MASTER FEATS OF
THE RAILROAD WORLD

Six years ago the country rang with
the accomplishment of the most bril-
liant and efficient transcontinental rail
road building of history.
This year the eyes of the nation are
turned to an even more notable
achievement-the placing of 440 miles
of main line across the Continental
Divide under electrical operation.
Both achievements are work Of the
same railway it was the Chicago,
Milwaukee 81 st. Paul that set new
record in railway building, by con-
structing in less than three years a
splendid steel highway across the
plains, mountains, uplands and valleys
that lie between the Missouri River
and Puget Sound. With series of
brilliant engineering triumphs this new
steel highway was laid directly through
the heart of the Rocky, Bitter Root
and Cascade Mountains.
The result is that the "Milwaukee"
today is the shortest line to the Pacific
North Coast, with lowest grades and
easiest curves, and leads directly
through the greatest extent of noun
tain scenery on the continent.
Again it is the Milwaukee" that
definitely ushers in the new era in
railroading-the era of the electric To-
connective. Already 1.-The Olympian"
and 1.-The Columbian" are being oper-
ated electrically over the first COM
pleted unit of 115 miles, and soon they
will be SO operated over the entire cleo
trifed district, extending from Harlow
ton, Montana, to Avery, Idaho, a
distance of 440 miles.
1t has always been the aim of this
railway to furnish service better than
the best obtainable elsewhere. Every
travel delight and comfort is yours if
you travel on the milwaukee" to the
Pacific North Coast.
For literature and full information,
apply to local ticket agent of this rail
way.

Gov. Manning announces that he
will hold the gallon a month law in
allegiance and let it stand at that. He
says that ia. his judgment the 1a/.as
it stands Will promote temperance.
The legislature reduced the amount
to two quarts month But it ad
ded the privilege of sixty pints Of
beer a month instead of the two
quarts. Go on, governor, and sign
the bill, We have decided that We
don't care for the beer We are Gow
convinced that it is best for US to
be a real prohibitionist and not a
political one. If reducing the guam
tity to a gallon a month will promote
temperance why woulda't reducing
the quantity to two quarts month
the more promote the cause of tenn
perance. We heard a Charleston gen.
tleman say the other day that he had
measured it out and the gallon
month just gave him his two drinks
a day and did not leave any for his
friends and just what he would do If
the governor should determine later
that it would be good to reduce the
quantity, We do not know. And he
didn't.

CALL TO DEMOCRATIC CLUBS

By authority Of the Democratic
Executive committee and in pursu-
ance of the constitution of the Demo
cratic party and in accordance with
the statute law of the State, county
conveation of the party is hereby call
ed to meet at the court house at
Newberry at y o'clock noon on Mon
day May l, 1915.
By the same authority the Demo
cratic clubs are hereby called to
meet at their respective places of
meeting on Saturday, April %, 1916,
for the purpose of reorganizing, elect
ing delegates to the county conven-
ton and recommending member OF
the executive committee and such 9th
er business as may come before the

posed of delegates from the clubs IN

We find the following two para
graphs in the editorial columns Of the
Spartalburg Herald:
If the women of spartanburg vot-
ed, We would have had city mar
ket. We would have had a district
nurse, We would have had parks and
Fairgrounds. We are for votes for
women
"The women of Spartanhurg-
bless them-are always willing and
ready to do 9S per cent of all the work
there is to be done for every worthy
cause"
And We desire to sy the smae thing
about the good women of Newberry,
If it were left to them We would have
Rosemont cemetery in much better
appearance than it is, and We would
have had that park long ago. And We
would have fine library in this
town and We do mot belie7e they
would raise the taxes one whit to &C
complish these good things.
The Herald and News took two or
three mighty good women to lander
son years ago TO look over the civic
Improvements that were being under
taken at that time la that good town,
and the result of that visit was the
beginning of cur civic association
and it has been doing some mighty
good work, but lacks the cooperation
of the men in the way they should
cooperate.
Some of the mea ought to go over
to Greenwood and see what that town
is doing in the way of public i'm
provements. 1t would do them good
and maybe be an inspiration to them
to wake up and do something for this
town.

We agree with the Greenville Pied
mont that it is not altogether in ac-
cord with our views of the province
of go6 ernment for the State to go ia
to the insurance business but, as the

State insurance will be permission
to insurance companies to combine to
sell insurance in this State with no
restrictions upon price"

in the interest OF temperance
But the governor is still AesitVjns
and says that he Will not sign it un-
less conditions arise which in ms
judgment would make it advisable. He
signs other bills and says that he
does so because the legislature passed
them and is responsible to the people
for them.
