A special from Columbia to the
Spartanburg Herald says that the
million dollar bond issue for the
building of roads in that county has
been passed and is only waiting the
signature Of the governor which the
delegation has the assurance will be
given as soon as the bill is present
ed to him.
This special also says that pro-
posed bond issue for a high school
building in the Spartanburg school
district has been held UP until the
next session to see if the amount can
be put on within the constitutional
limitation In this connection Sena-
tor Rogers is quoted as saying: I'VE
are going to have roads in Spartan
burg county first" That sounds like
business, and We do not know any
slogan that could be better used by
any progressive people than that one.
eve are going to have roads first"
When they get roads that are roads
all these other things will come.
Some fourteen years ago this edt-
tor then a member of the legislature
introduced a bill in the legislature to
vote on the question of issuing bonds
for road building in every county IN
the State and providing for high
way commission. OF course it was
killed. The bill was written for uE
by Col. o. L. Schumpert. Just an
other illustration that me and Bry,
an" are some fifteen years ahead Of
our time.
Some years later We did get bill
through to vote bonds in No. 6 town
ship to build roads, but the people
would not. Now there is bill te
vote on the question in No. town
ship. We hope the people will, but
there is an element of doubt about
it. We would be glad to see the work
going on all over the county.

MORE THAN "GOOD RESOLVES
NEEDED TO GET OTT OF DEBT

In the March V-oman's Home Com
panion is an interesting article on
debt and how to get out of it by q
woman who was almost ruined by her
husbands carelessness and extrava-
gance. Among other things she saza:
eff family that has been living
outside its income wants to start to
live inside, something more than q
good resolve is necessary. Usually
that man and woman have got to form
wholly new circle of friends. They
must leave those who are living out
side, and take up their abode among
those who are living inside. Man is 8
gregarious animal. His will-power
needs all the help it can get from a
congenial and approving public opin-
ion."

In speaking OF the increase, or
rather the putting back in the bill
over in the senate of the $4,000 for
law enforcement at the disposal of
the governor, the chairman of the f.
nance committee is reported in The
State as saying: 'tChief argument
offered by the committee chairman
(Mr. Christensen) for the fund was
no money for the enforcemnt OF t;c
liquor laws was utilized early in the
year, but $4,000 was expended after
August, when the Illegal traffic had
been placed on an established basis"
That was about the time the cam
paign got rather warm and there was
that no money for the enforcement Of
the liquor laws was utilized early in
the year, but $4,000 was expended az
ter August, when the illegal traffic had
more need of the consiabulary. We
do not understand exactly what the
chairman means by the illegal traf-
fc'' being placed on "an established
basis" There will be no campaign
this year and maybe there will not be
any great need for the use of the
fund.

Just as We said last week about
the appropriation bill. The house
would refuse to concur in the senate
amendments for the increase in the
bill and the whole matter would go
to free conference and the committee
would be appointed that would favor
whatever the governor and the au-
thorities wanted On the committee
from the senate are Christensen and
Johnstone and from the house Lilies
and Cothran and one other member
from each house but these four will
control and they will agree to the in
creases and whatever the governor
wants. And the bill will finally pass
with the senate amendments and the
increase in the levy.

The free conference committee on
the liquor matter, we would judge
from the names of the committee will.
bring in compromise bill reducing
the quantity and allowing substi-
tute for liquor in the shape of wine
and beer. we notice that our repre-
sentative, H. H. Evans wants to SUBJ
NIT three propositions to the people
in a primary-straight prohibition,
gallon-a-month and a license system
under dispencary regulations, the
election to be held next August. The
present legislature will not do that
and neither do We believe that it will
pass a bone dry" law.

There is difference Of opinion
among the farmers as to the damage
by the cold to the small grain. Most
OF them seem to be agreed that while
the wheat is damaged it is not killed
Some say that the oat crop is ruined
we were talking to a farmer on Sat-
urday who said that he had gone in
his oat field and he seemed to be Of
the opinion that his crop would be
all right. Others say that the crop is
entirely gone. 1t will take some time
to find out just how badly it is DAM
aged. After the ground warns up
under the sun and the grain is given
time to come out it may be found that
the damage is not as bad as at first
feared.
At any rate it would be well to be
prepared to plant more oats if it
should be found that the crop is kill
ed, 1t is not too late to make oats
if the seasons are good and the rain
should cease in time to pant.

If the Newberry delegation had just
passed some law to require the roads
to be dragged, and then provided a
sum to pay the cost, we would be very
we'll satisfied with the work of the
session. That's what We need. Drag
the roads and then drag them some
more the next rain, and We would
soon have some pretty good roads
in this county. Did you just notice
how much little dragging of the
streets the past week helped them?
II not you have lost a fine opportuni-
ty to see what the drag Will do for
the roads.

That was close call for Col. A.
A. Richardson for game warden. The
bill retaining him in Office passed the
house by majority OF only one vote
Ii the governor should veto the bill
then he would have to follow the rec
ommendation of the Audubon society
and appoint Col. Richardson and so
it has left him hole, and COL Rich
ardson on the job.
If our recollection is not at fault
the same thing was done in the mat
ter Of Col. Watson when Blease was
governor. 1t was limited that Blease
would not reappoint Col Watson as
commissioner of agriculture and in
order to hold the job for Col. Watson
the legislature passed an act making
the Office elective by the people and
he held over until the election the
coming summer. Chickens will come
home to roost' and history repeats
itself. So far as we are concerned we
would have appointed Col. Watson to
the place because he was and is max
ing fine officer, and We would ap-
point COL Richardson because those
who seem to know say that he is MAX
ing fine game warden. But this
action by the legislature is not novel,
or without precedent.

Talking about the creamery and th5
profit in COWS Dr. W. G. Brown ono
OF our progressive farmers, has beea
figuring on the milk proposition some
little and has himself ordered sever
al fine Jerseys. He says that five
COWS that will give an average Of two
gallons of milk a day would be a
profitable investment even if one HAD
to buy practically all OF the feed.
He says that the milk can be sold
T. O. b. Newberry at 50 cents a gal
lon. That one ton Of meal and one
ton of hulls at $1,000 a ton each would
supply food for one COW year. 1t
would figure something like this:
10 gallons OF milk day at
80 cents for 800 days -. .$1,095.0 90

Wherever lnbor agitators are few.

be CLEANED from the remarkable Indus.
trial growth In the Borough of Queens
New York City. as shown by the o..
ures recently complied by the Bureao
OF Census for the year 101A
The figures record q decided gain
not only In the number OF new faofo
ries. capital Invested In manufactur.
ing, and the value of manufactured
products, but also In the sum total OF
salaries and wages and the number Of
salaried employees and wage earners
since the taking OF the last census In
1909. From u percentage standpoint
the increase over the several Items
was as follows;
salaried employees. 62.7 per cent: sci.
aries. COS per cent: wages. Be- per cent.
wage carriers. 3o.T per cent; capital Ia
vested, % per cent: number Of facto-
ries, 26.G per cent: value of products
e.6 per cent
While complete figures have not Leen
published as jet for all the cities aud
States. still from the figures that are
now available II Is evident that the
Borough of Queens for the year 1914
exceeded In the value of Its manufac-
tured products many States OF the
