A few days .,,before lie had stolen about a bushel of potatoes from Mrs. Werber's potato house-the crime for which he was sen tenced. le was arrested on suspicion, carried before M agistrate Chappell, and held on his own recognizance. There was very little testimony conclusive of his guilt. A few days later Policeman Franklin discovered that the potatoes were hidden in Jones' woods beyond J. A. Burton's residence near where Brooks lived. Carrying Mr. Vaughn with him, Policeman Franklin went to recover the potatoes. Just as he started to return to the city lie wvas confronted by Brooks, who with a scythe blade in his upraised hand demanded to knowv what wvas wvanted.

The goods roads meeting at Young's arove on Friday was the most largely Attended in the campaign thus far, the -rowd numbering about three hun ]red. Mr. R. T. C. Hunter acted as chair man of the meeting. Addresses were made by the Rev. S. [1. Zimmerman, Col. E. H. Aull, Hon. Dole. L. Blease, and Prof. W. K. Sligh. rhe positions taken at the various meet Ings by Messrs. Zimmerman, Aull, and Blease have already been stated in these ,olumns. Prof. Sligh made a strong and logical argument for an issue of bonds. Prof. Sligh said in part: TH1E ISSUE OF BONDS. "If it is intended to really build roads the following plan appears to me the most practical and economical: "Issue $200,000 worth of 4 per cent. bonds and thus place ourselves in a posi tion to receive $200,000 in cash from the national government if the government extends aid, as it is very probable it will do. Pennsylvania has taken the necessaiy steps to get nine millions. When these great States take hold of a thing there must be something in it. Moreover, this is the first chance the South hes had to get something for the forty millions she pays the national gov ernment each year. $100,0C would build 400 miles of road. This would cover the county pretty well. These $400,000 would be spent in the county for labor, material, hauling, etc. Our pL ple would get nearly all of it and it would make times better. "A 2-mill property tax would pay the interest on these bonds and relieve them in thirty 'years. (Here the spe.aker gave an array of figures showing this result. It is impossible to obtain the figures for this issue, but they w'll be given lator.) "This levy would be lessened from year to year as the value of property incA-eesed. $2..J commutation tax would keep the roads leading into the main roads in excellent condition." The speaker saidl he had seen road building in Maryland and Pennsylvania, the farmers haulcd the stones from the nearest quaiiy and dumped them in a rough condition on the road-beds. Then they were broken into the required sizes by men with hammers. The work was;very rapid and not expensive. Of course the road had been previously sur veyed and grade by an engineer. We have as good or even hetter material foi road building. Our ordinary granite i. said to be es fine as any stone in thc world for roads. It is plentiful and well distributed. Where there is nc granite odher good stone can be had, Newberry conty is exceptional in rc. gard to material. The bond plan is superior to the pay as-you-go plan for several resons: 1. It is not just to make the presen1 generation bear all the expense of sucl permanent improvements. 2. The wvork wvould be too slow or else the taxes too high if we try to pay a: we go. A two-mill tax wvould rais< $11,000 a year. This would necessaril: be spent for a few years on some on, scction of the county. Other section wvould become dlissatisfied. The roa< tax would become an issue in p)olitic, The majority reevn no direct benefi for a long number of years wvould sen men to the legislature pledged to rc move the tax. 'This would end the got roads question. I f you pr~opose to mak the tax heavy enough to build road rapidly the p)eop)le can't afford it. 3. The bond p)lanl would put into cii culation $100,000 at a cost to the tai payers of 2 per~ cent. interest. 4. The bond p)lan would in a few yeai bring the benefits of good roads to tI whole county. All the people wvoul have the use of them and all the pri~ erty wvould increase in value at one, An excellent barbecue dinner we servedl. The meeting at Whitmire was held< Saturday.

The late Government report makeE the wheat crop thirty-five million bush els less than last year. This means ver3 much higher flour until another harvesi in 1904.

State Treasruer Jennings Makes a State ,ment About the Columbia Hospital Matter. Several days ago there appeared in) The Herald and News an article stating that a white man in the last stages of consumption, very weak and unable to walk, got off the Southern's passenger train in this city, claiming to have been sent away from the Columbia hospital in this condition and that the hospital had not provided him with a ticket to carry him home and that some one at the State house had written a note to the tieket agent securing transporta tion for him to Newberry. The man, who gave his name as John Cook, said that his home was in Greenville. The man's statements in regard to the alleged ill-treatment by the Columbia hospital were very generally circulated and they were printed for; the purpose of giving the hospital an'oppoi tunity to set itself straight in the matter, and without an intention of reflecting upon the hospital or the people of Columhia in any manner whatever. The man's statements were printed as they were made. The people of Newberry could not believe them unless there should be no denial from the hospital, and The Herald and News so stated in these words: "The people of Newberry refuse to be lieve that in this civilized age such a course would be pursued by any hospit al anywhere." But there was "some thing wrong some where'' and the man's statements were printed for the purpoLc of getting the matter cleared. The following from the Columbia State of Saturday puts the matter straight. No injustice was done the Columbia hospital by The Herald and News. In fact, the Columbia people would have been done an injustice had they been given no opportunity to correct the im pression which the man's statements necessarily created. The State says: An injustice has been done the man agement of the Columbia hospital re cently. The Newberiy Herald anl News recently published a story from a sick man w.io left the train there and complained that he had boen sent away from the Columbia hospital in a deplor able condition and penniless. ThIs| stat 3ment attractcd the attention of the State treasurer, Capt. R. It. Jen nings, who yesterday gave to The S)ate a statement showing that the sick man evidently suffers from some kiind or vagary and that he was not turned out of the Columbia hospital. Capt. Jennings said yestCrday: "I notice in your issue of this mo omng an article from the Newberey Ierald and News under the headin;, 'Something Wrong Somewhere,' a'd as I happen to be tlhe 'sonic one at the State house' me itioned, I desire in the interet of ti ath and fairness to state the facts s I know them. - "Mr. Cook came into the treasurer's office in the.forenoon of Saturday as I recollect and said that lie had come from Augsfi, Ga., 'vhere he had been in a hospital and w:-. discharged v;th free transporLation to this city; th.t lie wvs dying with corsumption and wanted to get to Newbei -y, where lie had worked in a cott n mill. I saw he w.s feeble and needed help, and gave him Iwhat money I had ard I think the other men in the office gave him some. I wrote a letter to Mr. P. I. Welles, superinten dent of the Southern railway here, and asked him if he couldo (10 p0llease to give him free transportation to New ne .en-. I saw no more of him. lie ~saidl not a word about the hosp)ital in a Columbia, nor at >ut Greenv ille being I his home, nor of I's having a wife and ,child. He seenred somiewhlat dlaz/ed andl t all the information I got from him I re ceived in answer to my uuestions." :1Supt.
