Dear Sir-To show you that l

of this sheet will help to testify.
This was clipped from the paper

may mistake the meaning Of the
quotation above but if it is meant
that eggs are Is cents per dozen in
Delaware I would be obliged if you
will tell me just whereabouts in
Delaware / can procure them at that
figure. I eat three boiled eggs for
my breakfast every morning, except
Sunday morning, but I have never
been able to obtain good eggs at Is
cents per dozen. More like Is cents
apiece all winter.
I am anxiously awaiting the next

HOW THEY BUILD ROADS
DOWN IN GEORGIA
\ A Newberry Boy Writes Interesting
Letter Telling OF the Good Roads
Down in Georgia.

The editor has received letter
from his young cousin, Hubert
Aull, who is teaching down in States
boro, Ga, and we are taking the
liberty of printing the greater part
of it because it deals with a subject
which should be Of great interest to
the people of this county. This thing
of building some worth while roads
is very important matter and the
people should begin to realize that
we have reached that point in our
civilization when we must do some
thing to improve the roads. The
people are ready and are interested
but the question of just how to go
about it is the big question. we
must make provision for the main
tenance of the roads when we build
them or the money will be practically
wasted that we spend.
We are glad to know that Humbert
is getting along all right. He says
he is we'll and happy and he should
desire nothing greater than health
and happiness.
. His reference to Clemson should be
understood and the understanding is
that he is graduate of Clemson and
we are glad to see him stand by and
be interested in his alma mater. We
do love to see loyalty to school and
to home and to family. The boy
who isn't will not amount to
great deal in the great battle Of
life.

Emma Goldman

| saw fair Emma leave Our
shores, and Grape was festooned
on her lid; she sailed with many
other bores who talked too
much, as Emma did She stood
upon the vessels prov, that time
the siren gave three boots, and
shrieked to us. Il leave you now,
but I'll come back, you bet your
boots!" Alas, it was an idle
threat. though hurled at us with
force and vim; the oceans deep
and wide and wet, and poor old
Emma cannot swim. Thus sailed
away a brainy dame who might
have ranked among the great,
and figured in our Hall of Fame,
had she but had her head on
straight. She went around de-
nouncing things and telling peo-
pie they were slaves, the bond
men of the money kings and
other plutocratic knaves. Her
whole existence was a knock,
she had the morals of a dip; and
now, because she couldn't walk,
she's crossed the ocean in ship.
We couldn't shoe her off the
earth, but we did shoe her off
this shore, which tribute to her
sterling worth appeared to make
old Emma sore. So fare thee
well, o Emma dear, may you
keep fat in other lands; we're
tired of locoed ladies here, who
talk of bombs and burning
brands. WALT MASON.

WHY RAILWAY RATES RAISE NECESSARY

Everybody knows that we must pay more to
railway workers. But during the period of govern
ment management Of the railways not half of the
normal quantity Of rolling stock was purchased.
Old equipment wore out Several hundred thou
sands of new freight cars are needed thousands of
passenger cars, and a great number of engines, The
roads unable to make expenses without added
rates, and of course could not borrow money to
purchase equipment that costs double pre-war
prices without assurance of being able to earn in
terest and pay for rolling stock. To establish
credit for the railways the government guarantees
six per cent earnings for brief period, and TO en-
able the roads to make such earnings raises rates
to cover higher wages for workers and to provide
for purchasing equipment With such backing the
railways are now preparing TO borrow needed money
but must pay from to per cent interest they say.
They to offer approximately four hundred
million dollars worth of securities, bearing at least
per cent, for sale within the next few months it
has been learned The proceeds~of this sale will be
used to buy new equipment It's believed the roads
will spend between six and seven hundred million
dollars for new equipment before January
Director Parmaee of the bureau of railroad eco
Monies declared, however, that most Of the money
will be spent for repairs during the remainder of
the year.
Lack of equipment is causing railways to run
behind in receipts. but the loss to shippers and con-
sumers who cannot get service is in the millions
Everybody is paying higher costs for almost ev-
necessity of life because Of impeded transpora
ton making commodities scarce and more expensive.
All of us will have to bear added expense for freight
and travel, but without paying it would have to
on for years before the transportation difficulty
would be overcome and markets get back to normal
through greater production and distribution.
The advocates of government ownership say that
buying the roads, under the Plumb plan some
other would end the trouble. But certainly it would
not end anything The money to equip the roads
would have to be raised at once by increased trans
portaton rates, Just as is to be done by Dor
rowing certificates as the treasury is doing, at
per cent.
We would have to pay back the sums in taxes, if
not in freight rates. And also would have to borrow
anywhere from twelve to twenty billions of dollars
to pay for the roads through selling bonds or ex
changing them for the lines Such bonds would not
be accepted at face value unless they bore G
per cent interest. and perhaps be tax free.
The people are not now for creating any more
public debt. They would rather pay in transporta-
ton charges enough to enable roads to be more
servicable and let the owners keep the lines ana
do the best they can under government regulations
