APPALACHIAN HIGHWaY.
*"
The Laurens Advertiser in a recenl
issue seemed to be under the impres
eion that the building of the Appalachian
highway via Whitmire, Glenr
Spring and Spartanburg would mear
that it would divert travel away froir
Greenville and would make the Appalachian
highway the main road to the
mountains. That is. not- what we understand
by the building of this road,
There is now a good road from Spartanburg
and one from Greenville to Hen-dersonville.
The building of the Apnalachian
highway would only make
: "
two roads from the low county to the
mountains and the traveler could then
take his choice, or journey by one going
and the other returning.
The building of this road does not
in the least interfere with the Piedmont
highway, except that it will create
a rival and the one that is best
kept will induce the travel. In fact,
If the traveler desired to take the
Spartanburg route to the mountains he
could go via Laurens and from there
to Spartanburg, but the Laurens-Spartanburg
road needs very much ;attenr
tion to make it attractive to the traveler.
'
We desire to see the Piedmont highi
. ?
way kept in first-class condition; and
we want to see the Appalachian high*
,,i J i* irill ho 11 n
wsy oum di&u, &uu u uv _r
to the two routes to induce the travel
their way by keeping the road in good
condition. IA little rivalry and a little j
competition are goods things to have
around. Let us build both roads and
then let Laurens put the Spartanburg
road in good condition and invite the
tourist that way.
The people along the Newberry way
cf the Appalachian highway mean business
and expect and have determined
to have one of the best roads in the
vtate. We are expecting Union and
Spartanburg to look after their end
ef it.
Work will commence on the Newterry
end on the 15th.
One week from Wednesday just gone
will be the 15th when work is to be
commenced on the building of the
Newberny end of the Appalachian
highway. Supervisor Sample is arranging
to carry out his part of the
agreement to give this road the chain
?v.ang for thirty days, provided the people
along the road give, the co-operation
they agreed and the people in the
towns furnish the money they promised.
Mr. Sample stated that he wanted
*he subscriptions in definite shape and
that the money and subscriptions be
<-o subscribed that he could aosoiuien-1
lely upon them and know just what
\e was doing. Not that he doubted the
statement of any of the men who are
pushing this work, but this was the
county's business and he was taking
up the work on account of the co-operrtion
of the people along the road and
h e wanted the assurance of a definite
arrangement and one tlat may be ab
solutely depended upon.
We are calling attention to this now
I'D that those who are behind this road
nay have everything ready so that the
upervisor may go right along with
'he work. Get your subscriptions
* own over the signature of those who
r ~e going to contribute. That is what
V e Supervisor means. Xot an indefir
ite statement or promise to co-oper:
:e. If you have not already got the
r. Ascriptions, get them now and this
v-2ek. Next week is the time to begin
v ork. If you do not have your sub*
criptions in business shape the superior
may not go to work.
The election on the proposition of
c :ate-wide prohibition will be held
-xt Tuesday. In order to vote in this
"eetion you must have your registra'
->n ticket and your tax receipt. Ge:1

MR. R. H. GRENEKER.
Mr. R. H. Greneker is the oldes
newspaper man, and at the same tim
the youngest man in the "busines
in the city. He has just "growed
up in the business and receive
:! training and his nourishment in th
] old Herald office before the birth c
the News. He was also identified wit
the News as proprietor when it wa
^ consolidated with the Herald, and s
" he was present at the birth of Th
Herald and News. And for the pas
1 several years he has been with Th
1 Herald and News as its local reporte:
1 He seems almost a part of us. ;He i
' painstaking, faithful, energetic, loya
5 and true. If there is a local or a per
sonal he will get it. 'In fact, he has ;
- nose for news, and wrhy shouldn't he
He has been brought up in the busi
ness.
Mr. Greneker leaves The Herald an*
j News this week to go with our con
temporary, the Observer. The Observe:
is able to pay him more money thai
we could and he goes for that reasoi
alone. We regret to give him up, bu
our advice has always been to any on
who has worked in this office to g.
when they could get more pay than w
felt able to give. We are alway;
pleased to see those who have workei
for us especially better their condi
tion. Mr. Greneker will do faithfu
w^ork for the Observer, and we wisl
him mighty well.
We have sent many young men t<
other fields from this office and we ar<
pleased to know th&t they are all do
ing well and making good.
The Herald and News will contlnu<
to gather all the news that is around
and serve it to its readers. .The editor
has been with the paper a good
many years and will now have to do
a little more work, but he will en
aeavor .to ao u as Desi ne can.
The Herald and News is not narrow
nor prejudiced, but is a newspaper
first. It does not straddle any ques.tion,
but comes out in the open. The
editor would like to have the good will
of everybody, but he is going to do his
duty as he sees it, and if it does not
please we are sorry. But we bear no
ftl will to any one. The Herald and
X^ws has stood -for whatever was for
th^ benefit and uplift of this community
and of the whole people. And we
are still here, and not very still either.

