Supplemental Legislation Needed.

The opportunity thus suggested for fed
eral incorporation. it seems to me, IS suit
able constructive legislation needed to ia
cilitate the squaring of great Industrial
enterprises to the rule of action laid down
by the antitrust law. This statute as
construed by the Supreme court must
continue to be the line of distinction for
legitimate business. 1t must be enforced
unless we are to Danish individualism from
all business and reduce it to one common
system of regulation or control of prices
like that which now prevails with respect
to public utilities. and which when ap-
piled to all business would be a long step
toward state. socialism.

THE INTERURBAN.

The Herald and News has recently
called attention to the possibilities of
securing the interurban and also 9th
er good railroad connections. If our
business men or business organizations
have taken any steps to get i'm touch
with the people who have direction OF
the building of the roads which are
now projected or that may be project
ed, we have not heard of it. However,
it may be we'll continually to remind
our people of opportunities that seem
to be knocking at our doors at this
time.
It seems that the interurban has Of
fered to come to Jaurens, as note the
following from the Laurens Advertis-
err,
GAS stated in the news columns OF
this issue, Mr.. ". S. Lite, a high Of
fetal of the interurban company, has
offered to come to Laurens for the
purpose Of discussing a proposition
for getting the trolley from Greenville
to this place. It is probably unneces-
sary for US to stress the Importance
of inviting him here at once but it is
such an important and proper move
that it's necessity will bear repeating
many times"
Clinton is also making a slight noise
from tht local press in the direction of
securing this road from Laurens to
Clinton and is suggesting, as The Her
aid and News has frequently suggest
ed, that it might be pulled on to New
berry and thence, of course, to Saluda

and Augusta and also to Columbia.
Note the following from the Clinton
Gazette:
Spartan burg, strange to say, doesn't
seem to encourage the interurban, re-
fusing, it appears, to offer the glad
hand in the granting of the necessary
franchise, and so, the projected con-
struc+ion of the line connecting Tie
Spartan city and the Mountain city
is at a dead standstill. Clinton might
ar both of these cities by reaching out
and pulling the road this way, and on
to Newberry. See?"
We would very much like to see
Newberry wake up to these .opportuni-
ties and get both. As We have fire.
quently remarked, communities only
get things in this day when they wake
up and go after them.

COOPERATION NEEDED.

Mr.. Jno. B. Mayes has received let
ter from Mr.. E. r. Preston, who was
the first president of the Greater
Charlotte club and who remained at
the head of the organization for three
years, and who did a great deal of
work to make possible the Greater
Charlotte. Mr.. Preston suggests that
the two best methods of advertising
that be has found is, first, getting con-
ventions, church meetings, etc., to
meet in your town, and second, the
writing of personal letters, enclosing
q brief clear pamphlet which sets
forth the advantages of your town.
Mr.. Mayes has been very active in
his efforts to build up Newberry and
to make the chamber of commerce an
important factor in that development,
but unfortunately he has not had the
cooperation and assistance from the
business interests which his efforts
deserved, and We can say from exper-
fence that it is very discouraging to
undertake to do anything for the gen.
eral benefit of a community when you
can not get the cooperation of the
husiness interests of that community.
The business men should give more
hearty cooperation.

We admire Mr.. Leon VI. Green, ex-
Columbia correspondent Of the News
and Courier, for the manly stand he
has taken in letting his position on
the News and Courier go rather than
be arbitrarily dictated to in a personal
matter with which the News and
Courier had nothing to do. We would
have admired him as much if he had
refused to surrender "a newspaper
position at the dictation of a governor
in order to curry favor with a COVER
nor. We have learned to regard Mr.
Green as one of the brightest young
newspaper men in the State. and we
do not believe that the holding of a
position On any governors military
staff would have caused him to color
his newspaper stories. Had this been
the case, however, \his paper should
have asked for his resignation for COL
oring his stories, and not because he
held a position on the staff of gov
ernor.
Many newspaper men have held
positions in the past On. governors
stats. Col. August Kohn, the present
htad of the News and Courier bureau
in Columbia, was a member of the
stats of both Governor McSweaney
and Governor Hayward. Cols. Will
liam Banks, Of the Columbia State, and
James A. Hoyt, of the Columbia Rec
ord, the latter of whom has in the past
held positions of high trust both on
the Columbia State and the News and
Courier, were valued members of gov
ernors' stats. If OUR memory does not
fail US, Col. Banks was on the staff Of
two governors Governors Heyward
and Ansel.
We have very high regard for Mr..
Latham, the editor of the News and
Couier, but we were considerably sur
prised when he demanded Mr.. Green's
resignation from the News and Cour-
Ter or from the staff of the governor.
We do not see how Mr.. Green could
have maintained his self-respect and
taken any other stand than the one
which he chose.

We understand from the county sup
ervisor that he will place his chain
gang force on the public road between
Newberry and Prosperity on the first
of August, which is next Tuesday, and
that he will keep it on there until the
road is built not only to Prosperity,
but on to the Lexington line at Little
Mountain. This is one of the links of
the official highway between Asheville
and Charleston, and The Herald and
News is very glad that the supervisor
is going to work the road at this time.
This is not only part of this official
highway, but it is probably the most
generally travelled road in the county.
We hope that he will relocate it in
several places so as to avoid grade
crossings.
