Efforts are being made to secure another rural delivery ruute from Newberry. The Herald and News .1 be glad to see the new route es tablished and as many more as are necessary to give every citizen in the rural districts his mail at his door every day. If this effort by any chance, should for the present be un successful we are assured it will not in the least jeopardize the service we now have. If another route should be established the p..trons of the present route would have the same service they now have and those on the proposed n6w route would also be served. Then why should any one object. Let us all uite and try to get all the comforts and conveniences for the people of the rural districts. That is our platform. We want to see everybody get all the comfort and convenience it is possible to have. One,of the great draw-backs to the extension of mail delivery in the country is the condition of our public highways at certain seasons of the year. With good roads we could have many things in the country of which we are now deprived. The county campaign will formally open next Monday at Whitmire. This is the day we celebrate, and it should be a pleasant opening. We trust the campaign may be conducted on a high plane and that if there are any issues to be discused that the discus sions may be of such character as to give the people who 'hear them in formation and instruction on the questions of the day. Men may differ and differ honestly. It is well they should, for otherwise there could be nothing for debate. And yet they should differ without being personal or endeavoring to pull down their opponent and without as signing or assuming there were im pure or improper motives. Let there be a full, and a free, and a fair dis cussion of :ny questions that may come up. We notice with pleaure that the Hartford school advertizes for a teacher for a nine months' term, with a salary of S45 per month. This is a move in the right direction. Better pay for teachers and longer terms for the school. Nelson A. Miles and Sam P. Jones make a queer combination and yet the political prohibitionists are cap able of doing queer things. The state campaign wags along with very little interest. After the party leaves the Sixth district and the congressional fight is not lively it will be difficult to secure an au dience unl'ss there is some snap thrown into it. Mr. Zach McGhee, after about a year in charge of the editorial de partment of the Spartanburg Herald. has retired. He made the editorial column of the Herald interesting and readable and we regret his retirement and will be glad to see him again in active journalism. Judge Emory Speer of the United States court has recently rendered a decision in which he holds that police magistrates, or rather the 'mayor or in tendant of a towvn. has no authority to sentene to the chain ang. He holds that there is "no shred of au thority, either American or English where a sentence by a police magis trate to a public chain gang. with tho ignominious accessories of fetters the stripes, lash and of the degrada tiOn oi convict life has been sustai. ed or even palliated. Under th< American system the chain gang ha no place in the jurisdiction and pro cedure of police court where trial bi jury is not a right of the accused." This is an important decision an( if it should stand it wmuld materiall3 change matters. brt we have always understood that a mayor o:- inten dant in our state had the zame juris liction as a magistrate an6 in trying the cases before him was really act ing as a magistrate and if the accusec should demand it he had the right t trial by jury even in the police court It may be different in Georgia. It frequently happen; that cases be r a magistrate are tried by th< magistrate without a *,ury though th< accused could have obt-ined jurN trial had it been demanded. The Health of the Community. The Herald and News has at va rions and sundry times had some thing to say about the health of the community and the importance o the officers and author'ities being vigilant and taking every precautior to prevent disease. This has beer done and said with no spirit of criti cism. but only in the interest of th< tpublic weal. We have been criti I cized at times for referring to thes< things, but that has not deterred thi newspaper from speaking. The physicians tell us there is al ways a local cause for fever. I that be true it behooves all good citi zens to be active in their efforts t< find out the cause and remove it. We never realize to the fullest th< importance of this subject until th< fever comes home to us. Then it i too late. There is no epidemic o fever in the community. possibly n< more cases than may be found iT other communities of the same size but there have been several cases and if there is local cause it shoul< be our earnest endeavor to find ou what it is and remove it. The water ought to be pure if th< hydrants are properly and frequent, ly flushed. Is the garba'ge thrown out ir ditches and poor places too neai th< city? WVe do not know. WVe ar< only making inquiry. There shouh be no reason for typhoid fever her< every summer. any more than ir other places, and we do not knou~ that there is more, but certainly i there is.local cause for that we hav< the cause should be removed. Noth ing so helps a community as the good health of its citizens. TEACHER WANTED. The trustees and patrons o: Vaughnville school will meet on th< first Saturday in August at 3 o'cl.ci to elect a teacher for the next schoo term. The school will rtun 8 to months.
