MR.. JONES' SUGGESTION.

We desire to direct especial atten,
ton to the communication Of Mr.. A
C. Jones.
That Newberv should have a Y
NJ. C. 4. we do not think anyone
would question. We hope that the
pastors of the churches in the city
will take hold Of the suggestion made
BY Mr.. Jones and push the matter
vigorously. We believe if they will
60 at it with earnestness there can
be no doubt Of success.
Whether or not it will be wise to
use the old court house as a building
is a matter that should have serious
consideration. The Herald and News
advocated retaining the old court
house with the view of having it used
as a rest room for the ladies of the
country. 1t might be we'll for the
Christian Association to have charge
Of it and provide these rooms. In
order to carry out the idea Of rest
rooms it is necessary that some Or
ganization occupy the building and
take care Of it so that it might be
used properly for this purpose. If the
building is to be used as at present
We are most heartily in favor Of hav-
ling it torn down.
The library idea might be added to
the Y. NJ. C. A. organization and the
building is amply large for all of
these purposes. The upper story could
be fitted up for an auditorium for the
public meetings. and there are plenty
! of rooms down stairs for the library
rest room for the ladies and Offices
for the Y. NJ. C. A. All these matters
can be discussed and acted upon if
the pastors will adopt the suggestions
of Mr.. Jones and take the lead in the
matter Of organizing Young Men :
Christian Association. The suggestion
is worthy Of serious consideration.

THE ROADS COMMISSION.

Some time ago the good roads
league stated in the column used for
exploiting the question Of good roads
that Mr.. W. K. Sigh and the editor
Of The Herald and News had selected
the commission named in the act au-
thorizing an election and providing
for the making Of permanent roads.
That is correct, and the men were Sc
Iected on account Of their business
capacity and financial standing and
their character and without any ref
erence to politics or bank connection.
These questions Of banks and politics
and locality should have nothing to do
with the merits Of the question. Are
the men on the commission honest and
worthy Of confidence and will they
administer the trust faithfully? We
think they measure up to that stand
ard and therefore they were selected.
We do not mean to say there are not
hundreds of other men Of like ability
in this county, but if others had been
chosen, somebody would have raised
similar objections that do not bear
on the subject. We want to say that
not one Of the men on the commission
wanted to serve, and we had to insist
on their letting us use their names.
They have plenty to do in matters per-
tanning to their own affairs. and are
sot seeking any Of these positions.
We regret that these questions we're
brought into the discussion.
Let the issue be joined, on its mer-
its, and if the people do not want to
build roads let them say so.
Suppose one bank should hold all
the money, what difference would it
make to the people, so that it was
properly cared for and spent for
roads? That bank must pay five per
cent. and any first class bank, like all
of the banks Of Newberry, can borrow
money for less than that rate.
: Besides, the act prohibits one
bank having all the money and sew
eral banks are, represented on the
commission.
We doubt if any one bank in New
berry would want the whole sum at
five per cent. when they can get
money in sums Of this size for less
elsewhere.

The decision Of the Supreme Court
in the matter Of offices in the court
house in dispute leaves it entirely
with the board Of county commits
sioners.
The board will meet on the 3lst
of July and unless there are further
legal proceedings will determine the
matter finally. If they hold to their
former decision. Of course, the auditor
will move to the little Office IN the
rear and the probate judge will be
moved into the office now occupied by
the auditor.
It is very unfortunate that this
matter could not have been finally de-
cided before the metal furniture was
placed in these two Offices Or that 1t
should become necessary for the pres
ent board of county commissioners to
reverse the decision Of the court
house commission and the beard of
county commissioners who had pre-
viously assigned the Offices and ar
ranged the metal furniture.
The metal furniture in the AUDITORS
Office as now used by him will not be
suitable for the use Of the probate
Judge. and neither will the metal
furniture in the little office which was
arranged for the probate judge be at
all suitable for the auditor, and 1t will
necessitate the expenditure OF consld-
cradle money in reftting these two
Offices and then the next board OF
commissioners may come along and
order another change which will ne
eessitate an additional expenditure
Of money. And as we understand the
financial condition Of the county we
have very little money to throw at
the birds.

THE FARMER AND THE PHONE

The telephone is one of the most
potential agencies Of modern civlllza-
ton in existence. It has eliminated
the factor Of distance, removed diff
culties once deemed insoluble, ana
brought our people together into one
great family. 1t would require an ar
ticle of great length to set forth the
blessings attributable to the tele-
phone. The News, in it's second Sec
ton to-day carries an elaborate story,
setting forth the plan of having farm
houses equipped with telephones,
thereby bringing the city and sur
rounding country into close commu-
nication.
The telephone puts the farmer IN
touch with the world almost as much
as if he lived in the city, and yet at
the same time allows him to breathe
the fresh air Of the woods and to en-
ioy that free life Of the farm, where
he NAV be enchanted with orchestras
in the tree tops, and enjoy sermons
in stones, books in running brooks
and good in everything. The News IS
glad to recommend the rural 'phone,
and it hopes the proposed farmers
rally in the interest Of this movement,
and which the Greater Charlotte Club
and the Merchants Association en-
dorse. will result in large increase
Of farmers phones.
In 1900, according to the United
States census the population of Meek
lenbure county was 55,26S. The m
crease for nine Years which nearly
make up another decade IS estimated
to be 1885. The percentage OF m
crease is 29.5.
The population Of the cities and
towns Of the county was given BY the
1900 census as follows:
Charlotte. 1901: Davidson. 904;
Matthews, 37S: MirF Hill, 1872; Pine
Vile, 585, a total Of 20,l5O.
In the county, outside the towns,
the population was put at 35,ll9.
Assuming that in this number OF
country people there are five members
TO each family. which we believe IS
the accepted average. there were T.

Interesting story by Col. Dlcker; and
reciles the incidents Of the return Of
his company from the army. The
party was composed not only of the
members Of his company but Of others
who desired to join, including about
100 men.
Col. Dickert, as he states. could not
get his consent to surrender. and
when it was announced that the
Southern army would surrender he
and the men who joined him decided
to take the chances Of returnin home
with their arms and without srrren-
derin to the enemy. It was perllous
undertaking and the ystarted on il
with full appreciation of what il
meant.
. Col. Dickert in his usual forciblt
stvle relates the incidents and ex
perienceS Of his company on its re

will be read with great interest, no
only by the few who survive, but by
all Of our people.

phone aarloItc

Elsewhere IN The Herald and News
to-day we present statement OF facts
showing the remarkable increase in
the number Of phones in Newberry
county during the past year. As IS
stated in the article in our local col
umns, the telephone is one Of the three
things which have contributed most
to the development of the South dur
inc the past few years. Not only is
the telephone an important asset IN
business. but it is great educator,
because it keeps people in touch one
with another. And it is, as we'll, a
better protection for isolated coun-
try homes than anything else yet de-
vised.
Newberry county cannot have toe
many telephones. Every station which
is installed is a step in the progres:
E,of the county.

THE IDLER.

I wonder sometimes if anybody
reads what The Idler has to say in
this column, and if they do read it if
they are in the least helped. Now this
thought does not come from any de-
gree of Importance which I attach to
anything I say, but you know some
times I wonder to myself if it is
worth while. I am too old now to be
worried about what anybody thinks
of me. It makes absolutely no sort Of
difference to me. I am trying to say
things that are helpful and that carry
no sting.
