NIEWS AND HERALD I PUBLISHED WEEKLY, -BY WINNSBORO PRINTING CO. J. FRANK FOOSHE, - - - EDIToR TERMB, IN ADVANCE : One Year,................$1.50 51x Mouts........................... .75 WINNSBORO, S. C. Wednesday, Jan. 18, 1905. It will be well to start the matter of raising more home sup plies this year than formerly by sowing oats as soon as possible. It often happens that the spring - . crop of grain does better than that sown in the fall and this might be the case this time. Even should the experiment prove a failure, the farmer would only be out his seed, as the land would then be in partial readiness for some other crop. Governor Heyward has given out an interview in which he positively states that his political life will end with his second term as governor. This announcemet will be quite a surprise to the people of the state, as it had been confidently expected that he would enter the race for the senate sooner or later. Should he withdraw from politics at the time that he suggests with the same degree of popularity that he now enjoys, he need have no re grets for having entered the political arena. The high price 'of mules and labor and of all farm supplies is going to make the raising of cotton at six or seven cents a very much more difficult problem than it was when these necessi .ties were uearer in keeping with the price of the South's staple crop. In making preparation for this year's crop, it will be well to bear this very important fact in mind by planting less cotton so as to make it bring a better price and by raising more home sup plies for which the money for cotton will not have to be spent. With economy in planning and with . close attention to their farming intereste the people of the South can be greatly profited by their lack of wisdom in going wild over cotton the past year. In addition to making provis ion for the enlargement of the court house and the building of a new jail on a new site, .which matter .we understand is now being seriously considered by the .members of the- Fairfeld 'delega-~ tion, there is. another very im portamnt matter for these gentle men to face seriously. While the repoi-ts of the countv~ treasurer are.no longer published to show the- financial condition of the county'(an effort at econmoy that waanot wise as experience has p roven in those counties which have tried it), yet it is a matter of fact that the county is badly in debt and is getting more s~o each year. The total yearly in come of the county is not suffi cient to meet i.ts running ex penses. At present the county is borrowing $7,400 from the sinking fuind~of.the state at tLe rate of 5 per cent, making the interest on the same -$370 each year. Then there Are claims discounted each year to :the amount of at least $15,000 and sometimes $20,000. A simhplecalculation shows that the Tuadiint of interest* that the conf pags'yaarly in this way, the, ",dicont rate being ,7 per cent, is from $1,050 to $1,400. For several years the delegation has been asked by the board of coanty commisioners to increase the tax levy one-half mill so as to get the county on a cash basis .This same request has been made again, and it: should be heeded. There is no wisdo-n in making the levy so small that an amount sufficient for raising the curreDt expenses of the county can not be raised. A. continuation of this policy makes it dead certain that the county will get deever and deeper into debt. With the additional half mill levy, more thaji $1,800 would be raised each year and there would be a smiall amount to apply to reducing the county's indebtedness. There should be no objection to taking this step. The only tro uble with it is the amount of increase or levy asked for by the commissioners is toe small. It will take too long to reduce the county's indebted ness in this way. The additioal levy should be made at least a mill which would make it possi ble for the county to get on a caish bssin five years. At the end of that short- period it would be possible not only to cut off thie additional One mill levy that would be required in getting the county on a cash basis, but it would be easily possible to make a decrease in the present levy,i for it must be borne in mind that a considerable part .of the coun ty's expenses at present is -for paying interest and discount. It is not difficult to determine what is the wise step to be pursued in , the matter of the county's fi nances. Nothing short of the I 3eroic treatment suggested will a bring permanent relief. C EDITORIAL NOTES. It (Continued from page one.)l r bers of the legislature come face to face with him. President Snyder of Wofford College in response to the toast, "The Colleges of South Caro lina," fully sustained his record as a ready speaker, speaking in no uncertain sounds as to the friendly relation that all the col leges of the state bear to the South Carolina College. Gov ernor Heyward also was most happy in his iesponse to the toast, "South Carolina," as was also Mr. Moise, the representa tive for the alumni. It was a striking fact that so many of the colleges and univer sities were represented by sons of South Carolina: -Chancellor Wiggins of the University of the South, President Venable of the University of North Carolina, Dr. J. Mark Baldwin, the very distinguished psychologist of Johns Hopkins University, all being natives of this state. With such representatives among the educational workers of the coun try as these aro South Carolina has no reason to be ashamed of what she has been doing in the matter of higher education. There was no incident of this Centennial occasion that was more touching than the uuveiling of the portrait of the late beloved Prof. Means Davis, who always took the greatest interest in everything that pertained to the South Carolina College, an' espe cially was he interested in the details of the Centennial. There was lacking no evidence among those who had sat at his feet that he was a great favorite with them. He was their friend, and in his death they feel they have lost one who sympathized with them in,all tho struggles incident to college life. The spokesman for the alumni in piesenting this portrait to the college was Mr. J. J. Swearingen of Cedar Springs Institute, who though totally blind made great- distinction for himself by going through the South Carolina College,- taking the full course and bearing off the honors of the class. It was a striking coincidence that the speakers that i-epresent ed the-two literary societies on Monday evening were both from Chester, the representative of the Clarisophic being Hon. William A. Barber of New York and of the Euphradian Judge Hudson -of Bennettsville,. who a few hours before had 'been unanimously' ro ninated by. the citizens of his county to take the place in the senate, made vacant by t1'e death of Senator McCall, an honor to a distinguished son of the state that reflects credit upon the county- that did the handsome act. This distinction that comes to our sister county is all the more emphasized when it is borne in mind that when in the early history of the college it became necessary for the Philo mathic Idterary society to be divided so as to accommodate the increasing number of stu dents, the division was made by ~ selecting the two Lowry broth mrsa from Chester to draw the members for the new societies, this selection to be indicative of the fraternal feeling that should I continue to exist between the members.

Thomas of Colum.'- i sia In this l1nge list there is no ne who is more deserving of this omplimentary expression of ap >reciation of valuable services han the last mentioned, whose ecord in all the years of his long ,nd useful life, devoted to the raining of the young of South Jarolina and preserving and de ending its traditions with his acile pen, has reflected great ,redit upon his native county of Fairfield. It augurs well for the future of he college that it enters upon its ;econd century with a president hat has been connected with it or nearly twenty-five years and Tho to-day is so greatly esteemed ny the students of the college mnd by the members of the facul y and by that large body of mlumni who have known him in the intimate relation of. teacher mnd pupils. It is very manifest ,hat the college is indeed fortu nate in being under control of ne so devoted to its interests and representing as he does such high ideals as a Christian gentle man and a scholar. It was our good fortune during Qur stay to be the guest of Hon. Jno. J. McMahan, whose interest in his native county of Fairfield is ever on the. increase. He is one of the mest loyal sons that the college has turned out in the tiret hundred years of its history, being a very active member of the board of trustees. The high compliment paid him by Presi dent Synder in saying that he had done as much or more than ay other man in the state in bringing about the educational revival of the past few years through having instituted the tate summer school was cer-% tainly deserved and his fellow a.lumni expressed their apprecia tion of this in heartily giving him three cheers.
