REPORT OF UNION COMMITTEE. t I Trip to Columbia via Carlisle Fish d Dam Ferry and Monticello-Re- b turn via Newberry and Maybinton. C s The Union Times publishes the a following: t d Executi,%e Committee and Gentlemen of the Union Chamber of Com merce: I We, your committee, beg to sub- - mit the following report Promptly d at 7 o'clock Tuesday morning we left t Union in a car furnished by Mr. Em- q slie Nicholson for Columbia via San- C tuc, Carlisle, Fish Dam . Ferry, r through Fairfield county and on to t Columbia returning through Lexing- v ton county and Newberry to Union. I The trip was made without accident a or discomfort save one puncture ii which detained us a lialf hour at p Prosperity on the return trip. The a weather was propitious and the trip c enjoyed by each of us. We found the route via Carlisle and through Fairfield county entire- f ly feasible and shorter by some ten E miles with the chief drawback beingl' the Fish Dam Ferry over Broad river I just four miles beyond Carlisle and C exactly 18 miles from Union. This is not a grievous drawback for it took I us but 8 minutes to make. the cross ing on a flat which is regularly maiu- C tained by Union county. About the I roughest road we' ,encountered was for a half mile before reaching this I ferry and for six miles beyond that point. We did not go via Crosbyville t and Feasterville, as did Messrs. c Chambers and Lipscomb, but " left S these points to our right and took the s main ridge road via Beaver Dam g church and the home of Mr. John r Stone. Mr. Stone is /one of Chester t county's largest cotton planters and 1 the distance from Union we found to ( be 28.3 miles. From here on to Co- 1 lumbia via the farms of Henry Owens, 30.7 miles from Union, and Samuel a Clowney's farm 32.1 miles from Un ion we found the roads very good. We e passed Ladd's store, Monticello and t Jenkinsville. At Hinnant's store we c were 15 miles from Columbia. There a Is a 10-mile stretch of road on this, side of Rocky river bridge which is C bad road. The roadbed is rock and i rough. When we rolled into Colum- t bia and up to Wright's hotel where f we spent the night, we had madea journey of 74.8 miles. There is nolt part of this road from Union to Co- I lumbia that would be expensive to a put in good condition, nor is there i any part of it that would be expensive to maintain. The road through Union county is now in first-class condition, with the exception of the mile or two as you approach Fish Dam Ferry. b About the only criticism one would * make of the road up to the approach to the river is the fact that from Un ion to that point -there are 18 cross * ings of the Southern railway. r In Columbia we went to see Mr. Moorman, secretary of the Columbia . chamber of commerce and Mr. G. W. Davis, county commissioner for Richland. We met with some en couragement from these gentlemen, but they did not seem to favor the Fairfield, Fish Dam route, mainly for the reason that they seemed comn mitted to the Newberry route. Mr. Moorman said that was a fixed point, ~ but did not say who fixed it or how. We left Columbia about 7 o'clock t Wednesday morning and reached Newberry through Lexington coun- t ty before dinner. We found this route to be fairly good all the way to Newberry. Several miles in Lexing ton county the roads are rocky and poorly worked, but generally better than the other route. We did not en counter the bad roads here that Messrs. Chambers and Lipscomb en countered for the reason that we did not go by way of Irmo. We took the .road via Hopewell -and Wateree churches. Chapin, 22.2 miles above Columbia was in our route, and there K we tarried a brief period. Little Mountain is just 27 miles on the way up. Upon - our arrival at Prosperity' we were met by an escort from New-! berry, three cars bringing Col. I. H. Hunt, president of the Newberry chamber of commerce, 'Col. Cole L. Blease, mayor of Newberry, Col. E. M. Evans, president of post J., T. P. A.,3 Mr. W. G. Mayes, president of the Businesse Men's Credit association,V and Messrs W. S. Langford, owner of one of the cars, Forrest Summer, ~ owner of another car; Dr. E. H. Kib ler, owner of the third car; Mr. W. F. Ewart, County Supervisor L. I. Feagle, and Mr. J. K. Aull, of The Herald and News. Your committee 1 is under very many obligations tot I these gentlemen for their many cour tesies. At l'.-ocrerity the~re was a ( general changing of the occupants I of the cars. so as to mix up. The drive to Newberry was made in about 15 i minutes. One mile of the way was I over the sand-clay mile of road con structed under government super vision. Over this we drove at the j T rate of 60 n.iles per hour. It would 'I do your hearts good to ride over( A aat mile of perfectly splendid road. t makes one see visions and dream reams of a happy day which we ope may be near at hand. At Newberry we met with the hamber of commerce and were as ured that we stood as good show as nybody to get the Asheville-Colum ia road to pass through Union. They id not seem to take to the road from rnion to Columbia through Fairfield ounty, but this was quite natural. 