NEWS AND HERALD' WINNSBORO, S. C. .FRANK FOOSHEI Editor and Proprictor. PUBLISHED WE EKLY TERMS, IX ADV&XCE: One Year,.................... --50 Six Months.................... .75 Wednesday, August 15, 1906. The types make one of our exchanges in commenting upon the frequency with which can didates call each other liar that there was a time when that term would cause a "dual." T h a t seems to be the case now. Our candidates says to the other, "You are a liar." And he says, "You're another-" That seems to be a dual application of the term. Those who favor the making of an additional levy for a few years till the present debt of the county is paid usually express them selves as being opposed to the making of an extra levy, after the debt has been cancelled, for the purpose of getting the county on a cash basis. Such a policy would be the surest way of get ting it in debt again. The county should be run on a cash basis. Even if the county does not add the discount making the claims worth their face value, the. system which is criticized at the present time, it will have to buy on time prices and these would often amount to more than the dis counts and the interest. It is all rot to talk about the county can get its supplies on credit just as cheap as for the cash. Sensible business men do not conduet their business on any such foolish policy as that. That part of the investigation commission's report that gives the county's indebtedness at only $17, 000 is misleading in that the sink ing fund note which was then due had in the mean time been paid by giving a new note and so did not appear as a debt against the. county previous to January. But none the less it has not in fact been paid and is still a debt against the county and must be reckoned with in making any estimate as to relieving t h e county in its pre sent financial condition. Even if the county could be so fortunate as to get out of paying the debt of the Good Roads Machinery Company and the amounts that it is now due for interest and discounts on claims now outstanding, though it is to be hoped that no effort will be made to refuse the pay ment of these debts made in good faith at a critical time to the county, it is very certain there will be no possiblty of getting out of the payment of this obliga tion to the State of South Caro lia. So in no event is this debt less than $24,000 and it is more than probable that i; is going to take $28,000 to pay it. 'Th County Campaign opene a (Tecounty campag Opened a this was a big picnic occasion with svrlhnrdpeet The speaking was in the grove adjoining the school house. The day was without any special fea hires. All the candidates for the house of representatives declared themselves on the whiskey ques tion, all being for the state dis pensary except Hon. A. Homer Brice. The crowd, was a very orderly one, there was little ap plouse and no interruption of the speakers. HOUsE OF REPRESENTIVES. T. S. Brice: Was profoundly. grateful for. the honors conferred upon him by the people of Fair field in the past. Would declare himself unreservedly upon the issue of the campaign, as he had unlimited confidence in the voice of the people. Upon the para mount question, the dispensary, he helped to pass the dispensary law in the beginning and h a s even been strong supporte of it. Prohibition must even be a failure unless you ein start with the fountain head, the federal govern-i ment. There is more whiskey sold in Maine per capita than in Indiana or Illinois. Whiskey is going to be sold. and its ;salie should be regulated and t h e revenue used for good ends. It is the duty of all good citizens to uphod te law. A Christian should consider it his duty to take any place in the dispensary for which he might be chosen, even should he be unchurched. The drink bill is less in South Carolina than in other states. The dispensary was the only issue upon which Mr. Bric~e declared and he closed by ex pressing good luck to the state ~ dispensary.. W. W. Dixon: Declared him- I self fully in favor of the dispensary a law. It was started in a time of a factionalism. The press and the C pulpit declared against it in the 8 beginning and had been against it evel sine,. and were largely responsible for its violations. It is an insult to say that a man who is in favor of the dispensary is in favor of corruption. Be 3anse a few men have gone astray loes not argue that the law is wrong. Deal with the men who corrupt the law rather than the law itself. The Raysor-Manning. bill, strikes at -all corruption. County dispensaries u n d e r individual control mean high license. Mr. Dixon here read a letter showing that the freight rates were such that a barrel of whiskey could be shipped to Columbia and back to Winnsboro for 35 cents less than directly to Winnsboro. As a matter o f business the county dispensaries would