E. If. AULL, EDITOR. TIlE NA8HVILLE TRIP. We desiro to say to the editors that all railroad arrangements for the trip to Nashville to the Tennessee Centen nial have bColn practically completed. The editor of The Herald and Nows has been in correspondence with Mr. T. J. Anderson, of the Soaboard Air Line, and has arranged for transporta tion from Clinton to Atlanta over that line, and Mr. Childs, of the Columbia, Newborry and Laurons, has kindly con sented to handle us from Newborry to Clinton. Last week we went over to Atlanta to have a personal interview with Mr. C. E. Harman, general passenger agent of the Western and Atlantic, and we found hin very pleasant and willing to handle us from Atlanta to Nashville. Tihe conditions and full information will be given very soon as to details and probable cost of the trip. A atopl at Chattanooga will be ar ranged and also a trip to Lookout Moun tali and the historic battle ground. We feel sure this will be 0110 Of the leasantest. trips the association has ever been tendered and will be made at Very smal111 cost.. We only say this much so that tile members may begin to arrange to go with us. We wanlt a full attoldaleo at Nowberry and also oil the trip. We will go over to Nashville inl the nlext two week and arranlgo all detailu and places to stop and so forth. Noth ing will be left undone to make this a most delightfl trip. 1.18TEN TO TillS. The Newberry Herald and News, Tihe Charleston Post, The Anderson in1tvlligeicer, The Oeoneo News and Thle Anderson People's Advocate, as W0ll as other Pie(mont paers, Ilolg with The News, have asked the rail roads to put oil ilight, trails between tile 11p country and low ('ounlt,ry.

We hlavo no0 inside informa tion, but a few facts thalt hlave leaked Out in connIetion with the prleparations that arie nlow being made satisfy us that thlo edilors wvill be in clover whlile in Nowberry. The writer.ilas attended a few of the annual meetings, and expler IenIce has taught 1him1 to r'ead thle signls with tolerable accuracy. Newhorry and I. President Aull make a good team, anld we stake "r reputation as a p)rophIet on the prlediiction that the record Is go ing to be broken about May 25-27, and the Item will be on hland to drink a few toasts to their asucce..-Sumter Daily Itom, Kay Replies to chips. Well, Chips, you took advantage of my absence while I was pirooting and 8ashaying in Atlanta to Jump on me with both foot, but I think I will survive the jumping. I will answer your last question first-the one in re gard to the dispensary. I have never said (and tievor will) that the dispensa ry is a good thing for Newberry, and iy advocacy of the dispensary was for such as just, will have liquor sold as over against our old barroom system. If we muist have the one or the other give mne the dispensary for reasons too numerous to mention every time. Now, I don't think Prosperity is obliged to have liquor. She has been without the legal tiaflc in evil for sixteen years, and have our good poopl been mistaken so long and just now found it out. We think not, and in regard to the remark that we will have liquor sold here any way that all depends on whether the constable gets the keg or not,. I will go further and say that noman known for his devotion to his church, an(I who is opposed to this illicit trailc can buy a drink of liquor frot a blind tiger. We doubt Chips if you could buy one here. I know there is a good deal of talk about tho sale of whiskey here by some people and you ask them if they have seen it sold or bought any and their reply is, "oh no, but, I am told so," and if you ask them if they will make an aflidavit to the fact that it is being sold they toll you vory quick ly that it is none of their business to make allidavits, etc. How easy it is to find fault wit 11 existing conditions, but how hard to take the load in improv lng, especially when we have such men as you are, Chips. A pillar in the church advocating the sale of that -still that sets oin fire the soul and cauls es thousands to ill drunkards graves every year. Take my advice, Chips, read your "Way of Salvation" again, and in future on all questions of ior als and evils take the position on these questions just as you pray, aid my word for it you will never be found ad vocating such Lvls as liquor solling and then vote as you pray, and the good work will be accomplished. No, Chips, I did not get ashy at you, old boy, for I lCnow those who give must take. I know full well ''that a little nonesenso now and then is relish ed by the wisest, men." I fear that we have had So much s10e1n0110 all the time that the long suflering readers of The Herald and News are tired, and I promise them that with this letter I will stop all this nonsense (unless you jump on ma again) and try and give theml the nelws. I further promise that there is going to be no trouble between us, for goodness knows if you or I were to get our faces the least, bit disfigured we would be a sight to see. A knock out blow about thu face would "fix" us and we would indeed be Ilrty. The idea of your going to those so clals jt.t to please the childrei, and an(] you a "grandpap." You can't fool Kay nor anybody else so far as that goes. You are like the parents who go t.o the circus just to take the chil (ren. Now, grand pap, you should quit trying to p)alm yourself off as a young man and stay at home excep)t wvhen away on oflcial busiuess(?) Yes, Mrs. Kay remembers the tine when you andl she wvent to the same school, and what a good little boy you were and how smuart, and good looking youi were, and she says you have im p)roved as you have g.rown older. T1he idea, but then she feels kindly towards you, old boy, for coming to liar rescue so nobly' and explosing 01(d man Kay and his running off, and she is in hope)s that you will catch up) with emorn of his gamnes and give the whole. ca away. I havent lived with her for seventeen years not to be able to read her writ lng. I hereby extend an invitation to you to go with me on my13 next jaunt up into North Carolina among the meun talns where Sal calls on her friends to hold( her roasted p)otato while she ''dances wvith the man with store boumght clothes on1." I will p)romise you seome mighty good rations, and judging from the way you hid rations on the 9th of last March you aro prietty good on You ought not to show m11 up so, Chips. D)oes your Book tell you to do this about a friend? Readl it aguin and see if it is in keeping with it andl the lesson y'ou would teach mec. In the language of this same grand 01ld Book I would say to yeou: Cease to do evil, learn to do wvell, and only tell about your friends what you would hkaic to have told on you. I am now dlone with the suibject and imagine I can hear many amens. Come out to see mue, old boy, I will be at home for a wveek. Maniy thanks, Mr. ICditor for the picture of the group of The Herald and News 1p0n pushers, and I must say' that it is a fine one-barring Chips and1( 11e.

