must not let either Charleston or
Florence beat her to the ballot.
The extension Of the sewerage sys-

the issue fairly and squarely and
make it unanimous. There is no be-
batable ground on the question at all

It is stated that the railroad COM
mission has ordered the Southern
Railway, Columbia and Greenvllle
division, to run an extra coach on It's
trains between Greenwood and Green
vile.
We have seen this train very much
crowded between Greenwood and Co.
lumbia and we would be glad if
the railroad commission could induce
the Southern railway to resume for
the summer at least its chair-car SER
vice between Greenville and Colum-
bia.
It was claimed that this service did
not pay, but it was never given suth-
cient trial to see whether it would
pay.
A car something like the one which
is operated between Asheville and
Charleston, being an accommodation
buffet car, would be great conven-
ience to the travelling public between
Greenville and Columbia, and GER
tainly the travel between these tive
points on, the c.. and G.. road is as
heavy as it is on the road between
Spartanburg and Columbia.

ceive between S15O,0OO and 100000

Senator Smith is preparing to make
a hard fight against the 20 per cent.
tariff duty on potash and kainit salts.
If the proposed duty on this fert-
lizer ingredient becomes a law, 1t
means the taking from the pockets
Of the farmers 100000 annually.
The necessary information will be
furnished the Senator, and the peo-
pSe Of the South can feel assured
there will be a fight to the finish to
prevent this iniquity from being
forced upon a class of people who are
burdened already more than any 9TH

representative up there from South
Carolina who made any fight for the
taking out of the tariff bill the 20

see the experiment tried. Some
times they sweep without sprinkling
and the dust and microbes and germs
from the street fill the air and the

these are conductive to good health.
What about setting apart that
general cleaning up day. Or is the
town ideally clean already7 I really
don't know, for the sun is beginning
to come out and I don't like to walk

Of the city.

was going to pass or had passed an
amendment to the trash ordinance. l

pose it was a mistake.
By the way, I heard man ask the
other day who was alderman in a
certain ward and nobody could tell
him for some time, until he had op-
portunity to study over the situation.
How many who read this can tell who
are the aldermen, even the wards in
which they live. l want to see every
alderman get busy and look after the
interest of his ward and the whole
town.
When I went to the post office the
other day I saw Jno. Mayes with his
coat off plowing and crushing clods
on the Methodist church lot. [ sup
pose he has planted something aud
We may expect pretty lawn
there soon. Hope he has put out
some Of those roses which he bought
some time ago so that with the grass
we may have some pretty flowers
also.
T wonder what has become Of tEat
post office building. I saw by he
paper that the site at Unlo;i had al
ready been selected. Bids were III
vited from Newberry abo.l5 lie same
time.
That Methodist church lot is the

Office buil5lrg But some t>.Izs "a, 1t
is too small. an sure building
could be put on there suitable for
the post office and give hitching room
for the carriers, that would accom-
modate this town for twenty-five
years. I am making no suggestions
because know I have no influence
with the powers that be.
It is only a question Of time when
the Union passenger station will be
moved to Caldwell Street. There is
where it ought to have been put when
the question was agitated a short

been willing to build nice brick
station. He has built a nice one at
Clinton-a much smaller town than
Newberry.
BY the way, Jno. Mayes has re-
ceived that carload Of ferns from
Bush riyer and he has nearly sold
them out already. ! saw man from
RIGHT down on Cannon's creek, where
there are lots of ferns, buy two or

They are nearly all sold and IT you

I hear that efforts are being made
to build another cotton mill. Every
man, woman and child in Newberry
should give the movement encourage
ment and support. You know the
town has got to the point where 1t
is necessary to increase the pay roll
if the city is to grow any more. 1t
is these pay rolls that keep the town
moving and the merchants busy. In
fact they are the blood and the
arteries and everything else. Some
thing that keeps the cash moving:
The fellow who locks his money up in
the bank vaults, and lives on the
little interest isn't worth much to
the life of the community.
Every merchant in the town, big
and little, every clerk, whether his
or her salary is great or small, s.:ould
take some stock in the mill. If there
is no prospect for any dividends for
ten years the investment will pay.
The pay roll of teh mill while build
in" and when in operation will give
more trade to the merchant and an
increase in salary to the clerk. 1t
will open opportunities.
