"We have withheld full comment on

we understand, is a young: man, and it
would have been especially unfortunate

money into his own pocket. It is to
be regretted that the circumstances of
the case hare been such that his
explanation couldn't have come
sooner.
His statement delivers him from
criminal intentions. A. man's
good character is worth a great
deal in this world. It is about all
some of us have to carrr us through
life, and it should afford no pleasure
t? a high and right-minded man to see
one's character wrecked. Mr. Thackston
was, unfortunately, put i? pe
cuiiany suspicious ci.cuwisiiinuco
far as the general .public could tell,
and the public had the right to d?maud
how came it so. He has extricated
himself and deserves exoneration at
the hands of the public so far as a
crime is concerned.
His statement fully explains his
position aad that of the Superintendant
of Education.
31 r. Joaes' Charge*.
( Tri- Weekly Xeir* and Herald, July 1.)
The Rev. U. Herbert Jones makes
some very serious charges against Thk
News ani> Herald. They are so
grave and .sweeping that we shail not
pass them over without comment, and
we shall deal with them as openly and
freely as they are preterrcd. If they
L? could be sustained, then 'twere better
for the moral, social, religious and
material welfare of thii community
had The News and Hekald suspended
publication "some eighteen
months a20," at least.
The News and Herald is a private
^ enterpiise, but in a certain sense it belongs
i?-xhe public. Its policy and
genera! management as a newspaper
are alwa_\s opened to public criticism,
provided the criticism i* made in respectful
language; and the editors will
ever be ready and willing to hold
themselves responsible lor the taste of
Mrliot- ie rmMichpri ft? I1CWS. [he VlCWS
expressed in the editorial column, and
the genera! policy of the paper. We
feel no inclination in the present instance
to shirk our responsibility, and,
therefore, we say to you, Mr. Jones,
that we stand on our record, and if you
can tear that record, or even the record
of "some eighteen months," into frazihpn
we shall vri:h the pieces
and perish with them. We chalieiine
Mr. Jones, who has been here ;,io<ne
eighteen months," or anybody who lias
been here during the whole time of the
present management of this paper, to
"* *??? point out a cleaner secular newspaper
in this or any other State. This is as
sweeping a generalization as are the
charges alleged l?y Mr. Jones, but we
are ready to stand by ir. We thi&k

and appreciation of it in the past have
been blunt, we want to knew it?that

by Mr. Jones. We have made
some profession of conducting this.
paper on such a plane that no man
need fear to read it before his family,
however delicate and aesthetic may be
his sense of propriety, and we have
been scrupulously particular in eliminating
whatever news was low and
vu'gar, and have striven to elevate and
r.ot degrade our readers?that is to
siy, we thought we were suppressing
what might be distasteful to some of
ill? fastidious. It our ( entimems h ive
not been high enough, if we have
moved on a plane too low, we want to
be taught better?that is to say. we
shall welcome Mr. Jones' assistance
and accept it as freely and respectfully
as he oilers his suggestions and criticisms
this morning. If we have
tacitly and passively suppressed ''the
highest and best sentiments of this
town," and have beets the instruments
of teaching that which is low, meau
ami vulgar, have s>ugbt to drag our
readers through fiilh, and contributed
nothing to "truth and the prosperity
ot our people," then we have mistaken
false for true and true tor false. The
News and Herald is uot a religious
paper; but if it has, bv its utterance*,
encouraged a low staudard of morality,
then we want to know i?r but we shall
demand strict proof ol it by facts. If
Mr. Joues thinks that he can prove it,
we offer him free access to the private
files of Tue News and Herald, and
tie may searcn until lie mar&naus las
facts ia iuch a formidable array that
the editors, the local reporter, the
printers and e>f:ii the pressman are
driven from tiie office in shame which
publishes a sheet, reporting to IUe.
world that "here in Wimnboro bar
reoms, balls ana Diooaea stoc-K are our
chief concern," and that seldom, if
aver, gives notice to. those , things
''which go to ihe formation of a belter
a:sd healthier sentiment," but reports
those things which "are operating
ayaiust the highest and best interests
of this people" and seeks not "for the.
truth and the prosperity of our people."
If you can demonstrate "this
seemingly general rule" which you
profess to have discovered, Mr. Jones,
and that the Jamp or truth nas never
passed along the pathway of The
! News and Herald, 1'rom its establishment
in 18J4 to 1S91, and that it
has been a hindrance rather than a
helper in advancing the interests of
Wlunsboro, then its missien has been
i in vain, and we shall bless your "arrival
here some eighteen months ago."
I JNow, Mr. .Joues, voa nave set . yourself
up as the apostle of "truth and the
prosperity of our people.-," and we
shall hold you down rigidly to the
profession of one who i-? interested in

past, it will not suffer this slanderous
association of our ''barroom5, balls

I We shall do that much at least for "'.he
' truth and prosperity of our people,"
Says Mr. .Jones: "There is, ap:
patently a spirit of passive antagonism
I manifested toward the spiritual wel|
fare of this town. This I have noticed
! since my arrival here some eighteen
j months ajro." What is it? How has
! it iii'on irijinifiisted? Tills is a severe
j whack and we demand that Mr. Jones
i shall establish his indictment. Tiik
News and Hek.vld is nut, a::d doe?

