NS.EWS AND HERALD WINNSBORO, S. C. J. FRANK FOOSHE' Editor and Proprietor. PUBLISHED WEEKLY TERMS. IN ADvANCE: One Year,........................ .1.50 Six Monthus.......................... .75 Wednesday, April 25, 1906. The "Real Estate Edition" of tye State last week reflected credit alike upon the enterprise of this great South Carolina daily and almost unspeakable projgres of the Palmetto State. Things are moving forward in the South and South Carolina is strictly in the proccasion. This country has never wit nessed a more terrible calamity than that which befell San Fran cisco last week; the milk of human kindness has never flowed more freely; and the work of ihe rebuilding of the Golden Gate City will be pushed forward in a manner that will make it one of the greatest achievements yet accomplished in the world's history. "Honor to whom honor'is due." South Carolina's senior senator through his continuous pitching into everything and everybody without any regard to time or place has won for himself the distinction of the "Pitchfork" senator. Fairfield's s e n a t o r through his untiring efforts in behalf of the oppressed tax payeres and without any regard to the making of a new leak while trying to stop an old one has(?)saved to ihem not merely dollars and cents, but to each individually very small fractions thereof and has justly won with out the advice and the assistance of his associates the exceptional distinction of "the-two-ten-thous andths.-part-of-a-dollar" senator. How insignificant and meaning less the title of the "Statesman from Trenton" as compared with the unquestionable and expres sive title of the "Statesman from Blythewood." While the former may be classed as "constitutional" lawyer, the latter rarely falls short of being "unconstitutional." Conzstitutionlilty to Be Tested. Supervisor Burley last week - submitted to Attorney-General Youmans the recent act of the genera assembly iu regard to the publication of the supervisor,s reports with the request that he advise him as to the constitu tionality of the same and also as to whether the act, providing for these reports, had been repealed. This officer has replied that it does not come properly within his jurisdiction to declare in re gard to the constitutinality of the act. He, however, very free ly expresses in an unoffcial way the opinion that the the act will not stand the test of the courts. It is enough to add here that a test case will be made at the next session of eourt in Winns boro, wh- - it will be -decided who i- iro-ant of the law: Fair field's senator, who ignores legal advice in the drafting of bills, or the editor of The News and Her ald: who gave his opinion only -after legal advice of a very high order. In connection with the, contro versy that has been going on, relative to this point, the Colam bia Record of Saturday after noon contained the following edi torial: GOOD TIMES IN FAIRFIELD. In the last issue of the Winns boro News and Herald there appears a spirited controversy between Editor Fooshe and State Senator Johnston. The cause of the trouble was that a ''rider" was placed on a bill during the last legislature whereby 'the pub lication of the county supervisor's report was discontinued. The editor appears to have laid this chiefly at the door of the senator, claiming that the provision was tacked on a bill which had no reference to that particular matter. The senator replies hotly, re senting the charge, accuses the editor of selfish motives in his endeavor to put money in' his own pocket at the expense of the ~'oppressed" taxpayers. T h e 'senator drops his angry and de nunciatory language long enough in one place to refer with great pride, it seems, to the saving ascomplished by the bill. We read Mr. Johnston's article with considerable interest, and when we learned the amnount saved to the "oppressed" tax payers by the bill, the sum of $60 p er annum, we were reluctantly forced to recognize the. editor's reprehensible indifference to the welfare of taxpayers and his own constituency. WVe could, also, better appreciate the senator's pointing with pride to his ivonder ful record in behalf of reform and retrenchment. Sixty d6llars. a year! No longer are thbre any oppressed taxpayers in Fairfield.1 The burden has been lifted from them, but as we have seen no reports of mass meetings adopt ing resolutions of appreciation, nor the people hurrying to serenade the senator and delega tion with brass bands and glad! acclaims, we are almost forced to; believe the people of Fairfield are nngrateful. But we know they are not, and the explanation, no doubt, is that they have not yet realized the incalculable benefit which has been conferred upon them. When they come to pay their taxes next tiime they will, and then we may expect the hallelujahs and fireworks of appreciation and rejoicing. They will see the difference in thsir taxes then. Fairfield has in round numbers 30,000 people. Divide $60 amongst them and we have a saving for every man, woman and child in the county of .0002 of a dollar-two ten tbous 1andths part of a dollar. That is what each one of thqm would have had to contribute to this wicked, cold-blooded, grasping editor for printing in his paper what had been done with the public funds-their own money. That may be squandered, or even stolen, but their ignorance will be bliss, for have they not saved two ten thousandths of a dollar? Wonderful will be the pros perity of old Fairfield with all that money saved, in bank and drawing interest or in general circulation. Everybody ought to be happy, including the editor, for maybe with wealth as plenti ful as leaves everybody will pay his subscription. Greenbrier Notes. The school picnic on Good Friday was enjoyed thoroughly bp the pupils and patrons. The program began at 10.30 with an interesting game of basket ball. There were several amusing rqces and recitations, tennis and base ball in the afternoon. On that evening the Terpsicho rean Club met at Mr. G. H. Steadman's.