of Silverstreet should build a cotton
warehouse and turn it over to the State
or make it a part of the State system,
if those towns desire to have a part
of the cotton business this fall, and
then, of course, make arrangements
with the local banks so that money
could be secured on the warehouse rei
ceipt. Pomaria is building a ware-1
j
house and Little Mountain already has j
one. We mention these because they j
are the small towns that have banks.!
If the bank is going to do business this
season and the merchants expect to
do business, better arrange warehouse
facilities and to lend money on the re-1
ceipts. The farmer is not going to sacrifice
his cotton this season.
FARMERS SHOULD POOL SALES
The conclusion of the whole matter
seems to us to be just tins: 'mat wnne
we must work (1) for better laws regulating
cotton grading and (2) for an
international conference to revise the
cotton tare and (&) for a State warehousing
system, the immediately practicable
thing is for cotton farmers inj
cvarv r> oi orVi +/i crat tntroth PT* '
^ ^i J avvu *.\J v?w-. |
now and arrange for pooling sales of'
both cotton and cotton seed. By mar-1
keting 50 to 500 bales together they'
can get fairer grading, and more competition
in buying, and increased profits
from both :hese sources. Or if they
wish to hold cotto.: it will be easier to'
?et advances ou fairterms if a group1
of farmers act together.
Xor should it ever be forgotten
that there are just as great moneymaking
opportunities in co-operative
marketing of cotton seed as in co-oper-i
ative marketing of cotton. In fact,'
there is such general lack of information
as to standard cotton seed prices,
or as to the basis of exchange for
meal, that all sorts of shamefud variations
occur?far more extreme variations
than take place in cotton itself.
In an investigation we made somemonths
ago we found prices the same
daiy ranging all the way from $16 a
ton to $33 a ton. Similarly some farm
ers get i,ouu pounas 01 iaeai in exchange
for a ton of seed, and others
2,100 pounds. j

HOW TO REDUCE WEIGHT.
Daily Exercise in the Open Air the
Best Plan.
Philadelphia Record.
Medical treatment is hardly e\^er required
to relieve obesity. The people
who are too\fat, too bulky or too heavy
can change 'their appearance and decrease
their .weight wit) .out the aid of
a physician if they are in good health.
If a man is 20 pounds too heavy he
may bring himself down to his normal
weight by systematic daily exercise in
the open air. Walking is the simplest
of all exercise for reducing the
wpiffhf ' A five-mile walk everv dav?
on stormy days as well as clear days
?is the safest ana surest remedy for
obesity.

I Dieting is one of the most successful
methods of reducing the weight and
j girth and of mitigating some of the
j numerous corporeal infirmities. The

pecially benefited by dieting. They
shou'd, l.owever, begin limiting the
diet very gradually. Broadly speaking,
"cutting out all starches and
sweets from the diei" is all that need
be done. This is permissible for a
short time, but must not be done con
tinuously, otherwise the health will
deteriorate. Whenever for any reason
of ill health the weight must be reduced
rapidly, a person should place himself
under the care of a physician.
Dieting >is best begun by dispensing
with".'-'everything sweet. Omit sugar
from the tea, coffee or chocolate. No
candy, cake, pie nor sweet desserts
should be eaten. Eat very sparingly
of roots and vegetables grown underground.
Confine the diet chiefly to
meat (beef or mutton), fisn, lettuce,
celery, tomatoes, spinach, cucumbers,
onions, watercress, cabbage, stale or
toasted bread and acid fruits.
Limit the fluids taken?never drink
anything during a meal, drink after
finishing the meal. Beer, porter, champagne
and every form of alcoholic beverage
must be avoided. Peanuts are
excellent articles of food for the corpulent
and most enjoyable as a dessert.
There is always some danger of doin

tempting to reduce tfre weight. It