'hey assured us that we would meet rith every assistance they could ren er us provided the road should come D Newberry via Union. Upon the uestion as to whether the Union 'ross Anchor, or Clinton-Laurens oute should be the first official routz iey were neutral, as all three routes rere contemplating coming to New erry, they were neutral. They did ssure us that the matter of improv ig the road to Maybinton would be ressed vigorously provided we rould do as much for our five miles f bad road on this side. We assur d them that our county officials 7ere greatly interested and that we nlt sure the road would be improv d at once. If this 10 mile stretch 7ere put in order one could easily oLake the trip to Newberry, a dist.nce f 42 niles, in an hour and a half. The good roads committee ii New erry county is as follows: E. H. Lull, chairman; W. S. Langford, W. . Waldrop, C. E. Summer and E. H. Zibler, of Newberry, and J. . F. Irowne, J. D. Quattlebaum, of Pros erity. When we undertook to pay our ho el bill at Newberry we found that the hamter of commerce had -.'eady ;ttled ic in full They urgeri us to tay over night and promised .1 I. ood time. We had to decline but egr;*+ted it very much. As we went D get into our car to start for Un Dn tt ere was a car driven by Mr. .r. Summer and carryijig Editor Vallace of the Observer; Col. Hunt, ,i-ent of chamber of commern., Ld idr. Nat Gist, ready to accompany s for the first five miles of the rip. We trust it may some day I e be privilege of Union chamb:, of ommerce to reciprocate- these many ,ttentions. We came from Newberry ia tho ~aldwell road to Maybinton, cross 2g at Enoree bridge and Gordon ridge, Tyger river. To that point ram Newberry it is exactly 21 miles. Trom here on to Union we came by he old Hamilton place, K. Jeter, J. 3pps Tucker, Joe Fant, D. B. Fant nd Davis Gregory places on to Un :n, 43 miles from Newberry. The road to within five miles of Ty er river is good and with that five riles fixed and about five miles on the fewherry side fixed, the trip to New erry can be made in one and a half .ours. We beg to further say that we have 1ade accurate measurements of dis ances, gathered considerable infor aation r.ot incorporated in this re art, and that we took time to talk vith the people along these routes. Ve append to this report maps and .iagrams showing additional facts. One thing more we beg to submit: ~n our way home from Newberry and bout four miles from Maybinton, we ntered the old Columbia road which ve followed on to Union and which s said to be a direct and feasible oute to Columbia. This proposition s worth looking into and offers a hird solution to our proposition. This report is respectfully submit ed, Dr. J. T. Jeter, Sheppard Nicholson, E. F. Goodmon, L. M. Rice.

Medicine Free in Every Case Where ; it Fails to Relieve. c Neglect or pessimism, we believe, is the greatest enemy the public has to contend with when applied to the s loss or recovery of health. Practi cally every case of consumption 1 might have been cured if hope had i been maintained and proper treat- 3 ment had been resorted to at the E first symptom of the disease. Until the advanced stage is- reached con sumption is curable. Catharrh is re sponsible, we believe, for many cases of consumption. It is about catarrh we want to talk to you today, inci dentally consumption, since the two! are so closely allied. We have a -medicine made from a prescription of one of the most suc cessful catarrh specialists known. We believe it is positively without an equal. We are so satisfied that we are right, that we will supply the medicine free in every instance where - it is used according to direc-1 tions for a reasonable length of time,j should it fail to give satisfaction in every particular. We want every one to try ti medicine at our risk. There are no conditions attached to our offer. *e put the user under no obligation to us whatever. The medicine we want you to try, is Rexall Mucu-Tone. It is a catarrh remedy that goes direct to the seat of trouble. It is carried by the blood to every part of the system. It puri fies and enriches the blood, tones up the mucous cells, and brings about a condition of health and strength that E tends to prevent the germs of con sumption from getting a start. Be sides this, Rexall Mucu-Tone is a wonderful appetizer, digestive aid and flesh builder. Its good effects are often felt from the very first dose. It is one of the largest and most sat-* isfactory selling medicines that we have ever had anything to do with. We know so much of .the -great good that it has done that we per sonally back it up with our reputa tion and money, which fact should be ample guarantee to satisfy anybody. Rexall Mucu-Tone comes in two sizes, 50 cents and $1. We urge you to try it. Remember you can obtain Rexall Remedies in Newberry onl.y at our store,-The Rexall Store. Gil der & Weeks. ANNOUNCEMENTS.
