COUNTY TO COUNTY.

The Herald and News is pleased to
note that the Columbia Record has
Joined it in the movement first pro-
posed by The Herald and News, for
an intra-state county-to-county high
way. The Record says:
The Newberry Herald and News
asks: "Even if the national high
way is to 60 via Augusta would not
our friends in Columbia like to have
a road branching out from that point
via Newberry, Greenwood and Able
vile and another via Laurens to
Greenville from Newberry." We
think we can safely say "yes' for
Columbia. The capital city is indeed
anxious to have good highways lead
ing out in all directions and is anx-
ious to have good highways in all por-
tions Of the State, whether they reach
Columbia directly or not.
The Herald and News, answering
its own query, then says: "Why not
try to help us build some roads in this
section, instead of constantly remind
ing us that the national highway is
via Augusta. -

Il, like greso English mast:!T that
condescends to let baby Bobby climb
upon it's back for ride around the
lawn. If the mastiff chose, it could
chew baby Bobby into bits in the
twinkling Of an eye: and if Guido
Reni's Satan chose, he could do the
same with the Archangel. AS l look
ed at the picture I wondered how this
effeminate painter had managed to
paint such a fine, husky Devil, and l
did not understand until I learned
that he happened to be quarrehng
with Pope Innocent K at the epoch
when he was working on this canvas,
and that the Satan is a portrait of
the Pope, piece Of spite-work that
made the artist forget his mannerlsm
long enough to be strong and realls-
tic.
I don't intend to essay any more
amateurish comments on art, and
maybe l shouldn't have written this,
but there are so many poor pictures
in Rome that we go to see and try to
admire simply because the guide
books tell US we ought to, that it has
done me good to have my say about
this one
Thursday-Today made the ac-
quaintance of the Dying Saul render
ed so famous by Bryon's lines telling
how he was "butchered to make
Roman holiday and afterward saw
the bronze Wolf Of the capitol, 1.-THE
thunder-stricken nurse of Rome"
which every sci hoolboy has read about
in Cicero. In an adjoining corridor
of the Capitoline picture gallery, I
stopped long to look at Michelange-
los portrait by himself, one Of the
few things he ever did in oil: the sad
light in the eyes and the bitterly un-
happy expression Of the whole visage
was so depressing that it recalled to
me my own troubles, I am
wondering where that long e1-
pected check can be. Three
thousand miles from home and friends
with exactly 47 cents and half jar
of honey as my sole available wealth.
Friday-The whole world looks
bright and rose colored, like the sky
behind St. Peters dome, seen at sun
set from the Pincio. Yesterday l
went "stone broke" lacked even the
two cents to get a cup Of coffee. My
little Roman mother, Signora K came
to the rescue with a loan of 20. lire.
This morning I got the check from
America, accompanied by the good
news that two or three more newspa-
pers in "the States' have contract
ed to print my stuff regularly, which
means that my financial worries in
Europe are ended.

"RUNN1NG THE GAUNTLET. "

Col: Dickert will begin in an early
issue of The Herald and News his
story, Running the Gauntlet,' the
most exciting and thrilling of all his
war "reminiscences. He. deals with the
feat Of bringing out his entire COM
pany an dothers, to the number OF
about one hundred men, from the
army just priro to Gen. Johnston :
surrender. With their guns and ae-
coutrements. they march west through
the centre of North Carolina, then
south into this State, avoiding the
Federal pickets posted at all river
CROSSINGS to overhaul soldiers without
paroles.
It has been said that Gen. Gary Was
the only officer who brought out his
command without a surrender. This
was cavalry. Col. Dickert is the only
infantry officer, so far as is now
known, what accomplished the same
feath. Neither he nor any of his
men surrendered.
The story is full Of life and excite
ment, from start to finish, and reads
like romance Of dd, or the
daring escapades Of Marion and Sum-
ter in the closing years Of the Revo-
luton. That it is all facts, can be
easily verified by men now living IN
this and adjoining counties, who fol-
lowed him throughout the march.
The story has its moral, showing
what an obscure country boy can ac-
complish, when he has grit and per-
severance to back him.
The story will run through several
issues of the paper. Those whose
subscription is about to expire had
better renew at once, or else lose the
best of all Col. Dickert's war stories.
Subscription for two months, 25 cents,
coin or stamps.

