A newspaper dispatch from Wash- j
ington states that they have found a'
defect in the Volstead act. It is said
i
that the law provides against the in- j
ternal use of liquor, but nothing is
said against the use of it for bathing, j
and that any doctor might prescribe '
a bath in liquor if he deemed it nec- ',
Qssary for the patient without doing;
violence to the provisions of the law.
v But the question is where would he
find a wash tub full at one tim^. He'
might find it with one of these trav-j
eling stills, to be sure. . I
? j
Judge Sease taiics very plain to the
juries at Spartanburg, and lays the
blame upon the petit juries for the
* ii . 1 ... .1 1
f prevalence 01 crrme in trre iana to- <
day, and then the judge adds that i^- ,
norance is the cause of the juries',
faili-ng in the performance of duly.'.
And yet yon will find now and then ]
^ some man vwho will take the position 1
that we are paying too much for edu- i
cation. Ignorance is the handmaiden ,
of crime. And then tLere are those 1
who seem to think that the proper,
way to put down crime and prevent
l&^fiessness js through the law officers <
that is to say the sheriffs and the con- ^
stables, and that we must make men ^
good citizens by the strong hand of {
the law rather than through the chil-;
dren in the school room, it you ever,
accomplish anything Worth while you!
must start with the child in the schocll '
and in the home. You will never ac- ^
complish many reforms by force.
Our last legislature, for instance,
in a fit of false economy, took off the '*
officers who are to provide and zee (
to it that the children attend the ^
schools of the state, aYid increased 2

people if they should violate the law. *
Starting at fhe wrong end.
There shou'ld be no curtailment in *
the matter of our educational energies.
We should struev to make our 1
teaching force the more efficient ar.J 5
to insist on the highest type of char- 1
acter in the teachers,, and to secura those
wiio have chosen the work as 1
a profession, and in order to do thece 1
things it is going to take money, and i
ive as .a state take no back- ?

DELIVERS US A LECTURE |<
Our young friends of the Saluda i
Standard have proceeded to deliver a ;
lecture to the editor of The Herald i
and News. Well, we are ready and J
willing to admit, and do now proceed ~s
to admit, that what we don't know i
about running a newspaper and the 1
handling of the subscription list J
would fill a great many very large '<
volumes. And we are willing to ad- 1
m>t lurtner, mat mere is in our upm- j
ion a. good deal of sentiment in the i
natter of taking and paying for and 1
reading the old home paper. May <
be there should not be, but when the 1
country weekly gets rid entirely of <
the idea then its field will be largely ;
? ----?? -> -J A i i it {
usurpeu uy me ujg ...v.o,
mission on enrlh wiii be ended. Probably
we are too far behind the progress
of this age to-under take to pub- 1
lLh a newspaper, or even try to write
for one, but somehcw we just lik:? the <
idea of having ju-st a little of ?3nti- i
mer/; even in businei3. We have a i
/ feeling that it would make better men
and better women of us if we had i:.
We have been at the game cn ore ,
% ?itiH the same paper and in the sain3 i
community, longer than any other editor
in South Carolina, we mean in
continuous and consecutive service,
and we are still wagging along, and
possibly if we had had a little more
business and a little le^s sentiment
we would have been, a little ahead cf
the game, but we know that we hav?
made some good and tried friends i.i
the thirty-five years that we have
been on this old newspaper, and that
is worth something. We know that
Ihere are names on our mailing lLt
that have been there for fifty years,
even before our day, and that there
are children and grandchildren of
sc.ne of the old subscribers who are
subscribers, and to whom the old pa
per feels like a member of the family,
and it is sentiment that brings
about that feeling, and we are glad
that it does. Then why eschew sentiment.
It is one thing that this old
world needs no.v, more sentiment i.i
business, because that means that
there is some heart -eft even in business.
,
But it takes money to run even a
country' weekly, and we must part
with some few of our good old friends
if they do not come across with something
on their subscription. And we
recognize the fact that the best way
and tie only proper way to handle a
subscription list is with the cash down
in adavnee. And -that is and has been
i
our rule, but owing to press of work
we have not corrected the list as
promptly as we should have done,
and in this way there has been an accumulation
of those who have gotten
a short way in arrears. And we repeat
that it pains us to take the
names off the list that have been
there for so many years, but we are
going to do it before this issue is
printed, if they do not heed our appeal.
There is a different relation that
has always existed between the publisher
of the country weekly and the
subscriber than that which exists between
the editor of the city daily and
his readers, and when you take 'the
nersonal awav from' the country
weekly you ihave taken a great part
of its most valuable asset.
The Standard editor is correct,
from a purely business point of view,
and if you are to live in this age and,
make anything you will be almost
obliged to adopt the cold blooded bus-1
iness methods of the age, or you will;
be run over. However, we will have
to travel the same old path we have.
-? ^ ?
trod lor a generation or mure <u:u uu
the best we can, but we want all our
subscribers to remember that we have '
ariven fair notice and even extended
the days of grace, and there can be
no further extension. In fact we
believe the good cCd custom of giving
three days of grace in the banks has
become obsolete, and now you must
walk the chalk line right to the minute.
? j
Well, it may be all right and no
ioubt is, but we are going on .having
>ome sentiment, and it will cause us
pain to remove the names of good
friends who have been familiar names