not do. He would vote for the repeal of the Brice law, because it makes the vote of a negro as good as that of a white man. He then called attention to that Monticello resolution which provided for changes in the present rules for voting in the primary, and told how a similar resolution had been ap posed in the county convention in Winnsboro and later in the state convention at Columbia. H o then called upon all to see that their - clubs two years hence elected delegates in favor of Bryan and in closing amused the crowd much by making himsel the choice in any grouping of the candidates, by size, age, etc. Chas Leitner: Would devote his time to education, immigra tion, good roads and the liquoi problem. He was heartily in favor of both higher and lowex edueation. He would have every school brought to where its pupih could enter a college direct. Al this talk about terming dispen sary money for the schools blood money is damnable rot. The superinterdent o f education should receive more pay and be a man who could lead his teachers in matter of education. Immigra tion would help to solve the edu cational problem. The lien law is not responsible for all the ills attributed to it. Better banking facilities will help to sulve the lien law problems. As to good roads the man not in favor of them is a fool beyond redemp tion. But it is impossible to get something for nothing and so the people would have to pay for them. Nature has supplied rock and sand and clay and they need to be used in the right way. Could not stand for probibition because it is impractical, as long as the U. S. Government winks at thie sale of whiskey. The dispensary is a stepping stone to prohibition. Was apposed to local option and does not favor high license. J. G. McCants: Brought his commission back untarnished and unsullied and would only ask for election again by virtue of the confidence and esteem of the people of the county. He be lieved the state dispensary the best solution of the whiskey problem. He had seen less in temperance in Winnsboro in the last 13 years than ever before. The dispensary was free from the attractions of the barroom::. He had voted against the Morgan bill and in favor of the Raysor Manning bill. Was opposed to compulsory education because of its impracticability and its inva sion of the rights of parents, in flicting hardships upon these who would find it hard to comply with the law. Was heartily in favor of the bill in favor of cou~nty high schools. On the question of the issuance of bonds he was in favor-of that as the best way nt d the county's present finanial condition. A Homer B3rice: Had voted against every increase for appro priations. State is top-heavy,w to speak, in higher intitutious f learning. Clemson is getinu to' much money. In rt'ani ,t( t) county's finances hnd n~ te: 1905 for the levy askd I Supervisor Burley. G ave a e torr of the bund issue bil given in the statement p'd I li h elsewhere. Said tha t a~ v - against the bond issue woub'l b a vote for the delegsttion t. iin crease tax levy. The conauty could not get out of paying that Good Roads Machinery Co. note and the amounts now due for dlis count and interest without a suit. Had voted for the Morgan bill, which provided for option be tween county dispensaries uad prohibition. The State dispaz ary is the middle man which in 3reases thbe expenses of the selling~ >f whiskey. From a business standpoint county dispensaries are far better. Terrell county, 3'ra., has to pay no taxes as its iispensary profits pay all ex-' >enses. Fairfield by the county lispensary plan should get 816, )00 where it now gets less than ~10,00 -for county, town and choos. He gave some heavy) iits at the present method of' naking the chemical analysis and old how lower grades are sold in outh Carolina under the same ame as hig'her grades in other tates. To say that the people of county could not settle these uestions is to distrust one's self! nd his neighbor. WITHOUT OPPOSITION. A 1ete, was rad from .Tudge Bsoom, expressing his regrets at not being able to be present on account of his recent sickness. Mr. Scruggs thanked the people for the fine vote given him twc years ago and promised faithful service if re-elected treasurer. FOR AUDITOR. E. F. Pagan: T1old of his work in the office and made the expla nation as found elsewliere of how the number of delinquents had increased. Was working hard tc get the work of the office in bet ter shape than ever before and hope to be continued. R. C. Stevenson: Was an ex pert in the baby-'kissing act. Was a full-fledged Democrat. Prom ised, if elected, lie would fill the office to the best of his abiliti and his work would bear gooc fruit to the county. FOR SUPERviSOR. T. C. Leitner: Our system o working roads is rotten to thi core. The organization of th< chaingang has proven a demorali zation of the