3. H. AULL, EDITOR. Entered at the Postoffice at New berry, S. C.. as second class matter. FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 22, 1905. The primary for solicitor will be held some time in March. This will be a very busy time for the farmers and it is hardly probable that a full vote will be polled. There will be three or mour candidates in the race and they are all good and true men and -would make good prosecuting at torneys, so th. race will be one of personal popularity, and the state's interest will not suffer whoever may be chosen. Only one candidate has so far placed his card in The Herald and News, Mr. R. A. Cooper, of Laurens. He made the race last year against Mr. Sease and on his visits to Newberry made many friends and if no Newberry man runs will get a good vote in the coxinty. The cotton convention which was held in Columbia on Tuesday was composed of an able and rtpresenta tive body of South Carolinians. They were in earnest. They can accom plish much good for themselve:, and the cotton growing section by unan imity of action and if they stick to gether they have the key to the situ ation. It all depends upon the far mers themselves. The Herald and News said several weeks ago that the solution was to hold your cotton and reduce the acreage. That is the so lution reached by the convention and with the bankers and merchants working together and cooperating with the farmers the proolem can be solved but the farmers must solve it. Less fertilizer has been bouth up to this. time than in several years and we believe the farmers are determin ed to solve this question and to get a better price for their cotton. It will benefit them and every other in terest in this section. When the far mers are prosperous the rest of us can hope to share in the prosperity. In the death of Thos. F. Riley, of Greenwood, not only that city and county but the whole state has sus tained a distinct loss. H'e was one of those progressive, broad-minded -men whom any locality might esteem fortunate to number as one of its citizens. If the bad weather continues the acreage in cotton will be reduced without an association or resoltcions to that effect. If our rival cities inl the new ctr cuit cannot all get the court house they thould not def eat the bill *o get the new circuit. Let the new cir - cuit come and the.; ight over the location. It cann:>t be built at .n'cre tha' e.ix places in the~ district. GENERAL NEWS - NOTES. Items of More of Less Interest Con - densed Outside the State.