TO DYSON.
I had not been over to the old
lome since July and my time was up,
?o I decide dthat I would make the
;rip on Sunday. My plan was to get
an early start so as to return in the
2arly afternoon and stil'l have several
iour% to stay. I left Newberry at
ibciit 6:30 in the morning. Not
laving been very well for the past
everal days I asked my colored supervisor,
U. S. Gallman, to go along
;o help in the case of accidents and
svith him and the boys and their
nother we started. I am writing this
story to say something mainly about
:he roads. My good friend, Dr. Tom
Dreher, of the Calhosn Times seams
to think th&c the Newberry editors
must have a good time because nowr
md then Mr. Wallare and I have
something to say about the trip3 we
;ake, but for the doctor's benefit 11
svrll say as for this Editor a good partj
)f his duties take him over the roads
ind from this on I will be soi~j
ibout the county at least three days
in the week and sometimes more, and
[ f;nd it a pretty good filler to write
something about these trips and
about the roads and the schools and
;he other things for ? which these
jood people in Newberry are noted,
ind the people read what is u
>vr:tten. .Now whether or not it i*
helpful *s not for me to say, but I
may be permitted to express the hope
that it is at least harmless arid w!U J
io no hurt. And as I have said many'
times before there is no compulsion
Dn any one to read .it, if it is net what
. 1
you want why just skip it over and no
^fiense will be taken.
Well, we hit the road md every
thing went along line. I thought it
best not to try the Deadfa11 road because
my information was that th3
contractor out this sid^ has not heeded
my surest-ion to at leas'- enieav->r
* < > keep the road passiole until he had
finished the jc,b, because there are a
g. (at mar.y people who must of ne-'
cessity travel the road while he is
building it. Wejl, I wanted to see
wha: had been done out the Belfast
o** Longshore road, so we tried it out
as far as the Lewie place and then
out by Zion c'hureh. The Longshore
road is fine so far as I traveled it,
though not yet completed. It has
been relocated from the O'Neall
pkee out to the river and the old can
yard hill has been removed by the relocation,
and you have almost a
i'tr;road to the n/.road and a
much better road bed, in- fact it is going
to be a fine road when completed.!
The road out by Zion is just like it has j
Vvo/J T m ncf V? a^tt_
Ul'WHyS UCCJJ) UCIVI. a uiu.1t ) i j v? r? ever,
that the good people of the Zion
church took my suggestion and fixed
that bad place that has always been
right along side the church and the
going along there is all right now.
The highway from Silverstreet to
Chappells has been about completed
and from the place you enter i?t at
Zion on to the Williams p'ace is a fine
road, one of *he best in the county.
The road has been relocated nearly all
the way and many of the short curves
and crooks have .been taken out. From
the Williams place to Chappells there
is much work yet to be done bat much
of the tcp ?oil has been put on and the
travel overjt is fairly good. The road
comes right into the main street at
Chappells and takes out the right
angle at Dr. Holloway's place. Just
i
how it is to go from Chappells to
the river I was a little curious to
' know but no one that I saw could
' tell me. I understand that at the
river a long bridge is to be built
' along side the railroad trestle and
' that it will be about on the level of J
j the railroad track. If this bride is I
J built of concrete it will be worth ;
while but these wooden bridges are
Ivery expensive at any cost because
(they are always more or less unsafe
; and alii the time needing repairs. A
good concrete bridge is there for all
' ti'rrsp.
I ' f
I found a flat tire just as I reach-!
ed the 18 mile post and turned into!
the read leading direct to ChappeHs. j
I ran this car for more than (5,000 I
| miles without changing of tires ex- I
cept once -or twice and now it seems;J
that I am to have to make a change ! I
on every little trip that I make and it JI
is not because of bad tires either. The jl
road from Chappells to the river is j
very bad just as it has always .been, it
and I shall be very glad when the new !|
road ib compacted to the river, and! 9
the man on the Deadfall road gets to |
the place when he can let us travel:
that road. The Greenwood part of
the road is fine. I drove around to j
see my friend Henry Williamson, and j
of course he wanted me to take din-;
ner with him but this I could not do i
but. promised him a visit soon when !
he will barbecue a mutton. He oc-!
curies the home -built by Cap tali n,
T. J. Dyson before the civil war, and j
he has had it painted and fixed up i
and really it is one of the most mag-'
nificent old real country mansions in 1
the state, and has a real homelike' ap- 3
pearance. i
There certainly was a very heavy j I
rain around and above Si'lverstreet a:l
few days ago, because the highway is;I
terribly washed up in some places, I
and especially along between Mr. Al- j I
bert Schroder's and Mr. Wash Su- 'I
ber's. In the fill along here half of I
the road is was'hed away and it seem-18
.ed to be caused by the .insufficiency I
of the drain pipes that were used to I
take care of the water, they are not I
l^ro-a onmwrli 5>nd thp water beine* un- I
aliie to go through them just went
over the road with all the force of water
and carried the road away wi'th at.'
And I was told on Saturday that the '
same thing happened on the Whit-mire
road. It is well that it happened at
this time 'before the road is completed
and in time to apply the remedy be- [
fere the road is finished. There is
great power in running water and
sometimes the rainfall is very heavy.
!

except Mrs. Alice Robertson, a niece
of my father w.ho has been visiting
there for the past two months. She
has been right i'H for a -week, but I
was pleased to find her better and
a'ble to be up and she hopes soon to
be herself again. Mother came home
with me and will spend several days
in Newberry. When the new road is
completed to the river a trip home

road will be finished by 'the early fall, a
