The Prosperit Of atie Heralc PROSPERITY -1EWS. r a The Comag and Going of 'the Peo- f ple 9f a Live and Progres- s sive Town. 1 Prosper-ky, Nov. 7.--There is some .1 talk of giebig as much as $3o,ooo from a the tag tax to the Agricultural and f Mechanical society of South C;iro- a lina. This will if it is done, enable d the society to make their grounds c what they should belsecond to none t in the south. i1 Everything considered the last fair was one of,the best we ever attended p barring the unfinished condition of S the grounds, which of course will t not be the case next year. If Clemson ( does not. need the $3o,ooo let it go e to help the farming interests of the o state. Our state institutions have li been getting immense sums for years v which are largely out of reach of the il farmers, but in the state fair all can t: go and enjoy it and learn many ral uable lessons if they will. Rev. W. L.'Seabrook of Newberry v stopped over in town for a couple ji of hours on hii return from the cor- p nerstone laying of the Lutheran church at Saluda court house on c Tuesday. p We learn from his physician, Dr. s Dominick, that Capt. J. F. Banks is r quite sick. We know that his many 3 friends in the county will be grieved to hear it. We hope for his speedy recovery. Owing to our absence at Synod a from Tuesday, until next week we will n not be able to have a letter in next r two issues. While we have been r writing for each issue so far there h will be times when we will not be r able to get in more than one letter a week. In our absence we will a try to get some one to send up the N news. ' The linotype made us say, "No one r can store up happenings enough to J: last all the wook through ' We wrote a happiness. Quite a difference and why d should we store up happenings? v Have any of the readers of The a Herald and News heard about the d American society of Equity? If not a write to Up-to-Date Farimng, In- o dianapolis and tell them you saw it n in The Herald and News of Newber ry, S. C.; and you will hear all about , it.' It is a good thing. Push it along. s Today there is being waged all over b /this union oio-urs, one- of the great- s est battles ever fought. The blows s are falling as quietly as the leaves l( in autumn, but the victory will mean much. At this writing it looks to d us as though we would have 4 years a more of Teddy. b Hon. Geo. S. Mower spent Monday h night in town, returning to Newberry ~ on the early train. We now think we will like the newe schedule on the Southern. It will enable one to get to Columbia before so very late in the night and enable d us to read The Evening Telegram be- ti fore going to bed. It will be reallys today's news .today and not today's " news tomorrow, as we have it in the morning dailies. If it was an hourC earlier it would be better still. We see from the daily papers that some New Englander has-' invented0 a cotton picker. The'man .who in-0 vented the Lowrey ;ound bale 4the inventor of this machine. It is 'not altodgethe'r aio(matic. It requires' 4 boys and a driver to manage it andC will pick three bales a day. -It has just been tried at Albaniy, Ga. The -boys direct arms thiat pick the cotton. The time may come yet when we can ride and do all our work. There is a corn harvester that one rides and cuts and gathers his corn, tieing ' it in bundles or shocks, making it I' ready for the shredder. Riding cul- c tivators and turn plows, etc., are no new thing. We will wonder how " we got along at the beginning of the h 2oth century with our antiquated t' methods. Life is progress. Repose a is 'death. b About two weeks ago the State had t an article on the cost of rice and E stated that 8 pecks make a bushel. c and that rice cost the consumer $4.00 bushel. We were little a surprised t this and thought perhaps, as the a --te man hzd his pecks donhled. he r Departm4ent :1 and News a . Ma:aer'' St" a tight also have nis price doubled- a nd taking his own figures for it, )r w did not get up any for our- a :'lves, re rei,[r! to it as rollows: p o the Editor of The State: c Your e--orial in reference to rice: h woold call your attention, as well m 5 yewr eorrespondent, "D. C." to the a Lul that four pecks make a bushel o nc not eight as he figures. The real it ifference is $1.48 to $2.00, only 52 m ents per bushel. All know where o iis goes. Railroads get most of and the retailers the balance. We had no idea that it woul4 be t rinted but it was and it gave The tate man a chance to come back at ie rice man and acknowledge the :orn) rice, and said he was nodding,' tc. The funny part was in a day g r two afterwards we got the fol >wing from a railroad official. (I rill do as The State did and publish Just for the fun and good humor iere is in it: My dear Mr. Kohn: b I very much doubt if you know 'hat the railroad rate is and just imped on them on general princi les. The rate on a bushel of rice is 7 1-2 1< ents and the price at retail is $i.oo v er peck, 50 cents for 1-2 peck, or as h tated $4.oo per bushel. Now the it tilroad leaves for the other fellow. c 92 1-3. Do you think that excessive? Yours truly in good humor" a I replied that I did not think the r bove rate excessive and that I did ot expect the letter published and c !ally had just jumped on the rail- t] )ad to serve t. e retailer and told A im that if he wasn't mad to send . te a pass to the fair and what do b ou think. Well, I guess he was mad - 5 I didn't get the pass and had to ,alk up to the ticket window and a lank down the good coin of the N !alm or stay at home; see our calcu- a Ltion of being the happy owner of pass if it was only a trip pass was oomed. I wonder how it feels any -ay to ride on the train nowadays ad not have to pay the piper (con uctor). I imagine it would give one a ri inside tickleshness and an outside verishness. We didn't get to try it t o how. If Judge Parker wins tomorrow it 'ill be a glad day for the south, and n 2e will emerge from a shadow that as fallen across every home in our t uthland. May the shadow pass and ti uinshinie and happiness be ever the lh >t of our people. 11 We had two days of rain and a raught of at least ten weeks is now ii thing of the past. Farmers are 0 usy sowing their fall grain. Cotton as been coming in in small quantities. s To one cares to sell for less thark h cents. We hope they will get it and C ven more,. Rev. P. H. E.
