Unfortunately the larger part OF
coal mining in Oklahoma can not
properly be classed as coal mining,
most of the coal being shot from the
solid I'm spite ef all that has been
sad and written in condemnation OF
Tho practice Shooting from the solid
involves less labor than underwriting

chimes and the fact that the practice
~ permitted has reduced the quant-

and the quantity OF machine-mined
coal was 50.S12 short tons or 1.5
per cent OF The total In 1908 3l352
tons of coal were machine-mined. In
1902. I'M lndian Territory, 1875 tons
were uGdercuI by machines.

hat the percentage Of deaths due to

The State board of health condemns
the hosiery mill at the penitentiary
as unhealthy and the work unsanitary.
The board Of directors says that it is
perfectly sanitary and there is nothing
wrong with it and the contract must
be carried out. Of course the board
of directors know. What the legisla-
ture should do is to put all the con-
victs now On the farms and in the pen
itentiary on the roads and build a few
through State roads. The farms could
be rented. Fifteen hundred conVicts
with proper supervision and machinery
could build a road across the State
every month and in very few years
this State would have the best roads
of any section of the world.

COME AND Do LIKEWISE.

When The Herald and News went
On cash basis about two years ago
We took from our mailing list at one
time and another some 1900 names of
those who were in arrears and they
owed us an average of about SO
each. A great many of these have
come back, but very few of them have
paid anything On the old account. We
felt sure that at least fifty per cent of
it would be paid, but We have been
badly fooled. The other day, however,
a good friend Of ours and one who is
now paid in advance subscriber
came in and asked for his old account.
He said he owed it and wanted to
pay it. It amounted to s725. Like
an honest man that he is he paid it..
If the others who owe US would do
likewise it would be a great help to
us just now. We had about decided
to destroy the old books, but this friend
kindles a little ray of hope that there
may be others who would like to dis
charge this honest obligation. It
would be a very small matter to each
one, but a great big thing to us. We
mention this to encourage others to
come and do likewise.

The North Carolina Letter Carriers
association is an intelligent and pro-
gressive organization. At its annual
meeting in Asheville the association
took a strong stand for good roads,
and it should have a powerful effect
On people who never give the question
a thought. Good roads mean more and
better rural delivery service, besides
all the other benefits, and the man who
opposes highway improvement heads
off the postman and progress.-Wil-
mington On. CO. Star.
The rural carriers Of South Caro-
lima are also strong advocates of good
roads. The farmer who is not, opposes
his own best interests, or as the Star
we'll says, he heads off the postman
and progress. And yet it is difficult
matter to raise money to put in roads.

ANALYSIS shows the ice free from con-
tamination As We understand it, the
analysis of the distilled water at the
ice plant shows this distilled water to
be pure. The analysis of the spring
water, however, from which part of
the water which is distilled is taken
shows, according to the analysis "posi-
tive bacterial indications of contamin-
ations." In reply to an inquiry over
the telephone On Monday, it was stat
ed that the ice factory was continuing
to use water from this spring in the
manufacture of ice, on the ground,
we presume, that the distillation of the
water will free it from the contamina-
tons. We present in another editorial
in these columns what we consider to
be suggestions of vital Importance to
the health of the people of Newberry

pure. The commissioners of public
works on Saturday had the water
drawn from the standpipe and the in
terror thoroughly washed down from

emulation of sediment in the bottom
of the pipe, but there was no bad odor
connected with it. All this was shov-
eled cut and hauled away and in ad-
dition the water mains and hydrants
were all thoroughly flushed. This is
to be done regularly hereafter, so we
are told by the commissioners. 4

An OPPORTUNITY.

The editor of The Herald and News
has received a private letter from a
prominent citizen of another county
which is along the line We have been
urging for a number of years and es-
pecially as to the railroad situation in
this county. We take the liberty of
making few extracts from the letter
without giving the name of the writer.
1t only shows that people outside of
Newberry can see what great oppor-
tunity we have and yet we can scarce
ly get our own people to sit up and
take notice. We let an opportunity
like this slip away from US once and
we should profit by that experience.
We do not propose to argue the ques-
ton now, but the proposition is SELF
evident and it would be a waste of
words to try to argue.
Here is how it appears to an out
slider:
I'm glancing over map of South
Carolina TODAY il struck me- that il
would not be a bad idea if Newberry
could be connected with the Seaboard
at Whitmire. While I know nothing
about the Seaboard management, still
I believe it would be a good idea for
your hustling business men to consid-
er the matter carefully and make the
company an offer to help by rights-of-
way, subscriptions, etc. If you ever
got that branch you would then be in
good position for connection on to
Spartanburg with the Clinchfeld and
probably to Augusta through Saluda.
hope you will not think me ohicious,
but I am Just throwing these sugges-
tions out for what they are worth.
. I believe this would be a big
help to your town and county and
there is no telling what would de-
velope from it."

THE TOLL TOO GREAT.

Under this caption the Charleston
Post gives the following facts and
figures from the government statis-
tics: y
"The price South aCrolira pays out
siders for things that can be produced
in the State is heavy. An epitome Of
figures given by a government statis-
tician shows that in year South Car
olina buys from people in other States:
Horses and mules, s11,550,000; bacon,
s13,O0O,00O; dairy products, s12,000,-
900; -four, s20,OO0,O00; commercial
feedstuffs, including hay, S4,000,000;
canned and other goods bring the an
nual total to s72,O00,OO0. A cursory
glance over the items listed in the
foregoing brings profound regret, for
all Of them can be produced in South
Carolina. The record is very disheart-
entng, but, happily, repeated publica-
ton of these and kindred facts, aided
by the intelligent efforts of men who
have been carefully studying the bar
riers at present interposed, is gradu
ally bringing about improvement Of
sorry situation, there being some evi
dence that South Carolinians who
have the facilities for producing food
for man and beast are beginning to
devote serious attention to these i'm
portant matters"
The record is disheartening, as the
Post very we'll says. The Herald and
News has for many years urged upon
the farmers Of this section the folly
of buying so many things they could
grow on the farm, and undertaking to
make the money with which to buy
them by growing cotton. we could cas-
lily be the richest section of the world
if we only would. We can make al
most everything we need and then
have the cotton We grow as surplus
money crop. We want our farmers to
study these figures. They contain a.
very wholesome lesson The toll this
State pays, as the Post we'll says, is
wholly out of proportion and there is
no sense in continuing It.