local committee ii Greenville III REL
erence to the forthcoming convention
which meets in that city ON July 6-6,
says that the indications for a we'll
attended and very interesting meet
ing of the association are very encour-
aging.
In speaking further Of this meeting
he said: "The citizens of Greenville
are taking very great interest in pro-
viding pleasant entertainment and
most cordial reception for the mem
bers. The headquarters Of the mem
bers Of the association will be at the
new Ottaray hotel, one Of the most
magnificent and best appointed hotels
anywhere in this section of the coun-
try.
. THE first session Of the association
will be held on Tuesday evening and
will consist Of addresses Of welcome
by Mayor Mahon, Mr.. Capers for the
board Of trade, Mr.. Arnold for the
Business Mems association, and Mr..
McGhee for the local press.
"After these formal exercises there
will be reception in the parlors OF
the hotel, so that the members may
become acquainted with one another
and with the people Of Greenville. 1t
is important that all Of the members
reach Greenville Tuesday evening. Ar
rangements are being made to take
the association on a visit to Clemson
college during Wednesday. 1t is de-
sired to arrange for special train to
leave Greenville at 1:3O p. m. and
return in the afternoon to Green
vile about 7:30. It is possible, how
ever, that We may not be able to OBJ
Gain a special train and if not the trip
will have to be made on the regular
train which leaves Greenville at II 80
a. m. In that event those members
who do not reach Greenville on Tues
day evening would not be able to get
there in time to take the trip to Glenn
son. I find there are great many
members of the association who have
never been to Clemson, and I am sure
none will care to miss this trip.
arrangements have been made
with the railroads in this State to
furnish transportation in exchange
for advertising for those editors who
have no transportation in order to at
tend the meeting in Greenville. If
any members desire additional trans
portation I would be pleased to have
them notify me at once so that It may
be secured in time.
II have already given notice Of the
side trip which is proposed to Tallu-
lah Falls but so far have heard from
very few who indicate a purpose to
take this trip. The railroad and ho-
tel people would like to know as early
as possible if the trip is to be taken.
Those who have not indicated their
purpose to take this trip, but who de-
sire to do so will please let me hear
frcm them as early as they possibly
can. T think this will be very de-
1ightful trip and can be taken at very
small cost. The scenery in and around
Tallulah Falls is said to be the finest
in this section of the country, and in
fact Tallulah Falls is known as the
Niagara Of the South"

But The Herald and News makes a
suggestion, which is exceedingly ap-
propriate. It has been already SER
iouslv considered and will before long
be actively taken up. The Herald
and News says:
"We would like to see Columbia in
augurate a movement to build good
highway from the capital to each
county capital in the State. Why not
start such moveemnt? It would be
worth more to Columbia than a ma
tional highway. If you get the road
built to the Newberry line we will
start a movement which will build
it to Newberry and we will help to
send it on to Laurens and Greenwood.
It would take very little money and
work, comparatively speaking. 1t is
just forty-three miles by this road
from Newberry to Columbia. We are
now building seven of these miles be-
tween Newberry and Prosperity. For
three miles out Of Columbia the road
could not be improved. For seven or
eight miles this side Of the river the
road needs but little work. The
building Of twenty miles Of road
would give a first class road for au-
tomobiles between here and Colum-
bia and the material is there along the
roadside. If built for automobiles 1t
would be good for buggies and wag-
ons Also
All Of this is true and timely. Cam
dens Orangeburg, and Barnwell, as
we'll as Lexington and Aiken, are just
as anxious as is Newberry to have
this plan carried out, and Sumter and
Winnsboro will also come into it, no
doubt.
While Columbia is working for the
Capital Highway, from State to State,
she will not forget to work for the
county-to-county intra-state highway
"a road running out from the State s
capital, like the spokes of a wheel,
wide enough and smooth enough and
solid enough for all sorts Of vehicles.

