TWO MULES WE'RE DROWNED.
Animals and Wagon Went Down
Flat Chain Broke.

A dispatch from LeXingto to The
State says two mules were drowned
in the Saluda river at Dreher's ferry
late Saturday afternoon When an at
tempt was made to cross on a fiat
operated by the county. The mules
were hitched to wagon loaded with
brick, and as the driver starred to
enter the fat a. link in the chain
broke and the fat went out from
under the team and all went down
together. The wagon was later re-
covered. One Of the mules belonged
to John ]. Dreher, the other to
Thomas Shuler. Mr. Dreher's mule
was valued at $3.50, and iMr. shuler's
at $3.50. No one seems to be directly
responsible for the accident. the only
reason assigned being the defective
link in the chain.

GOOD ROADS.

a splendid time to try the split log

around Laurens and is said to more

improving the highway. Let the emp

drag and see how it works. Then
when loaded for home. take it on as
ballast, or leave it in town for an
other trip. This will do away with

That's a mighty timely suggestion.

Wouldn't it be- fine if every farmer

little of labor or of money.

Every now and again we hear the
remark by some progressive merchant
of Newberry that he will not join the
chamber of comerce because it does
not do things. Others will object to
it because there are members who en-
Joy the recreation Of the game of pool
or Billiards. 1t is impossible to get
any organization composed of men
who have ideas who will all agree at
the same time on any proposition. For
instance, we hear remarks that the
proposition to build a good dirt road
through Newberry county from
Greenville to Columbia is a movement
in the interest of automobiles. and
there are those who are objecting to
this road, but who are willing, so they
say, to cooperate in any movement
to work all the roads leading into the
city of Newberry.
The main idea underlying the prop
osition to build the road from Green
vile to Columbia is to encourage the
people who live along the road to get
out at the same time and do the work
mainly themselves with their teams
and the labor on their plantations.
It was thought that by getting the CO.
operation of other counties to do the
same thing at the same time that the
work could be accomplished.
1t would be altogether practicable
and feasible for the people living
along other roads Of Newberry coun-
ty to do the same thing at the same
time, and we hope they will, but in the
event they do not, We hope to get
them to do so at some future tine.
What we started out to say is thai
the chamber Of commerce, or any
other organization, can not do things
unless the people unite and cooperate
and help to do them, and this should
be done even if at times things done
do not meet the approval Of everybody
connected with the organization.
The annual meeting will be held

That was great campaign in Char

M A. building. More than one hun
dred and fifty thousand dollars were
raised in seven days. We notice that
Mr.. A. C. Jones contributed 500 dol
lars. Mr.. Jones had a movement un-
der way in Newberry to raise an
amount to prepare the old court
house for a Y. M. C. A. building, but
cold water was thrown upon it. and
our recollection is that a few sprays
of this water came from some OF those
who are now lamenting the fact that
the old building is going to ruin. This
lamentation, however, was prior to

Atlanta, Ga, March 14.-Atlanta Is
very little further from NeWberry
than Charleston. If Capt W. G. Childs
and the seaboard would put that
sleeper on between Columbia and At
1anta it would be no further, for in
this day we measure distance by the
time It takes rather than by leagues
and miles. Now you leave Newberry
at 9 o'clock at night, and arrive IN
Charleston at 8 o'clock next morning,
spend the day and be back home the
next morning at o'clock. 1t the
SLEEPER between Columbia and. Allan
"a were put ON you could leave New
berry at 6.44 in the evening, reacn Al
lanta at : o'clock next morning, spend
the day, and be back in Newberry at
20 the next morning. So you see the
time would be the same.
Of course you can do this now' but
you have to &c to Clinton and wait
for the seaboard until about 2 o'clock
in the morning. and either go to bed
or sit up, but in either event you nave
to change cars. With the sleeper, as
Suggested, you would take it at New

FROM CHATTANOOGA.

Chattanooga, Tenn. March l5.-l
reached Chattanooga some time last
night. AS further confirmation OF
what T wrote from atlanta as t., New
berry negroes, when I walked into the
dining room at the Hotel Patten this
morning for breakfast, the first per-
son that greeted me was Enoch Jones.
He is No. 20 waiter at this hotel. 1t
is an elegant place. will net remain
here but a few hours, I hope. While
waiting for business to open /
thought I would write short note.
Chattanooga has probably more d.
versifcation of industry than any city
of it's size in America. There are also
a great number of very handsome Of
fee buildings, and really the bust
ness portion Of the city seems larger
than Atlanta, though the populatio
is not more than one-third OF Atlanta.
The manufacturers Of the city an
it's suburbs have bought building
which is known as the Manufacturers
association building, and this build
ing of four stories is crowded with an
exhibit of the articles manufactured
in and around Chattanooga. 1t is very
interesting to go through it, and this
diversifcation of industries makes the
city one of the best business points
probably in the South.
Speaking of South Carolinians and
Newberry people, I met in one of the
handsomest and best banks a young
Columbian, Mr.. CLARK, son of Mr.. W.
A. Clark, of Columbia. In the same
building, in the employ of the Volun-
teer State Life Insurance company, is
young Mr.. Boggs from Pickens
county.
Returning from Chattanooga, !

had experiences with Newb berrians and
South Carolinians. The porter on the
Pullman, when he observed "Newber-
ry, S. c." on my grip remarked that
that looked nice to him, and I found
that he was from Honea Path. While
taking lunch at the Kimball cafe. the
porter, who waited at the table, said
that he was a Greenville negro, and
when I came over to the central sta
ton to get the Southern for home, q
negro waiter in the cafe came up and
introduced himself to me as Will Gle

is very much interested in his New
berry friends. I found in the station
also, Mrs. S. W. Cannes, formerly ot
