P UBLISHED WEEKLY TUEXS, IN ADVA2NCS: One Year ................... ... . 1.50 Six Monts................... 75 Wednesday, Sept. 12, 1906. Hurrah for Fairfield! Ansel and Lyon carry the county despite the fact that Fairfield has been counted upon as a dis pensary stronghold. From many references to the matter in the various pape.-s of the state it would seem that Clemson college is better stocked with bed bugs than with any other representatives of t h e animal kingdom. The grand jury will make its final presentment for this calendar year at the court of general ses sions next week. It is to be hoped that this report, which will deal with the financial affairs of the county, will b e carefully made. The examina tion of the books of the various county officials is too important a matter to be dealt . with in a half-hearted way. - A genuine attack of good road fever prev ailing throughont the county at this time would prove a great blessing. Good roads are the best paying investment that a people can make for their en joyment of life and the increasing the value of their real estate and stimulating industries now im possible on account of the lack of facilites in getting their pro ducts to market. Rock Hill will not issue any more licenses for bucket shops. Good for the town and for Mayor Roddey, whose determined stand brought about this wise action on the p art of the council. Now, let the State of South Carolina fol low the good example of Georgia and North Carolina and pass a law putting the bucket shops out of the State so that no town council can license these gam bling institutions. Away with the buckets shops. The present indications are none too flattering for a high price of cotton this fall. As heretofore we do not dare to give any advice as to the matter of holding cotton. However, with the time for the sowing of grain at hand we again want to advise that ihrmers do not neglect the grain crops. There is no better way for the improving of the lands than the sowing of them in grai'n-and then following the next summer with peas. It has been demonstrated over that there is no better profit to the farmer than that results in the increased value of his lands. The sowing *of grain will be a step towards reaping this much desired profit, that will be a constantly paying dividends each succeeding year. The opening of the schools throughout the county during this month brings the parents squarely to consider the issue of what they are going to do for their children in the matter of educating them. There is neede d no argument at this time to con vince any thoughtful parent that the best place of all for the boy or the girl is in the school room. Nor should there be any need of argument to impress upon them that the right time to start tiie pupils is the first day of t b e session. Every day there is delay in entering a pupil that onae is at a loss and the work of the *school in a measure is hindered. The wise parent is going to put his boy and his'girl to school and have them there on* the openiag day or just as soon thereafter as possible. If any boy or girl is kept home to do some work in stead of being required to go to school, the work should certainly be required of them. If there is anything that is heartsickening it is to go into' a community and find boys and girls kept away from school on the pretense that their services are needed at home and then not required to do the work for which they are sup posedly detained. Soon the colleges will be open ing and from the present indi cations the attendance updn the colleges of South Carolina this year will be the largest in the history of the State. This is a most gratifying condition and bespeaks volumes for the future of this section, The dema~nd for men and women of education is ~ constantly increasing and to meet this demand is the growing need of the hour. The parent who is 1 financially able to put his child ren to college can make no better investment for their future hap. piness and propserity than to give them the best educational advantages Parents of ano L. imited means wih be amply re ?aid if by making sacrifices they :an make it possible fbr their boys or their girls to get the benefits of a college education. The bny or the girl, whose parents are not able to send them to col lege, will find a rich reward for themselves and their parents in the years to come, if they will devise some means for getting an education. In the matter of getting a college training the old adage, "where there is a will, there is a way," applies with peculiar force and has b e e n demonstrated so many times that no one need have doubt as to its full significance. It is a matter of regret to us that in the first primary the Hon. A. Homer Brice failed to receive enough votes to re-elect him as a representative of Fairfield county in the general assembly. Mr. Brice is a yodng man of fine parts, successful in his business under takings and of positive convic tions on public questions. While he did little talkingin the legisla tive halls, his position was always well known to his colleagues and he won the admiration of all for his decided and positive stands. It was always known how he was going to vote and he was always there to cast his vote. He was heartily against the state dispen-' sary and equally in favor of compulsory education, in both of which positions he was in our opinion altogether right. In looking after the financial in terests of the county from t b e standpoint of a representative he took a very decided interest, in troducing the bill providing for an election on the issuance of bonds. All in all he served his county faithfully and well and it is a misfortune for Fairfield that his views on the dividing question were such that he was left at home. He retires for the moment from public life with a record for a faithful discharge of his duty that is all to his credit and such that will make his services needed at a later time under a change of opinion in this county on the dispensary, as there is sure to be. Strother btraws. The continued rains have caused a considerable amount of discour agement among the farmers in this section. It is feared that cotton is right badly damaged. The protracted meeting at Rock Creek church, lasting from August 26th until the 30th, was very well attended, though there were no accessions to the chuich. Miss Estelle Cornwell of Ches ter county has been elected teach er of the Rock Creek school, and assumed her duties the first of last week., Miss May Blackwell of Due West is again teaching the Pine Grove school. Her many friends gladly welcomed her back. Mrs. C. W. Green of Waco, Texas, en route from Boston, Mass., to Waco, stopped over for a ten days' visit with her sister, Mrs. G. B. Pearson. Mrs. R. W. Gaillard, after a visit of four weeks in her native county, left last Monday for her home in Alexandria, Va. Miss Nellie Pearson, who spent several months in Alexandria, Va., has returned home. Miss Geneva Pettigrew of Co lumbia, who spent several weeks with Mrs. James I. Long, has re turned home. Mrs. Staples of Spartanburg has been on a visit to her parents, Mr. and Mrs. A. W. Ladd. Mrs. J. W. Ladd has returned from Union, where she visited relatives. N. For Over Sixty Years. MRS.

