Now is another good time for the use
of the split log drag. The roads are
in fine condition now for tie appli-
cation. We notice that Laurens coun-
ty passed some sort of State law re-
quiring the land owners to drag the
roads. We do not think d1e land own
ers should be required to drag the
roads any more than any other class
of citizens. Good roads sre good things
for every one whether he is land
owner or whether he owns a horse
or a mule or whether he owns nothing

and every one should be interested in
improving them The burden should
bear evenly On all classes of property

THE Herald and News has received

have Tad them for some time and will
be glad to give them to any one who
is interested in the making or the using
of the drag. Every one should be in
terested. We know how to make the
drag and Law to use it. What we
deed is to have some argument to in
duce the use of the simple device.

That was disastrous fire in Pros
perity last Friday, Just about half
tie buildings for business purposes in
the town were destroyed in less than
two hours. Fortunately several of them
were not occupied. Those that were
burned were of wooden construction
and made insurance almost prohibit
i've. Most OF the buildings will be re-
built and while the loss falls heavily
on those wt2o owned the buildings, in
the end the fire will be blessing in
disguise. A better and more substan-
tial set Of buildings will take the place
Of those burned. The greatest loss was
the handsome and modern residence
of Mr. W. A. Moseley His insurance
will not more than cover one-half Of
his loss. He lost also most Of his
3-ouse1o old goods But Prosperity pluck
and enterprise will soon rebuild bet

"a BLASTED SHAME"

\ BLASIED SHAMEe
1t it blasted" s. ame that the South
ern has taken off that Pullman car that
was pulled between Columbia and
Greenville. 1t comes to Columbia and
is held there all day. 1t was a little
SOD that was thrown out to t is di-
vision, and while a great many people
cid not use it, yet it was more patron
lied than some Pullmans that We know
that are being run.
This division Q. the Southern is one
OF the best paying divisions in the SIS
tenn, we lave always card, and We get
only the refuse and what money is.
made over here is taken to build up
some other division or the main line.
We submit to the officials that this is
not just or fair treatment The coaches
are generally those tat have been dis
carded on the main lines. The Pull
mans that were run over here were Of
the old makes, but still they were Pull
mans.
The last trip of this car carried ten
passengers out Of Columbia for Green
vile, and the night before, we are told,
that tie car was practically filled with
passengers from Greenville.
The Atlantic Coast Line operates a
Pullman between Columbia and Flor
ence. The other night when We got in
it in Columbia We were the only pas
senger to Florence, but on the return
trip the car was very nearly filled. We
do not hear that it is to be taken off.
We spoke to Railroad Commissioner
Shealy about tie rumor tat the car
was to be taken off and he said that
the commission was going to insist
On the car being retained. We called
him up the next day and told him that
the order had been given to take the
car off, and ne said: the commission
could not help it, as it was interstate.
Well, isthatis the way the commission
sees it there is no hope from them.
We appeal to the Southern as mat
ter of fair dealing to give their Gus
timers and patrons on this neglected
line at least this little accommodation.
We are entitled to some consideration.
At Newberry We Save the same old
freight depot that was here when we
first came to Newberry, and that has
been so long that the memory of very
few people here now runs to the con-
trary And our passenger station,
which is misnamed union station, is
no such sort of thing as We should
have in town that gives the business
to the road that Newberry does.
- If expenses must be cut, take off
your ticket takers, or whatever you
n
ages.
The day coaches as rule are un-
sanitary and crowded and to take
trip from Greenville or Anderson to
Columbia in one of them is very
tiresome and tedious and wearing job
If one wants to go only to Charles
ton now he must go to Columbia to
start. If the towns from Greenville to
Columbia had any spirit they would
enter such protest that would make
some of the officials high up, who ride
around in their private cars in ease
and comfort, sit up and take notice
Of course, these fellows will say they
know what they are doing, but we
maintain that the travelling public is
entitled to some sort of consideration
and some convenience. Give us fair
deal over here. That is all we ask.
