We have already had some splendid

We have already had some splendid
weather for road dragging and will
have more before the winter is over.
Wherever the roads have been drag
ded they are to be found in excellent
condition. But thre is much more
work yet to be done,-Lancaster
News.
The same thing is true in every
county where there are roads. The
road drag is a very simple device and
if used properly viii insure good
roads. If the people who are inter
ested will not use it the blame rests
entirely with them and they have
only themselves to blam Use the
split log drag and have good roads.
Refuse to use it and have the bad
roads We have been having. There are
the two horns of the dilemma, take
your choice.

One of these day We are going to
have road between Newberry and
Columbia that can be used in any kind
of weather by any kind of vehicle
buggy, wagon or automobile-and
such road is going to work to the
advantage of the capital city and of all
the communities through which it pas
ses. The supervisor of Richland, it is
reported, is putting his part of the road
in good shape. There ought to be a
road from Columbia through Newberry
on to Laurens, and thence on by
Greenville one way and Spartanburg
another, which would be a real road,
and it is bound to come. The sooner,
however, the better.

The Herald and News believes in
honesty in elections, as in all things

safeguarded in the interest Of the
preservation Of the primary system,

enforced, and strictly enforced.

]. D. SMITH LIVINGSTON.

g g g g g g g g g g q g q q g q -
James Daniel Smith Livingston, the
son of Daniel Livingston and Keren-
happuck Livingston, his wife, was
born on the 18th day Of March. 1927,
and departed this life on the 1st day
Of February, 1914. Mr. Livingston
was born in that part of Edgefeld
county now embraced in Saluda coun-
ty He was married on the End day of
December, 1852, to Mary P. Vaughn.
Mrs. Livingston survives her husband
and she is now in the 18th year of her
age.
James Daniel Smith Livingston was
gallant Confederate soldier. He was
sergeant and later color sergeant of
his company. He was in company D
of the 18th regiment. He served dur
ing the four years of the war and was
wounded in the thigh in the battle OF
Chicamauga After the surrender, Mr..
Livingston never took part in the re-
unions, not because he did not dearly
love his comrades in battle and those
who fought for that which was right
but he took the position that the war
had ended and it was best for the
peace and welfare of the country that
the agitation should cease and that
so far as possible the happenings Of
that four years of blood shed and
wastes of lives and properties should
be entirely for cotton
Mr.. Livingston was a farmer. He
owned valuable farming lands and was
prosperous and progressive farmer.
In the later years Of his life, Mr..
Livingston resided in the city Of New
berry where he owned valuable pro-
perty interests.
Mr.. Livingston was a man who took
an active interest in all political Ques-
tions of the day. He always ex-
ercised his right of citizenship, he be-
lieving that it was the duty of every
man to vote and thereby aid as he
thought in the best interest of his
State and Nation. Mr. Livingston was
! in the highest sense Of the word a
patriot. While he thus took an active
interest in matters of State, yet he was
never a candidate for Office, perfer-
ring to exercise his rights and duties
as a good citizen in quiet way.
Mr.. Livingston was member OF
Central Methodist Church. He was a
member of the Methodist Episcopal

Governor Blease declined to appear
before the asylum investigating COM
mittee until Senator TilIman comes
before the committee and makes
specific his charges. The governor
says that in his practice at the bar
it has always been customary for
those making charges to offer proof,
and then for those accused to be given
the opportunity of a reply, That has
always been our understanding.

SPRING AND THE SPLIT-LOG DRAG

The split-log drag is coming into
its own. Listen to some sentences
from a Washington dispatch to the
Columbia State, inspired by road ex-
perts Of the United States department
of agriculture:
Repairs to roads should be
made when needed and not once year
after crops are laid by. Because of
it's simplicity, efficiency and cheapness,
the split-log drag or other similar de-
vice is destined to come into more and
more general use. With the drag
properly built and its use we'll under
stood, the maintenance of earth and
gravel roads becomes a simple and in
expensive matter"
The same article says that 'it is a
great mistake to put off working roads
until August or September, according
to road experts of the United States de-
partment of agriculture. The roads
should be worked when the soil is
damp so as to make the soil bake
when it dries out
Describing the split-log drag best
calculated for use, the article con-
tinues:
Care should be taken to make the
Log should be from seven to 10 feet
with ease, as a light drag can be
drawn by two medium sized horses
and responds more readily to various
methods of hitching and the shifting
position of the operator than a heavi-
er one The best material for the drag
is dry cedar log, though elm, walnut,
] box elder or soft maple are excellent.
Oak, hickory or ash are TOO heavy. The
log should be from seven to 0 feet
Iong, and from eight to 10 inches in
diameter. It should be split carefully
! as near tao centre as possible, and the
heaviest and best slab chosen for the
front. When the soil is moist, but not
sticky, the drag does the best work.
AS the soil in the field will bake if
piowed wet, so the road will bake if
the drag is used on it when it is wet.
# the roadway is full of holes or bad
ly rutted the drag should be used once
when the road is soft and slushy."
The Herald and News has so long
and so consistently urged the use OF
the split-log drag that it is extremely
gratifed to reproduce this endorsement
from the United States government o1
this simple device for the improve
ment of the roads.
And now is the time.

The senate committee on education
has reported unfavorably the Former
bill to prohibit white persons from
teaching in negro schools, Some startl,
ing facts have been brought out in
the discussion of this measure, and
the best thing the senate can do is
to pass it. AS we have pointed out,
such law ought not to be necessary
in South Carolina, and we regret that
it is, but since it seems to be neces-
sary, We favor it heartily.
