YOUR community, a willing mind and
Eeart to aid in the development OF

of Col. Z. J. Watson, State commits
siorer of agriculture, was one Of that
stirring body of our fellow townsmen
who met Col. Watson and party last
Friday morning, and under his pilot
age made the booster trip to Spartan
burg, via Gibsons,, Whitmire, Union,
Buffalo. West Springs and Glenn
Springs, the famous watering place Of
the Piedmont.
Impelled by sense of concern for
the advantage of our and neighborlng
counties, we were bent upon the pre-
seniation of the Appalachian mountain
highway, destined to make for the ben
eft of every section visited, for by this
means not molly will the low-county
citizen be enabled to traverse Sec

For Appalachian Highway

as the Lord Of the Universe may regu-
late and yield, out of the abundance OF
His good will and pleasure.
We were jolly and hopeful party,
indeed, as we sauntered forth under
Col Watson's excelleHt leadership,
made tie more so, indeed, as We en-
countered nothing to deter US in our
onward speed over the roads made
good and prepared by the enterprising
spirit that inspired such worthy and
progressive farmers who compose the
sections between Newberry and Whit
mire, notably DR.. w C. Brown, the
Ruffs, the Browns, the Subers and 9TH
ers. 1t is greatly to/t-eir credit and
keen business acumen that the high
way along their plantations was made
ready and in order, indicating a desire
to welcome the new mountain highway
cordially, and not only so, but they
were at Gibsons in propria persona,
and with voice to encourage.
The Whitmire interest was once
more manifested as large assem-
blage of public spirited men and ap-
proving ladies gave US I:earty well
come in the square, where remarks
were made by several prominent men
of the respective communities.
With no let-up in our enthusiasm,
we followed our leader and feared no
dangers. Soon across the roaring
Tiger, and with no tiger, either awake
or blind, to enchant us or to mele US
afraid, we left Whitmire to the rear,
and cast our longing glances to the
front in quest of more areas to cover
willie distance lent enchantment to
the view and robed the mountain in its
azure hue" AS of old, a courier was
sent forth to proclaim our coming, and
so with peals Of joyous laughter, and
Tipperary songs that reverberated
from hilltop to hilltop, our lusty
lungs and sonorous voices sounded the
keynote of that popular song, awaken
ing new interest in the minds of tie
expectant denizens of thriving Union.
A whole-souled and hearty welcome
was given to US on the street facing

the chamber of commerce, addresses
of welcome and responses by Mr.. B. G.
Matthews, president of National bank
OF NeWberry, Mayor q. F. Wright of
Newberry, DR.. Harms, president OF
Newberry college, and others. Re-
freshments were served to as many as
were fatigued and cared for them, and
everybody made to feel at I1ome and
happy. 1t was in evidence that the
Newberry contingent made good i'm
preston upon the citizens of Union,
betokening the right feeling that
should animate sister counties.
But it were not well to linger here
too long, lest we forget, and as there
were other fields to conquer and to
interest, on and On our automobiles
and our Fords carried US, checking up
at West Springs, w ere several inspir-
ing speeches were made by Commis-
sioner Watson, Dr.. Aarms, Mayor
Wright, Sheriff Blease and several
others. Eloquence was not wasted
here upon the desert air, as listZling
multitudes were eagerly enjoying the
sprightly humor, the witty suggestions,
the avalanche of good sense and ad-
yanced Il ought. Let me say, en- pas.
SAINT that Commissioner Watson's
speech at this juncture was the best
in my opinion that he had made, re-
plete With wisdom and sound counsel
as he depicted the immense need OF
good roads to tie people of the coun-
try districts, because Of the greater
facilities for the transportation of the
farm products, for the arousing Of
livelier appreciation in schools and
making easier the approaches to the
country churches. Thus our young
men and maidens of the country would
feel less tie impulse to go to the cities,
which, alas, too often allure and do
not satisfy. Col. watson sounded
like a prophet of old in his warning, as
he branched out upon his subject in
it's larger aspect and constructive
view point. 1t was an admirable ad-
dress and will bear fruit.

WONDERFUL, PERFORMING LIONS

There are some wonderful lions with
the Sparks Circus that will exhibit
here Tuesday, June %. They are not
only OF amazing size and beauty but
they have been trained to do some OF
the most thrilling acts ever presented
to an audience. Herr Fritz Drummer,
the world s greatest lion tanner, was
born and raised in the jungles Of equa-
torial Africa, and from childhood was
accustomed to hear the roars of the
man-eatlng kings IF the forest that
prowled about his cabin at night.
His father once captured some lion
cubs which he trained to aid him in his
hunting expeditions. Thus reared the
boy naturally became lion tanner
and hunter. Selecting some cubs Of
the largest species known, he reared
them and educated them to perform
feats that would illustrate the amazing
strength and ability Of these beasts.
During the performance of the
Sparks Shows group OF these mon
ster animals will be turned loose in a
great steel enclosure in full view of
the audience. Herr Drummer will en-
ter this enclosure, unarmed, and put
these lions through some astonishing
performances. It is the most thrilling
act of the kind ever seen and will new
er be forgotten by the beholder.
Like every other act and feature
presented with the Sparks Shows it is
far away from and superior to any
thing of the kind ever seen before.

at second by Western, who later stole
second. Linnehan was passed and

cycle. The road at this point is very
narrow since part of II has been
closed on account of the sewer ditch.
Mr. WAGNER seeing the danger of
running into the motor cycle attempt
ed to avoid a collision and in doing
so. ran headon into an electric light
pole. The terrific impact threw the

top, rendering his daughter uncon-
scious. She was carried to the home

restored to consciousness when it
was learned that outside of small
bruise on the forehead, she was not
injured.
The car was badly damaged and
had to be left for repairs. E. M.
Johnson and Amos Fancher took the
family home In their cars. The &C
cident was quite a fortunate affair
after all. and it was indeed FORUM
ate that none of the occupants of the
car were injured.
