We observe the following para
graph from the Greenwood Index:
Spartanburg county has voted to
issue 100000 in bonds for the pur-
pose of improving the roads Of the
county. Spartanburg evidently does
not believe in waiting on Senator
Latimer's Federal aid scheme. Spar
tanburg county is as progressive as
Spartanburg city. This latest mark
Of progress puts that county right
at the top. It has been there for
sometime so far as this state is con-
cerned. The reason? Spartanburg
people do not mind spending money
to get money.
The Index, like The Herald and
News, was a little previous in its
commentator Of the people Of Spar
tanburg. It seems that later lafor-
nation shows that the proposition to
issue bonds for the building Of roads
was voted down. We regret that the
Spartanburg people by their votes
did not make it possible for the
words Of commentator, spoken by
the Index and The Herald and News,

It was not the intention Of Editor

when he remarked that the number

claim any great knowledge Of this

that four one spots was a fairly good

MR. TOMBSTONE HoNoRED.

We congratulate Mr.. Alan john
stone and the people Of Newberry
that one Of its citizens has been hoa-
ored by promotion to the head of one
of the most important institutions IN
the state. Mr.. Johnstone was one OF
the first elective members Of the
board of trustees for Clemson college
and rendered valuable service in the
building of the college. For some
reason the legislature failed to re-
elect him and for few years the
state was denied his valuable counsel
and work on this board. Sometime
ago, however, he was elected to the
position of life member on the death
of Mr.. D. K. Norris and has gone
into the work with enthusiasm.
Now upon the resignation of Mr..
R. W. Simpson as chairman Of the
board his services have been recog-
nized and he has been CHOSEN by the
entire board as president Of the
board Of trustees, position which
carries with it great honor, much la
Dor and time as we'll as added respon-
sibility. In this new position we
have no doubt Mr. Johnstone will
measure up to the requirements plac-
ed upon him.
We regret. however, that this posi-
ton which has been voluntarily CIV
en- to Mr.. Johnstone shall deprive the
people Of Newberry county Of his
valuable services as a member Of the
general assembly for under the con-

O remain and TO be true.

to remain and to be true.
AS a matter cf fact the vote indi-
Gates that the city of Spartanburg
really defeated the bond issue, though
a very light vote was poiled through
out the county.
We suppose it is just as We stated
sometime ago in regard to Anderson
that everybody is suspicious of ev~
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 cam
not make any substantial progress
until we get out Of such narrow
grooves and become broad enough not
to be envious even if the good work Of
improvement should strike
our neighbor before it hits us. Good
roads in any county and in any por-
ton 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 are opposed to
street Improvement, because they
fear that the street in front of some
body else's door will be improved be-
fore the one in front Of their own
door will.
We cannot understand the narrow
ness Of such a position, yet we can
not close our eyes to the facts. We
only hope that these conditions will
soon pass away.

Mr.. Wallace C. Tompkins is pat
riotic citizen who has the welfare Of
Edgefeld at heart. He will donate
one hundred acres Of land for a troll
ley line from Augusta, Edgefeld, Sa-
luda TO Newbe:ry. We hear Of others
who are ready to aid in a like manner
and others with cash. Edgefeld is
surely awakeningH HEdgefeld News.
There will be no difficulty in secur-
ing a right Of way to any company
that will build the road. We mean
from Edgefeld to Whitmire. The
people in the country are very anx-
ious to have this road built and will
give all the aid and cooperation in
their power. A gentleman from No. 8
remarked the other day that the peo-
pie out his way would be willing to be
taxed if necessary, if they could be
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 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 another
meeting will be held and some. prac-
tical plan such as suggested by Gen.
Butler be adopted so that we may get
to work.
A construction company with the
right of way secured and the line sur
veyed would have something tang1-
able with whic,,, to go to these other
people.

Baltimore News.
And speaking Of COWS, it is relat-
ed that a Baltimorean who was no.
used to the ways of the country went
into the suburbs to visit friend who
had taken up amateur farming with
two COWS, a bee and a hoe. At the
table they had excellent milk fol
general purposes and astonishingly
good cream for the coffee and cereals
The visitor expressed his admiration
and then inquired:
(Which Of your COWS gives cream,
"The sorrel,' was the prompt re-
ply. 'tBut we have a neighbor down
the street whose COWS don't give any
thing but condensed milk"
''Indeed?"
"Absolutely true. It is an inven-
tion Of his own. He gets the condens-
ed milk by putting six cows in to a
stall big enough for only one.''
And the visitor returned to Balti-
more breathing reverently:
<'Marvellous! Marve) )lous! L will
never again question the wisdom of
nature.''

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 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 a man Of Major
Hemphill's high character and ability
to the senate as a counterpoise to
the impetuous and fiery senior sena-
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
Posts candidate. The Herald and
News would have been in line long
ago, but for the fact that we have
made it rule Of our existence to
stand by Newberry men, who always
have political ambitions, and as we
never fail to 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 noise
around Newberry, which sounded like
the fluttering Of a senatorial canii-
date or two, but not having heard any
such noise and the time being so near
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
Hemphill's candidacy for the United
States senate. That is about as neaf
as We can, just at this time, come to
committing ourselves.

We observe that the people Of
Summerville, away down near Char
lesion are making complaint because
"of the screaming Of whistles and

ing noises h. will soou have al, ordi-
nance passed. "equirin. these trains

Gen. Butler in his interview with
the News and Courier on labor eondi-
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-
gress Of the country, and then in a
little while he will denounce the cor
porations for their terrible oppres-
sion Of the people. can't figure out
how he stands for both propositions.'
It is a little remarkable that the de-
magogue should be able to remain in
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 are
constantly denouneing the negro
would be almost ready to start a civ
il war if there should be any organiz-
ed effort for the exodus of the negro.
In fact, we believe that the legislature
has already passed an act requiring
the license for emigration agents to
be so high as to be prohibitive. We
believe that the negro is the best farm
labor that we can secure in this coun-
try and we also believe that the white
people and the farmers Of this coun-
ry can control the labor without any
great amount of legislation if they
will determine to do so and if each
man will do by his neighbor as he
would like for his neighbor to do by
him. Of. course the first step in this
direction Will be the repeating of the
lien law and we are satisfied that this
will be done at the next session Of the
legislature.
