NEWSAND HERALD a: PUBLISHEL WE EKLY, -BY-- i< WINNSBORO PRINTING CO. sI J. FRANK FOOSHE, - - -Entr ft TERMS, IN ADVANCE: One Year,.............................1.56 Six Months................ .. VINNqBORO, S. C. P Wednesday, Aug. 2, 1905. 1 The most profitable work that can be done in the country with in the next few weeks is the work- 0 ing of the roads, so as to make possible the more satisfactory marketing of the crops this fall. Every overseer should see to it that his roads is worked. It is to the financial interest of every farmer to give his best assistance to the improvement of the public i highways. I Even if the courts decide that the act providing for the appoint ment of the dispensary ihvestiga ting committee, which is still said to be investigating, be un constitutional, the belief of the people in the rottenness of the great moral institution will not be shaken. It will simply make them all the more determined to get rid of the abominable thing. From the way various politi cians are taking part in the dis- t cussion of the dispensary system s in the different church gather- t ings, it begins to look like the s dispensary stands a fins showing i of going under through the over- L zealousness of its best friends. Their assistance in getting rid of the great noral institution will be y appresiated, if they only help to r to make a good job of it. f t An overseer in the lower part s of the county has requested us to notify the supervisor that he can not work the road assigned to him, as all the hands along it t with the exception of two have either moved off or paid the t ridiculous comm.utaion tax of $1.00 in lieu of tbsir work. Sure ly the hands of tbi, overseer are tied and there can be no hopes of his doing anything without hands. The death of Mayor Hull of t Rock Hill, which occured at his home Monday after a long and c lingering illness from which his friends never expected him to re cover, removes from the editorial c fraternity of South Carolina one , who was true to his convictions. The honor bestowed upon him . by his fellow-citizens of Rock i Hill testified in some degree their E appreciation of his faithful work I in behalf of that growing city. E The Rock Hill Herald has been e all the while a good, clean paper i and easily ranked among the very t first of the local papers of Southt Carolina. The Dispensary Reviewed. The News and Courier has re cently published a review of the I dispensary situation as gleaned f from reports from its correspond- 3 ents in thirty-six counties. This I review shows that there are only two counties that have not had a the dispensary, Greenwood and ' Marlboro; two have voted it out, Cherokee and Pickens, though the legality of the election in the latter is in the courts; that in eighteen other counties petitions for voting the dispensary out have either been circulated or are now in circulation, with the pros pects decidedly in favor of its be- ~ ing given a black eye in at least fourteen of these; that in three' others the matter of circulating petitions is now being agitated with a growing sentiment against the great moral' institution; that i in twelve other counties the sen timent is strongly in favor of the dispensary, almost wholly so for the revenue feature. It also finds that in nearly every dis- e pensary the request feature is t wholly ignored; that there are f more or less blind tigers, these v being located principally in rural: districts; that in several instances~ v where drinking in the dispensary a is not permitted, the premises s are so arranged as to make ita possible for the chemically pure to be drunk, where'it is bought. o In concluding its views of the' t] sentiment of the people in re gard to the dispensary, the Ne ws n and Courier says: I "The movement to vote out disp pensaries by counties has gon~e o 00 far to be checked at preet. p nator Tillman's exp)ressed de hat tihe question of proi or dispensary be left to the tate, made in his ietter to gius, of Newberry, has 3is being, quietly iguore d. taim that in some of the ounties in which the s begun the Proibi succeed.

So there 1oald be a saving of 8208 p ear, and in forty years the whole ebt would be paid and a saving f more than 8.000)U ieie, anid hat, too, without any increase in e taxes for this purp~ose. Then there shonid be an in rease of 2 mills per year for a seriod of three years for the~ par ose of getting the county on a ash basis. Such an increase rould raise practically $*S,000 a ear. As the expenses of the ounty are about $22,000 per ye-ar, here would thus be accumuhltted ough in three years to make it. iossible for the county to p:ay very claim against it with sp:t ash without the necesisity of >orrowing a sind?e dollar duriur he year. And then at the end of he three years it would be pos ibe to make a reduction in Lhe >resent levy of at least a half aill as the result of doing~ away with the discount systen. The above is a stra:ight busi ess proposition, and the most easible that present~s itsi-lf to us-. f any one has a better to present. ow is the time to corue forward ith it.

