the direction Of the government ex-
pert sis in worse ix than it Was be-
fore" it was worked. Who is "'they
say?" And would it not have been
much more in keeping with spirit
Of fair discussion for the Observer
to have gone out and seen that road
for himself than to have taken the
word of "they say?" It is very close
to the city. It would have taken very
little time. But then it is not supposed
that any one will engage in a fair
discussion on the "bond" question.

WHAT ABOUT IT, MR.. FEAGLE?

The Abbeville Press and Banner
this week carries a very sensible edi-
torial on the subject Of sign posts on
our public roads. It says:
"The law Of South Carolina pro-
vides that the Supervisor shall look
after this as part Of the duties con-
nected with the building and keeping
in repair the public roads,
"Abbeville county once had such
sign posts. They were about ten or
fifteen feet high, and painted white
with black lettering at each cross
road. The arms Of the post pointed to
the destination of the road with its
destination printed on the arm. They
have all disappeared now and nothing
marks the direction for the stranger
travelling in the country.
We do not know why the custom
of marking the highways has fallen
into disuse. 1t was certainly great
advantage to the traveller who was a
stranger in the country, and even to
those who lived in one part Of the
county and not we'll acquainted in
another they were hep in plotting
his pathway.
"Sign posts, new and white, gives
the country roads an air of dignity
and Importance that is pleasing, not
to mention their utility to the stran-
ger and so-journer within the coun-
ty'< gate.''
We agree with our contemporary
and are glad that the question has
been brought up. It would be small
cost to each county in the State to
mark its roads with suitable sign
posts. and the News would like to
propose to our supervisor that he see
what can be done to bring about the
proper marking to the public high
ways IL Greenville countv.-Green-

GOOD ROADS AN INVESTMENT,

There are some counties in this
State which stand in such mortal
dread of a bonded Indebtedness that
they will not go in debt for the pur-
pose Of securing good roads. Their
people admit the need of road I'M
provement, but will not adopt the
only means by which the necessary
improvement can be made. They pre-
fer to 60 along spending money year
by year in temporary repairs, which
in the time that it would take bond
issue to mature will cost more than
the principal and interest on the
bonds, and then the roads will be IN
no better condition than they were at
the beginning. A road tax is suffi-
cient when applied to the malnte-
nance and occasional extension Of
good roads after they have been built;
but comparatively few Southern
counties can expect to establish a sys-
TEN of good roads thus. Mecklenburg
issued no bonds. but not all counties
occupy so favorable position fnan-
cially; and, besides, Mecklenburg,
starting as pioneer, could better af-
ford to take it's time.
The people who are not willing to
put debt on their county in order
to secure good roads lose sight of
the fact that bad roads are heavier
tax on them in many ways, such as
loss Of time, wear on stock and vehl-
cles, retarding advance in price OF
real estate. etc., than would be the
interest on the bonds and the sum
annually put to the sinking fund for
payment of the principal. Expend-
ing money in properly building good
roads is not spending but rather IN
vesting il in way which will be sure
to bring good returns to the investors
and to those who come after them
Charlotte Observer.
The above is so we'll said and ap-
plies with such striking force to
Newberry county that it would seem
that it was written with special ref
erence to this county and at this par
ticular time. Our people seem to
stand in mortal dread of bonds. IF we
could have called the debt by any 9th
er name it would not have had near
the terror in it.
The money spent from year to year
under the present system is almost
absolutely thrown away. We are
spending now something like $4,000
or $4,000 a year on the maintenance
of chain gang and in return We are
getting almost nothing. Money put
in good roads is an investment and
not similar to other tax which goes
simply to the maintenance Of the gov
ernment. We seem to lose sight Of
this fact. But what s the use, our
people are against this forward step.
1t is sure to come in a few years,
but We did very much desire to see
it come so that We might see the re-
suits.

BETTER PASSENGER SERVICE

There is work that should be
taken up by the combined Chambers
Of Commerce Of Sumter, Columbia,
Charleston, Greenville, and other
Eplaces interested. It is the securing
Of chair cars on the various passen-
ger trains. Day after day one train
rolls into Sumter and pulls out again
filed to standing room only and to
discomfort. There is no reason why
the Atlantic Coast Line should not
give us chair cars on the more i'm
portant trains. and pressure should
be brought to bear to make it do so.
Copying the above from the Sum-
ter Herald, The Newberry Herald and
News adds:
"The Herald and News and the
Greenville News have been agitating
this for long time and we had about
reached the conclusion that Sumter
and Manning were indifferent. We
are glad to see that YOU have walked
mp and we hope You will arouse Your
chamber of commerce. Concert Of az
tion on the part Of the patrons of the
road from Charleston to Greenville
will do much in securing the atten-
.tion Of the railroad people. Let rep
resentatives from the various cham
bers OF commerce get together and
do something.' -
IF We could in some way succeed
in arousing the interest of Charleston
and Columbia in the movement to
have the passenger service on the
A. C. L. and its subsidiary lines i'm
proved we might be able to accom-
plish what we have been working for
for two or three years. Greenville

Suppose you call a meeting in
Greenville at the Ottaray hotel of
representatives from the various
towns interested and let rs put in
shape formal request to the railroad
to give this suggestion a trial. Ask
representative from Charleston, Man
ming, Sumter, Columbia. Prosperity,
Newberry. Clinton, Laurens. and any
others that are interested. Have
representative from the organized
bodies Of these various towns and the
newspaper men in the towns and pu:
the matter right up to the railroad.
We are going to join You in keeping
everlastingly at it. In fact We be-
lieve We started after it before the

any argument over that. We will pull

will not get it done until it is put

I wanted to say some more about

off on another subject. You have to
talk about roads and bond issues and
things like that now, if you want to

the wrong side Of the question to pose

the election about what great things

doesn't keep me from talking. In this

the priceless privilege Of every man
to talk, and to keep talking. That's
one of the things that makes this
great country so great.
There is another thing, by the way,
! too, which in these latter times, es-
pecially, marks the privilege of the

that all of US can't always do just to

TIE IDLER.

The Idler noticed in the last issue
Of the Newberry papers that one
candidate for mayor was already an
nounced. I suppose there will be
somebody else in the race, because l
have lived in Newberry a long time
and 1 never yet saw any Offices around
here offered to people on silver plat
ters. There must be great fascina-
ton in holding office and in serving
the dear people. But what I had
started to say in connection with the
mayors race was that [ would like
to hear from the candidates as to
their positions on municipal improve
mentS. And this applies to the candi-
dates for aldermen from the various
wards, as we'll as to the candidates
for mayor.
Let's hear from you, gentlemen, as
you get into the race. If you are elect
ed will you try to keep down the
weeds on the sidewalks with a bare
smattering Of a street force? Or will
you purchase some geese? Or will
you bring in a herd Of Angora goats?
Or will you be willing to risk spending
little money on the streets, even If
some fellow who never paid any taxes,
anyway, and never had anything to
pay taxes on, and never will, raises
howl as long and as loud and as shrill
as some Of the uneartnly noises that
come from the various gatherings Of
eats in certain sections Of the city
every night?
And how about that wagon yard :?
Now, let's not all talk at once, be-
cause too many people talking at one
time always creates confusion, and
that sometimes, as 7 have heard it
said. gets worse confounded. But let :
hear from you.
