E. H. AULL. EDITOR. Entered at the Postoffice at Ne,% herrv. S. C., as 2nd class matter. Tesdav. August 6. 1907. NEWBERRY SETTTEMENT. -It was our good fortune to visit ti old home on last Sunday. When w got there we found the people wer all going to the tabernacle at Epwort where the Rey. Pierce Kinard an the Holiness Association were cor ducting a meeting. This has bee: adopted as the annual meeting plac for the Holiness Association of Sout Carolina, and a very large and sul stantial tent has been erected with seating capacity of some two thous and. It is in the midst of a ver beautiful grove of oaks, and in addi tion to this large auditorium. tent and cottages are put up for the cou venience of those who to go to th meeting and remain until it close Something after the fashion of th oldtime eamp meetings. A restaui ant is also provided so that those wh do not desire to carry their lunch wit] them or to do their cooking, ma; have meals served at about cost. There were at least two thousan, people present at the service on Sur day. When we arrived the Rei Henry Morrison, of Kentucky, wa preaching and he continued for some thing over one and a half hours lon ger, and it was very remarkable tha this large audience should give hit such good and quiet attention durin such a long discourse. The meetin! had been in progress for about week and will continue during thi week. We found several Newberrians i the community, who were visiting an who were attending the meeting among them being Mr. and Mrs. R. C Williams. This is one of the best farming se( tions in South Carolina, and it was pleasure to note the fine crops o corn and cotton all along the road especially corn. The seasons hav been good and the crops are in fin condition. This section of Greenwood county i composed alm.st entirely of Newber ry people and the descendants o: Newberry people. Rev. Pierce Kin ard and his brother, Mr. Mike Kin ard, who live at Epworth, are sons o Mr. 'Calvin Kinard, who moved fror this county along with his two broth ers, Drayton Kinard and Jeff Kinard just after the war. The older Kinard: have passed away, but their childrei have prospered and have bought larg quantities of these fine lands and ar successful farmers. Mr. Henry Gall man, who once lived near Pomuaria jalso lives here with his son-in-law Mr. Mike Kinard. Then near by i Mr. Willie Boiwers, who married on of Mr. Cal Kinard 's daughters and i also prospering. He is a brother o Dr. A. J. Bowers, of Newberry, an< for several years lived at Prosperity then not far away is Mr. .Willian Connelly, also a Newberrian. In fact it is almost a Newberry settlement. .We had the pleasure of dining wit] - our old friend and former school anate, Mr. Willie Bowers, and in ad dition to the service at the tabernacle enjoyed meeting these former New berrians and we are pleased to b able to say that they are doing so wel in their adopted home and makmn; such good citizens. As we understand it, there was tacit agreement on the part of thi county supervisor if the legislatur would provide for the purchase o: two mules and make sufficient appro priation for the maintenance of th chain-gang, that the rcad scrape would be put into use and kept in us during the year in the work of th roads. We do not know what the sup ervisor has done in this regard, bu we are told that at least one of th road scrapes is standing by the road side near Chappells, and has bee1 there for quite a while. The following sentence appears i1 the supply bill for Newberry coun tv. which is in accord with the state nment above, that if provision wer made for maintenance of the chain gang and the purchase of two mule that the road scrapes at least woul be kept in service during this year "Two thousand five hundred dollar of the money realized from this lev3 if so much be necessary, is to be us ed for the purchase of two additions mules and for the maintenance of th chain-gang.'' We have been of the opinion an are still of the opinion that it wouli be b)etter to keep the chain-gan working the roads rather than to us them in building bridges and wit sufficient number of mules and use o t he road1 ,:* Crape a 2ood many mike of road (*onh~lll be put in 2.00( eond tion before the winter months begi1 We hop that the supervisor. if h h1a-n .'1!wr d .ime ls-1. will 1_ 1 u0 v in Pl1ii-11 our r'ads in the vel\ best (odit ion possible. We desire to call attention again to I the importance to the commercial in terest of the city of having the road from Newberrv to the steel bridge put in good condition. We are at _ times somewhat surprised that the ~ buisiness men of this dommunity should be at least apparently so in e different to having this road, as well e as other public highways leading into e the city, put in good condition. We h emphasize this particular road for the reason that it is the highway upon which the greater portion of the Sa 1 luda trade has to travel. WV"hile we have no doubt that the merchants of I Newberry appreciate the trade from t all sections and should be interested I in making it easy for everybody to come to the etiy, yet it seems to us they should be especially interested in making it convenient for our s neighbors across the river to bring - their produce here and to make this a their market. If we are not mistaken, it was un e derstood at the beginning of this year t ~ that the farmers, who live along the road from Newberry to the steel brige, would furnish their teams and 'wagons free of charge after the crops t were laid by, provided the supervisor would take his chain gang and his road machinery and assist them in making a good road of this highway. s We trust that this matter will not be ~ neglected, because at present the 1 road may be in fairly good condition. A gentluman from Saluda county i phoned us the other day that the steel t bridge on the Newberry side was in bad condition. We suppose that this a has been repaired, however, as we s have heard nothing further from it. This is a very good road for the coun a ty ,supervisor to put in good condi- t tion so as to demonstrate what can be done, and especially as he will have the co-operation and. assistance of - those farmers who live along the road - from Newberry to the river. a If the proper committee from the F Chamber of Commeree would take f this matter up now, it is possible that t a they might be able to get the super- t visor and his chain-gang to work in conjunction with the citizens along Sthe, road. The Georgia legislature is consid- 's -ering the pa sage of a bill which -makes it compulsory that all hotels and boarding houses shall keep spot-i less linen on the beds. This is good. -There is not the slightest reason for ( the bill to fail. If there isn't a sim-t ilar law in South Carolina, one should ( be ene:eted at the very next meeting t of the legislature.-Greenville News. SOf course this is proper, and the f act providing for cleanliness should a be extended to the kitchen. It is al most as important as that the linen on the beds should be 'spotless. We are making great progress in regulating the conduct of our citizens as to what they shall drink and where- 1 withal they shall be clot'ied and upon what they shall be fed. We ought to ~o a step further ani stop card play ing and horse racing and baseball and all those things upon which any cit izen could take a chance.
