THE X4T1MR OF THE~ RO %W4'.
Referring to the fact that the farmers
of Catawba county are kept at h heir
homes by the condition of the roads,
The Newton Enterprise tays a move
mentought to be started to inprove
them and that its information is ttat
there is practically no opposition in the
county to the issue of bonds to inaugu
rate some systematic plan of road in
provement, though there is some in the
towns. Then the towns are standing
very much in their own light; they
have more to gain, if possible, from
- good roads than the county. Our con
temporary believes that this opposition
"would be abandoned if the plan of
grading, draining and covering with
burnt clay were adopted, instead of the
slower and more expensive macadamiz
ing system." It places the cost of this
treatment at the low figure of $300 a
mile. We do not fenow anything about
the efficiency of this system, but if
North Carolina needs anything more
than the banishment of ignorance, it is
to get out of the mud, and it is a pleas
ure to see that some of our counties
have taken hold of this problem in a
practical way and Are to vote on the
issue of road improvement bonds. There
are two avenues of hope for the im
provement of the public roads, and
only two. One is through the abandon
ment of farming by the penitentiary
and the putting of all able-bodied con
victs, excepting those under sentence
i & the gravest felonies, at work on the
roade; the other is the issub of bonds
To maintain a chain-gang large enough
t6 be effective is more expensive than
t) maintain an interest account, and
bonds provide means by which the
roads may be improved more rapidly
than by the other method. It is the
more practicable plan but our counties
will have to come to one or the other
unless the roads are to go from bad to
worse.-Charlotte Observor.
What is true in North Carolina is
true here. We believe we need more
"to get out of the mud" than we need
the banishment of ignorance, for if we
were out of the mud In the sense here
meant we would soon banish the igno
rance which hangs over us. In fact
good roads would be the happy solution
of many 'of the problems which now
confront us. The only way to secure
good roads is by taxation and then
have them built by contract. We have
always been an advocate of putting the
convicts upon the public roads and we
still believe that much good could be
accomplished in this way if the con
victs were properly handled, but if we
are to be governed by the practical re
sults in those counties where convicts
have been tried we would conclude that
this system Is a failure, except to go
over the roads and build a few ditches
-and this has to be done after each rain.
The best investment the people of
this county could in-ke, and for that
matter the people of any county'in this
- State, would be to vote for an Issue of
about half mIllion dollars of bonds, the
money to be used In building some good
roads. It seems tous that any one who
travels only occasionally the roads of
this State would hesitate a.long time
k before he would oppose such a forward
and progressive movement and we do
not believe any taxpayer in this county
would oppose the expenditure of public
money for the improvement of the pub
A 'lic roads.
It would. be a good Investment from
any viewpoint. The increased value of
property would amply repay the in
vestment. Then there comes the say
lng in the wear and tear of vehicles
and horses not to speak of the saving
in time and the increase in the amount
that could be conveyed by the same
vehicles and horses. Then there is to
be considered the increased.desirability
of the country as a place of residence.
Each tbounty should start a good roads
movement and the sooner the better.
The annual reunion of United Con
federate Veterans will be held at
Dallas, Texas, on the 22nd of April.
These reunions are always happy
-occasions for the old veterans, when
they can meet their comrades of the
* dark days of the sixties, and revive the
sad, ibut sweet memories of the past.
* All the veterans who can should attend.
We would like to seA a large delegatiorn
from ttG Str.e and this county. We
believe that in addition to the joy
which they bring to the hearts of the
old veterans, they do much good in that
they bring before the generation which
has now come upon stage clearer than
all the books that have been written,
the history of the great conflict car
ried on by their father's to defend a
cause they believed to be just.
We noticed the statement in the Co
lumbia papers that 156 families had
recently left the farms to go to work in
the Columbia cotton mills. At this
rate the rural sections are sure to suffer
There should be money made on the
farm if the farm is properly managed
and worked, and if there is not any
money to be made farming, conditions
are wrong somewhere. If we had bet
ter roads in the country the problem
would almost be solved, for that would
mean better schools and many com
forts. Then if the lien law were
repealed and our credit system were
changed, the farm would be the ide4
place to live.
It seems that the sword incident is
going to be the means of securing a
very handsome s word for M ajor Jenkins,
and CoL, Tillman will have his sword
left on his hands. We hope, however,
that the sword incident so far at least
as Col. Tillman is concerned is at an
end. However, Major Jenkins will
have a handsome sword presented to
him and a much handsomer one than
the first one.

