Occasions now and then occur
in the great commonwealth that
mark mile post on life's high
way. Pleasing incidents so thrill
ing that we are charmed, even fac
mated and spell bound, and made
to wonder if it is real or only a
dream.
The pretty town of Murphey-a
city in minature-situated most
delightfully."- amid the mountains
of North Carolina, enjoyed a red
letter day on the 18th of August,
1917. The occasion was the un-
yelling q beautiful fountain placed
on the public square by the Wom-
ans Club in memory of Judge
Archibald D. Murphey, for whom
this town was named. Thus fit
tingly recording their admiration
for this great and good man. The
exercises were so beautiful. i'm
pressive and entertaining, that
the occasion ought not to pass
without notice.
Mrs. oliver Kinsey, former Pres
ident of the Club, presented the
fountain to the Mayor of the City
and in behalf of che city the May
or aSeepted 1t ia few well timed
and appropriate remarks. Mrs.
Kinsey's presentation speech was
ornate, impressive and beautiful,
and was later characterized by one
of the subsequent speakers as
Bunch of Roses; recounting and
giving proper credit to the devoted
members of the Club for their
combined efforts to secure this
handsome token, of appreciation
dedicated to the memory of this
noted jurist and educator. She
was followed by Hon. J. III. billiard,
who was the orator of the occasion.
He appropriately and fittingly
traced the history OF this great
North Carolinian from the morn
ing to the evening of his life. In
a we'll modulated voice, his speech |
was marked by deep pathos, and at |
all times eloquent, while the great |
audience responded enthusiastical-
ly to his grand periorations.
The Woman's Club was seated
on an improvised stage under the
shade of those great elms on the
public square. Hundreds of people
nestled about this stand, flags were
waving in the glad sunlight, auto
mobiles were parked in a semicir-
Gle, and the school children of the
city thronged the vacant spaces
about the stage and square. Sweet
ly and softly these children sang
the "Old North State" and the
vast crowd joined in the chorus,
while just in front stood this ex-
quisite pink colored marble shaft
with snow white vase, gurgling
from it's summit pure water from
the mountain that fell like bridal
veil over the base. Pure as linn
pid stream, clean as the ch1zel
marble are the hearts and motives
of those patriotic women, who
made it possible that this splendid
fountain stands in the public
square of Murphy, North Carolina,
today.

Of providing a sinking fund, as We
understand the law, and Of making IL
optional to take up some of the bonds
was to use the sinking fund in pay

We were just in the act of saying
that we had been reading with great
deal of interest the paragraphs in the
Pickens Sentinel, and to add, without
making comparisons, we had reached
the conclusion that they were the
brightest and most original of any
in the State now since our friend Bob
Gonzales has left US, and here comes
the Sentinel copying what we said
about Ed DeCamp and putting this
head over it: BRO. Aull cusses
some.'' What do you think of that?
With all our bad habits we could new
er be accused of "cussing."
Anyhow We are going to say that
the paragraphs of the Sentinel are
always good and spicy and original
and we would be glad to see the young
man have the opportunity to develop
that talent in field where he would
not have to be a man of all work. as
all country editors must Of necessity
be.

During the session of the legiSla-
ture We published the proposed bin
to order an election in Cromer town.
ship on voting $4,000 in bonds to
build roads in that township. We
stated that there were 70 be one or
two amendments. AS this is an i'm
portant matter we asked the secre-
tary of state to send US a copy of the
bill as 1t finally passed, and he very
kindly did. We print the act today
as it was approved by the governor.
The election is to be held on the 9Th
of April and is to be advertised for
three weeks. The supervisor is to
advertise the election and appoint the
managers and to receive the returns.
but is to have nothing to do with the
building of the roads.
If these bonds should be voted it
should give about $500 to the mile OF
road in that township, and that should
build some pretty good sand and clay
roads. We should not think there
are over 80 miles of road in the town
ship. If the bill had provided for
one or two men on the commission
from the Beth Eden side Of the town
ship, and had provided also for the
supervisor and commissioners on the
commission, we believe it would have
been better and the bonds would have
stood a better chance of being voted.
We suppose the township would be
entitled to some of the government
money and part of the automobile tax
and with all the help they could get
they should be able to put all the
roads in fine condition.
We would like to see the bonds vot-
ed. If the money was properly and
wisely expended practically all Of the
roads in the township could be sand
clay and gravel and 1t would be a
forward move. And then there should
be some provision for their upkeep.
No use to build roads unless you are
going to provide for their mainten-
ance. The bill should have provided
that the money be spent under the
supervision and direction of compe-
tent road engineer. If they should
get any of the government money that
is what will have to be done.

pay them. Better turn the securities

Commenting upon what The Herald
and News said about that change in
the schedule on the Southern between
Greenville and Columbia the Green
wood Journal says:
1--WE have wondered many times
why the Southern did not so arrange
its schedules as to allow persons TO
go to the capital, spend some time
and return the same day. II this
were done, we believe it would great
ly increase travel over this road. AS
the present schedule is arranged, it is
necessary to spend a night in Colum-
bia. It takes practically two days TO
do what could be easily done in a
few hours. But we remember Wnen
the Southern made a change in Its
schedules a few years ago people
along the line went nearly frantic
about It, and the road had no rest
until it went back to the same old
schedule that has been in operation
from time immemorial. We hope
our Newberry friend will do what he
can to get better opportunities for
reaching Columbia from the up coun-
try so as to permit persons To go
there and return the same day"
I'VE believe if we could get the
towns along the road to agree to come
together and make the request for
this change in the schedule that the
railroad authorities would give it fav-
orable consideration. A meeting at
Greenwood some time in the near fu-
ture would be good thing. Or we
would be glad to see the meeting In
Newberry. Columbia should be In
terested in this proposition and as
Columbia has a chamber of commerce
il should be easy for her to have a
representative at the meeting and
Greenville should he interested. How
about getting a meeting some time
in the near future and asking some
OF the officials of the road to meet
with US and talk the matter over. The
Columbia representatives could come
I'D in the morning and return in the
afternoon and the Greenville people
could come down in the morning and
return in the afternoon. Suppose the
Journal call the meeting. We Will
try to get some representative from
Newberry and we will come if the
meeting is not called for Monday Or
Thursday.