Upon-them. Prol H arper, the newly elected f irector oif the experiment sta ti at Clemson College, spoke eext. As a farmer himself, he i 'oi t to do with the analyzing tf 0ertlixrs, but with their use. A -nestion of importance to the f iers of South Carolina which imore than '8S3,0003,000 ca1h yrar for fertilizers alone, Is whether this immense amount if plant food is properly applied 'o :'s to secure the most satisfac to11 results. Every farm must b exerimlent station, where Iiin determined all the while wha:t crops are best adapted to tis'-; or that piece of soil and ha t fertilizers are to be used on it. The tine is coming when every farmner will buy the in goit '~Lin their pure form and mi his own fertilizar himself. iThe most important thing with evey farmer is sup plying his soil wihc a suoaitieut amount of humus. The Secret of the rich lands of 1 Itr1aud which have been in culti vation fo(r thousands of years is th system of rotation of the c op -:~teat has been in vogue thr all this while, thus supply ing the necessary humus. The1 coi pea is the most valuable of all the crops for restoring the .an , a one acre will extract from the air. 75 p ounds of nitro gen, wich in commercial ferti lizers costs about 15 cents per oudin wholesale lots, being the most expensive of all fer-] tiliin elements. in conclu io Prof. Hairper gave some vaube inf or mation as to alfalfa, the ruost valuable of all forage Irops-one that experience has provent is adapted to this sec tNon. if the proper care is taken ithe preparation of the soil, which must contain a plenty o1 humufl.Vs. Because the first sowing of a!'aia is not a success, the4 :-"rou must not be given up. Keep 3eeing it with fertilizer, so as to supply the required humus; re plimt'if necessary; and soon the alfala field will be in fine con diin ln you will have a crop thereon that youyou make several Iou of habv firom each year, every sevenCI pounds~ of which is as vlb as eleven pounds of the bUt elve hay.

How ver unpopular it may be, there i need for a compulsory systen education that will make the I arents protect the right of their iildren to an education as the Lw protects their right to pro ertv. Tle 19th century was a period f labor saving machines, which r ave made necessary a new system f education. It is the work of these agricul aral and mechanical colleges of bie country to supply this new nd ever increasing demand. Fair eld should feel especial pride in lemson College, for it was one f her sons that first drew Mr. leinson's will and was made the rst executors thereof, the late ol. Jas. H. Rion. The college as been run throughout by the roceeds from the privilege tax, vhich the people are still will og to pay. The experiment of stablishing 124 agricultural cholarships in Clemson is prov ag one of great wisdom. A com >arison with similar collegyes hows that Clemson is run on a aost economical basis. The sys em of education as given in the ,gricultural colleges is just as ;ood as that given in any other oleges. It is in full accord with he divine purpose that man bould go forth exercising control Md dominion over the other reated things of the universe. here is a spititual uplift in get nig in touch with the things of iature and becoming master of he laws under which she oper Ltes.

It was a disappointment to all >resent that the lateness of the iour prevented Mr. T. B. Thack ;ton, of the industrial department >f the Southern Railway, from naking a talk. His interest in Lwakening the farmers to their >ossiblities is too well known to ieed any comment here.

Tie following rerniniscential . trticle, containing some very Jhoughtful suggestions on the iabit of reading, accompanied he note, informing of the ship nent of the books. It will be :ead with great interest by all. Mr. Editor: Many years ago, ibout the middle of the thirties in the last century, a boy ten years of age, lived six miles aorth of Wiunsboro. Books were perhaps as plentiful in the family is in the neighboring homes. Still, a new one was a treat. AnI ld Irish woman, with an elderly bachelor son lived near by. On a visit to her home one day, this boy, in looking over a few books on her corner shelf, found an old opy of the "Columbian Orator." Sampling it hurriedly, he saw some pieces of prose and poetry, which were new to him. He ven tured to ask that he might take the treasure home with him, and leave was kindly given. He was happy. An hour or two may have passed, when he was to leave. The old lady, when telling him good-bye, scid, "Jamie, you' can't take the book, D-- says that is all he has to sharpen his razor on." The visitor went slowJy home, an unhappy boy. The~ disap pointment of that hour was keen, and it was long remembered. Perhaps, the recollection of it has helped me sometimes to put reading matter in the -hands of4 boys. Now books are more abun lant in town and country homes.4 Perhaps few boys now know the thrill we felt when. a new book4 by Peter Parley, or a copy of the 'Penny Magazice, fell into our4 hands. Youir toa.'u has a well-I used public library. I feel it a privilege to pu' a few books on4 its shelves. Nonte of them are speially ' a~uAbl' but 'none are4 worthless or dan.Lgerous. It is worth much to a t@en to have aH convenient room where persons4 of all ages may go to spend au hour in choice comp my of the4 dead or-liviug, or ato tak~e the un-A tnished volurni home! as a silent i friend and adviser. Ruskin said,4 "When Iaiu reaLding a good book, the only Qo on earth I envy, is4 die man who is readii'g a better book." The volmes now sent 1 may lie neread, if all the visitors1 are rea-ling be'tter books. It will be a happy prophecy of the Winusltoro of tomorrow, if the Winnsboro of to-day is filled4 with oug persons who are on fgood thougts, good . books, andi good people. ) J.'.s. H. C~.lusLE. .
