A little more than year ago New
berry lost fine young physician and
most excellent citizen, DR.. W. E. Pei
ham, Jr., who was in the prime of
young manhood and who seemed the
picture of health to his friends, and
now just about year later the flu
claims another victim in one of our
more mature physicians though yet
young man and in vigorous health
as he appeared, in the death of DIR.
James K. Glider. If this life is for
service of your fellowman it does
seem strange dispensation of divine
power that two men 80 useful and
so full of service should be taken at
time when it seems to our finite minds
that their service to the community
and to humanity was so valuable and
80 much needed. But then this divine
providence doeth all things we'll and
what He doeth we know not now but
it shall all be revealed.

CHILDREN RAISE TRUCK.

We desire to call attention to an
article published in this issue show
ing what the Augusta children did in
the matter Of truck growing and the
plan pursued and to ask why could
not such an organization be made in
the town Of Newberry. The article
is taken from School Life.
It seems to US that 50 many chill
dren as were engaged in the business
should have made a better showing in
results, but it no doubt is true that
the garden plots were small. Such
an army could be mustered from the
school children Of Newberry. we be-
lieve could show greater results than
the 1000 did in Augusta. There are
plenty of garden plots around New
berry that would be available for
such work and it would not only be
profitable in the matter of the
amount received in cash from the
sale, but it would be helpful in the
training which it would give.
We should be able to muster into
service at least 500 children who
would be able to do garden work and
with proper leadership and direction
there is no telling the, results that
could be attained. And in this time
of the high price Of food and the
scarcity of many vegetables which
are healthy and for which a. ready
market may be had it would serve a
double purpose of giving employment
to the children and at the same time
supplying a great need in the COM
munity.
We would be glad to cooperate
w = some one or more in the organ
ization of this garden brigade. 1t
should include the children Of both
races in separate brigades of course,
and if properly handled would
be a great thing for the community.
We would be pleased to have COM
ments on the suggestions here made
which are not original but are sug-
gested from the article above re-
ferred to.

I have sever;' times called atten-

is getting worse every day, and soon
it will be in worse. condition than it
was before the five thousand per mile
was spent on it, unless something is
done to preserve the work that was
done by the builder. A portion of
it, as I have before remarked, is in
fine shape, but it seems to me that on
the portion that is getting in holes
there was not the proper kind of top
soil applied. And l can not under
stand why the engineer accepted it. |
understand that the work was under
the supervision of the government
engineer, and he certainly failed if he
accepted the portion to which we re-
fer, because any one can see that
where the right kind of top soil was
applied that the road is good, and
where it was not it is now in bad
condition. / presume the engineer di-
rected the selection of the top soil to
be used and that the builder followed
his directions. If not there was lit
tie use for an engineer. Go down
over the road and look at it for your
self.

built between Newberry and Prosper

built between Newberry and Prosper
ity was built by the supervisor, and
it would be very good road if a
few bad places had attention and the
split log drag was applied. That is
We mean the portion that was built
when the grade crossings were re-
moved. Just opposite the Fair place
is very bad hole and it will never be
otherwise until the road is properly
drained, and this could be done with
a very little work, and then the road
could be kept in good condition. But
such place should not be permitted
in as much travelled road as this one
when it could be so easily mended.
hope Supervisor Sample will stop
long enough to do this when he moves
down into the new territory, which
I understand he is going to do very
soon. And then give the entire road
between Newberry and Prosperity a
good dragging and it will be good
until the winter rains come again.
And this leads me to say that l
want to see Supervisor Sample take
his force down and do. some much
needed work on the road from Little
Mountain. to Chaplin covering that
section that has recently come to
Newberry from Lexington. This is
bad road row and needs attention
promptly. In fact it is almost i'm
passable. And then the road down
by Capers Chapel, which is now part
of Newberry, should be worked ont,
and suppose the road from Pomaria
to Peaks needs attention This Sec
ton Of Lexington county has not had
much attention given to the roads for
many years. In fast I do not recall
that any work has been done in this
section since the advent Of automo-
biles, that time covering: my knowl,,
edge of the roads in recent years: A
long time; ago I travelled these roads
some when the travel was by buggy
and wagon. These roads are narrow
and in bitches and yet even the appii-
cation of the split log drag would do
a great deal of good.
Another thing I could not under
stand, and that is why the way under
the Southern railway at Excelsior
school house has not been made, be-
cause the new road on the other side
down to Mr.. j. C. Singley's is wash
ing away and if not used there will
have to be another road built. Was
not this part of the contract in the
building of the road, or is it to be
extra, or is the railroad company to
have the work done? Whoever is
to do it should do it and let the en-
tire road be opened for travel.
There is some mighty fine looking
small grain down this side, but the
trouble is there is not enough of it.
Wonder to me is the farmers do not
plant more oats. You will see wagon
loads of hay going out from town
every day and the people Of this Sec
ton could grow all the feed they
need, and / do not believe it pays
farmer to buy feed even when prices
for hay and corn are much less than
what they are now, and I am very
sure with hay way up yonder and
corn more than two dollars the bushel
it does not pay even if cotton is sell
ing at 40 cents the pound. They
saw it cost that to make it, and l am
sure if it does cost anywhere in the
neighborhood of that price it does not
paw any farmer to raise cotton to
buy hay and corn at present prices.
