NEWS AND HERALD. PUBLISHED WEEKLY, -BY WINNSBORO PRINTING CO. J. FRANK FOOSHE, = - - EDITOR TERM8, IN ADVANCR : One Year,............................$1.50 81x:Months....................... ... WINNSBORC, S. C. Wednesday. March 12, - - 1902 Secretary Long has retired from the cabinet. It seems that it will not be long till the presi dent will have an entirely new corps of advisers. Citizen Josh says give the Tillmans what they deserve. Then treat them with silent con tempt instead of waftivg them on to glory by columns of abuse. Every now and then some one suggests the propriety of organ izing a military company in town. Winnsboro, as is well known at one time, had a company in the Gordon Light Infantry that any town might well be proud of. This company, however, was dis. banded at the time of the Dar lington riot, and I,o successor to it has ever been organized. The gap between the disbanding of the old and the organizing of a now company is now long enough, and we should like to-see a move made to break the gap. Will not some one take the initiatory step? March 20th is to be South Car olina Day at the Charleston Expo tion, and the people should make it a great red letter day for the Exposition and for the State. The Exposition is growing in pop ularity every day, and is now attracting the attention of the whole country. The more it is patronized by the home people the better it can serve its purpose of attracting the attention of the outside world to its industries, and without the attendance of the people of the State it can not but fail in many vital points. We trust that hundreds from this county will be able to take it in, and we specially hope that the child'ren will have the opportu nity of going, for to them, espe cially, it would be a great educa tional influence. On the last page of this issue will be found the premi mn liet of the county fair to b\held in Winnsboro the last wee es ber. It is -printed this faly so ihat all may know what ~miums will be offered and to en 3e them to plant with a viehw tc. peting for them. Look over the list carefully and then set about to compete for one or more of the premiums offered therein. The executive committee is very anx ious to'-see the number of exhib itors greatly increased, and will be very gla.d to have your assis tance in making the fair a success. Orie of the ways in which you can render this assistance is by making an exhibit. They have told you what they will do for them, now set to work for your self and for them. The'feed problem is a perplex ing one with the farmers this year. The corn supply waa un precedentedly short, the earlier grain having been killed and the amount of spring sowing being very small, the farmers are going to have to buy most of the food with which they cultivate their crops, and some will even have to buy grain food for them till corn comes in. Th trouble can be ini part overcome by sow ing oats at this time. Another w:iy of bridg ing over this fee.i probn cis . planting forige ero .s. For~ thi purpose there is n(othe? b-*t than ealy amb'er so gin eau& which can be had at ha t i t cost. If vou have ever tr ei this useful crop, try it ti son. Plant early, cultis we and by the first of .) lui vIw be getting a good suj y- of a food for your stock. An:1i if vm will not be too sparing in o sowing, you can have <ntogh V. feed borte, mule, cow, and hogs. And it wouldn't be a bad p)lan to set aside a good large patch for the feed of the family. A gallon of sorghum is far better than almost any of the molasses to be bought in the summer. We have several times urged the importance of every' citizen to vote. Oni account of certain restrictions thrown about the bal lot box, there is some necessary red tape. In this State regist ra tion is essential to voting. Every citizen ought, therefore, to regis ter so as to put himself in a posi Most frequently in our elections where the candidate has already been nominated in a primary, it is a matter of very little conse quence as to the number of votes cast. But we have a very unde sirable element that at some time when the votes of the whites are very scattering m:ght attempt to carry the day. On this account, therefore, it behooves every citi zen to comply with every require ment necessary to his voting in any given election. Every citizen in Winnsboro who has a State registration certificate is entitled to registration in the coming municipal election, the necessity to pioduce a town tax receipt now being off as the time for the payment of taxes has been ex tended. We should like to see every white man place himself in a position to vote, and if there is any white man in the town or county who hasn't a