QUICK, BUT NOT SOON.
Loving Pair Find Fourteen Clergy

From Ithaca.

New York Herald.
Ithaca, N. Y, Aug. 18.-General
Hutchinson, of Tennessee, may think
thirty minutes is long enough to win
a wife.
But
II took seven hours today for Hen
ry Quick, of Elmira, and Miss May
Darling, of this city, his fancee, to
find anybody with authority to make
their two hearts beat as one.
Starting at noon, Quick and Miss
Darling visited, one after another,
the homes Of seven clergymen here.
Every one was out of town.
"Quick, darling,'' suggested the
bride-to-be, then
Eyes, May, darling,' answered
her sweetheart.
They went in turn to the homes Of
the other seven clergvmen who upllft
Ithaca, every man Of them was away.
"Quick, darling," sighed the maid.

assured her.
They hurried to the Offices and
houses of the only two Justices Of the
Peace. and found neither. Just as the
sun was setting, Quick and Miss Dar-
ling learned that the Rev. E. NJ. Sa-
bin, a retired clergyman, was visit
ing friends in suburb.
"Quick, darling!"
"At last, darling.'
They jumped into a cab; they

speedily become so great that all
banking and mercantile business
would be independent Of outside help.
We may we'll view with ''arm gen
eral bond issues as are now proposed
in Newberry and Spartanburg coun-
ties for it plays into the hands of the
Rockefeller money system, and would
strengthen the power it holds over
our cotton crop. John D. Rockefeller
is the father Of trusts. The trust mag
mates now control this country by
the power of money.
1t is not in South Carolina that
100000 Of 4 1-2 per cent. bonds can
be sold at par. 1t would be very
profitable for the Standard oil banks
to take such bonds, for based upon
the taxing power Of the State they
would be the highest class of securl-
ty. And payment could be made
with their notes, if necessary, which
cost the banks practically nothing.
We may be assured if negotiated such
bonds would find lodguen there. If
every county in the State should tahe
the bond fever, and average an issue
Of 100000 this State would pay an
nually about $3.50 into the Golfers
Of the trusts. If the Southern States
should follow on the same lines the
amount would be enormous. Apparent
ly cheap money may be alluring. But
we should not forget the panic of
1907, or doubt its recurrence. Sud-
den ccntractions Of the currency can
be so applied as to send down the
price Of cotton to any point these
magnates decree. Yet interest on the
bonds must be paid. [ am not willing
! to contribute to the power OF the
trusts to absorb the vitality of the
South. I consider our own resources
sufficient to establish and maintain
good roads, and it will be done when
the people are determined to have
them. A proper system with sutfi-
cient money and labor are necessary.
As to the money I regard it as far
more economical and beneficial to the
county to have a sufficient direct tax
so that every dollar applied will re-
main in local circulation to the bene-
fit of our own people, and not find
its way to the treasury Of the trusts.

ent law. (.
The people should remember that II
they vote these bonds it doesn't at
feet the road law as it is now writ
ten. The people should also remember
that practically the bond issue, II
carried, will increase taxation but
one mill. for if bonds are not issued
there will be one mill levied this fall
for road purposes, which will not be
~levied if the bonds are voted.
Let it be stated again, so that no
man may misunderstood, that this
movement is not for automobiles,
bank schemes, graft, or any other un-
worthy consideration, but that it looks
to the development of this county.
This is a good county, but it is sadly
in need of roads. For forty or more
years the people have tried the pres
ent system, and their roads today are
in miserable condition. Legislators
! may make laws; they may agitate
the subject Of roads; they may talk
eloquently upon it; but until they
provide or the people provide directly
sufficient sum Of money to put the
roads of the county in first class con-
dition, no system of communication tax
or working the roads any number OF
days in the year will ever be able to
give US such roads as we need and
ought to have. When once the roads
have been laid out, the hills Stunned,
, bitches properly made and the road
bed surfaced, then communication tax
such as we have, or road working sys-
tenn such as we have, can accomplish
something. But until this permanent
work is done any money spent upon
the roads 's absolutely wasted, and
is the most extravagant system any
people can employ.

