STRANDED
ON The DESERT

r
Marooned on the desert ten miles
from a welt without a drop Of water
or ounce of food was the situation in
which Jake Alling found a San Ber-
nardino party of tourists on the occa-
sion of his journey to the borax find
of the West End Chemical Company
last August. The story never gained
publicity because Jake was working
out on the new colemanite discovery.

turned to Tonopah for the first time
since leaving last Summer. says the
Tonopah Times.

Brown and Louis Pleasonton. vas
driving a truck south when Brown
happened to observe a car standing
still on the old railroad grade. A
flag was waving and the people were
making frantic efforts 10 attract at
tention. The Tonopah boys mushed
across the intervening desert to find
the worst case of distress that had
ever been called to the notice of ALI
ing, who is known as one of veteran
desert rats. A mother and her
daughter. with a middle-aged man
and his nephew, were almost uncon-
scious from exhaustion. They had
come from San Bernardino and were
bound for the Yosemite via Tonopah.
Somebody had given the wrong direc-
tons and they had followed the rail-
road grade which took them away
from the few ranches and water holes
SO that when they reached a point
ten miles south Of the Leland ranch
and their fiivver became stalled in the
sand they knew no other way than for
the men to walk to the ranch to pro-
cure water. The men started in the
afternoon, returning next day. Their
only container was a couple of vacu-
um bottles which did not carry
enough water to last the men for the
return journey. Within two miles of
the car the elder man sank to the
ground. The boy pushed on and he
dropped unconscious within half a
mile of the car. The women managed
to drag the lad to the car where he
revived and the party proceeded to
the relief of the other victim of heat
and thirst. Next day the Alling par
ty hove in sight. Every drop of va
ter had been drained from the radiat-
or t o use for drinking and there was
not a bite of food. The Tonopah men
got the fivver out of the sand, gave
the owner two gallons of gasoline to
enable him to reach Beatty, filled the
radiator with water and furnished a
good supply of food.
BY taking the railroad grade the
party missed Indian Springs, and
when they stalled were within two
miles of a spring. In that fix they
spent two days and two nights wait
ing for relief. They said they tried
to keep moving old ties in front of
their car but soon gave way to ex-
haustion.

COMMENT


In days before chloroform was dis
covered, they tied a man. held him
down. then cut ofs his leg, IL they
thought 1t necessary. All he could
do was look on and yell.
Uncle Sam is in that position to-
day. Two classes of doctors, rail-
road owners and railroad workers,
have made up their minds to remove
both of Uncle Sans legs for a little
while, taking away the railroads on
which he travels. And all he can do
is look on, and feel sorry for himself.
1t ought to be possible for a great
nation to have more than that to say
about its own affairs.

Mr.. Mayor Blease and Aldermen,
while you are at it why not let the
people vote some bonds and pave
some more streets. The people ev!-
IDENTIFY want the paving EXTENDED from
the way the petitions are oeing sign
ed to have the work extended. 1t
would be better now than to have the
streets torn up at some other time.
And then you should not regard street
paving and road building and school
building in the same light that you
regard taxes for other purposes, be-
cause it is altogether different. Tax
es laid for these things is an invest
ment which will pay you good divid-
dends. And any how the people evl-
IDENTIFY want to have the work done or
they would not be asking to have it
extended as they have when in addl-
ton to paying the tax for the part the
town pays on this paving they pay
half of it out of their own pockets.
Now is the time to extend the work.

The work of building roads in New
berry is moving along fine. The road
to Deadfall has been let and the road
on to Chappells- has been built for
several miles and the road on to Whit
niire is moving along.
The contract for the building of the
Belfast road as far as the Gibson
place and the Pomaria road as far as
st. Phillips has been let to the Newell
Contracting company at the same rate
per unit that the work is now being
done, and that is much cheaper than
some other contracts have been let in
other counties for the same class of
work.
The Deadfall road is to be complet-
ed within 100 days and by that time
the road to Chappells and on to the
river to connect with the Greenwood
road will be finished, and then we can
go right into Greenwood town with
out even the change Of gear.
The Caldwell road should be extend
ed on down to the Broad river at some
point so that the people down that
side would have a road, and then we
would connect with Fairfield, and the
road should be built on down to Po-
maria town. And there is another
road that should be built along with
the ones selected, and that is the road
from Prosperity to the steel bridge
over to the Saluda. That is a very
important road for the trade not only
of Prosperity but for Newberry as
we'll. Of course we take 1t that the
road will be built while we are at it.
Well we are going just as fast as the
money will permit and we know that
Chairman Boulware is doing the best
that he can. We would like to see
the maintenance of these roads turned
back to the highway commission. No
use for US to pay some outside parties

