For instance. if 6 man walks with heavy lift to his hips he's sure to be obstinate If he sinks down little on his heels be has a comfortable attitude toward life and the world in general-in fact. he's bit lazy. That woman coming down the street now is a gossip Any one could tell that because of her mlncing. fussy gait. Indecision is the chief character istic of that woman's character across the street. Don't you see how she swings her foot rather hesitntingly in the air before she puts 1t down?

To begin sighting along the barrel

SPECIAL AGENT HERE.
Mr.. R. E. Tom Government Expert
Here to Build Experiment Road
Will Begin Work This Week.

Mr.. r. E. Tom, special agent OF
the government arrived in Newberry
on Saturday.
He is here under invitation from
the county officials to supervise and
superintend the building Of one mile
sof experimental road.
It was stated in The Herald and
News some time ago that this exper-
mental road would be built and it
was generally understood that the
experiment would be made with a
clay and sand road and one Of the
best roads with which to experiment
and one Of the roads which is used
probably more than any other road
is the one between Newberry and
Prosperity.
The experiment will, therefore,
probably be made beginning on the
west side of Mr.. John C. Neel's resi-
dence where the road from Newberry
comes into the old Prosperity road,
and will probably be completed as tar
down as Colony church.
Yesterday morning through the
courtesy of the Forde Morton Co.,
Mr.. Tom, Supervisor Feagle, and
Prof. Sigh were taken out to examine
the clay and sand on this road. Mr..
Tom says the material is as fine as
any he has ever seen and there Is no
reason why he cannot make model
road, and he says that with the force
of convicts now on the chain gang,
he can complete this section within
a month. Work will begin some time
during this week.
The Herald and News hopes that
when this work is completed and the
people see what is meant by good
road and realize that we have III this
county the very best material tor
road building that the work will not
stop with this experiment but that
the chain gang will be kept on per-
manent road work and stop going
about over the county filing up ditch
es and repairing bridges.

AS TO CHINK CALMES.
An Explanation From Dow, Jr. In
Regard to the Old Confederate
Soldier.

Editor The Herald and News: An
article in your last weeks paper,
from "Friend of Chink Gaines
requesting some explanations from
Dow, Jr., in answer to which Dow has
only this to say: Hearing conver-
sation between Mr.. Mel Chalmers and
Col. Schumpert as to the immediate
removal Of the old soldier from the
plantation of large real estate own
er, Dow expressed himself pretty
freely and gave notice that he would
publish the whole matter.
If the story was true, the people
should know it, and if false, the party
interested, could have an opportunl-
tv to correct the same. Dow may pos
Siblv have misunderstood Mr.. Chal-
mers or the latter had a mlsconcep-
ton of the wishes of the "large land
holder,'' l do not think that the land
owner, Mr.. George Summer, intended
any harshness to the old soldier, or
to unnecessarily disturb him; that
he only gave timely notice to him to
provide himself with a more suitable
place, in case Of a lingering illness.
Mr.. Summer says he did not require
an immediate removal, nor did he
make his removal a condition on
which Nh. Suber could keep his JOB,
furthermore, he offered to pay five
dollars a month toward paying
"Chinks' board. We have no rea-
son to doubt these statements OF Mr..
Summer, and Dow for one, is charlta-
Bile enough to say there was a mlsun-
derstanding all around.
As to Mr.. John NJ. Kinard's visit
to Col. Dickert, Dow supposes that 1t
was to offer an explanation Or show
the misunderstanding to that gentle
man, as an officer in the Camp OF Con-
federate Veterans and friend to all
soldiers. 1t was possibly satisfactory,
for nothing more was heard Of the
matter, until the article from
"Friend Of Chink Gaines"
The old soldier now has a good
home, and he nor any Of the other old
veterans, will be here very much long
er to be in the way or to disturb the
pursuit Of this generation.

A CHECKERED CAREER.
Noah Taylor Again Sent to the State
Hospital for the Insane in Co.
lumbia.

Another step was ia ken in the
c!.1rkered career Of Noah Taylor on
Friday. when he was carried by Sher-
if Buford to Columbia and again
placed in the State Hospital for the
Insane.
Noah Taylor was convicted of the
murder of his wife in this county, and
in 1900 he began the service of a
life sentence in the State Peniten-
tiary. After remaining in the penl-
tentiary several years he was pardon
ed by Governor Hayward, and came
back to Newberry county.
Some time after his return his mind
became wrong, and he was adjudged
insane and sent to the asylum in Co.
lumbia. His case yielded to treat
ment, and after spending some time
in the asylum he was released by the
physicians there. He came back to
Newberry, and after living in the
county awhile he married again. He
and his wife, however, for some
cause, separated.
Taylor was living with his father
in No. s township up until he was
carried to Columbia on Friday.
