doubtful il any of them were more
versatile or clever than the quintet
which presented the first part of
Friday evenings program. There
were three young ladies and two men
and they could do everything must
cal; they played saxophoneS with all
the walls and means of which that
clown of instruments is capable:
they played trombones when they
tired of the other and varied the
program with trumpets and comets:
they played the piano, three at a
time. in duets and singly; they
sans;~they made recitatives. as it
were, out Of popular songs. and they
chewed gum. Not all the time. but
when the music demanded il. They
were busy and full of pep, and their
hearers were kept busy listening to
them and wondering what they were
likely to do next.

is a safe guess that il did. People
don't sing the Suwanee River up
North the way they did. This was
the prologue to the second part of
the program and was sung entirely
behind the scenes. with the hall in
semi darkness. 1t was most effec-
tive. The company included three
women and four men. all of whom
showed that they possessed voices of
wide range and power and of that
peculiar meilowness that is native to
the Southland. The frst number on
their program was an ambitious of

scope for the fun play of their voices.

THE ROAD BONDS.

The Herald and News has given q
rather extended and detailed account
of the members of the state highway
commission held in the court house
Friday, and the plans proposed by
the commission in accordance with
the act of the legislature reorganlz-
ing the state highway COMMISSION,
aud also the discussion of the pro-
posed bond issue for this county to
which the talks at the meeting drift
ed. We are doing this as neWspa-
per and for the information OF our
readers so that the people may have
all the light there is possible in re-
gard to the matter.
The Herald and News is neither
advocating nor opposing the bond Is
sue. To be perfectly frank we are
not fully persuaded in our own mlnd
what is best at this time, and, there
fore we are neither opposing nor ad-
vocating the measure, but Will De
satisfied with whatever verdict the
people may render on the issue. VI
course every one knows who has fead
The Herald and News that good
roads is one of our hobbies, and we
know that we can rot have good
roads without money, and yet we
hate to see money spent and no
roads result. Our other hobby is
good schools, particularly the I'M
rroyement of the rural schools and
that has been one Of our hobbies for
many years.
All the acts of the legislature re-
lating to the bond issue and the
change in the county government Tor
Newberry county have been publish
ed in The Herald and News. And
we are giving a full report OF the
meeting at which the members OF the
state highway commission attended
and the discussion relating to the
bond act and the people can judge
for themselves what they want. to do.

Wonder what the chamber of COM
merce has done about that recon-
mendation to take up the matter of a
belt line of road from Newberry to
Whitmire. The recommendation was
that this be done first and that a
committee be appointed from the
Newberry chamber to confer with a
committee from Whitmire and then
take up the whole matter with the
county officials. This is very I'M
portant work. 1t would not inter-
fere in the least with anything that
may be done by the highway commits
sion, but would help in the work of
the commission.

Wonder if any one has thought
about what fine time this is to use
the split log drag. 1t would do good
and just because there has been a
lot of hot air about a system of roads
and state maintenance and chain
to connect the counties and the vot-
ing of bonds should be no reason to
forget or to desert the old split log
drag. It will do good even in these
times if properly applied. Try it.

President Wright of the NeWberry
Cotton mill says that our information
as to cotton goods is incorrect, that
there has been decided decline IN
the price, that there has been re-
duction Of 35 cents the pound on
goods. And that in fact just now
there is no market for the goods at
all. that he has not sold any in sew
eral weeks. We make this statement
for the reason that we have no de-
sire to misrepresent the mills at all.
In fact we are glad to see the mills
make money, because the Southern
mills have been worth whole lot to
the prosperity of the country, but 1t
has seemed to us that the profits for
the past few years to the mills have
been out of proportion to the profit
received by the producer, even with
40 cents cotton.
Mr.. Wright says that there always
has been an off market both for the
cotton and the manufactured article
about this time in the year and that
he hopes and expects to see q re-
vival of business along these lines IN
September and October and hat
trade will be much better about that
time.

Yes, Nelly dear, the editor regrets
very much that he did not get to see
YOU when he was down on that side,
and also that we missed connection
on the fish trip, though just between
US, he does not mind that so much,
except that he missed meeting the
good people who were to go on the
trip and he also missed the good
things they had to eat, but, heaven
knows, he had plenty to eat while
down that side. Now, as to coming
within half mile Of your home we
were so informed, but we were also
told that this road down to your
house was not the best in the world,
and then we just took it for granted
that you too had gone out to Chapn
that afternoon as it seemed that all
your neighbors had gone. But we
are coming again and we sure are
going to see you and many more
whom we missed on this trip. You
know the caravan is to arrive at
Latikoo Wednesday, the 25th, and
we expect to be along and we hope
to see you at that time, and then we
will be in position to talk to you and
the others about what time it will
suit for US to enjoy some of that
good cooking about which you speak,
and of which we have knowledge.

a better grade on which to locate the
road when we come to build it, be-
cause certainly the road should be
located differently before much ef-

does seem that some of those high
