MOUNTAIN HIGHWAY


4hirg that vii, put tier town on tie
may, and for this spirit they are to
be commended. If there is a railroad
20, a trolley line or q national high
way scouting around anywhere the
people of this live town Immediately
get busy and make united efforts t.
bring it their way, and they have been
remarkably successful, and for the
reason that they pull together for the
town, and they have demonstrate
that it pays to get all the railroads
they can. These various railroads
hare made the town, and the people
are not afraid that little town will
spring up, and that there will be 8
store or two built, and maybe some
one who will sell a paper Of pins that
might have been sold by some mer-
chant in Greenwood.
The point of this is that these same
people are now going after one o. the
mountain highways and making ef-
forts to divert it from Columbia and
and the other towns along
the way and to have the highway from
Florida and Augusta come via Green
wood to Greenyille instead Of by Co.
lumbia and then by the Piedmont high
way or the Appalachian to the noun
tain Fairgrounds.
The road from Augusta to Columbia
We understand is a good one, From
Columbia to the mountains, either via
Greenville or Spartanburg, the ma
tural highway is via. Newberry, and
from here either via. the Appalachian
highway or the Piedmont highway.
The former to Spartanburg and the
Piedmont to GreenTille. 1t is very
little, if any, :urther from Newberry
to Greenville than it IS from Green
wood to Greenville. And there is no
comparison in the natural condition
OF the road. From here to Green
Vile via. Laurens the road is on a
ridge all the way and there are very
few hills and no streams until you
reach Greenville. The road to Spar
tanburg via. whitmire and Union and
Glenn Springs is being made one OF
the bestNroads in the State, and the
distance from Newberry to Spartan
burg is about the same as the dis
tance to Granville. The road from
here to Columbia is fine with the ex-
ception of about five miles from Little
to Chaplin and from Pros
perity to Little Mountain. What we
are writing this for is to see if we
cannot interest the people of Newber-
ry and Prosperity and Little Noun
tain and Chaplin and Columbia and
I4aurens and Clinton and Spartanburg
and Union and Whitmire and all the
rest of US around here to get behind
the supervisors of Lexington and
Newberry and see if we cannot get
the people to get together and make
some effort to have the main highway
from Florida around by Columbia and
then over the Piedmont or the Ap-
palachian highway to the mountains,
instead of going p Greenwood, or if
the Greenwood people want to get
and do get a good road that way let US
have one just as good or little bet
ter, and then the tourists may take
their choice. But to secure this travel
there must be something done to the
sections of the road to which we have
referred.
Or if the Florida tourists did not
care to go by Columbia to reach the
they could come from Au-
gusta via. Leesville and cross the sa-
luda at what We call the lower steel
bridge and come in by Prosperity, and
that is fine road now all the way to
