APPALACHIAN HIGHWAY
Work Completed in Newberry From
N1hitmire to Newberry-UniOn
Commenced at County Line.

Work is about completed on tht
Newberry end of Appalachian high
wey from Whitmire TO Newberry. Tho
end from Newberry to the Lexington
line is the same as the Piedmont
highway and while a little work and
dragging and smoothing would not in
jure this end, still it is in fairly good
condition.
The section from Newberry to Whit
mire, we are told. is in good shape,
but will need pretty constant atten-
ton until the road settles and becomes
hard, which will be not before next
spring, but if the people VINO live along
the way and those who travel it will
cooperate with Supervisor Sample, as
we are sure they will, this will soon be
a fine roadway Mr.. Sample and the
people along the wav are 10 be con-
graduated upon the interest thew took
ard on the results accomplished for a
good road.
On the Union side we understand
that the work has been started at the
Newberry line and that the Union
people have started out to make thir-
ty-foot roadway and are taking up big
trees where necessary and straight
ending out the road. This is the way
to do the work and we hope that the
Union people will carry this plan out
all the way through the county. 1t
will be an inspiration to NeWberry by
another year to go and do likewise.

We invite any of our friends to con-
tribute short articles to the Fiftietn
Anniversary edition. Make them short
and crisp. If We have not asked you
personally we will appreciate your in
terest and short article on any sub
ject that may appeal to you. For in
stance We had oTerlooked the fact that
our good friend Hugh Wilson of Able
vilie, had made his start on a New
berry newspaper, and when he read
our announcement On his 77th birthday
he sat down and wrote US very inter
esting communication, which we ap-
preciate more than We can express and
which We are sure our readers will ap-
preciate. We would be pleased to have
other friends do likewise.
We have asked DR.. R. H. Land o.
Augusta for short historical article.
DR.. Land lived in Newberry before the
war and at one time did work on one
of the immediate predecessors Of The
Herald and News. We are sure his
contribution will be valuable. Please

We notice that Ed De Camp OF the
Gaffney Ledger, who has been in the
habit of conducting contests for sub
scrintions. or rather having some one
else to conduct the contest, has an
nounced that he will have no more
contests We have reached the same
conclusion. We so announced not long
ago. and just the other day one OF these
contest managers came along and al
most persuaded US into another, but
we have been doing a little figuring
from the publishers viewpoint and we
have reached the conclusion that these
contests do not pay. By the time you
get through paying for prizes and COM
missions you nave very little left for
the subscription.
We have decided to give the benenE
to each subscriber rather than to one
or two in prizes and to the contest
manager Therefore We offered to give
each subscriber 20 per cent if he>pald
hv q certain time. Now we are offer
ing to give each subscriber about "A
per cent if he pay by the 20th OF this
month, or in plain figures to give you
q wears subscription for only $1.3l.
Do not wait until the limit for THIS
nrice is out. but send your subscrlp-
ton in today. Get the best newspaper
we can make. 1t may not be the best
or next to the best, but you may rest
assured it will always be the best we
can make under the circumstances and
every one will be given a fair deal.
lh6n we nave dI1 uSSo ~ S4'N ~
each subscriber-some other maga-
zines and periodicals that are worth
many times the price we ask.
IL addition to those already an
nounced we have made arrangements
with the Progressive Farmer to send
that publication the Housewife and
The Herald and News for the low price
Of $1.9S for a whole year. The Pre-
gresive Farmer is a dollar paper and
one of the best and most up to the
minute farmers papers for this section
that is published. Three papers worth

read: CLOSED on account Of State
Fair. Will open tomorrow at $50"
Well, that was all right, but we opened
before $50
We always like to go to the fair
to see the people from all parts Of the
state. They were there this year in
larger numbers than we have ever
seen before. In fact that crowd was so
large that we could not see any one
and we came away having seen fewer
people than at any fair, as paradox
ical as that may sound. The exhibits
were fine, especially in the farm de-
partment.
The behavior at the grounds and on
the streets where the crowds We're
iammed was ideal. Every one was
courteous and polite and there was no
throwing of trash and other sorts of
annoyances, and no one was seen un-
der the influence of liquor. In fact
every one was in good humor and
was trying to make every one else feel
good. On ;i,p trains returning at night
the behavior was also ideal.
The street parade in Columbia was
the best We lave ever seen. 1t cost
sleat deal o. money to get up some
OF the displays, but it was fine adver-
tisement of the city.
1t was a great fair and we are glad
we went and feel better for having
closed the shop for one day and going
to mingle with South Carolinians from
other sections of the State.
We suppose the usual amount of pol
itics was talked and states made by
those interested in that sort Of game,
but we heard none of it for the reason
that We were not Looking for that sort
of thing and we saw very few of the
politicians. we did not even see the
governor, and we did not look for him.
We understand that he was at the foot
ball game
Then we have been told by others
who we're at the fair that there was
an unusual amount of drinking, and
that they saw more men under the in
fuence of liquor than at former gatn-
erings of this kind. And then We have
heard that there was open betting on
the loot ball game right in the pres
ence of the governor of the State. We
do not know about this because we dlo
not attend the game and We were IN
the grounds while the game was going
on. We do not know anything about
the game of foot ball and do not ap-
prove it from what we do know.

