A MESSAGE TO THE FARMERS.
Dr.. Knapp's Address to be Delivered
at Greenville, S. G., on Jan
uary IL.

A great deal Of interest has beea
manifested, editoriany and otherwise
throughout the South, in the coming
tour of Dr.. Seaman A. Knapp, Of
the Department. Of Agriculture in
January, and many inquiries have
been received by him asking what
topics he will discuss on this jour
ney. DR.. Knapp has very kindly
consented to furnish the press, and
through the press the farmers, with
the subjects Of his addresses.
p: At Greenviille, South Carolina,
whereshe will speak on January 18th,
at 1900 O'Clock M, his topic VIII
be "The Making. Of a Great Common
People IN the Rhral DISTRICTS His
object in this address is to impress
upon the farmers Of South Carolina
some definite line of work, which, If
consistently followed, will make
South Carolina with all its natural
resources, a great State in which the
rural masses will be prosperous.
The same general method will be
pursued in the addresses in the sew
eral States,< outlining in each such
policies as are. most important aud
applicable to the rural population.

We have come to depend too much
on the chaingang to keep up the
roads. A little assistance from the
people who live in the country and
who use the roads most, and little
work on their part, would do a great
deal towards giving better roads IN
this county. We have the material
to make sand and clay roads, to make
gravel roads, or to make maeadam
roads. All that is necessary is to get
to work and do it.
The people seem not ready to spend
amy money by taxation for this
purpose, and therefore they should
be willing to utilize their labor and
their teams in keeping ahe public
roads in good condition.
We had thought that when the
one mile Of experiment road, which
was built by the government, had
been used by our people, that 1t
would stimulate an interest in build
ing other roads Of like character
This road, we are told, gets better
the longer it is used, and some OF
the automobilists say that they can
make sixty miles an hour on it with
greater ease and less injury to their
machines than they can make eight
or ten miles an hour on the ordl-
nary road. This Will apply with
equal force to ibuggies and wagons.
It will permit less time in coming
to town also the hauling Of heavier
loads with greater ease to the teams.

It will be recalled that the legis-
lature two years ago appropriated
$4,000 for this purpose, expressly
conditioned upon DR.. johnson rails
ing an additional $4,000. At that
time DR.. Johnson thought that
$4,000 building would be ample.
But he soon drew away from these
modest plans and made up his mind
to give the State of South Carolina
a 100000 model school, the equal
of any in the country In beauty Of
construction and thoroughly equip
ped.
With this purpose in view, he
promptly raised the $4,000 required
BY the Stale legislature. This gave
him $4,000. Then he went to New
York and had an interview with Mr..
J. Pierpont Morgan. and, Andrew
Carnegie, the multi-millionaires. Mr..
Morgan gave $4,000 and Mr.. Car

4 Better Record.

When Peter jenkins returned from

ing lived ten years in Colorado, he
apparently could lot say enough in
praise Of his new home. and IN dis
paragement of his birthplace. His
sentiments we're, as a general thing,
received with the utmost good ma
ture by his old friends, but occasion
ally he met what the Lanesboro peo-
pie called "a eomeuppanee."

In fridays issue of The Herald
and News we had an editorial para
graph in regard to the matter of
free lights and water to the men,
bers Of the board of commissioners
Of public works.
: It will be recalled that the COM
missioners in reply to the resolu-
tions of council said that they re-
ceiyed their water and lights free by
- resolution Of council.
+ The Herald and News simply ask
ed why that resolution was not pub
ished, and also if it was not an un-
derstauddng, at that time that if
council granted free water and
lights to the commissioners Of pub:
lie works, the commissioners in turn
would grant free water and lights
to the members of council. =.
The questions were asked in good
faith and. were not intended to car
~ any insinuations with them, and
We are sorry that the chairman of
the board seems to think that they
do. We have since secured copy Of
of the resolution which was passed
on September 80, 1901, the minutes
stating that the full council was
present. The resolution reads:
ssResolved: That the Commission
ers of Public Works Of the TeWn of
Newberry, be furnished lights. and
water free Sof charge during their
term of Office. = s. .
We repeat our questions, by what
authority of law council authorizes
free water and lights to anybody2
We have no objection to the mem
bers Of the commission receiving free
water and lights, or even receiving
a salary for their services, but We
simply inquire, by what authority
Of law they receive salary and If
this resolution is perpetual and
stands for all time, or whether or
not it referred to the term of Office
of the then commission, or whether
it was during the term Of office Of
the then city council? 49,,

ROADS AND RURAL ROUTES.

We desire to direct the attention.
Of Of the patrons Of the rural free de-
livery. routes, to n article printed
elsewhere in The Herald and News,
from the president Of the Newberry
county association. Z J..
We do not know the conditions OF
the roads ip this county, but we have
felt all the while that, if they were
not kept in good condition and the
matter was brought to the atten-
ton of the Department, that the
possibility existed of having some
of the rural routes discontinued.
The Herald and News has, from
aime to time, called attention. to the
Importance Of keeping the roads ln
better condition, and it is well that
the patrons Of these rural routes
should consider seriously the quo
tations contained in the article OF
the president of the Newberry asso-
citation from the officials at Wash
ington. .-.
We fear sometimes that our peo-
ple do not appreciate the advantages
Of good roads. There has been moth
ing undertaken by the federal gov
eminent since the founding Of the
republic, that is Of 50 great import
anee and value to the people VINO
