As to Roads.

Mr.. Editor: !. see the road question
is still being agitated over the state,
and justly so, no more unjust law has
been our statute books. Why: the poor
white man and the negro should do
all the work on the roads and Let the
land owner 60 free is a mystery to
me. .....>.... ..
A property tax of 1 mill and two
dollar commutation will be sufficient
to put our roads in good condition
and keep them so. Will We ever get
Legislature that will do justice to all
on the road question? !
But I want to say, that $there has
been a great improvement in the
roads this year. The roads I travel,
(R. F. D. No. y are in much better
condition than for years past. Sup
ervisor Wicker has been very. active
with his chain gang and has done
some splendid work, not only on route
No. l, but on the different routes
and other sections Of the county.
Then the overseers have been. more
faithful than in the last few years.
With three exceptions, every overseer
on route No. l has put their sections
in good condition, and I think the
three exceptions will come to time yet.
The road working campaign has
proven that the road serape and King
drag are important factors in the
working Of our roads in the future.
With 5 mules one driver and one man
scrape four miles Of the ordinary
dirt roads can be put in good condi-
ton each day.

THE CITY ELECTION.
Books of Registration Now Open
Citizens Meeting to Fix Time for
Primary.

The books Of registration for the
city election which is to be held on
the second Tuesday, the 10th day, Of
December, are now open. 1t should
be remembered by those who desire to
participate in this election that it is
necessary to be registered, and reg
istration has to be annually. 1t is
presumed that the executive commit
tee Of the city democracy will hold a
meeting sometime soon, SO as to de-
termine upon the plan Of nomination
Of candidates:
Of course, it is taken for granted,
that the same plan for nominations
as adopted heretofore! by primary
will be carried out
The real election will be in the pri-
mary, as there is no probability Of
any other than a democratic ticket
being put up. The reason for the pri-
mary is, by this mode it requires
majority of the electors to nominate,
and in the general election which on
ly requires jlurality vote it. would be
possible for. a minority Of the cit
izens to elect mayor and aldermen.
Last year the citizens meeting was
not held until about the first Of No
vember. It is usual. however: for the
candidates. to announce. their candi-
daey before this. time, and no doubt
it will not be long before. those who
intend to aspire. for municipal posi-
tions will be advising the citizens. of
that fact.
It requires a registration certifi-
cate to vote in the primary in the city
election, and, therefore, it is import
ant that every citizen should secure
his registration certificate. The books
Of registration Will remain open -un-
til the first Of December, so that it
will be no trouble for those desiring
to vote to secure their registration
certificate. - -
There have been some rumors as to
probable candidates for mayoT4but
up to this time; no announcements
have been made in the papers. At is
understood that Mayor BrownS:;will
not be candidate te>succeed himself.

ENUMERATION INHABITANTS.
City Council Having Police Census
Taken-Proper Thing to Do
Probably 5000 People.

The city council has decided to
have a police census taken Of the in
habitants Of the city. The Herald and
News from time to time Tor the past
year or more has urged upon the city
council the Importance Of having this
enumeration made. Of course without
an official enumeration any statement
made Of the population was an ap-
Proclamation. The fact is, we have
felt that the census Of 1900 did not
do the city justice, but granting that
it did, there has been remarkable
growth during the past seven years,
and in order that we might know just
how many people there are in New
berry it is good investment
to have the enumeration made, and
by having it done by the police, it
can be more accurately taken than
by any other citizen and can be
made at minimum Of cost.
The city has appointed Policeman
Ell. II. Franklin to make the enumera-
ton. Mr.. Franklin has been on the
force continuously for a great many
years, and is entirely familiar with
every section, and is, therefore,
eminently fitted for this work.
We have contended that there were
5000 people in the city of N Newberry,
and we are satisfied that Nnen the
enumeration is completed it will be
found that our estimate was not too
large. Mr.. Franklin began work on
Monday morning and has completed
the enumeration Of the citizens in
Ward one. He is taking the name Of
the head Of each family and the num-
Der Of persons connected with that
family and living in the same house,
and is making a SEPARATE list of
whites and blacks.
In Ward one there are
1179 persons. Of these 592 ate white
and 5S7 are colored. This is proba-
bly, the smallest ward in numerical
strength in the city, but granting
that The others are no larger and
basing the estimate on the number Of
persons in Ward one would give us
about 1000 persons. If We admit
that the 7. S. census which was tax
en- in 1900 wac correct it will be seen
that the increase in population dur
ing the seven years has about doub-
led.

Horse Flesh for Food.

While Great Britain is the largest
importer in the world Of cattle and
sheep for food, it is oddly enough
the largest exporter Of horses for the
same purpose, says the Chicago
Chronicle. The exporting Of horses
for breeding and other purposes has
been profitable for many years, but
the increase since 1901 is wholly due
to the trade in horse meat in contin-
entail Europe. Of the number export
ed in 1905. only 10000 were worth
more than $100 each.
Belgium bought 21,459 at $50 or
less each, the average price being
$27.35. The best horse meat is sold
for 10 to II cents a pound, poorer
parts for Z to 9 cents, and the resi-
due is made into sausage somewhat
redder than ordinary and dimpled
with fat which is the staple food of
many poor people.
The Netherlands trade is also
growing, the British exports having
gained from6,231 in 1904 to 1854 in
1905, at prices under $50. This grow
ing demand on the continent is chief
ly consequent upon the shortage and
high prices Of other meats. -.

To Go To Anderson.

Messrs Daniels and Williamson, the
Newberry jewellers and watehmak-
ers, have decided to open store in
Anderson. They have one, of the
prettieSt stores with the largest as
scrtment Of fine jewelry, cut glass and
silver ware in this part Of the state,
and it is their purpose TO open even
Il more handsome establishment in
Anderson. The Anderson branch
will be in charge Of Mr.. J. Guy Dan
ielS. Mr.. Daniels came from Ander-
son with his father to Newberry
some years ago. and his return to An
derson is somewhat like going home,
though he has be1n in Newberry
long enough to become thoroughly
identified as one Of us. Mr.. Daniels
is an expert matchmaker and un-
derstands the jewelry business thor
oughlv. having been brought up in it,
50 to speak. We regret to lose Mr..
Daniels and his eStimable wife from
the business and social circles Of
Newberry but beg to extend to them
our best wishes for their success in
Anderson, and also to commend them
to the good people Of this Piedmont
city.

New Depot at Dyson.

Mr.. W. E. Simpson, superintendent
of the GreenySlle division Of the
Southern railway has decided upon
the erection of the new depot at Dy-
sons and hopes to have the building
ready for US in the near future. This
is a very important station on the
Southern railway, and while there is
no town large section Of very fer
tile country is tributary to this point,
and they need and deserve better fa-
cilities for passenger and freight
business, and we commend Mr.. Simp-
son for showing the consideration to
these patrons Of his road, which he
has done by arranging to erect this
depot.

by the first really rich men in
North America.
But since the death of Hunt

who, during the period of pros.

Central Pacific lost nothing by
the existence of law-making

become altered. remember the
days when it was not denied that
the railroads owned the Assem-.