Three More Lives Lost.

Indianapolis, Ind, Aug. 21.-Three
more lives were sacrificed today in
the mad speed carnival which has in
augurated the great Indianapolis
motor speedway. One mechanician
and two spectators paid the penalty
Of their lives to satisfy the extreme
desire for speed. The fatal accident
came when a National car driven by
Charles Merz in the 3OO-mile race,
lost tire and crashed through a.
fence into a group of spectators,
spreading death and destruction in the
wake of its wild plunge.
The dead: Claude Kellum, Of In
dianapolis, mechanician in the Ma
tional car; Ora toilette, Trafalgar,
Ind, an unidentified man.
Besides ohe three deaths, two serious
injuries resulted during the day. Hen
ry Iapking Of indianapolis was Sc
rlously injured in the fatal wreck
sustaining compound fracture of his
right arm, broken nose and several
scalp wounds. Bruce Keene, the
driver of Marmon car in the same
race, crashed into a post shortly after
the National wreck and was badly
cut about the neck and head.
Seven Last Week. !
The three deaths today raises the
toll Of the speedway to seven lives
this week. William Bourque and his
mechanician, Harry Holcombe, of the
Knox racing team were killed in an
accident in the 25O-mile race Thurs
day. Cliff Literal, a Stoddard-Day-
ton mechanician, was killed by being
ait by big racing machine while on
the way out to the speedway. On
Thursday Elmer Champion, a 6-year-
old boy, was killed by Ne automobile
of Dr.. Clark E. Day of this city
while the latter was on his way to the
speedway for the first days races.

But Wants Direct Tax for
Roads.

Editor Herald and News:

Editor Herald ana news:
AS my opposition to tne bond issue
has created some surprise, doubtless
from the fact that my name appears
on the Commission, I will define my
position lest an inaccurate construc-
ton may place me in opposition to
good roads. No one can value good
roads more than I do. I consider good
roads an index Of civilization, and am
ready to admit that Newberry county
does not occupy her proper place IN
this respect. I commend the progress
i've work Of those who have brought
on this agitation and while unalter-
ably opposed to a bond issue in New
berry, as I would be opposed to it IN
any county, I hope their efforts may
convince the people Of the advantages
of good roads, to the extent that our
energies can be harmonized upon a
plan that will secure them. The Act
under which the election is to be held
provides for an issue of 100000 Of
bonds, to be sold in blocks Of $4,000
bearing 4 1-2 per cent. interest. One
half to be retired in 80 years, the bal
ance in 40 wears. Whether Or, not the
bonds can be foated at par is doubt
full. bat I do not think it necessary
to consider this phase Of the sub
iect. Assuming that it can be done,
We would lave approximately the

Swamp Land Drainage.

Extended mention was made in
this department some weeks since
of the gigantic drainage districts be-
ing organized in the delta section of
the state under the provisions of
laws passed by the last legislature.
While this work is being prosecuted
on very large scale in that section,
it is not confined to the delta by any
means. In almost every county
where there is land subject to over
flow and otherwise in the need of
drainage, districts are being formed,
bonds issued and the work started.
The Homochitto district of Pike
county has completed its first years
work and is arranging for the next.
1t transpired at the meeting Of com
missioners that every piece OF land
in the district has been paid on by
the owner and that 1t was not nee
essary to invoke the aid of the law
in single instance. The people are
appreciative Of the advantages and
necessary for improvements.
Other districts are in process of
formation and 1t Is safe to predict
that Mississippi will have thousands
of acres, possibly millions, of the
richest lands in the world brought
into cultivation within the next few
years. And it all tends to q realiza-

What is known as the Hattiesburg
Idea has taken hold strongly, the
plan to induce owners of splendid
acres of cut-over timber lands in
Pike county to sell portion of them
in good localities at a nominal price
to bona fide white settlers in order
to aid in the immigration movement.
The increase In value of the residue
will be more than enough to offset

around her for building up an enor-

that all that is needed to bring the
