ALL RIGHT, WE'LL COME.

Speaking of the suggestion Of The
Herald and News that meeting OF
representatives from the organized
bodies Of the various towns along the
line of the Atlantic Coast Line from
Greenville to Columbia hold a meet
ing in Greenville the Greenville News
says:
"Come along to Greenville and let
hold a hearing.
"The proposal meets with our hearty
approval. The Greenville News in
behalf Of the people Of this communl-
ty is pleased to issue a call to the va
rious commercial bodies interested to
send representatives to Greenville to
attend meeting at some date to be
decided later for the purpose Of con
sidering and threshing out the ques-
tion and Importance Of improved pas
senger facilities between Charleston
and this city. We will at once take
the matter up with our Board of
Trade and ask their cooperation in
the matter Of arranging a suitable
date for holding the meeting and for
issuing invitations to it,
Combined with this meeting We
should also have representatives along
the line of the Southern from Colum-
ba to Greenville to take up at the
same time the matter of a through
train On that line from Columbia to
Greenville.

FOR BETTER RAILWAY SERVICE

Following up the remarks OF the
Index last week on the good sugges-
ton Of the Anderson Daily Mail that
that extra train be put back on the
Columbia and Greenville division, it
seems that the suggestion has struck
number of papers as being the right
thing at the right time.
Not only has this particular sug-
gestion been taken up, but others. For
instance, the mattes of chair car on
the Atlantic Coast Line between
Greenville and Charleston and other
things.
The Newberry Herald and News
asks the Greenville News to call a
meeting to consider all Of these pro-
jects and others too at an early date
in Greenville, and the News is per-
fectly willing; it is enthusiastic on the
whole subject.
Looking back few weeks, The In
dex is reminded Of a facetlous sug-
gestion of its own that the old South
Carolina Traffic association hold a re-
union. At the time, the suggestion was
made simply because there were so
many other "reunions'' OF "survlv-
3rs'' being held or being advertised to
be held over the State If, however,
there is work for the association to
do. why let President Parker get busy
and let the Secretary dig up some Of
the old stationery and go to work.

Talking about good roads the city
of Newberry has no cause to talk
about the country roads until some
thing is done to give US better streets.
And We just as we'll make up our
minds that we will never have much
better streets until we quit this patch
work business that has been going on
for years. With the present force we
can not do better than get around
and fill holes after each rain and the
weeds can not be kept down as fast
as they grow. The continued rainy
season has not given US an opportun-
ity to keep the bitches filed and the
weeds down. We need to do some
permanent work and We need more
hands and then we can have some
streets.

We hear Of several roads being
worked and put in good condition
that have had very little attention for
several years. If the agitation for
roads has done nothing else it has
been worth all it cost. A good dirt
road is better in many respects than
a macadam. Let all the overseers call
out the hands and give each road six
days intelligent work and we will
have some pretty good roads.

THE IDLER.
* * ss * X - i

Mr.. Idler:-You speak of certain
family Of this city donating a piece
of land for the purpose Of park.
The days Of such donation, by South
ern people, are in most cases past,
for they do not feel themselves able
to make such gifts for the public
veal, however patriotic they may be.
We must look elsewhere. Just east
of the old Jones house is pretty
plot Of ground, eleven lots, think,
that would make an ideal little park.
On it is a beautiful oak grove, III
front, with enough open land in rear
to plant roses and ornamental shrubs,
just rolling enough to add beauty to
the scene. This plot Of land, l be-
lieve, belongs to a wealthy Northern
man, and d great many OF these
Northern men, with money, like to
leave undying testimonials to their
generosity. l believe if the ladies OF
the Civic League would make the
same proposition, that was suggested
in the other case, that is, naming the
park after the donor, this Northern
man might give it outright, or else
sell at so low price that the money
could be raised easily by popular sub
scription. Or how would it do, for the
city, to make the same proposition
that the State did, in the matter Of
the Woman's Monument? Lands all
around the city are rapidly being ta-
ken up for dwelling purposes, and
there will soon be none available ex-
cept at a great cost. The lovlands
will not do for a park, the overflow
Of the stream, the boggy, mirey ma
ture of the soil during the rainy sea-
sons, will render it unavailable for
pleasure grounds. The plot I speak OF
is on our main thoroughfare and will
be right on our front street-car line.
Make try for it, ladies Of the Civic
League, and We all will help.
Dad.
