rocks and in many places holes and

ac:oss the road I have always held
that it was useless to build what we
term permanent roads unless at the
same time some provision were made
for maintenance, and the GreenVilie
permanent road is good Illustration
of the position. When l was
over these roads in the early part OF
the year they were fine, but now they
are eaten in holes and the driving lover
them is difficult. The streets through
Fountain Inn and Simpsonville have
not improved either. The speed limit
is 10 miles the hour, and my friend
said he would try to make it, but in
the effort he knocked us about some
lite. P;ty we could not have a good
road from Newberry to the mountain
city.
Nv friend drove a Dodge runa5out
and it does run pretty and he did nos
change gear from Newberry to Green
Vile, which is most as good as III
does. Mr.. Friday who drove III to
Spartanburg said he did not change
gear from Newberry to Spartanburg
end there are more hills that way.
guess he drove with some momentum.
Leaving as early as we did of course
I thought we would get back in the
early afternoon, but after we got ous
some distance 1 was informed that
the meeting my friend was going 10
attend did not take place until 4:3O
in the afternoon. Just wanted to be
on time I reckon. But he went to
attend a very important nesting and
he turned the trick he went there to
turn
We had q nice steak at restaurant
On our arrival and we parted to meet
at the Imperial hotel at 12 o'clock.
After I was alone it occurred to me
that it was a very early hour for
lunch, but [ was there. I met Ed
! Blease and talked with him for an
hour but my friend failed to come. I
went over to see DR.. J. P. Carlisle
and had a tooth filed and went back
to the hotel, but saw no one l knew
| So I concluded that my friend had
: been temporarily lost and that I had
better lunch, which I did They
serve a good lunch at this hotel for
, Is cents. My friend, he lunched at
the same restaurant at which we had
breakfast, so l learned afterward.
had a pleasant half hour with
Geo. Koester of the Piedmont. He
says they have more than they car
do, and the place has the air Of pros
perity and the offices are nicely fitted
up and it looks like it would be a
pleasure to work there. I also spent
half hour with Col. Ryon McKissick
OF the Greenville News. He is ex-
pecting to join the army soon. hope
! the war will be so near over before
he can go that it will not be necessary
for him to leave, because he is too
good an editor to spoil by making a
colder of and then the newspapers
are an essential in the conduct of the
war and he should remain where he is
He has promised to come down to
Newberry before he enlists and take
g. trip with me to Musgrove's Mill
and Hayes Station where Bloody Bill
Cunningham got in some of his bloody
work and cut men to pieces with his
sword until he could not longer raise
his hand, even after he had promised
to trea.. them as prisoners of war on
their surrender. DR.. Van Smith is to
go with US. Hayes Station is in
Laurens county and so is Musgrove's
Mil. hope Col. McKissick will make
the trip before the roads get too bad
| l also saw Ned and Joe Brown and
passed the time of day with them
