WHY MANNING is IN BAD.

Gov. Manning has offered a. reward
of $50 for the capture of Charles Rob
inson, a negro who is alleged to have
killed Lucius Crittenden, white man,
in Abbeyille county, several weeks ago.
Nobody will object to the offer of tits
reward. The negro ought to be cap
tured, of course, and if the reward of
$50 will insure or hasten his capture
nobody will object to the payment OF
the money.
Some months ago Mr.. T. NJ Dodd,
an aged and respected merchant of
Anderson, was beaten to death in his
store and mis- assailant escaped and has
never been captured. 1t was as foul
a murder as was ever committed in
South Carolina. Gov Manning was
asked to offer a reward for the cauture

THE GERMAN COTTON BUYERS
AN INVITATION.

So far as the question of financing
the coming crop of cotton is concerned,
the Southern farmer may rest easy.
The only problem to be confronted
will be that of a foreign market for
the cotton. If the Washington admin
istration succeeds in bringing about
satisfactory arrangement with Great
Britain by which the way will be
opened to the neutral countries-and
The Observer believes a way will be
opened-tne South need not now be
disturbed with visions of the night
mare of low prices. For the first time
in history the Southern cotton farmer
will have the federal reserve board
back of him. This board has been
taking time by The forelock and the
probabilities are that when the crop
comes on it will find the protection of
a practical financing plan. This will
be based on the warehouse system.
And that there will be 8 demand for

That main highway - automobile
highway, if you desire so to call it
from the low country to the mountains
about which Col. Watson has been
talking and for which he has been
working means more to Newberry
than some of our people seem tc
realize.
The best and most feasible route is
via Newberry, Whitmire and Union
but in this day such good things are
not thrust upon you. You must gel
out and hustle for them. Newberry
has let several good things go around
her simply because she sat idly by
and let them go. 1t viii not take much
effort in B1is case, but we must at
least show our interest.
The distance from Columbia to Spar
tanburg by this route is 11O miles.
The road in Richland is now being pu:
in fine condition. The Lexington por-
tion needs to be relocated and worked
between Chaplin and Little Mountain.
The other portion of the Lexington end
needs little attention. Between
Newberry and the Lexington line there
is need of a scrape and some work.
From Newberry to Wnitmire there
will be need of work, but the people
along this line and at Whitmire are
awake and this portion of the road
will be worked or the money forthcom-
ing to have it done. We understand
that the Union supervisor is ready and

is to be held in Newberry next Wed

By the way, see that tie Observer
suggests Palmetto as the name for the

wnere this branch of Scott's creek was
known as Palmetto, and The State
comes along and says at first blush it
is not much stuck on the name Pal

Scots creek bore tie name Of Pal
metto. Truth is, why should We call
the park Palmetto. True, this State is
known as the Palmetto State, but there
grows no palmetto in this part of the
State, and think such a name would
be anything but appropriate, but if
some one will just come along and
give five I:undred or a thousand dol
lars l nave no doubt the park will be
called anything he would care to sug-
gest. Money and not labor is what will

cars drive around the corners of these
narrow streets without making the
slightest signal for the crossing, and
going sometimes twenty or more miles
an hour, and then I have seen them
going at that rate at night without any
light at all. Just last Saturday after
noon l happened to be walking in Cald-
well street just before reaching Main
street and l saw small crowd and
stopped and asked the trouble. There
was a pretty badly dilapidated bicycle
along side the sidewalk, and l asked
WI ere the rider was and what the
cause was, and if the rider was dead.
A negro boy promptly spoke up tnat
he was the rider and he was not dead
and not even hurt, but his little ma
chine was torn in half. A big car had
run over it and had gone on as If
nothing -ad happened. Of course, the
boy and the bicycle should not have
been in the way, and when the horn
sounded they should promptly nave
gotten out of the way. And even If
no l-orn is sounded you must get out
of the way, of at least some of these
drivers, or you are in imminent danger
of losing life and limb. These streets
in Newberry are very narrow and the
city should make some traffic regula-
tions and then enforce them. Another
car that same Saturday afternoon
