E. If AULi,L. K0iTO The importance of good roads is a gospel that is being preached in all soctions thest, days.-August a Chron icle. And it is a gospel that cannot bo proached too often or too strongly. At loast until all of our people como to realizo anid appreciato the value and the comfort and the economy of good roads. If otr people could travel over somo good roads-we 11101111 good roads--Athey would be willing to be taxod to build them). Only a few days ago we took a little drive out over one of the roads in Richland County from Columbia and it was a roal pleasine to the hore and tho occipaits of the buggy. It is much bot tor a(] smoot her than the streets of Coluibia. If our peo plo could soo these roads and drive over them thoy would not be satis flod intil work was commenced in Nowberry on somo pernimont road building. And we have pretty fair average roaids in this county, but they eould be much better. What wo need to:ldo is tolstart ait the court houso and build good roads out inl every direction, amid keop on extend ing thom intil We reach every parl of the county. When we get these roads it will then ho more desirable to livo in the country than the town, and wo will wonder how we man aged to get aIlong so long without such roads. Money and labor put in thiz making of good roads is the bust investment. tle county (ould possibly make. We should sectiro as imany convicts i we can work to advantage and put them to work at onco oin some permanent roads start ing from the court house as hO con are of the comity and tho sooloqr wE got at it. the bettor f,ir ill[ coricerniod. In order to encourage the bulin of somo 'nOro mainuifact ur. ng ontor Prises i, Newherry we supggest to our city fathers the tdvisability of pa4s ing an ordinance exempting from city taxes for a period of five years all manufacturing onterprises that may be built in the city. W44 un derstand that, thero is i t rong prob. ability of onm or two new enterprises being started hero in the near futur. and we are suro seh an lIXI'iptio. would be tni iidnemienimt to tlhovm 1o to work aill Illh so,pei r and it . 11 VXne0 1p i'in w ](iil ro fillt ili AsdLIJUie cotton 1ill aid t.vo or thr,i yairn mills it would b)e the best in vostiuenit the town conl make. As we understand the laiw the city connil cannllot do any thing along this lino except by a vote of the pn'o lo instructing t hem to aict and ala elect ion can be ordleredl only aifter a petition asking the elect ion signed by two-thirds of the freoholdors hats been presented to them. We hiopo thiat some of our enter. prisinig Citizens willI tako hold( of,this matter. We (10 not see how anyi one could opposo8 such exemption being granted. The C., N. & L. has made a change in its schdlio which wvent into of feot yesterday. The through freight which has been passing hero at night will now pass Newborry in the morn ing at 8 o'clock, and arrive in Colum bia at 10.30. This will give tI.e people from Laurens and all the other stations an opportunity to go to Columbia in the morning. We tre sorry that connections are such that the road cannot give us an after noon train out of Columbia, but this is an improvement and we are thank ful for it. The trainmiastor, Col. J. A. Summersett, tells us that this train will make the schedule, and will not wait on connections or any. thing else. The road made a good record yeaterday. Every train was r-un on time and wvent through with out any hitch. WVe hope this record will be kept up. A lady who knew the late William Mi. Evairts once exp)ressed surprise that a member of such slender frame and fragile physique could endure so many feasts, with their varying viands and different wines. "Oh!" he replied: "I am not so afraid of the different wines as the indifferent ones." Mr. Evarts' goodl health often excited the comments of his b)rotheren of tihe bar. He attributed it to the fact that be always uot out of bed late and never took any exorcise. That is contrary to the advice that we have always heard about early to bed and early to rise and so on. It may have been the quality of the ~. ~ wine that gave Mr. Evarte his good 1ealth, but it would contribute more to gd health to take no wine at all avdioeexercise. It is an old saw that "All is fair if lovo and war," anl it was the propoi thing for Funston to take advantag( of the t reachery of certain contempti blo Filipinos. It was a bold game and he played it with steady nerve Hut thn traitors to Aguinaldo ims be decortted with the contempt oi Christendom. This was i bold gamo and w< would not take any credit from Gen, Funston that is jn.stly diuoc him, btil there is no douLt Aguinaldo was cap tured by treachery mid somehow wc never have been able to work oursell up to the point of applauding inly act that is accomplished by fraud oi treachery even though it bo done in times of war. The (lestion that is now puzzling the administration is what to de with Aguinaldo. The James ). Nanco Camp diI tho proper t hing Yesterday in extend ing an invitation to the Stato reunion of Confederate Veterat-s to hold thE next annual reunion in Newherrv. We hope that tihe ohn .1 Kinard Canmp Sons and the iDrayton luther ford Chaptor Daughters will unite ir this invitation also. We feel sur the city council will add its invita. tion on behalf of the eity. If prope (florts are made we will stand a goodi chanco to secire the reunion, and wc are suro Newberry will entortain thl old veterans in good stylo It will be worth much to the town to secire tbis reunion, and we hope that all our people who attend the reunion in Uolumbia will work to secure the next, Meeing in Nowborry. Wc should go into this thing to succeed and wo will succeed. We hopo the committees appointeI to arrango for the firomen's tourna ment will not lose any time, but havE overything arranged to make this th( most successful ton rnament over hold by the volunteer fireoen in thif State. The committe on ti-curing contributions should get to work al 0nCO. It tak's Inlmley to make thest livoiltionis a success, but when w( d > we are repaid ten fold.
