work has been done and is mow in pro-

will spend $125,000 at once upon the
Improvement of the streets. Paved
sidewalks are being extended to the
residence section and the streets are
being laid in vitrified brick Some of
the streets have bccm widened as
much as ten feet and more, and was
told that already about six miles of
street in the section Of the town
where the property was most valuable
had been widcncd 10 feet, and it had

The South Carolina Public Service
Corporation will hardly be able tc
bluff any of the cities it wishes to op-
crate in to give it valuable franchis-
es by disseminating the work Of sur
veying the line until this shall be
done. Street railway franchises are
worth money to the people who own
the streets and such should be grant
ed with caution. There are lots of
people who have not believed that
the South Carolil1a concern would
ever build railroad. The cessation
of work will not serve to convince
these that they have been mistaken.
'-Spartanburg Journal.
We have been very much of the
same opinion as the Spartanburg pa
per. We understand that reprcs-
cntative of the corporation was in
Ncwberry this week and will be back
next week to appear before counc,l
to secure a franchise from the CITY,
we presume only to pass through, as
council has already granted fran
chisc for the building Of street car
line in the city. Council should move
carefully in these matters. If the
road is to be built and any assurance
to that effect can be secured then Of
course there could be no objection to
granting the franchise with proper
restrictions, for the road is the thing
We want.

may possibly sparkle much as a necklace of
