J * There is one thing that everybody is united upon, the impression that we need some kind of systematic street improvement.?Anderson Mail. tended to issue bonds without refer- : ring the matter to the people to be voted upon. It may be that it is for 1 the purpose'of paying off the past indebtedness of the county and placing the county on a cash basis, and also , relating to some railroad bonds issued by townships. This bill and one with reference to Little Mountain school district are the only two measures that we have observed as Laving been , introduced by any member of the Newberry delegation. A little while ago, The Herald and News said something about tl a possibility of the parlor car, which is now being operated between Charleston and Greenville on the Coast Line, being discontinud between Columbia and Greenville. If anybody or any organization has made any move to prevent this backward step, we have failed to observe it. W? should be very sorry to see this car taken off, and we are Rii-ro if tym f! &- w C! would make ar rangements to connect with the C., N\ & L. at Laurens for Spartanburg, that j this car would be very liberally pat- j rouzed, especially during the summer j season, for a great, many of th? people j from Charleston would take this route j to the mountains. The Newberry city council might! take some steps, or at least look into the matter, in the absence of any commercial organization in the town of Newberry.

That is to say, not simply theoretically united, but really and genuinely united. The trouble is, that we all agree to the general principle, that good roads and good streets are very fine things to have around, but we unite cmly on the theory, and when it comes to putting the theory in practice we all disagree, because somebody must pay something, just as if you could have anything without pay.

Men, Women and School Girls Give Attention while State Endeavors to Prove Millionaire Gnilty. Aiken, Feb. 4.?Little of sensation but much of interest, developed today in the trial of Fredirick 0. Beach, a prominent New Yorker, who is charged with assualt and battery with intent to kill, upon his wife, Mrs. Camilla Havemeyer Beach, at their winter home here, on February 26, of last year. Interest was manifest, at least, whether or not the course of the trial warranted it, for the court room was thronged with men, women and girls; even the school girls cf Aiken were to be seen at the afternoon session. The n-et results of the day are the production of the greater part of tne States' testimony, which seeks by circumstantial evidence to connect "Beauty" Beach with the murderous assault upon his wife. Thus far, it may be stated with safe-; ty, facts adduced from the testimony indicate suspicious circumstanecs, but they do not connect the crime with the husband of the woman assaulted. It | is said that a pen knife, the property of Mr. Beach, which bears blood stains, will be introduced, and that upon this the State will depend to implicate Mr. Beach. From the trend of the questioning it appears that the defence rests upon the fact that prints of a coarse and cheap shoe, kaving the Beach premises, was found by those who inspected the grounds after the assualt. Such - i 1- ^ i? J: + ~ ti LraCK. Wets IUUUU iCclums IU iuc iciiiway cut. Th-& prosecution has sought strenuously to show that no one was seen leaving the premises and that there were witnesses sufficient to shut off every avenue of .escape, and yet 'by one witness tbe State- shows that a man was seen running from the direction of tbe Beach place and it failed to establish whether or not this man was black or white. Thus, to all outward appearances the prosecution has contributed a valuable point to the defence-. Most of the afternoon was spent in showing that no one was seen leaving the place. This morning the State adduced evidence that a man did leave from the vicinity of the Beach gate. The defence stresses ttie coarse shoe that -was worn, possibly by the negro, ' who, Mrs. Peach and Mr. Beach declare, committed the assualt. If the penknife is introduced in evidence it is likely that the defence will furnish testimony, otherwise it mav be that no evidence wil be offered. This, of course, is contingent upon, what Solicitor Gunter may "spring" to-mor ruw. ai tne present -stage, nowever, theu is discussion -even of a possible directed verdict. There was no salacious testimony, j and those who came with ears prim-ed | for such suffered disappointment. There was, of course, much broad hinting; there wer?' implied statements, but the morbidly curious and scandal lovers had an off day.
