Friday, April 2, 1909.

The city Of Gafney held an elec-
tion on Wednesday on the question OF
issuing $4,000 of bonds for the pur-
pose Of installing a system of sewer
age in that city.
The vote resulted 366 for the bonds
and against the bonds.
If Newberry votes $40, 900, which of
course she will do, our sewerage sys-
TEN will cost US only about one half
that amount if all of the $4,000 is
expended in the extension of the sys-
tenn.
We have already spent only $4,000
for sewerage. Gafney is not as large
a town as Newberry, and if we can
get complete system Of sewerage
for one half what Gafney will spend
We ought to be satisfied and congra-
tulate ourselves.
We cannot understand how there
can be any opposition to the extern
sion of the sewerage system, and we
do not believe that the opposition will
amount to much and in fact we have
not heard Of any at all.

80. 600 worth Of bonds for the eX-
tension Of the sewerage. Everybody
ought to sign this petition and then
the vote should be unanimous. It IS
a necessity. If something is not done
soon the septic tank will be condemn
ed as a nuisance. Wonder to me the
people who live near it have stood 1t
as long as they have. Then the people
who are not in reach Of sewerage
should have it.
I saw an advertisement the other
day in county paper Of "Water
oround' corn meal for sale. Long
ago T used to hear that meal ground
on a mill run by water was better
than meal ground on a mill whose mo-
tive power was steam, but [ never
thought there was anything in it. /
would like to have some one tell me
what difference there could be in the
meal if the power which turned the
rock was water or steam.
Supervisor Feagle is doing a good
Job on the court house square. Of
course there will be some on to say
that the convicts ought to be on the
roads-that fixing up and beautify-
ing the grounds will not help anything
that court could be held just as we'll
with the grounds Uttered up and in
their muddy condition. Those are the
people who see nothing but the utili-
tartan side Of life.
Well, if he went to one place in
the county some one would say he
ought to be at another, and so it goes.
Every fellow can see no good in any
thing that does not give him some i'm
mediate and direct personal benefit.
Here, comes in again that selfish ten
dency in all of us.
The only thing the supervisor can
do is to go along and do his duty as
he sees it and when he finishes the
work on the court house square it will
take mighty narrow and supremely
selfish and sordid and utilitarian cit
izen not to say that the right thing
has been done.
A member of the legislature a few
years ago who had opposed an ap-
preparation of $4,000 for beautify-
ing the State house grounds but who
was unsuccessful at the next session
when another $4,000 was proposed
to continue the work, said he would
like to know what had been done
with the first $4,000, that he had
looked over the grounds and all he
could see was that they had plowea
little and planted something. I no
tice that on one Of those three BEAU
tiful church lots it looks like they
have plowed little and planted
something. That is right. Plow a
little and plant something and if the
right thing is planted the fruitage
will come by and by. Let some Of tine
other folks who own lots plow a lit
tie and plant something.
Newberry could have as pretty
lawns as any city in this section and
pretty we'll kept lawn adds to the
appearance of the home. A pretty
house with a poorly kept lawn never
looks we'll. Sentiment and flowers
help to make life more pleasant.