; Tri-Weekly. Some of Ihein thought it
; iu bad taste as it looked too much like
: advertising them-elves, and others
j were willing, but declined unlets all

Again Mr. Jones savs that "a large

i arc greeted very painfully often by
| allusions and complimentary notices of
: tilings ami measures which outrage
i their religions feelings/' Pray, what

Still some mention was made
of Mr. Patrick and his work, and Mr. J
Jones appears not to have read all ;he
papers?at least only what "outraged" <
his "religious feeling?."
Says Mr. Jones: "Your two liistj

ot this seemingly general rule," mean- j
ingf, we suppose, w|>a?Hve auiagoni>m
to the J-pixi'tr.al welfire of ihc town."
In the vcrv fir?t is'uc of ihe Tri*
Weekly of last week one column ami |
a half was devoted, and it was cheerfully
devoted and written with pleasure
by the writer, to the Y. M. C. A.
of Union Chnrch. But Mr. Jones
didn't read it, or n no uiu. ir cuine

We have already said enough, bat

j to say to him, I hut if lie now offers his

"some eighteen months" why hasn't

say is the caser then by your own passivciie.*?,
Mr. Jone?, you hare held

It ntlonU u< pkufiiiv. Mr. .Jones, to j
note that that splendid alliteration '

and we record withpleasure, that you '
initialed no slander "upon the chivairy, j
culture and refinement of our people.!

this fair town.*5 It was .simply the

blooded storkv together, and connected
by :i coordinate conjunction,
and impliedly all tinder the. general
head of immoral things andtliat could
properly be put in the same category
'with "the thing* otherwise," was a mere
accident. It was not our object <;to
enlist the sympathetic support of those
who may he antagonized toward" your
"communication by the high coloring
of these imaginary oflcnces/' but it
was our purpose that "the outside
world" should not "form from the
local press the opinion" that reporting
balls was an outrage in Wimisboro,
-M..1 II.nf I'flnA..f7 ti/i* .1 hull IIVIJ HA
aim liiAt i tj/vi inijj * uuti ??*%./ .?v j
than reporting whatever was incident!
to a barroom, or that it was left in
doubt whether the people of Winns-'
boro considered a ball any better than
a barroein. If we can interpret your
article t?-dav "fairly" and ' 'manly"
and without exhibiting any ?how of
being' "smart," Mr. .Tones, we believe |
' I
you disclaim putting ''barrooms, balls
and blooded stock" o:ra level.
Everytliing is lopped oil' this time
except "the passive antagonism to the
spiritual welfare of this town,"' and '
this is the only and sole charge. Says
Mr. Jones: If there is any amusement
in progress or in anticipation, be it a
circus, dunce, theatrical or anything
else these receive more attention than
special church services. The former
you will hardly fail to reeognizc as
non-spiritual.' Of course, we agree
with Mr. Junes as to the non-spiritual
character of the things mentioned
and that generally speaking the nonspiritual
things will receive more extended
notice than the spiritual. Our
newspaper being secular, our readers
look to it. nrincina'lv. for secular, and
not religious news. It is devoted j
mostly to worldly news because it is. I
in a sense, of the world, and is expected
to record the social ami political
news of the day, and we hardly
think that people will go to it for
spiritual benefit. We repeat again
that it is no religious paper, it is the
advocate of no denominational creed,
but when practicable it will report all
religious news of a public interest, and
such has been, and still is, our desire.;
Now we want ilr. Jones to show that
we have "seldom, indeed, if ever" noticed
"those things which go to the
formation of a better and healihier
sentiment," meaning as we now
understand him, .since he has boiled
down his charge, the non-reporting
' 'all such things us church . meetings,
revival services, temperance aflairs."
As for "church meetings," frequently
they arc held and we get no information
of them. }Yc can't attend all the
churches on the same day. As for
"'revival services," we liave generally
reported them as well as we could.
As for "temperance affairs,'' we publish
all notices of the meetings of the
W. C. T. 1". free of charge, and used j
to publish, sometimes, a column or
more containing a story or something
of the kind illustrative of the good of
teinpcrance. These articles were fre
quently very long extracts trom outer
papers, not written by citizens of
Winnsboro. and bad frequently to bo
rejected because the ordinary current j
news of the day, actual happenings I
and events of the day, and advertise- j
racnts, which are paid for, conld not;
go in the paper if we published them.!
But we have never yet refused the I
publication of an original article on!
temperance by anyone here, and those j
we did reject were extracts, not writ- j
ten by home folks. So according to i
Mr. Jones' logic, as applied to llie?
Y. M. C. A. at I'nion, this was not
"passive antagonism to tlie .spiritual j
welfare of this town."
|
We will al-o .-tali! th.-M onto lilts |
ladies of the \V. T. C. L'. enquire I ol j
iI? what we would charge for a column
for om-\ ear. We answered them that
we would let them have ii for half
pri>:e and ivgieticd it was not so,
that they could get it free of charge j
This is business, however, an ! tins 110 j
bearing on tlie c ?ntrov??rav. As for i
uad" in irks not appearing over bar- j
room locals-, we call Mr. Jones' utten |
lion, th.it it is a j art of our contracts i
with all our advertisers to give a localj
L-ach time their advertisements are !
changed. This rule, we believe, ob- j
tains with all newspaper?,. and each- j
morning Mr. Jones will lind "new I
ilvertisement.v' at the hfead of tl.e'
local column, and who*e tUov are.
