The highways to the MountaIns. The improvement of the mountain road between 'Tryon and Saluda will be of great benefit to Spartanburg. The road from Spartanhurg to Tryon already is in excellent condition and is so maintained. 'I'he building of a first rate road from Tryon, parallel ing the roalroad should make every foot of the country fronting It val uable for summer residences as far ats Tuxedo-11yond which there is al ready a line road. With an automobile highway as well as railroad conve nience the region will be ideal for sum mer homes, es:iceially for the people 01' Spartanhurg and other towns and cities within easy motoring distance. U'ntil the road between 1aurens and Spartainlurg shall be considerably tit proved the route by way of Greenville and 'oinsett Spring will probably con tin oue the favorit of travelers from the central a11(1 southern parts of the state b)1t the lotoriisIs from Charlotte. Yorkville, Chester and the Catawba seet'on of the two ('rolin:ts will na turally choose the 'partanhu;rg, Tryon and tialuda route. .\e~intimle, S"parain hurg'se olporttinl ity is to improve the road leading into the lickory Nut. Gap and Spartanbuirg ought to be able to enlist. the interest of Asheville in re building and maintaining the North Carolina end of it. The distance from Spartanburg to Asheville through the IIickory Nut Gap is not more thaii half a dozen miles greater than from Spar Ianburg to llenlersonville and of course it would be to Asheville's great advantage to draw the travelers direct ly rather tha:n through lendersotville. Beyond qutiestion the Iickcory Nut (tap, from the point of view of scenery, is incomparably the most beautiful of the roads ente'ring the Illute lidge region from South carot ina. An excellent road leads out of it at Ilat Cave to l lender sonville. The rough section of it could be put in good condition at less ex pense than the outlay necessary be tween Tryon and Saluda. The Western road from Laurens by way of Anderson and Walhalta to Cashier's \'alley is also reported to be in fine conditilon and it leads to a re gioi miuch higher than that of the .\sheville plateau and of great pietur 'sati1lene.m8. It is, ho'wev4er, ait much 'amger tr ip front the low couttury. .\1 o, ' these roads radille from I.aui rens :,nil all the trtvel from points south) of Iaurens Is likely to he lthrouigh that city, no mnatter whalI di recltio11 it eiln takes proVided only that Laurens county 1ina1intains properly the i.:urelis county roads.

As we understand It, there will 1)0 no comparison between the road from Spartamburg to Hlendersonvillo and thte ronid from Greenville. The Green wile-Hfeudersonville road has been re vised somewhat, perhaps, but it Is sbill .teep aind badly located In plac es, while the road through Polk couna ty and throuigh Henderson, from Sat luda to H~endersonville, Is well grad ed anda well located, It Is, Indeed, a modern highway. There ar'e great possiblities In road building from 0partanburg 'Into West ea t4'h Owiros.. .inA eh Sta calls attention to the fact that an Asheville-Spartanburg highway, and extension of the Mills ' Gap road, should be -projected through Hickory Nut Cap and by Chimney 'Rock through one of the most picturesque regions of the mountains. This will come along.--Spartanburg Herald. This is Imnmodest. Since Senator Hoke Smith, of Geor gia, sadly and reluctantly took the job of running the government he has had too much to do. We think that the people up there in Washington should spare him. Atlas was the only man that -tried to carry the whole works. The press bureau that so gal lantly rallies to the assistance of Sen ator Smith (Hoke) sends out some thing like this from Washington-and, by -the way, the writer is named Ralph Smith: "Washington, March 28.-The Smith-Smith cotton future bill, so de signated because Senator Iloke Srmith, of Georgia, and Senator El lison Smith, of South Carolina, joined in pressing tihe measure to its final passage tIIotgh the senate, is regarded as one of the most important pieces of Ieginlation ever enacted for the benefit of the southern people." .\nd this is followed by an eaiually beaeutiful and laudatory special article sent out from Atlanta In which it is said: "Atanta. March 3O.--Proninent At lanal 1misiness -tmin telegraphed to Senator hloke Smith this morning of fering their support and co-operation in the fight the senator is leading against cotton exchange evils. "The attack led by Senator Smith on the pernicious practices of the New York cotton exchange is being backed up by the business and political in terests of practically the whole cot ton helt. and no issue during the pres eit admIinistrtt ion h as had such a solid soulhern deniocratic hacking. '"'l'he particular measure which Senator nith is supporting along with the other southern senators. is the hill introduced by Senator Smith. of South Carolina. (t was Senator Sm it. of Georgia, who was chosen to fire the opening gun in the debate." Now who the douse ever heard of Iloke Smith daddying this hill Illis press agent is writing for Georgia c(onsumiiiptioni. it Is well known that Senator K. 1). Smith, of this state. has been lighting for the passage of soine kind of a bill of this kind for years and has fought terrific odds. lie could do not.lhing by himiself, of course. but ho has done something, and some thing tlit will redound to the good of the south. Why should he not re evive thie credit for it? Iloke Simith no douhl rendered -'plendid servic,. but if he is so imnodest as to permiit the .\lanlaa paper:s to give himi all of this crelit without rebuking them le is no friend of K. I). Smith. We hato heard of the Simith-lever bill and all -ortls of hyphenated propositions. but we do not see why our South aro liina congressmieni should not receive what is their right. And it may have been coinucidence. bitt the Smaithi-Lever lill fInally d11( pass---as the Lever bill-and the game little South Caro lina conigressman was gIven all the piraise by his fellowv members.
