NEWS AND HERALD WINNSBORO, S. C. J. FRANK FOOSHE! Editor and Proprietor. PUBLISHED WEEKLY TIRMS. IN ADvANCE: One Year,............................$1.50 Six Months........................... .75 Wednesday, May 2, 1906. The action of the town council in abolishing bucket shops is one that should meet with general approval. What is needed is a state law against these institu tions, which are anything else than productive of good to the Southern farmer. That committee, to whom has been entrusted the matter of getting estimates on the cost of paving Congress street, can nol accomplish its task any too soon This is a need that can easily bE suppiied without the issuanc of bonds and without any ad. ditonal taxation. A part of thii street is now in an awful condi tion on account of the pebbleE being exposed above the surfact Unless something is done sooi to better this condition of things the ice man wont be in as com pared with the shoe man. There is published in anothe column a second communicatioi from Senator Johnson. Ignorin its personal allusions, which onl; intensify the extreme littlenesi of the one making them, an< leaving aside the presumption o a legislator in assuming the roli of a judicial interpreter, there i nothing new in the same with thi exception of the information tha it is a sneer at the good peopli of Blythewood to speak of Fair field's senator as the "Statesmai from Blythewood." As Senato Johnson must know what he i talking about when it comes t his former home, we accept th information with thanks an< most sincerely apologize to th good people of that section i having credited them with "statesman" who no longer be longs to them. Score one fo Blythewoood. That city hail proposition ii one that is being freely discussed and, while there is some ob jections being raised to it there are many very enthusiasti< commendations of the proposei improvemeint. All recognize thai it is just one of the things thai Winnsboro n e e d s, especially when it is coupled with gettin rid of Lhat most abominable olc eye-.or-, the county jail. But soaxta seem to think that it oughi to be built by private parties. Certainly that would be the very thing, if it were anywhere withix the range of possibilities. But it is not, and, if the town has tc wait for it to be done this way, it will be some years yet before thi's need will be supplied. The only way to have the hall is for the town to go ahead and build it; there is nothing to gain and all to. lose by indefinitely post poning it. Judge George E. Prince has a mighty poor opinion of a white man who will gamble with a negro. Judge Prince's sentiments will be endorsed by every self-respecting white man and by every self-respecting negro. Negroes do not respect a white man who puts himself on their level, and it is always the low white men who cause the conflicts be tween the races.-Anderson Mail. And from an instance in point right here in Winnsboro, it would appear that there are a great many other people who look at this matter in the same way as does his Honor. A few weeks ago Sheriff Hood hauled in a party of' eleven gamblers. Six of these were white and five were negroes. All five of the negroes were out on bail within a few days after their arrest. So far only one of the whites has been released. Of course the negroes were taken out by white men, who have them under a contract that is no doubt drawn so that it would not make it advisable for them to try to get away. Why could not the white men get some one to go their bond on the same condition? Surely it can not be that they prefer prison life to work, however unpleasant it may be. The trouble is simply this: when white men sink to so low a level, they lose the confidence of their follow-man and are not to be trusted under any circum stances. The white man that prefers gambling with negroes to honest work is a "goner," and (when caught in such gaming can only hope to spend his days in jail till the eourts can pass upon his case. His negro associate may fail back upon the hope that some white man will take care of' him by providing him with work, but the white man can not have the hope that any of his fellow cit'zens will risk their money on his appearance in court with or without the pledge of iworking it nnt. 1 COUNTY CONVENTION MONDAY. as - an Precinct Clubs Reorganize and Elect' Delegates. st Next Monday at noon, County sb Chairman Brice will call the Fairfield Democratic convention to order.

This is of such common occurrence that a cold, how ever slight, should not be disregarded. Chamberlain's Cough Remedy counter acts any tendency of a cold to result in penumnonia, and has gained its great popularity and extensive sale by its prompt curse of this most common ailment. It always cures and is pleasant to take. For sale by Obear Drug Co. and all medicine dealers. Prize for a Town Map. The News and Herald is always interested in the study of local history and geography. We believe that boys and girls should be taught a little about the his tory and geography of their county and town as well as of that of distant lands and the isles of the sea. It not infre quently happens that the pupils of a school do not even know the names of the streets of the town in which they live. Every school boy and school girl should not only know the names of the streets, but should also be able to draw a map of their town. We want to see that the pupils of Mt. Zion are given this drill in local geography and to this end we are going to offer a prize for the best map of the town made by any -pupil of this historic school. The prize will be a year's subscription to t h e Youths' Companion or anything else of equivalent value that the superintendent may select. The prize will be awarded on the closing day of the school to the pupil, whose map has been ad judged the best by a committee selected for this purpose. It will be open to all the grades and it is to be hoped that the teachers will make use of this offer to stimulate an interest in the pupils in this very necessary dletail of their education. There should be some good maps of the town of Winnsboro to be ex Libited on the closing day as the esult of this small prize, which s offered not so much for its t ntrinsic value as for the purpose ( >f stimulating~ an interest along. he lines suggested.
