NEWS AND HERALD PUBLISHED WEEKLY, WINNSBORO PRINTING CO. -. FhANK FOOSHE, - - - EDITOR TERMS, IN ADVANCE: One Year,.................... -. 0 Six Months.................... . WINNSBORO, S. C. Wednesday, May 24, 1905 In union there is strength. The gods help those who help themselves. Why not have electric lights on the town clock so that the time may be seen by night as well as by day? The Spartanburg Daily Her aid in noting that a young lady is one of the five orators at the commencement of the South Carolina College asks if she is much of an "oratoress." It is too cruel to make an insinuation of such a grave character against any sweet girl graduate. Heaven spare her the fate of be ing so dubbed. The dispensary has received another servere blow. Pickens has voted it out by a vote of three to one. Tne fight is al ready on in Spartanburg. Other counties are sure to put it to a test. The people are not to be fooled always in maintaining such an iniquitous system on account of the small revenue that comes to the schools The special committee from the grand jury appointed to ex amine the books of the various county officers will not begin work this week, as was announced last week. Their excusa is that they are too busy at other work at this time. If they would only do the sensible thing, they would employ an expert who would not need their assistance. But it is most too much to ex pect such a small matter as keeping up with a county's finances to be attended to in a business-like way. The man of the hour in South Carolina is Mr. W. E. Lucas, p resident of the Lausens Cotton Mills, who is waging a stubborn fight to determine whether the cotton mills belong to the stock holders in South Carolina or to their selling agents in New York. While it still remains to be de termined by the courts, whether he will win out in his fight with the Millikens, yet he has started the ball for a movement to secure the independence of the stock holders of Southern cotton mills from their selling agents. The winning of this fight will mean no little in the industrial de velopment of this whole section! The South must make use of every opportunity to assert its non-dependence upon the North in financial matters. By reference to our advertising columns it will be seen that Su pervisor Burley is making his last call for claims issued pre vious to January 1, 1905. Those who have any of these old claims will do the county a favor by bringing them in at this time so that an exact statement of the county's indebtedness may be had. Since our last statement in regard to the county's fiinan cial condition several claims have come in, which increases the amount by several hundred dollars. In this connection it is well to note the fact that the law provides that these claims are not to be let out of the office, but instead a certificate for the claim is to be issued. By an ob servance of this law the connty in the future will be saved the expense of advertising for claims which have no right to go out of the cffice. There is more at stake in the effort to establish a boarding school in connection with Mt. Zion than merely carrying out the plan that has been proposed. It is not only a test of the com murity's willingness to take ad vantage of a proposition that practically has success insured in its ver:- beginning, but also of the community's willingness to act in concert in any enterprise that promises success. For this com munity to fail to raise the neces sary funds for launching this enterprise, it would be all the more difficult in effecting any or ganization in the future that has for its purpose the upbuilding of Winnsboro. This fact that every failure on the part of a commu nity to respond to any call made upon it makes it all the more im perative that all act in concert so that there be no failure. To succeed in carrying out this un - dertaking will give the commu nity the additional strength that comes from union in promoting any industrial or educational en terprise that may be undertaken this time, not only for the sake of; the movement itself, but for the sake of securing concert of action so as to make possible future developments in other lines. We are not yet prepared to make defliite announcements in regard to the price of fruit trees. We find, however, that the prices will be lower than they were last year, the season having been much more favorable for propo gating the young plants. We can say that the price of the peach trees of the largest size will not exceed 6 cents delivered at such points in the county as we may designate. We hope in a few days to make a short trip to the Ridge section for the pur pose of seeing tae peach industry during the shippins season. We shall make every endeavor to get the n6cessary information lor starting an orchard. In the mean time jet every farmer de termine to plant at least a few fruit trees this coming season. There should also be others, especially in the lower section of the county, to take up the matter of growing peaches for the mar ket. It is very probable that all the cotton has now been planted. It is hardly known yet whether the acreage has been materially reduced, though the general sup position is that is has been to some extent at least. Whatever the cotton acreage, there is what concerns