The marriage of Miss Eleanor Ruth Brice and Mr. Edward M. c Kennedy was solemnized at thE h home of the bride's mother, Mrs. e N. Ellen Brice, Thursday even- t] ing at 7 o'clock. The ceremony was performed by Rev. B. G. a Pressly. The large gathering of relatives and friends attested the univer- c sal esteem in which both bride 1 and groom are held. The large spacious home of the biide had I been converted into a veritable ,J conservatory. The decorations t in the parlor .were green palms, y interspersed with white. The r hall and dining room were decked with carnations and green ferns, e while the sitting room was one c mass of apple blossoms. Just before the ceremony Miss Bettie Coleman rendered several selections. Promptly at 7 o'clock the notes of Mendelsohi's wed- I ding march caused a stillness to fall on the whole assembly. The bridal party entered from the rear of the hall, passed into the centre of the parlor, where they were met by the minister. First came the two little pages, Mas ters Kenneth Kennedy and Wil liam Brice; next came the groom and his best man, Mr. J. Frank O'Mara, of Charleston; next came the two attendants, Miss Rebecca Craig of Blackstock with Mr. A. 3. Fewell of Rock Hill; tae bride next entered on the arm of her dame of honor, Mrs. T. W. Brice, Jr. The voice of God's minister, as he pronounced the sweet and solemn words, which made the twain man and wife, was th3 only sound to be heard. , The baide was beautifully gowned in an exquisite Peau de crepe, made princess style. Ber veil of tulle was caught with bride's roses. In her arm she carried a magnificent bunch of roses. She used the same hand kerchief her mother used at her wedding forty years ago. Around her neck she wore a necklace of gold from which was suspended a lockct of gold set with diamonds. Tba bridesmaids wore white mull and carried pink carnations. Immediately after the cere mony the attending friends and relatives were conducted into the dining room, where a sumptuous three-course supper was served. The committee in the dinLng room consisted of Mesdames Cole man, W. M. Patrick and T. W. Brice. As the guests retired from the dining room punch was served them by Misses Belle Hood s.nd May Kennedy. The ladies who received the guests were Mes dames R. G. Brice, J. M. Brice and J. P. Walker. The presents were both numer ous and beautiful' there being a preponderance of silver and cut glass. Mr. and Mrs. Kennedy left on the midnight train for Jackson ville and other points of interest in Florida. The bride's going away dress was a tailor-made suit of grey. Mrs. Kennedy has always been one of Woodward's most popular young ladies and her friends are congratulating themselves that she is still to live among them. She is the second daughter of the late Mr. Galvin Brice and his wife, Mrs. N. Ellen Brice. Mr. Kennedy is a young man of ple as ing address and sterling business qualities. He is interested in the firm of Kennedy Mercaatile Co. of Blackstock. Among the out-of-town guests and relatives present were: Messrs. J. A. Brice and Luther Brice, Winusboro; Mr. and Mrs. .c. BIrice, Yorkville: Mr. and \Irs. George Brice, Charlotte: Mr. and Mrs. C. C. McAliley, Chester; Mr. and Mrs. G. C. [.n timner, Che~tt.r; Mrs. T. K.