Justice Says the Ferry at Ashford's Needs Attention from the Supervisors of Newberry and Fairfield. Why will not the Supervisors of Newberry and Fairflold Counties listen to words of warning before too -late. Time and agaiv have their attention been drawn to the condition of affairs at Ash ford's Ferry. For te last two yoars, matters went along smoothly, and no complaint, but since the beginning of this year thera has boon nothing but complaint after complaint, but to no pturpose. The contract to attend to the forry was lot out to the lowest bider without any question as to qualification (one of the most necessary considerations) and given to a Mr. Ladd, who know noth ing whater about a ferry. I would he safe in saying he had never put a flat over the river in his life before getting the contract. Then he employs a deaf negro, "deaf as a post," and a boy at that, who know as little as Mr. Ladd about a ferry, as ferryman. Now, those are the parties whom1 the people of the surrounding country must rely for safety and protection in crossing the river, and in whose hands their lives, the lives of their woien and helpless children aro entrust-d. Those living at a tdistance from riv era, and having little occasion to cross, little know what risks and dangers they encounter while crossing streams with inexperienced hands. They gen erally trust, without, question, the judgment of those in charge. There is a great responsibility resting upon the Supervisors, and they should see to it that none but officient and expe rienced ferrymnen should attend to the various crossings. Better close up the road entirely than run such risks with the lives of the helpless. Aside from the dangers, there is lit tle or no accommodation. In the spring during rains spells when farmers can not Plow they wish to haul their guanos and other supplies. With a good steel wire and magniileient flat, such Its they have at Ashford, with an experienced ferrymuan, the river could be crossed III most at any time wh ile the river remains in the banke. But as it is if the river is the least swollen the ferryman claims he can't manage the Ilat, antid parties are frequently turned back, a distance of six or eight miles, or have to wait hours upon hours for the fall of the river. Then, when Mr. Ladd has occasion to 1)0 absent from his store, the negro will loave too, or being deaf cannot hear the call, consequently the parties wishing to cross niust either await Mr. Ladd's return or not cross. This, ott one occasion, the writer knew to be a fact, and why is all this thus? Are the counties too p)o to employ a good and experienced ferrynman? or can they not be had? Good ferrynan, like experts aLt all other t,rades, come high. The numbers are few, it is true enough, but a real ferryiman should be employed or else none. Tie counties Ior the peo ple can take such risks, nor be ex pecrimecnted withl. TPhe Sutpet'visor's shoul d look after tis matter, for' should any accident happ)en to life 01' prop0erty the County is held responsible. ny negligence Newvberry County has already had to p)ay for a team of mutles and several othler headl of stock and vchicles; while a neighborintg coutnty had to pay damauges of several thousand dollars throutgh the loss of life df a lady and child. All this, by niot pr1operly at teniding to tile wants 01' r'equir'ements of a weoll conducted ferry. If p)eople pay their taxes to have ferries for tIle accenmmaodationi of thae public they wvant good, attentive and safe ser'vice. The veory idea of a deaf, inoxp)erienced, worthless negr'o boy attendinag to a ferry whlere so much in life and prop0l erty are at stake is preposterous to say the least. Nowv, if any one doubts these assor t,ions it, cani be easily proven by numti hers of people1 who have had to be turtned away, 0or by examining the recor'ds of either Supervisor's ollee anld see the complaints that have bece made in wt'iting by different parties.
