HELPING THE FARMERS.

Congressman Lever has been very
active in his work for the farmers
in his district. Only recently he has
been in Lee county and in Sumter
county securing soil surveys by e1-
perts from the departments in Wash
ington and making experiments. This
work is being done under the dlrec-
ton of a newly created division OF
the government on the utilization
Of soil.
The purpose is to ascertain and to
demonstrate the fertilizer and crop
to which the soil is best adapted. This
state uses more commercial fertilizer
than any other state in the union
and Mr.. Lever is Of the oplnlon-and
we suspect correctly-that at least
one-third of it is wasted by using ter
tilizer that is not adapted to the soil

PICK AND SHOVEL BRIGADE.

The pick and shovel brigade is still
at work on our streets throwing
brickbats and tin cans and broken
bottles out Of the bitches into the mid
die Of the streets thereby making very
attractive and beautiful Thorough

An automobilist said the other day
in one of the best street where he
had been accustomed to taking MS
best rides there we're so many BRICK
bats and tin cans thrown out OF the
bitches into the middle Of the street
that he had actually to change his
course. There is no doubt if we con-
tinue to spend the public funds on on

have some beautiful streets IN New
berry probably by the end of the pres
ent century, when the brlckbats and

eeal into one solid and substantial

The following paragraph appeared
in the State of Tuesday. We are glad
that the Public Service Corporation
has decided to move its headquarters
to Columbia, and also that it pro-
poses to make the first lire as indlcat~
ed in this paragraph.
1t should be of considerable inter-
est to the people Of Newberry, and
we believe that the decision to build
the loop as indicated here is the wis
est one that the Public Service Cor
poration could have made. It Will
carry its line through section that
is very fertile and that is in very
great need Of railroad facilities.
"a representative of the Public
Service corporation who was here
yesterday states his belief that by
this time next year the headquarters
of the company will have been estab'
lished in Columbia and that the grad
ing Of the roads out Of Columbia will
have commenced. He states that as
a matter Of record the company has
spent over 100000 already in having
surveys made.
"There will be three branches run
ming out of Columbia, one via Lexlngg'
ton and Saluda to Newberry and
Whitmire and Union and Winnsboro
and back to Columbia, forming q
loop. He believes that this will be
the first line on which work Will he
commenced. The other will be start
ed toward Orangeburg and thence to
Summerville and Charleston"

terview along this line from Congress-
man Lever are very true and we COM
mend the efforts of Mr. Lever IN en-
dcavorin" to assist the farmer to make
his life easier and the profits from
his labor greater:
II told the Marlboro farmers, who
are using 1,50O pounds Of commercial
fertilizer to the acre, that | believed
that this state (which spends $4,000,
900 year for commercial fertilizer,
more than any other state IN the IN
ion uses, is wasting third OF this
fertilizer by using too much, and a
third more by shallow plowln@.
"In my opinion the south has SUI
fered more from politicians talking
demagogery and pessisimism than
from all other sources. The farmer
wants to get the idea in his head that
he has got to work, work hard and i'll
telligent]y and with faith and conf
dence. The Southern farmer has un-
told riches in his grasp if he will but
get down to work and quit growing
about his down-trodden condition."

We understood that sometime ago
city council had purchased some paw
ing material in pursuance OF the
agreement which it was thought had
been reached among the owners OF
property in Caldwell street from
Friend to the public square for the
paving Of that street. If the agree
ment has fallen through, or was never
perfected. we hope that city council
will use this material in paving some
section Of our streets so that the work
of permanent paved streets will be
begun.
A city or county cannot make bet
ter investment Of public funds than
to put them in-o perma":r: street and

We have not heard any sound like
starting that hospital about which we
wrote some days ago. Abbevllle has
already raised something like $4,000
for hospital; Greenwood is agltatlns
the subject, and We hope the sugges-
tons contained in The Herald and
News as to Newberry will not be per-
mitted to pass by without attention.
We have as fine physicians here as
any Of these towns, and while this
is a very healthy community, yet IT
would be good thing to have first
class hospital, because people do'some-
times get sick and there are, unfor-
,unately, times when it IS necessary
to have some surgical operations per-
formed.

