tract roads would approach nearer
the ideal. But at present we are not
equal to that task. So why aim high

roads only imaginary unless they be
macadamized? Is good roads for
Newberry county only a Utopian
dream? I think not.
Then why not realize them? Peo-
pie, to use the words of another, "the
dignity of labor needs to be proclaim

to put those drives across. They got

Including those of business estab-

farmers and everything else-would
take his team, truck, drag, plow, pick,
axe or shovel and actually work a
couple days on the road adjacent to
his location or over which his vehicle
travels, we would have good roads.

The Kaiser of Newberry County.
Editor The Herald and News:

When we recall how the German
people were sleeping while their
Kaiser was steering the ship Of ruin,
we stand amazed at their folly. But,
people of Newberry county, suppose
we come to halt and find our bear
ing. We may be committing just as
folly a folly as they were. In fact,
we are. Another people is asleep:
Another ship is going to ruin. There
is another Kaiser. We, the people
of Newberry county, are asleep. Our
ship of economy and progress is not
drifting, but speeding away to de-
struction. While the kaiser of New
berry county, namely, disgusting
roadside it clearly understood-is
steering that ship. Now, fellow coun-
trymen-and exclude neither
townsmen nor countrymen-"the
pot cannot call the kettle black" Be-
fore we stand in awe at Germany's
folly and. wonder where her discre-
ton was, we had better clean up our
own house and ask ourselves where
is our good judgment. We had BET
ter efface the stain Of our own
guilt for it is just as foolish, If 1t
must be said, for us to allow the
Kaiser Of Newberry county, disgust
ing roads, to steer our ship Of econ
omy and progress to ruin as it was
for the German people to let their
Kaiser steer the ship of state to in
evitable and just depression.
This is the age of machines and
other vehicles. The automobile and
trucks are here and here to stay.
From the viewpoint Of permanency
and prevalence, the motor-driven We
hicle is the king of travel and will
retain it's throne. But there are
many owners of buggies and wagons
we commend them for holding to
them under the present conditions
and for years there will be buggies
and wagons. But we exclude no
owners of any kind of a vehicle. Let
US ask this question: How far will
we allow our Kaiser to steer the ship?
There is nothing under heaven that
would justify such roads unless it be
a perfectly safe and free airship line.
Fellow-countrymen, please show me
where there is any philosophy, logic,
prudence, economy, progress, busi-
ness or anything else but folly in pay
ing from $3.50 to $4,000 for an auto
mobile, from $500 to $4,000 for a
truck, from $50 to 5000 for buggy
or wagon and then rob it of three
fourths it's days by running it over
such streets as we have. Believe me,
if something isn't done, shis county
will have to bow its head beneath the
yoke. Ware and store houses will be
crowded out by garages and black

SUNDAY SCHOOL NORMAL
HOLDS SUCCESSFUL SESSION
More Than 200 in Attendance.
Everyone Enthusiastic and Talk
ing About Plans for An
other Year.

The Sunday school normal which
has been in session at Newberry COL
lege has had a very successful week.
The attendance is fine and the inter-
est grows from year to year. There
are in attendance this weel: accord
ing to enrolment list almost two hun
dred. The lectures have been fine
and especially has there been great
spirit in the singing as conducted by
Miss Hyams. A new hymnal is to be
put. in use in the Sunday schools and
the work of Miss Hyams was to in
struct in the use of the new music.
DR.. Gerberding and DR.. Learner
and DR.. Seegers and DR.. Voigt and
DR.. Mccullough and DR.. Settler and
the other teachers have been doing
hard work and the visitor students
have been attentive and good listen
ers and all of them speak in the high
est terms of the lectures and the in
struction.
The pupils have come from Aiken
and Charleston and Richland and
Lexington and Walhalla and from all
parts of the State where there are
Lutherans, and some of the pupils
are of other denominations. Mrs.
H. L. Parr remarked that the funda-
mental principles of religion and of
religious life and instruction should
be the same in all of the Christian
denominations, and she was getting
lots of good from the normal. That
is the right spirit and the only spirit
that will save the world.
The visitor students are living in
the dormitory and are taking their
meals at the college boarding hall
presided over by Mrs. A. c. Haiti
wanger,. and the marvel is how she
can provide so easily and so well for
the near two hundred who eat at the
table she spreads. And they all say
that she is doing the job as it should
be done, and to the satisfaction Of
all the visitor students. President
Derrick says that she is almost in
dispensable in the running of the col
lege successfully, because as mat
ter of fact good boarding hall is a
very important part in making sat-
isfied student.
The course takes in all branches
of Sunday school work and the live
Sunday school officer or teacher can
ill-afford to miss this course. Many
of the students have driven in from
the country and returned to their
homes at night 1t has been very
decided success and already they are
talking about the improvements and
arrangements for the session next
year.
President Derrick as most mas Deen
very busy all the week in an effort
to see that every one who is attend
ing the normal has all the informa-
tion and help that he or she needs to
make the stay in Newberry pleasant
as well as profitable.
This is a most delightful place for
the holding of such normal school.
The recitation rooms and the auditor
ium are used for class room work and
for lectures and the large campus is
a most delightful place over which
to roam and on which to lounge and
rest when the work day is over, and
we are sure that the visitor students
have enjoyed it.
