Boyhood Days.

County Treasurer George French
spent his boyhood days down at
Redwood Falls, Mimi, and used to
fight and go "a-swimmin' with
Julius Schmahl, the present secre-
tary of state.
George and Julius used to be de-
StruCtive elements in the raising of
the neighborhoods' melons, and
were undisputed authorities on all
brands of vine fruit.
Recently, Mr.. French wrote to
Schmahl and desired a short de-
scription of the best kind of a can.
taloupe to purchase for domestic
purposes. Yesterday, Mr.. French
received the following reply from,
the Teutonic scrapper who works
in the state house and occasionally
writes burning editorials for the
Redwood Falls Gazette:

WHITMIRE TO GREER.
Proposed Road Connecting Seaboard
And Southern-Subscription
Plan for B Llding.

ne CONSTRUCTOR OI l1llIUdu 1lOM
Whitmire. on the Seaboard All Line,
to Greer. on the Southern. a distance
of to miles. is now proposed. Mr..
Lcwndes J. Browning. of Sedalia, IS
the moving spirit behind the PROPOSE
tion. and although nothing definite
has been decided upon he believes
that his plans are feasible and can be
easily carried through. The proposed
route is through a very fine farming
section and would open up territory
that is badly in need Of railroad facll-
tiles.
Mr.. Browniny'S idea. according to
The Union Times Of this week, is to
build a railroad with Whitmire. on
the Seaboard. and Greer, on the main
line Of the Southern, as terminals,
crossing the Charleston and Western
Carolina road at Woodruff. The post
Offices along the proposed route at the
present time are: Whitmire, Sedalia,
Cross Keys, Cross Anchor, Hobbyville
Cashville, Reidville and Greer. The
line would be in Union, Spartanburg
and Greenville counties. 1t would
reach within easy distance Of several
cotton mills, the Glenn-Lowry Mills
being situated at Whitmire and the
Enoree Mills and Pelham Mills not
far off.
Mr.. Browning claims that Of the
sixty miles. fifty-five Of them could
be graded with a two-horse plow, so
level is the country. and the only tres
p IN the entire route would be at
Whitmire. There are no streams to
cross, the line following the ridge be-
tween Enoree and Tiger rivers.
Because Of the easy grading it IS
estimated that the cost Of construc-
ton would be comparatively small. 1t
is calculated that the grading could
be done at the nominal cost Of 81 800
per mile. The rolling stock would
cost approximately $4,000 a mile,
bringing the total cost Of construe-
ton and equipment up to not exceed
ing $S0O,0O0.
Mr.. Browning's plan is to raise
s15O,OOO in cash subscriptions and
float bonds for 100000. He has al
ready placed 100000 Of the bonds
and if the cash subscriptions of $780,
900 can be raised the remaining$300.-
900 in bonds can be floated without
anv trouble and the road will be built.
The above is from the Greenville
News of Saturday. This road is head
ed in the right direction, and if it
should be built, it is 50 much more
the reason why the road, which we
have said so much about from Angus
ia to Whitmire, could be pushed.
It would seem from this statement
from the Greenville News that the
persons behind that enterprise mean
business. A road across the country
tdEards Augus31 will open section
Of the state that is sadly in need Of
railroad facilities. We should be
very clad to see this road built, be-
cause if it is, it will be eventually ex-
tended to Newberry even if our rail-
road enterprises and projects between
Whitmire ard Augusta, which are
now being agitated, should fail.

WRITES INTERESTING LETTER.
Mr.. W. P. Houseal, Formerly of The
Herald and News Writes of
Jno. Wicker.

The Herald and News takes pleas
ure in presenting the accompanying
letter from Mr. W. P. Houseal. He
did not write it for publication or for
the purpose of making correction,
but, as he says, to express his pleas
ure that Mr.. John Wicker had care
full attention in his dying hours. It is
entirely proper that it should be .prin-
ted in The Herald and News, and we
have secured his permission to do so.
It will be remembered that Mr..
Houseal was Our partner from 1887
to 1894 and for several years there
after was closely associated with the
office, the Lutheran Visitor having
been published in our Office for sew
eral yea,> after 1894. This letter
helps to keep the record straight and
TO give some history which we are
satisfied will be read with interest by
many people in Newberry.
Columbia, S. c., Aug 18th. :
Col. E. H. Aull,
Newberry, S. C.
Dear Mr. Aull:
l am glad to read your tribute to
lie mcmory Of John Wicker in The
Herald and News this a. m. 1t car
ries my memory back to 'S7 and the
work in the Office as performed by
him-ever faithful and doing the
best he could. His constancy was a
remarkable trait Of character that he
ncSseSsed-alu ~ on hand for the
laws work. IL matter what the con-
ditions were as to weather or physical
d.'Ciit:;;;. ::HlesS lie was simply too Ill
to stand upon his feet.
Then it is to him incidentally that
I am a printer. I took the place he
vacted in December, 1872, to 90 into
an enterprise which did not succeed.
At this point here is an error in the
Sket II. He began his apprenticeship
in 1866 Tor '65) On the Herald and
served about seven years. When the
enterprise failed-a circus company
organized III Newberry in December,
1S72-on account Of snow and ice en-
countered in the tour Of the upper
counties. and John Wicker not re-
turning in time for the New Year, Mr.,
Thos. F. Greneker sent me message
bv nv father on the Sth of January,
1873, that he needed an apprentice,
ard I began work the next day and
set my first type at 10 a. m. after hav-
ING learned the "boxes." John Wick
e. did work for Mr.. R. H. Greneker in
1878, but it was in connection with
the partnership of Slider & Greneker,
who began the publication Of The
Progressive Age on February IA,
1873. Wicker had served his full time
of seven years, although it was not
considered the apprentice term at that
time as formerly in printing Offices
would like to have helped smooth
his dying pillow.
Sincerely yours,
.,.. .-. ..~ VIM. P. Houseal.