POOR BUSINESS POLICY.


The affairs of the county or the cit,
or the State should be run on the sam'
business policy that a prudent busi
ness man would conduct his own pri
Gate business.
Newberry county is now out o
money and will not have any to NEE
the ordinary expenses of the county
government until after the adjourn
ment of the next session of the legls-
lature. That is net good business man
agement. Ii is just as easy for the
county to run on a cash basis as it is to
try to run it without money. The ex-
penses have to be met some time or
other and the money must come out
of the taxpayer, and why force him to
pay interest and then nave the debt to
pay sooner or later.
Some years ago an act was passed
yroviding for the appropriation OF
money for each department, so that it
plight be known just what each cost
and when the money gives out there
can no longer be any payments made.
The theory is all right. 1t is a good
business start. But it is not good busi-
ness to appropriate money for the ex-
penses of any department and make no
provision to meet the appropriation.
An examination of the last published
report of the county supervisor will
show the appropriation, and it will
show that there is a balance on hand,
when as a matter of fact the county
has no money. why not make the levy
sufficient to meet the appropriation
and stop borrowing money from year
to wear and increasing the debt of the
county every year. The people will
haze to pay the debt some time or 9TH
er and it is not good business judg-
ment to run the county on a credit
any more than it is for private in
dividual. in fact, there is not as much
reason, and in fact further, there is no
reason or good judgment in SO doing
at all. Because the county should not
have to run on a credit. And it does
not fool the people into the belief tha.
taxes are not increased or that they
are reduced, because the people know
they have to pay the bill some time,
and if the money is borrowed the in
terest is to pay and if the work for
the county has to be done on credit
it costs more to have it done.
The delegation should provide in the
supply bill sufficient levy to meet
the appropriations and if they do not
then they should reduce the appropri-
ations.
The total appropriation made by the
delegation in the last supply bill foots
up $4,000. Just how they expected to
meet that appropriation with levy Of
31h mills we would be pleased to have
them figure out The total taxable
property is about seven million, and
31a mills will just about raise enough
money to pay back the money bor-
rowed. Then there is one mill for
roads, which would only give $1,000, and
suppose the fines and commutation tax
amount to $4,000, which they will not,
the appropriation is still some SO, 900
more than the amount raised by the
present levy.

Elk Grove Farmers.club

held an interesting, profitable
and a we'll attended meeting at
the home of Mrs. j. J. Chew.
east of Logan, Thursday.
The morning session was de.
voted to a musical and literary
program as follows:
Reading" Back Home to see

Reading" Stirring Adven-
lures of a Summer Boarder, !"
Mrs. 5. F. Rayl.

Song by the members of the
club.
A two course dinner was
served to thirty-tive in attend
ance.
The afternoon program was
opened with a song by the club,
then the club was favored with
instrumental music by Ethel
Pierce.
Which has been the more
beneficial to the farmer, expert
ment stations or agriculture
manufacturers? After bring
ing out the good that each &C
complished, it was decided that
the manufacturers had benefit
ed the farmer more up to the
present time.
After no little discussion it
was decided that the public
roads, aside from the county
roads, were given a just amount
of work by those in charge.
How can we prevent bloat in
cattle feeding on alfalfa and
clover pastures? Decided that
thus far no certain preventive
is known to the general public.
"The Patriotism of Peace"
presented to the club by M. w.
Wilson, proved an interesting
matter, and the thought that
refraining from travel and en-
gaging in a business for pecu-
MARY benefit, liable to involve
the United States in war with a
foreign power, was the greatest
evidence of patriotism that
could be shown at the present
time.
The next regular meeting,'of
the Elk Grove club will be at
the home of Mr.. and Mrs. M.
w. Wilson, northeast of Logan,
Thursday Sept. 2.
Instead of the regular meet
ing in August, the attendance
OF the county club picnic at
Logan will be substituted.
