A PROPOSED ROAD LAW.
"B' Suggests Plan by Which he Thinks the
County Would be Benefited.

Newry, July Editors Courier
Seeing in the columns of your paper
thoughts and items of interest from
other sections of the county, and not
seeing anything from this (the most
progressive section of our county,
community, we ask if you will give
us space in your paper to give your
many readers few items and
thoughts from down here.
The health of our town was neve,
better, due largely, we suppose, tc
the sanitary improvements made by
the Courtenay Manufacturing Com.
pany, who have looked after that
feature, perhaps, as no other mil
company in the State has. The
good health of our town, with plenty
rain, makes US all feel good.
Two of Oconee's most robust and
efficient officials, Sheriff B. r.. Moss
and Auditor J. p. Reese, paid us a
short visit few days since. Come
again, "boys."
j. Sylvester Parrott, one of the
most worthy young men in the State,
has gone to Washington, d. c., where
he has accepted a position in the
Treasury Department as book
keeper. Mr.. Parrot is a Pickens
county boy, but has been living in
Oconee county for number of years
at Newry.
Your scribe has been making in
quiries of the farmers that come to
our town as to their crops and they
all say, "Plenty rain and good
crops," which we like to hear, as the
farmer is the mudsill and foundation
of all other business, but all being
necessary for the general prosperity
and well-doing of mankind.
The Courtenay Manufacturing
Company still continues to improve
their property and village. Capt.
Courtenay, president of the com
pany, is undoubtedly one of the best
mill men in the State to provide for
his mill operatives comfort and
health. He has for them the best
houses perhaps of any cotton mill
company in the State besides a
splendid system of water works. Mr..
Campbell Courtenay has laid an
example of road working worthy of
imitation. His plan is TO widen the
roads and make them little higher
in the midle, thus allowing them
DRAWINGS from the center and giving
more room and in the end the saving
of labor and the road from washing,
for narrow road will wash and
wear away quicker than a broad one.
We think under Mr.. Campbell
Courtenay's management we can
boast of the best roads of any school
district in the county.
Now, Messrs. Editors, as the ques,

Here is wrinkle in the telling of
horses ages that is worth while re-
membering: After the eighth year
the horse has no more new teeth, 80
that the tooth method is useless for
telling the age of horse which is
more than eight years old. AS soon
as the set of teeth is completed, how
ever, a wrinkle begins to appear on
the upper edge of the lower eyelid,
and a new wrinkle is added each
year, so that to get at the age of
horse more than eight years old you
must figure teeth plus the wrinkles.

Thomas Fellers Takes His Own Life.

Mr.. Thomas Fellers committed suicide
at Old Town last week by shooting him
self in the stomach with pistol. No
cause was assigned for the deed, but it
Is supposed 1t was the result of long-con-
tinued Ill health. Mr.. Fellers had been
suffering from rheumatism for more
than a year to such an extent that he
could not get about at all except on
crutches, and his health was otherwise
very poor.
Mr.. Fellers was about 80 years of ago
and leaves wife and two children.

thanks of at least one patron OF the
Rapid Transit cars to the Colonies who
stood by the rule prohibiting smoking
on the cars. l think l voice the senti-
ment of nearly every woman on this
subject too. The Rapid Transit cars
are too clean, comfortable, speedy and
convenient to be disgraced and dis
credited by being made smoking rooms
of like the tram cars.
/ am not a crank on the subject of
smoking either. My husband and my
son smoke, and my house is not too
good for them to enjoy their cigars in.
But they are both willing to forego
smoking on the Rapid Transit cars for
the sake of public health, convenience
and the pleasure of riding on clean
cars in an unpOlluted atmosphere. And
l believe that the great majority of
men who smoke feel the same way

SUMNER CASE MAY
Be COMPROMISED
ATTORNEYS WILL SECURE FEES
SOONER THAN THEY EXPECTED.
HIGHTON WORKS AT NIGHT.

The illness of Mrs. Maria Davis may
be the means of bringing about a COM
promise of the John x. Sumner case,
which was bitterly fought in the Cir
cult Court up to the time when Mrs.
Davis who is a sister of Sumner and II
years of age, became very seriously i'll.
1t is reported that negotiations are in
progress looking to a settlement of the
case and this morning the attorneys on
both sides consented that the case go
over to next Monday morning. When
the matter comes up again, it is stated
it is not unlikely that the effort to have
Sumner proved incompetent will be
abandoned, in the meantime Mrs. Da
Wis illness is critical.
In allowing the continuance of the
case Judge De Bolt this morning stated
that it was a matter that should be set
tied with expedition. He did not APP
prove of delay unless delay was neces-
sary or advisable for some reason.
Highton stated that he thought that it
was for the interests of all parties to
have the matter so over and the judge
remarked that if the case was not
quickly settled next week, he would
hold longer sessions of court beginning
early in the morning and keeping up to
half past four or five in the afternoon.
Highton said that he hoped the court
earlier in the day. IAN my life" SAID
the former San Francisco attorney, Il
have been accustomed to work late at
night and it is my habit at night 10
prepare myself for the next days worn.
I don't mind working later in the after
noon. but the court will not force earl
Ter sessions in the morning"
Judge De Bolt said that a session to
80 in the afternoon would probably be
enough to hurry up on, and Davis bob
bed up to second Highton's kick against
early morning work. Il have seen Mr..
Highton at night at a luau, and | can
testify that he worked hard" said Da-
Wis.
Judge De Bolt adjourned the hearing
to next Monday morning at ten o'clock.
Mrs. Davis is reported to be slightly
better today but owing to her age
there are grave fears for her. Her
aged brother, whom she has been seek
ing to have declared an incompetent
has shown much anxiety about her
condition, and it is thought likely that
a reconciliation between the brother
and sister, and settlement of the big
property interests involved in the pre-
sent suit, may come about before the
matter is called in court again.
