he was associating in his mind Sardis

SEEK CAMP SITE
NEAR NEWBERRY
Colonel Halstead Looks for Place
for Eleventh Infantry to
: Stop

Col. Frank Halstead and his staff
were in Newberry Friday afternoon
looking for a suitable place some
where in or near the city for a camp
for the eleventh infantry. on its march
from Camp Jackson to CINCINNATI,
Ohio. According to orders, the Elev-
ent..: infantry will leaves Camp Jack
son the 18th of September. That
night they will camp somewhere be-
tween Columbia and Newberry, at or
near Little Mountain. The next night
the 9Th, they want to pitch their tents
at Newberry. 1t is probable the reg
iment will spend the night Of the 9Th
and the day and night of the 7th here,
because the state convention of the
American Legion will be in session
here the 7th and 9th. There are
500 men in the regiment.
The officers looked at several elig-
ible spots in or adjacent to the city
for a camp, and will select the most
available one seen.
Among the sites visited by the of
Ificers were the chautauqua grounds
on College street near Scott's creek,
the large field on the same street be-
tween the college campus and Rose
mont cemetery and the Wells field
opposite to that. The selection of the
spot will be left in the hands of the
Newberry chamber of commerce.

roads. AS to thai rumor or state
ment that the contractor on the Glo-
son road had been instructed not ID
plow up and mix the top soil, but
simply put it down and grade the
road. I asked Chairman Boulware OF
the highway commission and ne SAID
he Cd not know anything about IT..
Well. I hope it is incorrect, but the
information came very straight that
the chief engineer had gone out and
told the contractor not to plow and
mix the top soil any further out, but
simply to grade out and put down the
topsoil such as it was. That means no
road and wasting of the public
money. and besides the taking from
the people the rights of way and
leaving a worse road than the ola
one, because if the top soil is not
properly mixed and the read plowed

DR.. Hallman paid fine tribute to
i DR.. Sigh and some of the other min
isters who had served the congrega-
tion, and to the laymen who had been
faithful.
! There was recess for dinner, and
the long table under the oaks was
spread, and the dinner placed there
on, and there was plenty to feed the
multitude and much left over. This
congregation and these people are
noted for the many good things they
have to eat, and they have them al
ways in abundance, and it is we'll
prepared. and they are so nice in
serving it to the stranger, or rather
the visitors who may come to the
meetings, and so attentive to them
that it makes one always feed that he
is glad he was present, and you know
that is the right way to do. A couple
hours were spent in talking together
and eating, and then in the afternoon
the congregation assembled in the
church again, and an address was de-
livered by Dr.. S. J. Derrick, .presi-
dent of Newberry college.
DR.. Derrick recounted many incl
dents in his personal experience in
connection with this congregation and
the people of the community, all OF
which was interesting and instructive
and helpful. He then made strong
plea for the education of the children
of this day, and pointed out to the
people in words that could not be
misunderstood the great and vital i'm
portance of it, and also the value of
the Christian college and the work
it is doing.
: Altogether this was most delight
J. full and helpful day to those who were
SO fortunate as to be there, and l
hope and trust that the good custom
of observing old folks day will be
kept up from year to year, and that
the committee on arrangements and
program may be so fortunate as to
have such a fine program every year
as the one this year.
t 1t is always a pleasure for me to
attend service at this church, and to
mingle with the people who live in
the community. Associations and
memor.Gs come that are pleasant am
believe helpful. This is one of the
old churches in the county and the
school at this place is also an old one,
and I want to get some one to write
the history of this school so that l
may put it along with the others, and
make up my book of school histories
for the schools of NewbeIry county.
There was a time when the children
came to school at this place from be-
yond Jolly Street and from Mt. Pill
grim ard Mt Tabor and from Little
Mountain and some as many as live
miles and more. The school here
must be hundred years old and pos

And the Newberry-Prosperity road
is getting in very bad shape. l drove
over it two or three times in the
past few days, and it is almost as
rough as it was before it wes worked
and made into a highway. under
stand it has not yet been received,
and it is well that it has not. That
pile of dirt that was in the middle
of the road and to which referred
heretofore has been spread out in the
road. If it is to be left as it is and
not plowed up and mixed the last
condition of that road is worse than
the first. Now l have said that what
do not know about road building
would fill several volumes, but | have
seen enough of these top soil and
sand clay roads to venture the opln-
ion that if the road is not plowed up
and the sand and the clay mixed, or
the top soil thoroughly mixed in the
same way, you can not expect to have
any sort of worth while road. When
we spend something like 100000 we
should have at least a few miles OF
road that are properly built. Aad it
does not seem to me that road that
is properly built should get in holes
as soon as some of these roads. But
then may be they have not yet been
completed ard accepted by whoever
is to accept them. And even this
little experience should teach US the
lesson that if we are to have any
roads and any benefit from our
money in the building of these roads
we must provide for their malnten-
ance. And that reminds me to say
that in the maintenance of the road
from Prosperity to Little Mountain
if the soil that is being hauled there
to make repair is not plowed in with
the roadbed there can be no proper
repairing done and none that Will
