Tuesday, April 26, 1910.

The total number of pensioners in
this State is 1854 and the total num-
Der last year was 9,537, showing an
increase of seventeen over last year
The total amount appropriated fol
pensions was s25O,O0O, but it seems
that there was a small balance left
over from last year and the sum
appropriated this year is s251,166.
The county receiving the largest
amount from the appropriation is
Spartanburg, $20,100, and the next
largest is Anderson, S14,8e8, and
Greenville, s14,444 The amour:
levied for pensions is about one mill.
This levy would bring in from New
berry county about $70NO, therefor q
Newberry is contributing about ST.
500 to the passion 't: rem other
counties.
We have long been of the opinion
that the most equitable way in which
to handle the pension matter, mas
much as it is left largely to local
boards to determine who are entitled
to pensions, would be to levy the
one mill tax for pensions and let it
be collected and distributed similar
to the three-mills tax for schools.
That is to say what is collected in
each county be levied in that coun-
county.

merce held the other night talking
about dreams and dreamers and
how he had had dream about
roads. That reminds me to quote
from Frank Stanton's "Just from
Georgia." the "Words of Br'er vii
liams'': "Dar's only one way tel
make yo' dreams come true, an dat
is ter rise up at break o. day an
work yo' dreams out.'' That is
about the only way to realize the
dream Of good roads, "to rise up at
break o. day an work yo' dreams
out" and this same dreamer said,
so T am told, that the road from
Newbery to Kinards could be put
in fine condition for $500. Now
if twenty automobile owners would
give $25 each the thing is done and
you will not have to wait on the
supervisor to buy plow and you
have made a paying investment.
You know they say the supervi-
sor promised to put this road in
good condition but that now he is
waiting on a plow he ordered. I
was wondering what sort Of plow
that is to be. It seems to me that
the Newberry Hardware Co. or VIM.
Johnson could have supplied almost
any sort Of plow, or certainly one
big enough for the mules and the
road. But I reckon the plow is here
for I am told the supervisor has
made another promise to start on this
road. It may be that he will have
to order mule to pull the plow.
The same Br'er Williams quoted
above says: II once heard a man
prayin' for a crust Of bread, an
W 'en he got it he up an told Prov
idence it was too tough ter chaw
on" See?

it torn down and the grounds

Why not keep cleaned up all the

New Pledge For Revision

New York, Aug. President
Taft, in a letter to Representative
Mckinley, chairman Of the Republi

public at the local headquarters of the
committee, pleads for harmony and
steers fair and wide Of any new pledge
to revise the tariff.
In his letter the president defends
the tariff, quotes from his memoran-

says that when the experts, who are
to examine schedules with view to
determining the cost of production at
home and abroad, report that there is
anything wrong with the tariff or any
schedule he will call it to the atten-
ton of congress.
The president deals, with the worF

ferences within the party were mani.
tested and yet never III it's histor!
has the Republican party passed ant
become responsible for SO much use

Concerning the campaign the presi
dent says: 1.-THE question for decision
will be whether we shall have in tn
house a Republican or Democrat
majority. It is not what complexion
of Republicanism one prefers, bu
simply whether we shall have the Re
publican party control legislation TO

This work. which means an entire

station, and the building OF yiaduct
to span the railway tracks at Fifth

thoroughtares OF the city.

exceeding forty feet a mile, which
will greatly facilitate the moving of
the freight en- the main line and hence

now in use will remain as at present.

venient.
The last piers for the bridge are now

workers are engaged in putting the

third of the bridge has been COM
pleted and work on the remainder Is
| being rushed In order that materials

may be taken by train TO the northern
end. From lower Lynchburg this
bridge will present magnificent
sight. and 1t will be one of the coun-
