NEWS AND HERALD1 WINSBORO, 6. C. J. FRANK FOOSHE Editor and Proprietor. ] PUBL1HED WEEKLY TZBXS. IN ADVANCE:t one Year.................. -1.50 Six Months.................. .75 Wednesday, October 10, 1906. The best evidence of the pros perity of this section is the in creasing interest in education, as is shown in the increased at tendance upon all the colleges. And this is the basis for hope for still greater prosperity in. the yours to come. Education and prosperity go hand in hand. A home with beautiful sur roundings on the outside sug geste' that there is happiness within. Nothing counts f o r mere in making the home beauti ful than trees laden with rich ripe fruit. Every passer-by envies such a home and only wishes that such were his good fortune. With only -a i t t l e trouble and expense every home can have these lovely surround ings that add to making t h e home beautiful and to th.e hap piness and healb of its owupants. Now that the time for the settinag out of fruit trees is so near at hand, around every home there should be making preparations for having more fruit. The re sults will more than justify the efforts that it will require. The first vessel bringing im migrants directly to the South will land at Charleston early in November. This opening of the Charleston port to European im migration has been brougt about through the persistent efforts of Secretary Watson of the Depart ment of Immigration and Com merce. Every effort is being put forth to find as desirable op enings for these immigrants, when they arrive, as possible. Secretary Watson will be glad to hear from any paities desiring to try any of these immigrants in any way at all. Such parties should write him in Columbia, stating how many immigrants they want, for what service and at what wages. Parties so writ ing will be listed among those desiring to employ these white people and as far as possible their wishes will be e->mpaied with. Cotton is king. It takes its ~ place right to the very front of all the agricultural products of the world. There is no crop grown that gives employment to more people in its production and the same is true of the number em ployed in- converting the raw S material into the manufactured product. And Tet despite this *place of royalty there is no crop that is handled with more crude ness in all its stages than this leading staple of the South. This is seen in the preparation of the soil and in its cultivation. But more especially is this true of the mainer in which it is bandied after being brought from the field. It is piled away in almost any old house and in any kind of a way. In most instances -it is hauled off to some gin and the time consumed in getting it ginned and placed on the market is enormous. There is the team and the hands for hauling it to the gin, the wait at -the gin which is often for hours at a time, the hauling the cotton and the seed back home, and then hauling them again to market. This all takes time and labor and cuts big holes into the profits. Tc the farmer who gins from 50 tc 100 bales these costs run up so high, that he might well consider the advisabiltiy of having his own1 gin. Then, too, there are nor palatial roads for hauling this royal crop to market over. And. tbe time thus Iost adds greatly to piling up the expenees anid takingc s~till other slices out of the profits There is need for sober thought on the part of farmers along thes' lines, especially in view of the increasing labor problems, and for business action that will bring about more sane and sensible? methods and means for handling their greatest crop.

A Word to Parents. The following editorial b y Captain Charles Petty, the kind and wise editor of the Carolina Spartan, has wholesome counsel for thoughtful consideration for parents who have entered their children in the city school. Capt. Petty says: "Next week the school children will have the right of way on the streets for an hour in the morn ing and in the afternoon. While they have the right of way they are not entitled to a monopoly of the sidewalks. Let the teachers instruct them to keep on the right and leave the left side for those they meet. They will not get this instruction at home, for] parents and "grown ups" have I not learned this lesson. But we] leave the management of the] school to the teachers and turn our attention to the parents,c many of whom think they havei done their full duty when they get their children ready for school.. Learning the A. B. C.'s and get- I ting and reciting lessons is nots the only aim of the school. It s would be a poor affair if that was f all. The most important lessons a relate to character. Between the ~ years of 6 and 12 these virtues, or the lack of them are established; ruthfulness, kindness, neatness in dress and person and good behavior everywhere and on all o ecasions. Parents. should un- S erstand that they have constant f mnd caroful work to perform in n ;raining their children. They v ~hould begin by setting a good y ~xample. The mother with a Ic itter, grumbling, fault finding Ih ongue, will be imitated by the fa bidren. The pairents that are lways censuring teachers ma;y y ~xpect their children to be- nuraly it nd unmanageable. Frorm the it irty, slovenly kept home, dirty i; ~bildren will go to the school.v Che father that uses tainted .8 anuage in the bo-no may espect as children to grow up with 3 mclean lips.

The parents tan help the t.eachers by getting ' quinted with them, showing a*L 1elpful sympathy f',r them, visit- .. g the school r omI and n.' a l g fault be-fore the chiildre~n If! here should be can-e fir comi >laint, go to the trachers in the irst place. Do not go to "romt" ier after the manner of some. but tate your case fairly and hear he teacher's side. TFhe teacher s your friend and not au enmy.~ she needs all the help you c.iu ;ive her in bringing up your bhild. While in one sense she akes the place of the parenrs,I ihe does not take a single duty >ff their hands. Let every parei:t ho has a child in school become~ n assistant and helper of the. eacher. Make this the mo. t rofitable school year the city ias ever had." A gentleman who was once stop ed by an old man begging re ied: "Don't you know, my om, ;hat fortune knocks once at eve.y nan's door?"

It is announced that the govern ment will look more carefully to the enforcement of its rule re garding the roads over which rural free delivery is established. The present requirement is: "Roads traversed shall be kept in good condition an unobstructed by gates; there must not be any unbridged creeks or streams not fordable at any season of the year." In many cases the resi dents along proposed routs have made improvements that enable them to obtain rural delivery service, but sometimes the efforts to keep up the roads are relaxed. but the government has decided that unless the roads traveled by the carriers are properly main tained the service will be with drawn: The Postoffice Depart ment now calls on -the carriers for reports on the road, and will stop the serviee where the high way in question are bad. The 35,973 rural delivery car riers now employed cover 863,363 miles daily, and it is unreasonable to expect them to contend with neglected roads, or to walk for communities lacking the enter prise to keep their common high way in decent shape. Wherever a route is discontinued the in habitants themselves to. be te blame for it, for if alive to their own interests and duty to the public they would give their roads vigorous and constant attention. The idea that a route onced au thorized is necessarily permanent is a mistake. Advice on the best roads methods is supplied by the Agriculture Department, and a neighborhood that loses its rural delivery must itself bear the discredit for so- unpleasant and humiliating an event. Gospel Truth. A community torn by dissen sions. rent asunder by strife and contentior-the people ready always to fly at each other's throats on account of rivalry and petty jealousies-can never hope to succeed. The universal broth erhood of man is constantly de ferred and the end of time will appear before this great desidera tum can be brought about, unless man shall be brought to the realization of this, his dominant, weakness.