State regis tration certificate we urge upon him the importance of getting such a certificate at the earliest possible time so that he may be in a position to vote at all times, and especially at such times as where his vote is needed for the protectioh of his race. For Railroad Commissioner. To the Elitor of ie 2New8 and Hjerald: In view of the peculiarly per plexing problems of government presenting themselves on every hand it is more than ever neces sary for the people of South Car olina to exercise careful scrutiny in the selection of public officials. They cannot afford to base their choice on any consideration save fitness, and fitness consists both in integrity to do right and in intelligence to know what is right so that the scales of justice may be evenly balanced in the deter mination of issues arising from conflicting interests. Serious in jury may be inflicted by honest error. The problem of transpor tation is exceedingly complex. When properly conducted rail ways are a great potent fac tor in furthering the public welfare. Their great usefulness, however, clothes them with great power for evil as well as good. It is the duty of the State to see that the rights of the public and the-railways are alike carefully guarded and that there shall be no encroachment from either side. This is a simple proposition, but i:aplca ' is4 no ests no;nybe use of shippers and carriers, but also because of the conflict between the interstate'commerce juri'sdic tion of the United States and the police power of the State. 'The exact line of demarcation betwe en the two has not yet been drawn, and new issues will constantly present themselves demanding the exercise of enlightened, judg ment. The railroad commission, therefore, is a department of government of great importance. Recognizing this, many citizens desire to nominate for Railroad Commissioner Mr. John G. Mob ley, of Fairfield. Besides pos sessing a legal training he has for a number of years been e'i gaged in farming and dairy hus bandry. For twelve years a direc tor of the State Agricultural Society, he has done as much for the improvement and de 'elopment of the dairy br-eeds of cattle as any one in South Car-olina. He is a practical farmer-thoroughly identified with the agriculturil interests of the State, and has also favored the development of our resources along all lines of ind (ust rv. Mr. Moblev has ever been con si icuous for his public spirit and mI:tiring energy. He has always ta. en an active part in politics * ud has always regarded the mn * tr<st of a friend as his own. In e Legislature his ability. and * ess were well display ed. lie asfearless in presenting his own mec, but alway s courteous to ]is 01 ponents. In recognition of he wcrth the Legislature made urm a director of the penitentiary av en almost unanim:ous vote. as F ailroad C >mmnissionier he wend carefully study the pioblemn of Ii ansportatio and do justice without fear or favor. Affable in nmnner and pl.asant in speech Mr-. MLobley woald be a popular as well as a capable 'f>al. For all these reasons he. is placed in nominat iou and it,is believed that Ihe will be elected.

At the home of Mr. Thomas Blair last -Friday evening an n'ertaiiuiient was given under he auspices of the Greenbrier W. F-M. Society and, as usual, was a perfect success. The house was taxed to its uttermost cap:icity to accomodate the crowd and each one w-s made to feel as if they were a specially invited guest, for a more hospita ble home than Mr. Blairs is not to be found in this county. The souvenir room was soon cleared by the children and their shouts of joy after winding the cord gave evidence of t heir 1pleas ure and sati4actio., in th,2 souv nir they- fouu. The doll (a faslionab'e (1re,se3 young lady) was won by Mr. Thomas Leitner. She was qate a beauty and we are glad he has at last won a young ladj even though it b'e a doll. . Our widower was there in all his glory, and he wa s so 'dis tracted by the sight of so many pretty giils that it was almost found nccessary to appoint a guardian for him. The cake for the most popular young lady, after an exciting con test, was won by Miss. Eula Ligon. Mr. Elder from the quarry added very much to the pleasures of the evening with. his grapho phone. There were several ac comolished musicians present and entertained the crowd charm ingly with vocal and instrumental music. The refreshments were so well cooked and so temptingly served that everything was disposed of - of. The process of the evening 1 amounted to $40.70. At 12 p. m. reluctant good byes were exchanged and the i long talked of, much thought of entertainment was a thing of the past. 0. B. Would Smash the Club.