C. 9-12-4t GETable Cutlery-A N i e e T -Mt. Zion Open Monday. The fall sessioh of Mt. Zion Institute will commence on Mon day September the 17th at nine o'clock. The coursed of study is practically the same as that of last session; wherever it was possible the principal has adopted ihe books chosen by the state board for the schools of the state. It is especially desirable that all pupils be present the first day. It saves time for the teachers and gives the pupil the advantage of getting started to work at once. Parent's are asked to co-operate with ._e teachers in seeing that pupils are present on time during the whole year. A tardiness of a few minutes in itself is a small matter, but the example is a very serious one. Each teacher intends to give his very best effort, but without the support of the parents he will be very greatly hanpered. All complaints -from parents will receive the careful attention of the superintendent. The tuition will be the same as formerly: High school de partment $2.50 per m o n t b, eighth grade for other than English branches $1.00 p e r month, outside of district in common school branches $1.00 per month, Each pupil is re guired to piy an entrance fee of 50 cents. - J.

The columns of The News and Herald are not used for abusing subscribers in arrears by saying naughty things about them or to republish expressions of t h i s kind. However, as the cash-in advance system is not strictly adhered to, it is found necessary now, and then to remind those in arrears not to overlook this little matter. As court will be in ses sion next week, there should be many to come forward with the cash for what they are due. Of course, if you are not going to be in town yourself, why it will be easy enough for you i send it in by some one else. We are confidently expecting many sub- I scribers to respond to this little! reminder. 17mWe have just received a, car load of bloody horses and mares that we are selling worth the money.

In regard to the shooting ofi George Sawyer neard Strother| some three weeks ago, Magi-1 strate Blair wrote The State the* following statement: Please correct a false state ment published in Wednesday's State last week, as to the shoot ing, capture and escape of one George Sawyer. At first thought I would not make a correction, but after thought, I feel it too much of an injustice to myself and the good citizens of this com munity to let this slanderous re port pass without a correction of the facts. This is simply a case of a law less negro defying and resisting a lawful arrest, which we so often read about, but such seldom occurs hereabouts. The result in this case is George Sawyer is a pretty badly shot negro, who is still in the house where he r e sisted arrest, attended by a physician, and just as soon as he aan be safely moved to jail he: will be committed with a view to: inswer to two charges-house breaking and stealing-againist liim in the next court of general SessiOns. George Sawyer carried a shot gun, threatened the life of his wife or woman he stayed with and :>thers, and also the constables w'ho could never get right up to aim until he was fooled into a< aouse, where he was shot resist ng arrest.