AUToMoBILEsAN ROADS

AUTOMOBILES AND GOOD ROADS
Let us consider good roads from
the standpoint Of their value to the
farmer. They save him time, de-
crease wear and tear, increase the
drawing capacity Of his team and
the carrying capacity Of his vehicle;
enhance e value Of his lands and
add incomparably to the comfort OF
country living and the advantage OF
city marketing. In this connection
let us place credit where 1t IS due.
Automobiles are doing more to pro-
mote good roads building IN the
South than all other agencies COM
bined. And be it not forgotten that
GOOD roads are Of greater value to
the farmer than to any other class OF
people. Farmers used to consider
automobiles their most vicious enc
mics, but they are now changing
their minds and regarding them as a
blessing in disguise. Don't lose sight
of this one fact-the automobile has
come to stay, and with it comes good
roads.-Greenville News.
The Greenville News is correct.
The automobile has come to stay. We
are glad to know that the farmer IS
ridding himself very rapidly OF any
prejudice he may have had against
the automobile. Now or then a horse
or mule becomes. frightened, but
where the automobile is used the
horses soon become accustomed TO 1t.
We believe that the use Of the au-
tomobile is going to be very lmpor-
tant factor in stimulating an inter-
est in road building. It is almost a
waste of time and energy to write OF
the Importance of good roads. Every
body admits the value Of good high
ways and the saving in time and the
decrease in wear of stock and vehl-
cles.
The question is to get the means
with which to build the roads. We
have long contended that if a move
ment could be started in any county,
and a few miles of permanent road
built, that it would not be long be-
fore the work would be extended to
all parts of the county. We want
good roads, but we are afraid to go
into an expenditure Of money for
them unless We are satisfied that the
road is going by our own gate.
In Newberry county, for instance,
if we build 200 miles Of good macad-
am sand and clay roads we would put
a GOOD road in very short distance
Of every farm home in the county.
Of course it is not practical for every
mile of the public highways in this
county to be made into macadam
sand and clay roads, but even were
such roads diagonally across the eoun-
ty it would be Of great benefit to
every citizen of the county, and would
more than repay him directly IN dol
lars and cents for the cost of build
ing these roads, whether they passed
Immediately by his gate OF not.
There is no doubt that the sentl-
ment in favor Of building roads Is
growing very rapidly, and it will not
be many years until we have great
Improvement in the highways OF this
county and State, and we must give
q good deal Of credit to the automo-
bile for the creating and extending OF
this sentiment for better roads.

one tourist route. There should be
a local tourist route from Charleston
to Greenville or to Spartanburg, pass
ing through Columbia and Newberry.
But the Northern automobile tour
lists will travel to Florida, rather than
to Atlanta. and therefore they Will go
from Columbia either to Augusta or
Savannah, perhaps to both, the road
between Columbia and Augusta at
present being the best. 1t IS only
because Columbians interested in this

smiled calmly on.
Wednesday-In the upper part OF
the Capuehin church of which l was
writing yesterday, hangs one Of the
most celebrated oil paintings in
Rome, a picture, which all the world
comes to see, Guido Reni's St. Mich
ael. I don't know very much about
art, but I have common sense enough
to despise without affectation the
wishy-washy false sentiment of Guido
Reni' 5 work, and [ don't believe ne
ever painted a poorer picture than
the Archangel of the Capuchlnl,
though nowhere in history, mythology
or revelation can be found more
glorious subject. St. Michael with
his flaming sword is the incarnation
Of warlike strength deifed. He is the
Christian Mars, but Mars, who lets
loose the dogs IF war only to battle
for the right, a Mars, whose shield
and helmet are illumined by more
unearthly splandor than ever shown
from Mount Olympus, and arMnd
whose radiant presence are clustered
the wonders of the Apocalypse. And
inst see what GuidO has painted! A
pretty wax-doll face with a rosebud
mouth, and wavy, flaxen wax-doll
hair, a big soft body with beautiful
feminine curves and a pair of rosy
feet with the toes done up in blue
baby ribbon. The vanquished Devil,
upon whose broad, bent shoulders
Saint Michael stands: is obviously
ticking the whole mate. as joke: he