An Open Letter from RepesxAntatWAe
Dominick.
March 8, 19U2
Mr. W. G. Peterson, Longshores, S. C.
My Dear Sir:-I had at first decided
not to notice the fight you are makiua
on me both through the newspapers
and otherwise, but to treat it with the
contempt which it deserves. Allow me
to say in the beginning that I am a son
of a Confederate veteran, and while my
father was but a youth at the time and,
I believe, saw no fighting, yet I have
always been taught to have and do have
the highest respect and reverence for
those who sacrificed their homes and
lives for a principle that will never die
in a true Southern heart. As to your
failure to be reappointed Supervisor
of Registration, I will say that the pri
mary reason is the same as bhe one that
you were not elected Master in the
primary, participated in by the Demo
cratic voters of Newberry County, viz :
A lack of the majority of the votes.
In that primary, on account of previous
acquaintances, your former pleasant
connections with my father and my
rebollections of your personal and busi
ness relations with my grandfather, I
voted for you. A few days after the
first primary, I was informed by some
friends that y ou not only vo:ed against
me, (for what reason I do not know,
neither do I care) but you did all in
your power to defeat me at the Lorg
shore box. I immediately changed po
sition and in the second primary voted
for your opponent. As to your actions
in the first primary, I will say that they
were confirmed not less than four days
ago by some of the voters at the Long
shore precinct. I am one of those who
believe in hitting back when I am hit
and sticking to my friends in prefer
ence to those who fought me, and if
the people of New berry County want to
doivn me on that account, I am now
willing to step down and out.
As to your being deprived of an
office, I will state that my information
was that the only reason you are not
now drawing six hundred dollars as a
distributor of mail on the free rural
delivery is that you found out that ydu
could not hold both positions and coni
sequently had your son appointed in
your stiead. I could also remind you of
another thing in this 'connection, but
do not care to speak of it here. I did
not vote for your~ res.pipointment, for
the reason as stated above, for qualifi
cations being equal, I shall always sup
port my friends and supporters, pro
vided the public service is niot thereby
impaired. I will further tell you that
out of the nine ballots taken on eight
of them you received but one vote,
(each time) which clearly showed that
you were not only not my choice for
the position, but also not the choice of
the delegation. As a public officer,
honored by-my c.austituents, I am will
ing to be criticised for any of my ac
ions or votes when it is done fairly
and legitimately and I have no excuses
or apologies to make for a single vote
cast by myself during my brief legisla
tive career and if in coming years I am
honored further by tbe people of New
berry, I shall always act as I have done
in the past, voting as I think will best
subserve the public interest, let the
consequences be what they may.
I am, yours respectfully,
FRED HI. DoMINICK.

In Memoriam.
Resolutions by the O'Neall Street
Sunday School, Newberry, S. C., to the
memory of Mrs. Lizzie White Fant.

moved from our midst to her heavenly
home, Mrs. Lizzie White Fant, a most

of her who did with her might what
ever her hands found to do, in the
church and Sunday Schzol and in com
mon duties of daily life.

words and council helped us, and led
us to higher, notler and purer things.
3. That we extend our deepest sym
pathy to the husband and son, and comn
mend them to the loving Jesus who
suffered and wept with his friends.
4. That these resolutions be spread
upon tbe.minutes, a copy be sent to the
family of the deceased, to the Observer
and Herald.
Whereas it has pleased God in His
all-wise providence to take from our
midst Mrs. Fant, the dearly loved Vice
president of the Epworth .League, and
whereas at her death we the members,
are called upon to mourn the loss of one
who had endeavored herself to all, a
Leaguer tried and true always ready to
do cheerfully her Master's work, an
officer faithful in every duty. Be it
resolved,
First. That though we bave felt and
shall feel her loss severely in our hearts
in our homes and in our League, we
bow in humble submission to the will
of Him who doeth all things well.
Second. That we extend to the be
reaved family our sincere and earnest
ympathy and that we commend them
to the lo'ving care of the Heavenly Fa
ther.

tions be sent to her husband and son
