In these days Of inventions and new ideas
which multiply as rapidly as thoughts 1t
isn't safe to AJAX without investigation why
some one hasn' invented this or that, or

you do some one will pop up unexpectedly
and prove that the thing has been done or
is being done. It's pretty hard work to

The Graded Schools,

The first sessions of the Newberry
Graded Schools are proving great sue
cess and none can be found now to say
aught against the wisdom and econo-
my of their establishment. The Her
aid and News is gratitied at the success
Of the schools and it is pleasant for
this editor to recall the fact that as far
back as 1884 he advocated their estab-
lishment in this newspaper, and that
he continued to advocate it, although
at first many looked upon it as an eX-
travagant proposition and a luxury
that Newbery did not need. Well
they are here and we are delighted at
their success. Up to this time 6777 pupils
have been enrolled in ali the depart
ments of these 3GG are white children
and 81 are colored. What better evil
dence than this enrolment could be
desired to demonstrate the fact that the
establishment Of these schools was q
long step forward for Newberry.
The contract for the new building
has been awarded to w. T. Davis & Co.,
and the work will be pushed as rapidly
as possible and the building will be
completed by the fall if possible. 1t
will be fine, substantial building, very
conveniently arranged and quite an or
nanIent to the town.

About Numbering Houses.

The following is from the Spartan
burg Herald Of recent date. Mr..
French should have remained in New
berry little longer and possibly he
would not have LETT ''in disgust" This
is the first instance we have ever heard
of where a man left Newberry ''in dis
gust.n He was hardly here long
enough for our people to know what he
wanted. They do not rush into every
thing that comes along but wberry
generally gets there all the same:
"Mr. A. E. French has closed bis
work of mum bering the houses, and nc
city has handsomer numbers. They are
an ornament to any house. The system
employed is known as the New York
System. The city is cut into four sec,
tions by Main and Church streets, anC
all the houses are numbered from these
streets. The distance allotted to eact
number is twenty feet, allowing space
for houses to be filled in without dis
arranging the numbers. Another ad
vantage of this arrangement IS tina
when you know the number you know
the exact distance from Main or Church
streets, and can easily calculate th'
distance to the Palmetto corner.
"Mr. French has done the worE
thoroughly and it will prove to be
great convenience to our city as soon a.
our people become familiar with tn
numbers.
MIR. French is highly pleased will
Spartanburg and its people. He says
is the most progressive town he ha
seen in the South, and he hopes to re
turn here next fall and make 1t III
home. He expects to establish new
and important industry and knows IL
place which suits him as well as ou
city. He says that one thing which II
noted especially is that each man goe
ahead on his own responsibility with
out asking how "Mr. so-and so' vii
do. That is true observation. Th
men of Spartanburg pull together
but are in nobody's leading strings, an
that is the spirit to make city prospe
rOus.
HE SAYS this is in marked contras
to our neighbor, New berry, where h
went to number the houses. The Mayo
was in favor of it, and he went out t
get the signers to the petition. \
appropriation was asked, onl y the en-
dorsement and authority of the counc
to do the work. But men who wer
perfectly able to decide so simple
question hesitated and said Wait till
see what Mr.. NJ. will do He says thi
occurred nine times in succession. II
quit the town in disgust"
