to spend the entire amount proposed by the bond issue in making these connections and tak ing step with the other ^progressive counties of the state. But the issue is presented to the people for their * * determination. If we wait to make r start at good road building un.:! we get a fund to provide the roads for the entire county at one time we will never start. We have a reputation far and near for the bad roads in this county. They can never be made better until the people provide the means for the building of them. This is an opportunity to' build and to have the main-1 tenance guaranteed. i CHAMBER COMMERCE STARTS FARMERS' EXCHANGE! The chamber of commerce is organizing a farmers' exchange to assist farmers in selling their products and in finding supplies which they wish to buy. ? If people throughout the county will notify the chamber of commerce of their wants and their offers, a record of them will be kept, and an effort made to bring buyers and sellers together. This work is being undertaken with the approval of and in cooperation with T. M. Mills, the county agent. Mr. Mills has turned over to me chamber of commerce such "For Sale" and "Want" notices as he has at present. In the future such information may b<* given directly to the chamber of commerce by letter, by telephone or by personal call, or given to Mr. Mills. Farmers having eggs, butter, poultry, garden truck and seed supplies to sell are especially urged to take r\-f 'fViie conrina Hn fViO C4v& * Uli vug v Vi U11XO OVi. V V/li I other hand, town people wishing to buy country produce may notify the chamber of commerce of their wants, so that sellers can be directed to their homes. Visitors are always welcome at the chamber of commerce offices. Farm 3rs are specially urged to call. Le * as make this organization serve coun 1 try and city alike. The office is on the fifth floor c the Exchange Bank building, teh )hone number 355.