the farmer more, the raising of all his supplies at home. If enough corn has not been planted, there is still an opportunity for increasing the corn acreage, nor is it yet too late for the planting of sorghum, that greatest of all forage crops. Another most important crop, certainly of no less importance, than the others, is the pea crop, which can be planted now or at any time within the next six or eight weeks. The pea crop is a profitable one whether planted in rows and cultivated or whether soon broadcast, not only for the harvest, but also for the great improvement of the land. As we have frequently said before, one of the greatest profits in farming is that which comes from the improvement of the land. In addi tion'to corn, sorghum and peas, any or all of which are deserving of as much or more attention than cotton, comes the garden, which can be made very profit able and a source of great pleas vre on account of the home rais ed vegetables. The potato crop, too, is a very profitable one. And there are others. The prosperous farmer is the one who raises all these supplies at home without regard to the price of cotton. In connection with the call made elsewhere for a mass meet ing of the citizens of this com munity at the court house this afternoon at six o'clock, we ilesire to emphasize the importance of a full attendance. With the propo sition that has been made there is the opportunity for the estab lishment of such a boarding school at this time at a very small cost to the business men of this community. All that is asked of them is a guarantee of $1,000 as a contriaution for launching this enterprise, which, if successful, as it surely will be, will mean so muich to the devel opment of the community in every way. This is a small sum indeed for them to pledge and it should be forthcoming at once. There is no need so much at this time for argument as for action. The success of the school for boys held here last summer, the increased attendance upon all the colleges of South Carolina this year over any other in the history of the State, the success that is attending all preparatory high schonJs at this time, the success that was Mt. Zion's in its palwe ~days when Winnsboro was knowr> Ifar and wide as an educational centre-these all suggest the wis dom of immediate action. The opportunity of getting this board ing school on such reasonable ermns is made possible because of the strong financial support that this community at present gives its high school department. This condition is only possible in a community whose public school is not very large and whose pupils continue a.erein until they are prepared for college. The rela tive proportion of students in the high school department at Mt. Zion at the present time as com pared with the number in the same department in other schools is considerably larger, a fact v hich augurs well not only for the character of the work done in the school, but for the community in its strong support of its home institution. This strong backing now give n the high school de partment is the equivalent of an endowment of at least $35,000 at 6 per cent in starting a new en terprise, even after the necessary school buildings are constructed.. With this accumulated asset, so to speak, there is all the more reason for the community not to yellent opportunity it has for stablishing a boarding scho"l :hat wiL easily take rank from the 4 very beginning with ary similar school in the State. All together for the boarding school. "Yes, we are going to have it." 'We must have it." These and similar remarks can be heard in regard to the establishment of a. boarding school in connection with Mt. Zion. The mass meet ing of the citizens at the court house this afternoon will deter mine definitely whether we are to have it. What are you goiag to do to make it possible? Twelve is usually considered too large a number for a ccm mittee because of the difficulty of getting so many together. That, number, however, is the - size of the committee that is to report to the mass meeting of citizens at the court house this afternoon in regard to the es tablishment ol a boardingschool Ce in connection with Mt. Zion. To -b their credit, be it said, every ml member of the committee was an present at this meeting Monday. th This is a healthy indication that th they are giving the matter their ca honest and earnest attention. te The report they bring in will be TI the result of mature and thorough h deliberation. Every business man C in Winnsboro should be present to P hear this report and to take part z in the consideration of it. it cl th Greenbrier Dots. th The Greenbrier boys hav played ce several interesting games of ball gr lately. Two games were played m' between the school boys and a scrub team, in which the school P boys were victorious. Saturday of afternoon a game was played o with Winnsboro, the score being 28 to 14 in favor of Greenbrier. The school closed on the 19th t inst. after a successful year. Mr. 6 and Mrs. Dye left that day, tak- ur ing with them the respect of the a I entire community. We regret th very much that they will not have as charge of the school next yerr, but they have our best wishes 2 wherever they are. ea Miss Bertha Blair is visiting ta relatives in Augusta, Ga. no Mrs. G.