whole road-workin; system. The chaingang will havE to be discontinued and every mai made to work the roads as in thi past or the chaingang continue( and every man be made to pay A direct tax should be had for th support of the roads. All worl on bridges should be made of th best mate:ial. All the presen indebtedness is illegal, becaus the supervisors have disregarde( the law. J. B. Burley: Came to the offic at an unfavorable time. Th chaingang system the best th county have ever had. Not re sponsible for the road law, th belongs to the legislators. Thi debt, when he went into office much larger than he thought Found difficulty at first in placin! the county paper. The county' debt bad been increased less thai $500 the past year. The detail of the office had prevented hin from giving the roads his ver best attention. Was now inl better position to direct the affair of the office and that everythin( in the office was now in goo< shape. COUNTY SUPT. OF EDUCATION. On account of the lateness o the hour the two speakers for thi office iade but few remarks Capt. T. M. Jordan spoke in favo: of rural high schools and urgei that white people take a lessoi from the negro, who is losing n< opportunity to make the best o his school advantages. Mr. C. A .Robinson said he was agains compulsory education because o the poverty of Mhe people and th4 negro. Both promised to fill th~ office well if elected. The meeting was closed with short speech by Dr. Strait, candi date for congress. Mn. Finle: was not present. lie L.oves to Work Stag Brand Semri. Paste Paint--"The Two for One Kind." Messrs. Hirshberg, Hollander & Co.: Gents-I can honestly say witi my 25 years experience-Stag Paint will cover more square feel than any paint I have ever used It spreads easy and freely, and is v .ry brilliant when finished. I love to work it. Yours truly, Minter & Speck, Way nesboro, Pa. The man who hats Stag Brand Semi-Brand Paint for his work, rests easy, because he knows that he has the best article money can buy, and is assured of a satisfac tory job. For sale by Jno. H.

Wher? GO-FLY goes flies will not go. Use it on your Horses and 'attle. Guaranteed by Stevenson & Damon and Pythias. The gmaVt, "Dmo1dP t ias" will be presented at h h e ThespiaU Hall OU next Friday evening by Mr. Edouard D'Oize, a young actor from Baltimore who comes highly recommended, and who will be seen in the role Of Damon which he has played with great success on many Ocea sious. Mr. D'Oize gave the play in Columbia last February at the time of the big Pythian celbra tion, and sineo then he has put it on in nearly every other town in this state and in many towns in North Carolina. On this oc casion he will be assisted by a cast from Rathbone Lodge No. 79, of Chlester, except the parts of Calanthe and Hermion, which will be played respectively by Mrs. D'Oiz'e, and Mrs. W. H. Phillips o f Ridgeway. Mr. F D'Oize states that this is one of the bost casts he has ever had for the play, and promises a finished performance. Pythias will be played by Mr. Z. V. Davidson, Deputy Grand Chan cellor ol this district, who is in every way suited to the require I of the role. Mr. J. R. Dye, the former principal of Greenbrier graded school, will be seen as Dionysius, the tyrant king of Syracuse. Philistius, the presi dent of the senate, Mr. G C. Latimer; Damocles, Mr. C. E. I Darby; Procles, Mr. J. Stanley Lewis; Luculius, the slave of 3 Demon, Mr. W. J. Irwin, editor of the Chester Reporter; a n d 3 Damon's child, little Adelyne - Hood. Many of the players are t well known in Winnsboro, and no doubt will be accorded a hearty welcome. Mr. D'Dize carries all the costumes for the play and they are very elaborate a n d historically correct. Every Pythian in Winnsboro should witness the performance as it is the story upon which his order is founded; he should be .accompanied by his wife, daugh ter, sister or sweetheart; he should induce his friends to be present, also. It is a play of the highest type, ranking with the best in the English language. The tickets are on sale at the McMaster drug store. Arrangement have been made to provide for the comfort of the audience and electric fans will be placed within the house to keep the atmosphere cool and comfortable, besides which, a palm leaf fan in every seat, and ice water served between the acts. The following is from the Columbia State: "The house .was filled with Knights and their friends, and the reception of the play was enthusiastic. The story of the play, intensely interesting and thrilling, relates the experiences of the two friends, Damon and I Pythias, and vividly portrays I their devotion and. love for each . other. The performance was in many respects the most brilliant success ever achieved by a n amateur cast in this city. Every detail was carefully attended to, and the large audience present