THE RECORDS SCOUT CARS.

The good roads scout cars Of the
Columbia Evening Record will reach
Newberry either the last of this week,
OF some time early during next week
probably early next week.
The Records scout cars are seek
ing routes for good highways from
Columbia, the capital Of the State, to
the various county seats in South Car
olina. One Of these highways will be
from Columbia to Newberry, diverg-
ing here, one route going to Green
wood and on to Greenville, and the
other to aurens and on to Spartan
burg. In all likelihood the cars after
reaching Newberry will 60 first over
the proposed route to Greenville via
Greenwood.
This is an undertaking which is
arousing enthusiasm throughout South
Carolina in the interest of good roads
and its effects will be lasting and far
reaching. The plan is feasible, and
with very little effort on the part Of
the various counties good highway
from the capital to every county in
The State could be built, and this
would mean the building Of highways
in every section Of every county
for, once a county has some good roads
it is bound to have more good roads.
Newbery is arranging to meet the
escort them to Newberrry ,and at least
escort them to Newberry. an dat least
one Newberrv car will pilot them on
to Greenwood. A fitting reception
for the scouts while they are in New
berry is also being arranged. The
Newberry cars will meet the scouts
at Little Mountain. Among the cars
which will make up the escort will be:
Capt. W. S. Langford' s speedy Ford
roadster, which led the Atlanta Jour
mathew York Herald cars from
Greenwood to Newberry, and which,
driven by Mr.. W. C. Waldrop, one of
the best drivers in the South, led
them well and gave them all the
speeding they desired; car from the
Forde Motor Company, Of which Mr..
W. C. Waldrop, above mentioned, is
a member, as is also Mr.. Forde, from
whom the company takes its name;
DR.. Frank D. Mowers Ford roadster,
which was also Of the party which
went to Greenwood and Abbeville to
meet the Journal-Herald scouts, hav-
ing preceded them to Newberry, to
look out for some bad places in the
road and have them repaired; prob
ably the Rambler touring car Of Mr..
R. Herman Wright, who did some
fine driving in plotting the Journal
Herald cars, and possibly others. -;
The cooperation of all the people
OF NewberTy is urged and is expected
IN giving the scouts warm welcome
.<on their arrival in Newberry. As soon
as the cars get back from their pres
ent trip the time Of their arrival in
Newberry can - be- definitely. given.
This matter Of working up good roads
enthusiasm means a great deal for
the towns and counties affected. The
"details Of the reception to be given
the. scouts are already being arranged
and will be perfected as soon as the
e~'date Of their arrival is definitely
e; known.

TO OUR READERS.

The Herald is rather proud of its
issue this evening. 1t consists of
eight pages. The eight page paper
was made possible by the liberal pat
ronage of its advertising columns By
our progressive merchants. We
xiii continue to make The Herald
eight pages Saturday providing we
receive sufficient encouragement.
Besides the Associated Press dis
patches, We received today full re
, port from the Texas News Service.
This report chronicles the happen
ings of all Texas.
1t is our aim to give Brownsville
a good paper We have been lavish
in fitting up our new building and
installing new machinery to be pre-
pared for the growth which we be
lieve must come We are ready
at a moments notice to make The
Herald an eight page paper We
cannot do this, however. without the
cooperation of our merchants.
Advertising is our stock in bust
ness, and we carry a complete line
Of it. Judicious advertising in The
Herald will return a hundredfold
what it COSTS Heretofore it has been
the custom to run an advertisement
for six months and even a year
without a change. This era has
happily passed. The Herald desires
change of copy at least twice a
week. It is much more expensive
for us to make these changes, but
we know the results TO the aoveruse
will be greater if he keeps the space
he has contracted for alive with
fresh news.
Let The Herald be your salesman.
Let The Herald talk to is army of
readers each night, and tell them
what is going on in your store, and
the splendid grade of goods you
have ordered for them. VIII it pay?
There is no doubt about it. You may
be sure that it will be the best in
yestment you can possibly make.
The Herald is ready to assist its
patrons in preparing their advertis-
ing copy if it is desired We viii
relieve them of all worry. and sub
nit changes OF advertisements for
their approval.
The Herald has a splendid paid
circulation. 1t is widely read in
Brownsville and is forwarded to
every town in the valley
The Weekly Herald has larger
paid circulation than the combined
papers published in the valley The
Daily and Weekly Herald are bust
ness-getters.

T A Taylor, of Austin, professor
of Civil Engineering at the State
University paid his first visit to
Brownsville last night. Prof Taylor
has been taking a little trip through
the Southwest country investigating
the conditions of schools that are af-
filiated or wish to become affiliated
with The University. He made stops
at Corpus Christi, Kingsville and San
Benito, arriving at the latter town
last night and remaining over until
the departure of the branch train to-
day.
The trip has been made unexpect-
eddy pleasant, Prof. Taylor said, by
chance meetings with many old
friends and former students, some of
whom he had not seen since their de
parture from the University.
Prof Taylor is enthusiastic over
the steady increase of the attendance
at educational institutions through
out Texas. The university, the A. &
NJ. College, the three normal schools
and generally, the common schools
throughout the state report larger
numbers of students tnan ever before,
and this in spite fthe poor crops
in the central and north parts of the
state Contrary to the rule that
seems to hold in the north Prof.
Taylor says ne mas noticed that the
attendance at the university increases
more rapidly during bad times than
when money is plentiful When
money is light and Jobs are scarce,
young men go to college but when
conditions are reversed and good pay
ing positions are plenty, many give
up the pursuit of knowledge to obtain
an early start nthe chase for the
nimble dollar
Another fact that experience has
taught him is that period of activity
in the steel industry or in rail
road building means an increased at
tendance at engineering schools. The
increase at the university is also not
able he said, because of the fact
that entrance requirements have been
stiffened considerably especially i
the law school in which department
there is an enrolment in the junior
class of eighty-f1ve whereas not more
than twenty were expected.
The university football team gives
promise of being one of the best ever
turned out at the Austin college and
is expected said Prof Taylor, to wipe
mp the gridiron as usual with their
old rivals from -. & NJ
Prof. Taylor left for Austin this
morning regretting his inability to
make a longer stay in the valley. in
vestigating more fully the marvellous
developments of which he had caught
only glimpse, but it is impossible
for him to remain away from Austin
any longer.
