WE WILL ALL COOPERATE.

. We have received a. letter from Mr..
4. W. McKeand, secretary of the
Charleston chamber of commerce, in
regard to the proposed highway be-
tween Asheville and Charleston, and
We are glad to know that he feels en-
couraged, and while he does not rec
ognize the movement which was
started at Newberry some weeks ago,
to build road between Greenville
and Columbia, We are satisfied that
the central committee appointed by
that meeting will gladly cooperate
with the movement which is started
in Charleston, and We viii be very
willing to turn it all over to Mr.. Nc
Keand, and do our best to get up en-
thusiams, and have our end of the
road put in good condition along with
the people of the other divisions.
There is no doubt, if the proper or
ganization can be effected, and the in
terest aroused, that a great deal can
be done toward building good road
between Asheville and Charleston.
We note that Mr.. McKeand has call
ed a meeting in Columbia Wednesday.
May 8, at 1.30 o'clock, and We shall
Invite the members of the central
committee to meet with him at that
time so that we may all get together.
It seems to US that one thing should
be done first, and that is for a COM
petent road builder. to &c over the en-
tire route, and where necessary ar
range for relocation of the road. In
this way, we are satisfied that a
great many railroad grade crossings
can be avoided, and heavy grades On
the road avoided. These matters,
however, will be discussed at the con-
ference called in Columbia on May 3.

Fielder Catching II.
IS Advertiser, April 19.

Laurens Advertiser, April 19.
Tomorrow is the day set by Col. r.
B. Fielder when he is to "write a
book on Gov. Blease. From the tone
Of Col. Felder's first letter we had a
reason to think that he really was
going to show the goods. From the
general tone of the latest dispatches,
It looks to us as if he is going to try
to evade the point. If he does not
make good in his avowed declaration
of the Goth of March We can figure
out the situation in but two ways {:
either Fielder does not know anything
or he knows something that if ex-
noseG would incriminate himself also.
Which is It? We are inclined toward
the latter.

SAND.CLAY ROADS.

During the past ten days, We have
been in sections of Orangeburg and
Darlington counties. In and around
Elloree, where we were, the people
have aroused to the importance OF
good roads, and they have some excel
lent highways. In that, community,
they are built of sand and clay, and,
of course, with the abundance of sand
on the surface and the clay accessible,
it is easier and cheaper to build this
class of road than it is in the hilly
section of the Piedmont, but in nearly
every portion of NeWberry county the
material is at hand for inexpensive
and permanent highways.
While in Darlington, We had the
pleasure of driving out over some of
the roads, and we think that the road
leading from Darlington to Timmons-
Vile. at least, for several miles, is the
best and prettiest and the smoothest
road that We have seen anywhere in
South Carolina. The other roads in
and around Darlington are also in
good condition. In fact, We were told
that all of the main roads leading into
Darlington had bean put in good con-
dition simply by the proper mixing Of
the sand and clay, and that the work
was done mainly by the chain gang
under the direction Of the supervisor.
We believe it would pay the county
of Newberry if Supervisor Feagle
would take the time, and expend the
county's money in making a trip to
Darlington and have a talk with the
Darlington supervisor as to the meth
DDS pursued by him in building these
roads. Of course, it is much more
level country, and, as stated, the ma
terial is all along the read side, but
in this county where you find the
sand, you will also find the clay. In
some places the sand is not so acces-
sible but generally you can secure,
without much trouble, gravel which
mixed with the clay would make an
excellent road.
We noticed also in looking at the
roads which arc being built in other
sections that where it is necessary
and to the ADVANTAGE Of the road, the
supervisor frequently abandons the
old road bed. This ought to be done
in many of the roads in Newberry
county. and all road work that We do,
as far as possible, should be Of per-
manenr character.

When We look over some Of our eX-
changes from towns no larger than
Newberry, and in counties not as
properous, and see how the merchants
and other business men advertise, we
almost wonder if our merchants rea-
lize the value of publicity. For in
stance, the Greenwood Index comes to
US this week with 81 columns and
more from the live and progressive
merchants of that thrifty and pros
porous city.

The cause of sore shoulders can al
most invariably be traced to i'll fitting
or filthy collars. Owners, as rule,
pay little attention to the fitting of
collars and their care and consequent
! ly most farmers have one or more
horses or mules with sore shoulders
during their busy season.
The chafng of i'll fitting collars
causes Inflammation and abrasion of
the skin and, in many instances, in
Jury of the deeper tissues. Quite fire.
quently deep seated assesses form
above the shoulder joint at the lower
part of the collar seat. These absces-
ses and the growth of fbrous tissue
which form in this region, require
surgical treatment, but simple abras-
ious and infammations of the skin
yield readily to treatment if treated
promptly.
In this, as in all diseased condi-
tons, it is necessary to remove the
cause. This can be done by keeping
collars clean and by seeing that they
fit so the shoulders will not be chat
ed and bruised. The practice of re-
moving collars and bathing shoulders
at midday is one Of the best preven-
tive measures that can be adopted.
AS soon as the skin of the shoulders
appears sensitive, it should be bathed
several times daily with a solution OF
alum or other astr&ngent solution.
Removal of pressure from the in
famed skin is absolutely necessary
and if this can not be accomplished
by changing the style of collar or
other method, the animal should be
rested until the shoulders heal.
Assesses which occur at the point
of the shoulder should be opened as
soon as they form, syringed daily
with suitable antiseptic solutions, and
be kept open until the discharge
ceases. Failure to co this will re-
suit in the formation OF hard flbrour
tumors which can only be removed
by operation.

His chair by the fireside is vacant, his
footsteps are stilled, and his loving
and kind voice We will hear no more.
In sickness he always lent a helping
hand; always ready to 90. He was
a faithful member of Mt. Tabor
church for several years, uniting him
self to Christ when quite young. He
was laid to rest at Mt. Tabor church,

by his pastor the Rev. E. ". Leslie.
He leaves a wife, one son and daugh-
ter, one step-daughter, and four step
grandchildren, and two brothers, and
host of friends to mourn his death.
Weep not, dear ones, weep not, for
the loved one has gone before. He was
ripe and ready for heaven. Jesus
knew it and took him home.
Gone loved one, gone,
Gone from our home,
But God hath recalled thee,
In thy ripe bloom,
Deaths icy fingers.
Rest upon thee now,
Still beauty fingers,
On thy brow.
Precious father thou hast left us.
From his world thou art forever
gone,
We would not call thee back,
For we know that thou art resting,
In thy fathers heavenly throne.
Gone loved one, gone,
Gone to thy tomb of rest,
Hope dispel its gloom,
While we are weeping,
Over thy hallowed ground,
But we know that thou art sleeping,
Til, Gods trumpet shall sound.
No one knows how We do miss thee,
Precious loved one rom us gone,
Seems that We can hear thee
Singing, oh sinner come home,
But we know that thou art
Forever gone to wait the resurrec-
tion morn.
Weep not children, wife, and brothers
For the loved one gone before,
For we know that ne is resting
Over on the other snore,
And calling for US to come.
