The state wide prohibition leaders
are now calling for a legislative act
to force prohibition on those coun-
ties which by their vote have ex-
pressly said they do not wish prohi-
bition, and do not think that best for
the proper governing Of their com
munities. Such an act by the legis-
latuce will be an outraseously high
banded measure. It will be a direct
overthrow Of untrammelled home
rule Of a majority, by small body Of
men gathered from other counties.
The representatives from Spartanburg
and Laurens and Kershaw and Sum-
ter and the other counties have no
more right to say to the counties OF
Florence and Aiken and the other dis
pensary counties "You shall not have
a dispensary although you have ex-
pressly said you wish it, than have
the people Of New York state to say
to the people of South Carolina ''You
shan't Get ont Of bed till ten IN the
morning although You may Wlsh TO
r!se at eight. '-Sumter Herald.
We understood that the bill that
passed was with the understanding
that the result Of the election was to
settle the question, at least for sea-

bilious men who are wanting posi-

is a good way to keep in the lime

TIE VALUE OF ROADS.


The election on the bond issue for
road Improvement in Spartanburg
was held Tuesday. In a very con-
seryative and sensible article on the
subject the Spartanburg Journal says:
LOOK at the conditions in Char
2otte. On account Of the fine roads
Of Mecklenburg county the people Of
that county have free and unrestrict-
ed access to Charlotte every day in
the year. One Of the results Of this is
that Charlotte is one Of the best re-
tail points in the South. There is a
never-ceasing demand for merehan-
disc there that has built up many
large and prosperous business houses.
The tax that the business men pay
for good roads is mere bagatelle
compared with the immense benefits
they derive from it. The value of good
roads has been demonstrated to the
business men Of Charlotte.
"Whatever builds up the business
men benefits workingmen and sala-
ried people of every sort and it is
just as much to the woringman's 5 in
terest to have good roads in the coun-
try as to anybody else. Prosperous
business conditions in the city make
work steady and wages good.
The herald and news. [volume] (Newberry S.C.) 1903-1937, 1909-08-27

"Any citizen Of this town who
votes against good roads, whether by
bond issue or otherwise, IS making a
mistake. He is blocking the progress
of the town. If he is a property own
er, he is injuring the value OF his
property; if he is a merchant, he is re-
stricting the volume Of his trade; II
he is a laboring man, he is making
work scarcer and keep wages down.
Whatever he is. he is not a progress
sive man.
It is Of the highest Importance that
every voter in this city make it a
point to 60 out and vote for this meas
ure. It's defeat will be a setback that
will reflect not only on the county, but
on the city. People outside who think
of Spartanburg as a progressive, en-
terprising place, will not be able to
understand why this city should vote
against good roads. 1t will seem re-
Aection on the intelligence Of our eiti-
zens.
"Vote for good roads by voting the
bond issue. A vote against the bond IS
sue is not vote for good roads. 1t is
at least a vote to continue bad roads
for several years; and the time to get
good thing is now"
These suggestions will apply with
equal force to the city and county OF
Newberry, but somehow our people
do not seem to be in the humor to look
at it that way. We hope it will all
come out right anyway. Whatever the
people determine will suit US. Though
we would be very glad to see Newberry
do something that would give US bet
ter roads and as We see it, money put
in good roads is an investment which
will pay large dividends.

he continued, dwelling on his favorite
monosyllable, "if you decide to come

Lady Maud chose not to ask what
her friend thought he could MANAGE"
for she had glanced at his face when
he had spoken, and though it was half
turned away from her, she saw his
expression, and it would have scared
a nervous person. She did not like
him to be in that mood. and was sor-
ry that she had brought him to it.
But Mr.. Van Torp, who was strong
man, and had seen more than one af-
fray in his ranching days, could not
help thinking how uncommonly easy
it would be to pick up Count Kralin-
sky and drop him overheard on a dark
night next week when the Lancashire
Lass would be doing % knots, and
there might be a little weather about
to drown the splash.

WEED CUTTING is SERIOUS

Charlie Foster, 5urdoek Super
intendent, on Strike.

How Detroit shall deal with the
weed nuisance is one OF the problems
that Commissioner Haarer. OF the de-
partment of public works. must soon
solve.
The over-ahundant rains OF the
spring and early summer have pro-
duced the heaviest crop OF weeds the
city has ever known, and the time for
the plants 10 go 10 seed is coming
soon. Under just what law the city
shall proceed is the question now up,

and then have the lots inspected again

and the collection Of the cost from the
land-holders.
The result OF this red tape has been
that the system has annually lost
about as much money IN inspection

numberless wrangles as 10 who cut
the weeds and at what time.

JUST ONE THOMPSON MAN
LEFT IN PARK DEPARTMENT
carctaker Foley Of Convenience Sta
ton Sole Survivor and He Keeps
His Job on His Muscle

There will be no wholesale decapita-
tions as result of the elevation OF
Myrtle p. Hurlbut 10 the Office of
park commissioner. From the fact
that some IA changes were made IN
minor positions in the department
last Christmas. just prior 10 the time
that Mayor Thompson left office,
there was an impression that there
would he another turnover at thls
time and applications for places have
been numerous.
The reason that there will not b.
any sweep is because Mayor Thomp-
sons appointees have been dropped
one by one in the last six months,
until only. one remains, and he has
won a permanent place by reason Of
physical .prowess. One Of the new
corners lasted in the department only
Sc hours and others were dropped
from time 10 time.
Commissioner Hinchman has made
changes from time to time as he saw
at for the good of the department,
and Hurlbut is pretty well satisfied
with the personnel OF the department
rs he gets it.
e The one hold-over of the Thompson
appointees is Caretaker Foley, sta
toned in the Cadillac-sq. public con-
yenience station. Foley is man of
few words and quick motions, and he
took hold at a time when the park
department was having a hard time
to- control the rowdies who hang
iarpund. this building at night They
had terrorized the other caretakers
/, hut Foley soon demonstrated that
yiIght hook is the best argument.
"A couple OF nights ago large man
VINO was enjoying a fighting jag took
possession of the stairs in the con-
venience station and announced that
no one would be allowed TO pass up or
down Foley dissuaded him.