It would be interesting to know
why there is no better discipline at
Clemson, whether it is because the
members Of the faculty know moth
ing of discipline or because they are
afraid the boys in charge will turn
them out of their fat jobs There can
be no good from the liberation of such
doings in South Carolina. The young
men who are to become the future
rulers Of the state are not fit for such
calling until they have first been
taught to obey.-Yorkville Inquirer
From a editorial in the Press and
Banner one of whose proprietors is a
trustee Of Clemson college the fol-
lowing paragraph may explain and
| answer your question:
"Deeply as the board of trustees
and the faculty regret any disorder
it is a we'll known fact that in mill
tary organizations, if there is disor'
der, the fault primarily rests with the
commandant. The board Of trus-
tees look to the Commandant for or
der, and any man who has ever been
in military service knows that the
efficiency of the service is exactly
commensurate with the efficiency OF
the commanding officer. IF cam
mander is not a consistent discipll'
harlan, he cannot correct resulting
evils by measure so drastic as tt
sweep out one fourth Of his com
mand."
It would seem from this that the
fault for the diSobedience and lack Of
discipline, which is admitted by thu
Press and Banner, lays entirely al
the door Of Capt. Clay. We do no
know tha tive can agree entirely witt
the lecture, which the Press and Ban
ner reads the newspapers OF thl
state and the charge which it con
'air>. that they have displayed a erea
deal Of nerve in criticisins Clemson
College. So far as we have observ
ed, while there has been some critic
ism. it has all been in a very friend
{!v S:5;ri: and with expressions which
The herald and news. [volume] (Newberry S.C.) 1903-1937, 1907-07-19

show a ,!eep interest on the part OF
the press in the success f the insti-
tuition.
We dn not see how Clemson should
be above criticism. and so far as we
know, there Is no newspaper in the
state that would do anything to hurt
the institution but they all show dis
position to help. There has been no
display Of opposition to it, but all the
expressions have been along the lines
of earnest solicitude.

PARLoR CAR FOR COAST LINE.

With the Greenville News at one
end Of the line and the Charleston
Post at the other, the Laurensvllle
Herald and The Herald & News in be-
tween areall insit'ngupon the Atlantic
Coast Line hane..ing a parlor car be-
tween Greenville and Columbia. 1t
would seem to US that the passenger
service on this road, which is proba-
bly, the heaviest Of any road in South
Carolina, would warrant the company
to give this additional service. We
had hoped that the commercial bod
les, which are presumed to be organ
lied for the advancement Of the best
interest Of the communities in which
thew exist, would have taken hold OF
these suggestions and assisted the
newspapers in their efforts to secure
better accommodations for the travel
inc public. We are satisfied that the
Southern will find that the public ap-
preciates it's efforts to serve those who
travel, and we know that this parlor
car would be appreciated by the pat
rons Of the Coast Line between Char
lestop and Greenville.
So far as we have observed none
of these commercial bodies, to which
we have referred, have taken any ac-
ton to assist the newspapers IN their
efforts. If the chamber Of commerce
cf Newberry has done anything, 1t
S kept very quiet. 1t seems to us
that this is legitimate subject upon
which the chamber Of commerce
might take action, either through its
officers or its standing committee. We
believe if the matter is brought otti-
cially to the attention Of the officials
of the Coast Line with unanimous
request from these organizations IN
the several towns between Greenvllle
and Charleston, that the parlor ea1
service would be put on at once.

There were few people on the

twenty, but the report of the remark-

Various theories have been given
to account for the fish being in the

they were sucked UP by a tornado in

east. The fact that the fish resemble
mountain trout adds to the plausibil-
