Wednesday, April 17, 1912. CLEAN-UP DAY, THURS DAY, APRIL 25th, In the death of her great edu cational Governor, Charles Brant ly Aycock, North Carolina loses her best loved citizen. He was one of the South's greatest ora tors. In public duty, in high purpose and in private thinking he lived above the fog. We would like to hear from every fa-.-,_er who would care to offer sweet-potatoes for shipment next fall, We are trying to get; a market for every bushel that may be for sale. Just drop a card to The News and Herald and say what you will try to do. Just as soon as we get through with "Clean Up" ~day there is another matter we hope to get the whole town interested in, a matter that.should be of interest to every citizen of - Winnsboro. Don't think it a good idea to try to do everything at once. Doctors who examine appli cants for life insurance now-a days must get a license from the State Insurance Commissioner. Why bless your time he had to pay for his education, his diploma. his State license, and now puUl ing, the poor fellow again before he can clo business. It does seem to us :bh-t his State license should qualify him for whatever comes his way. ___ We think the Winnsboro Guards made a very creditabie showing on last Wednesday when we take into consideration the very short while in which they had to prepare for inspee tion. They have evidently been doing good, hard work. We should give them more encour agement than was given the 'fire-Fighters" last winter. Here's hoping the WVinnsboro Guards may make a showing inl the Annual Encampment that every man of the company will be proud of. We believe the com^pany is in good hands, and shall expect favorable reports from time to time. Elsewhere in the columns of; of this paper will be found no tice of Mayor C. A. Robinson, fixing Thursday, April 25thz, as "Clean-Up" day for the town of Winnsboro. We have referred; to this matter in two or three issues of this paper, and now, as the day has been set, we trust that every citizen of the town will make an effort to co-operate with the Town Fathers and help to make of the day just what the name implies. If all housekeepers would have nail holes punched in every tin can immediately after e:nptying the contents and before throwing them to one side this would pre vent the cans catching water and thereby rob the mosquito of one of his homes. What has become of the pro position to have a bigger and better County Fair next fall? The best time to swat the fly is NOW. A swat now is worth more than 100 swats later on. "When a candidate for a legis lative office. who is to help make. unmake or amend the laws that govern the citizens, seeks the suffrages of his fellow-citizens they have a right to know what he stands for; and especially if there is any public matter which they favor, or do not favor, they have a right to know what is oino- to be done about it. Often the candidate will seek to avoic direct expression by saying hE is for "whatever the peopl( want." But it is a L -.d mistakE to let it go at that. If that as surance is taken as final the can didate may think, after he i, elected, that he is to decide whai is wanted and his decision may not give satisfaction. The only safe plan is for the people to givE expression to their wishes in such way that there will be nc mistake as to what they want. There seems to be a growing tendency on the part of the peo pie of Winnsboro and Fairfield county to let the candidate knowx just what they want, and demand of the candidates that they make known what they favor. The voters have a right to be shown what they expect of candidates for the legislature. The voters have a right to make the party's policies and make the candidates stand up to the rack, if they so desire. If a candidate cannot come across with something definite before the election, the chances are that you'll not get anything definite or satisfactory out of him after the election. The can who plays up the old gag about being in favor of "'whatever the people want" hasn't backbone enough to be permitted to leave home without a body-guard. The town authorities are hav ing some needed improvements and repairs made in the Town Hall. They are endeavoring to make comfortable quarters for the spring summer courts that are coming for the accommoda tion of all those who have no job and don't want any. Death of Mr. Sam McCormick.