showed its appreciation b y frequent bursts of applause, and many curtain calls, were given. The production was staged under the direction of Mr. Edouard D'Oize of Baltimore, and the excellence of the performance testifies to the care and thorough ness with which he instructed each member of the cast. The Damon of Mr. D'Oize was ex cellent, and his rendition of the most difilcult passages shows him to be an actor of marked ability." STREET ItnPROVEMENT. A Statement from Mayor Ketchin as Proposed Bonds for Street Improve ments. To the Citizens of Winnsboro. The town council is desirous of making permanent improvements in the pavements of 'the town. I As a beginning, they would like to build cement sidewalks on Congress street, from the corner1 of College to the corner of Moul-, ( trie streets, both sides. This work will cost about $7,500.00. ( In order to do this work, it w:ill be necessary to issue bonds f .r this amount. The bonds issu'd some years ago for building Mt. ( Zion College mature in 1911, five S years hence. The amount of f these college bonds is $7,000.00, the rate of interest seven per I cent. Our plan is this: increase the tax levy one mill, from five to six. Use this extra mill for Tr the purpose of aiding in paying C off the college bonds at maturity. ~ One mill will raise about $650.00. n This amount can be placed each year in the savings department of1 our banks, at four per cent in terest. This, at the expiration a of five years, will pay one half the college bonds, and the balance can then be provided for. We ~ think the balance, or a good part a of it, can be paid from the town di treasury by that time, Our opinion is that if conditions con tinue as they now are, at the expiration of five years, we will 1 are the cement pavements, and he bonded debt will be prac iclly the same as it now is. In order for the council to-issue ee bnds, it will be necessary o hold an electiton on the ques. ion. Iii order to hold an elec ion, it will be necessary to have petition presented to the town ot1ueil reqistinig the election -igned by a majority of the free iolders of the town. At an early lay, a committee will present to bo froch-vIlders such potition. I sinvvrely 1101)0 this step will neet the approbation of t i e ;itizenis of the town. Very respectfully, T. H. Ketchin, Mayor. Ir. Thornwell's Work Commended. In notin g the closing of the Richliand summer schocl, The State makes the following note a)f the work of Mr. Thornwell, the new elected superintendent of Mt. Zion Institute: Mr. Thornwell is of the Winns boro schools. He had the popu lar branches of arithmetic and United States history. His learn ing in each clearly manifested it self to those under his instruction. Mr. Thornwell is a young man, of kind disposition, amiable and pleasing to all. His earnest ef forts to give proper methods in the instruction of such important branches met with entire success. This is the first year that Mr. Thornwell has been engaged in summer work, but his presence and influence aided so materially in the success of the school it is not believed that his service can be over looked when the facnlty is chosen for the school in the summer of 1907. rlagazine Supplement. The magazine supplement which we have been sending out for the past year was discontinued with the one that was sent out last week, as its publication has been temporarily suspended by the company supplying it. T h i s feature has cost us $ L.30 per week and though it perhaps added no subscribers to our list, we were glad to continue it as we felt that its circulation was to the great ' enefit of cur subscribers, espe cially those living in the country. Sending it out owas wholly in keeping with our policy to give the very best paper possible for the money. Luck for The News and Herald. The inconvenience of getting water has always been an an noyance at the News and Herald office, where a great deal of water is required for the washing of type, etc. In fact it has never been possible to get as much as was really necessary and so the type have not always been kept just as clean as it should have been. But this great barrier has been remcmed and now we have right at our back door a well 98 Feet deep, which is supplying between five and six gallons of fine water per minute. This well was driven, by Mr. R. T. Matthews who is now well equipped for bhis work and understands how to get a well all right. There is ao greater convenience on a place than a good well and there i~s no >ther form of well so good as one f these driven wells, which are ored in the same way- as a n irtesian well. See him if you ire in need of a good well. Just is soon as we can, we are going ;o connect our pump to our ;asoline engine and have a small water works system of our own. ;T.-TEMENT OF THE CONDITION OF TH E WINNSBORO BANK, ocated at Winnsboro, S.
