NEWS. AND HERALD. PUBLISLED WEEKLY, -BY WINNSBORO PRINTING CO. J. FRXNK FO'3SHE, - - -EDITOR TERMS, IN ADVANCE : One Year,............................$1.50 sixMonths...................... .. WINNSBORO, S. C. Wednesday. July 16, - - 1902 The town of Sainda and the county of Oconee have each lately bought a complete road machine outfit. The town or county that goes in for good roads is laying well for its future. Such an in vestment is the best that can be made with public money except for public schools, and the latter investment is made far more effec tive where the roads are good. The railroads are deserving of great credit for what they are doing for the promotion of the industries of this State. Just at this time the Atlantic Coast Line comes in for special praise for what it is doing for strawberry culture in the Pedee section. Its industrial agent is to visit a number of farms in that section this summer and give instruction as to The best methods of grow ing strawberries for market. "Yes, you can put me down for a page ad. in the premium list" said one of Winnsboro's most progressive merchants to the committee soliciting the same. And then he added: "I want to see the fair a great success, and the best things at it preserved for a place in the South Carolina ex hibit at the St. Louis exposition." He also suggested that it would be a good plan for parties having land in Fairfield county to sell to have plats and descriptions made of same and placed on exhibition at fairs and expositions. Two good suggestions these that ought not to be overlooked. "Heap of trouble for nothing is this of providing for a prim-ry vote on the enlargement of the court house" said a leading far mer of the county to us Saturday. The work is badly needed, and our legislators should take the necessary steps without having this Tote." This is all true, but DOW that the people have been asked to express their opinion at -.t-'rbllot box on this important point we hope that it will be utranimously in favor of the pro posed improvement. Tbe com mittee to whom has been referred the whole matter should act promptly so that the people'rnay be given such information as would enable them to vote in telligently on the matter. The indications day by day are that Mr. Hemphill is the grow ing man in the race for the senate. His speeches everywhere seem to have been well received. Many of those who had been saying that he would not be a factor in the race are beginning to open their eyes. His ability is being largely recognized, and a lots of that political clap-trap (deviltry would be a better word) about his having .not b)een a residlent of the State during the past fewv years is being exploded, for sensible people know whatt constitutes citizenship. Certain it is that hisexperience in 'Washington has given him an acquaintance with public affairs, national and inter national, that fits him with all of his other attainments for mn kinig t he State a repr esenitative in the upper branch of the natiom2;1 congress that the Palmetto State would be proud of. *If there is anything di.-gustiing ta) us, it is seeing a 'aidid ti trying to iide into o:li -Kb.c ing his opponent wo absolutely knows to be uc : For instance here co' s Martin, caudidate f'r the i office of State superi ! e' education, an office that J!on be sought on the mn-rits of t.' applicant and niot the d meritso any one else, with the chja( against Mr. McMahman that he is. responsible for the wholosale change of books made t'wo years ago. Nowv Mr. Martin knows as well as any one else that Mr. Mc Mahan is not responsible one whit for the chiange; that he and the other mnembems of the State board of education only carried out the provisons of the statutes;, and that if he himself had held the position his hands would have been tied against doing other thlan the requirements of the public school law. If Mr. Martin 1eazlly wishes to succeed the bhst St~a superintendent of 1.ucat 1n thr- state Las < d, 1. t him do it by other iieans tLaii mnenion0ed abo ,ve. The issuance of bonds for the cs establishment of the ele( t ic light h plant is going to necessitate the rti raising of additional taxes. Now a] instead of raising all the amount is necessary by additional levy, it C strikes us that it would be a de- b< cidedly better policy to raise at fi least a portion of this amount by w the license system. By this sys- fc tem all classes of business are ai reached and the burden of taxa- I tion is more equally distributed, i for in this way some who are not reached at all by direct taxation ti are made to contribute to the p support of the town. Then too there is the protection that comes E to every class of business under J the license systein which is not possible otherwise-a feature that o brings with it advantages fully as N, great ,s they cost. The council t( would do well to adopt this sys- nr tem as one of the means of rais- i ing the additional amount neces- tl sary to the town's support. I Some business men of Winns- I boro have under advisement the proposition of building a trolley car line to the Winnsboro granite company. Should this be done a , great problem in connection with Ii the work of the quarry would be w solved-the providing of homes al in Winnsboro for the operatives, is who do not relish the idea of w being so completely in the coun- it e try without the conveniences of c town. As it is they are subjected to being away fromntheir families, to whom is sent a large part of their earnings. Or if they wish to go to see their families, it is a great expense to them not only a in the money required for rail- h road fare, bnt also in the time a necessarily lost. The effect of a all this is to bring about a cer- h tain demoralization. that can only be adjusted by their having their a families with them. The place o for them to live is Winnsboro, s and this is not possible without c, the trolley line or a right of way % over the Southern from Rockton n to Winnsboro-a proposition that n is also being talked. By all odds q let us have the trolley car line, which would greatly increase the. b business of Winnsboro. Several men have expressed a willingness to invest liberally in the proposed .ti scheme, and all that is necessary a now is organization to get the movement iis definite shape'. flossy Dale items.b The 4th passed off quietly. Everybody seem to be in their crops trying to lay by. Candi dates have not been around as yet and the crop is not very promising so far. What is the matter that we have not our usual crop this year? P It seems that the State cam paign is runnig very smoothly, 7N with the exception of some spice w throwvn in occasionally to stir up f~ a little interest. From reports of the meetings the crowds seem to be small and very little enthu siasm shown. The Croquet Club held its an nual meeting at Mr. G. W. Brooks' t on Tuesday last. Though thet day was very warm it did not seem to abate the interest in thed game. There was some fine work done on the ground. A nice dinner was served and in the d afternoon ic~e cream and sherbert, n all of which was very nmch en- t joyed and helped to reduce the a temperature for the time at least. Miss Blanche Caimak returned a home a short time ago from her school at Spartanburg.
