We were in Spartanburg the other
day for an hour, and through the
courtesy Of our friend, Mr.. c. H.
Henry, Of the Journal, we had an op-
portunity to see something Of the work
which has been done by this live and
progressive city in the way Of street
Improvements.
The public square and the main
thoroughfares are laid in vitrifed
brick and it makes very pretty and
a very desirable street. The resi-
dence streets are paved with differ
ent composition. which costs about
the same or little less than the Wit
rifed brick. It has a foundation Of

Of course it is presumed that the

duties are performed as they should
be. Just what the duty Of the sec
retary is we are somewhat at a loss
to know, and We Will not undertake
to enumerate just now.

The undersigned as members Of the

which as stated above leaves bal
ance on hand Of $274.39.
The Committee is at loss to know
what to do with the balance on hand
and have determined to turn it over
to the Bachelor Maids, a charitable
organization, on the 18th day Of Au-
gust, 1907, unless contributors to the

macadam. but the surface is very soft
and smooth. and it is said to be very
durable. The city Of SparranburG
has now about six miles Of this paw
in- in addition to having the public
square and the main thorou@hfares
laid in vitriied brick.
Of course it takes money to do this
work. but no town. after it has reach
ed the size Of New+berry, can grow
much more until some work has been
done towards the building Of perman-
ent streets.
Newberry has grown very much in
the last two years, but we have got
ten to that point now where it is in
dispensable to further growth that we
should do something else besides have
our street hands going around throw
ing brick bats, cutting grass and dig
eirg jitcaes and cleaning out bitches
if we ever expect to keep in our class.
Of course we understand there are
other things which we need and which
must come, but it seems to us that
there is nc more pressing need at
present than that we sho::li do some
thing towards permanent street work.
S2artanburg has grown very rap
idly in the last two years and evi-
dence Of this gowth is seen on every
side.

AS TO A HOSPITAL.

Laurens has three or four patients
now at the hospital in Columbia, and
elsewhere. We don't know how many
Newberry has, but The Herald and
News is aeitating a hospital for that
city; which is a good idea, and we
hope The Herald and News will sue
cee1 in its undertaking. If such an
institution be established in Newber-
ry Laurens won't have SO far to send
patients needing hospital treatment.
-Laurens Herald.
And Newberry has some three or
four in the hospital all the time eth
er in Columbia or some where else.
Somehow no one seems to have
caught the inspiration from our re-
marks and nc movement has been
made looking to the hospital in New
berry. We suggested that the ladies
begin to agitate the subject and may
be they can arouse the men. Chester
has a hospital. The movement at Alb
beville and Greenwood has been sue
cessful and the money has been rails
ed and the hospital for these towns
has been assured.
We wish we possessed some magic
power Of arousing from slumber those
who ought to be up and doing and
who ought to get out Of their selfish
shells. We would then do something
d a good many something's for this
community. They need to be done
and if they were done everyone would
wonder why they were not sooner
done.
As to the hospital some Of our
young doctors ought to get behind
the movement. Who will take the
lead?

The soIdier'u Idle Time,

Military life ia necessarily made up
largely of loaing. You cannot keep a
man continuously at drilling. marching
or any other branch of military train
ing for eight hours a day and 1--WE or
six days a week. You have to invent a
great many other jobs for him, even to
make a pretense of keeping him occu,
pied But these jobs are nearly all
floating" jobs. and when it is all done
the soldier has a great many more idle
hours ON his hands per diem than any
other man in the same rank of life. l
do not know whether it is possible to
arrive at any remedy for this, but. II
1t is, the direction in which 1 should
look for the remedy would be to make
every soldier work at some other trade
for a certain number of hours each
day. The number of hours might be
shorter in the summer, when there is
more opportunity for training and mill
tary exercise, and longer in the winter.
II this were practicable, no doubt II
would make an enormous difference tc
the value of the soldier as a citizen
when he leaves the ranks-London

SOLAR MOTION.


The Little We Know About Where
the Sun Is G0tnG.
Can we nnd out anything about the
motions of our ola system7 The old
astronomer. before the invention of
spectroscopic methods. could attack
the problem only by a consideration Of
certain stellar motions. 1t has beer
found that these motions are not alto
gether casual In character. as we
should expect. but there is a tendency
b q grouping of the motions-an ar-
rangement other than fortuitous. II
appears that the individual stars form,
ing the so called consultations on the
sky are slowly closing up near a GER
tain point Of the heavens and as slow
~ opening out near q point diametric-
ally opposite. This is just what We
should expect IL the solar system is ar-
preaching the point where he stars
are opening out. The phenomenon has
been compared to what we see when q
regiment of soldiers marches toward
Is. At Arst there IL visible a confused
mass of men only, but as distance Ii
minishes the ranks open out until each
individual becomes at last plainly visi-
BILE.
In this way it has been possible to de-
termine approximately the position on
the sky of the ''apex" Of solar motion,
OF that point toward which our solar
system is at present travelling. 1t is in
the constellation Hercules. We are
obliged to assume that our path 10 for

in question that many centuries must
come and go as moments before we can
hope to detect the orbits curvature.
We are like travellers in the famous
"corkscrew" tunnel Of the st. Gothard
railway. Trains enter on a low level
n after going around a huge curve
cut in the mountain emerge from the
tunnel again on a higher level and at a
point almost directly above the en-
trance. Passengers while in the dark
tunnel often amuse themselves by
watching the needle of a pocket COM
pass. which makes n complete revolu

the compass they could not know wheth-
er the train was moving o a straight

Of the solar system, too, cannot know
