Mr.. Wallace C. Tompkins is a pat
riotic citizen who has the welfare Of
Edgciicll at Grart. He will donate
one hundred acres Of land for troll
Icy li1e from Augusta, EdgcGc!d, Sa-
luda TO Ncwbery. We hear Of others
who arc ready to aid in a like manner
and Others with cash. l,dyclield is
surely Observation-Disclosures News.
There will be no difficulty in sccur-
IN" right Of way to any company
that will build the road. We mean
from Eigclield to Whitmire. The
people in the country are very anx-
louS to have this road built and will
give all the aid and cooperation in
their power. n gentleman from No. 8
remarked the other day that the pco-
pie out his way would be willing to BE-
taxed If necessary, if they could he
assured Of the road.
We should have the road bed which
has already been graded from here to
Augusta. IT would help great deal.
There might be necessity for Il few
changes but the work that has been
done would be Of great help.
We hope Gov. Sheppard and his
committee will get the information
they are to seek and that ahothe,
meeting will be held and some prac-
liral plan such as suggested by Gem
Butler be adopted so that we may get
to work.

right of way secured and the line sur

AS NEAR AS WE CAN.

We very much admire the persis-
tency and the energy which is dis
played by the editor Of the Charles
ton Post in his efforts to bring to the
front his candidate for the United
States Senate. We sympathize with
him in his efforts to arouse the state
press to The Importance and advisa-
bility and the necessity to stand up
to one Of their own members. We
should all assist the editor Of the Post
in his efforts to crafty the ambition
Of a brother editor. But the Post
seems to have been more successful in
securing foreign endorsement, as
note the following from the New
York Herald: "South Carolina De-
mocracy would strengthen their or
ganization and crafty the rank and
file of the party throughout the coun-
try by sending man Of Major
Hemphill's high character and ability
to the senate as countcrpoise to
the impetuous and fiery senior scna-
tor" And this appeared in the Sun
day Herald at that.
We believe that the Bamberg Her.
aid has burned all bridges behind it
and pledged undying support to the
Post s candidate. The Herald and
News would have been in line long
ago, but for the fact that we have
made it Il rule Of our existence to
stand by Newberry men, who always
have political ambitions, and as we
never fail 10 furnish our full quota
of candidates for all Of the positions
in the gift of the people Of South
Carolina, We have been waiting to
see if We could not hear Il noise
around Newbcrry, which sounded like
the fluttrrlng Of Il senatorial canIi-
date or two, but not having heard any
such noiSc and the time being SO neal
for the alignment to be made, We
have about decided to drop in line
and put our shoulders to the wheel
which is being turned by the Charles.
ton Post in the interest Of Major
Hcmphill 5 candidacy for the United
States senate. That is about as near
rs We can, just at this time, come to
committing ourselves.

to remain and to be true.
AS Il matter of fact the vote indi-
Gates that the city of Spartanburg
really defeated the bond issue. though
a very light vote was poIlcd through
out the county.
We suppose it is just as we stated
sometime ago in regard to Anderson
that everybody is suspicious of cv-
erybody else and is afraid that his
neighbor will get the advantage of
the good roads before he does, and
therefore, nobody will get it. We can
not make any substantial progress
until we get out Of such narrow
grooves and become broad enough not
to be cnvious even if the good work of
improvamS Snt should strike
our mci"hbor before ii hits us. Good
roads in any county and in any por-
tion Of any county will benefit all Of
the people of that county, just like
good streets or some good streets in
any city will help all The people in
that city, and yet, we find in some
cities that people arc opposed to
street improvement, because they
fear that the street in front Of some
body elsc's door will be improved be-
fore the one in front of their own
door WILL
We cannot understand the narrow
ness of such position, yet we cam
not close our eyes to the facts. We
only hope that these conditions will
soon pass away.

1t was not the intention Of Editor

Gen. Butler in his interview with
the News and Courier on labor condi-
tions spoke very strong truth when
he said: eff we could get rid of the
demagogue this country would be all
right. Why fellow will get up and
make a speech in which he portrays
the marvellous prosperity and pro-
grcss Of the country, and then in Il
little while he will dcnounce the cor
porations for their terrible opprcs-
sion OF the people. l can't figure out
how he stands for both propositions. -
1t is little remarkable that the de-
mago"uc should be able to remain il,
the saddle in this country so long.
We are strongly convinced that
Gen. Butler is right when he says
that a lot Of these fellows who arc
constantly dcnouncing the negro
would be almost ready TO start a civ.
il war if there should be any organic
cd effort for the exodus Of the negro
In fact, we believe that the Legislature
has already passed an act requirin.
the license for emigration agents t,
be so high as to be prohibitive. VI
believe that the negro is the best farm
labor that We can secure in this coun
try and we also believe that the whit,
people and the farmers of this coun
ry can control The labor without an,
great amount Of legislation if the,
will determine to do so and if eacl
man will do by his ncighbor as h,
would like for his neishbor to do b,
him. Of course the first step in thi:
direction will be the repeating Of tht
lien law and we arc satisfied that thi:
| will be done ut the next session Of the
| legislature.

Condensed Milk.

Baltimore News.
And speakin" Of COWS, it is relat-
Ell that Baltimorcan who was no.
used to the ways OF the country went
into the suburbs TO visit friend who
had taken mp amateur farming with
tw" COWS, a bee and hoe. At the
table they had excellent milk for
general purposes and astonishingly
good cream for the coffee and cereals.
The visitor expressed his admiration,
and then inquired:
(Which Of yoar COWS gives cream
1.-The sorrel,' was the prompt re-
ply. "But we have a neighbor down
the street whose COWS don't give any.
thing but condensed milk.''
"Indeed 2"
absolutely true. It is an inven.

Ell milk by putting six COWS in to ;

And the visitor returned to Balti

never again question the wisdom OF
nature.'

Association of Spartanburg county
have fixed l3 cents as the minimum
price for this season. We under
stand that President Jordan advucat-
cs Is cents as the minimum. We should
think that the action Of the Spartan
burg Association is the wise course
to pursue. If the farmers can re-
ccivc a minimum Of l3 cents for their
crop we think they will be in bet
ter position to control the situation
in the future. We do not believe it