On Sunday l went to Pine Pleasant
(colored) church to talk to the:5col-
ored people about the building Of a
school house in the Bethel-Garmany
district. We have the four acres ssand
much Of the lumber has been sawed
for the building. There is a large
enrolment of colored children in this
district and we will build three room
house for the school. / had been to
this church before and made a talk
and this time l just wanted to start
the movement for the building and
the raising of the money. Tie white
trustees were present and M. Bur
Leitzsev. y. S Gallman the super
visor for colored schools had charge
of the meeting and introduced Mr.
Leitzsey who explained to the colored
folk what he expected them to do, and
Mr.. Sims Brown. one of the trustees,
assured them that the white people
were going to cooperate with them
and that he believed that they had
the best behaved colored folk in that
district that there were in the county:
and then made talk. AS a result,
I am told the cash collection at this
time and the work heretofore done
which is the same as cash and the
money heretofore subscribed and paid
amounted to around S400. We will be-
gin the work here soon after the first
of July. Gallman had arranged to

but it takes the cooperation of the

before we start this work and lay the

AMONG THE SCHOOLS
Scholarships

SCEOiSISHlpS
The state of South Carolina has
provided number of scholarships
at the state institutions which are dis
tributed among the counties. Some
days ago I wrote the several state in
stitutions making inquiry as to vacan-
cies and any other information in re-
gard to them that might be of interest
to those who might desire to apply.
l have replies from Winthrop and
Clemson and the Citadel but no an
swer from the university. There is
no vacant scholarship at the Citadel
and none at Winthrop. The examina-
tion will be held for Winthrop just
the same as if there were the vacant
scholarships and this is for those who
desire to enter the college. Pres
dent johnson writes there are sever
al state scholarships and it may be
possible to get one of these ana l
would suggest that if any of the
Young ladies of the county would ike
to go to Winthrop that they take the
and make themselves
eligible. l want to make correction
too as to the date of the examination,
that is correction of statement
that 7 NAV have made. | think have
stated that this examination for
Winthrop would be held on the 7th
of July. 1t is the first of July and
hope that any one thinking of taking
this examination will bear in mind
that the correct date for the examina-
ton is July /. In regard to the vac
ancies at Clemson l am going to print
the letter in full. The advertisement
for Winthrop and also for Clemson
as to these examinations is printed in
this paper. Here is the letter in re-

ABOUT SPEEDING

We notice that the sheriff of Lex
ington gives warning that the speed
ers must stop speeding or he will ar
rest them. Hehad just as well pro-
ceed to put his machinery for arrest
ing folk in operation, because the
speeding is going on just the same
as if he had never put the notice in
the paper.
And the sign that is to be placed
along teh road warning the traveller
what the speed limit is will not be
worth much, unless there are few
arrests and some pretty good fines,
and they may act as good memory
reminder, but we have the speedlust
with us and he or she is going to re-
main so long as cars are made to move
at high speed and the roads are pass
able.
Some of the other laws and rules
and regulations of the road should be
enforced also, such as giving warning
when you are going to pass car
travelling in front of you, and then
passing on the left side, and the law
or rule or regulation to drive to the
right when meeting another car, and
if it is not the law or the rule or the
regulation then it should be, to give
at least little part of the road to
the fellow you are going to meet and
not make him take to the woods or
the ditch, and there is another very
good regulation which is to slow down
in meeting another car, which is CIV
en- very little heed.
But simply for the sheriff to put
notice in the papers as to these mat
ters the average driver is not going
to pay any attention to the notice.
OF course he should. We should all
be law abiding people, having due re-
gard for the rights of the other fell
low as we'll as for ourselves, but un-
fortunately we are not.
We notice that over here in Green
vile driver ran right into crowd
and killed an old man and wounded
several others. The fact is the auto
car is getting to be more deadly than
the ever ready pistol in the IMP ,pock
ct.
We will be glad to see the signs
placed along the road, but better
place some motorcycle policemen
along there with authority to make
the arrest. and then see that the right
sort of punishment is administered,
and have no regard for the person
who is violating the law, that is to
say let the law operate regardless of
favors.
Another sign we should like to see
is the sign required in the statute
giving direction at the crossing of
roads and the fork of roads so that
the traveller might know how to go.
There is statute that has been on
the books for many years requiring
this, it was placed there even before
the days of the automobile. Let u.s.
all obey the laws and do unto the
other fellow as we would have him do
to US and there will be not so much
trouble.
