E.H. AULL. .1DITOR. Entered at the Postoffice at New berry, S. C., as second class matter. TUESDAY, MARCH 28, 1905. The Graded School Matter. The Herald and News does not propose to have anything to say in regard to the graded school matter further than to advise that all con cerned lay aside any personal feel ings and do that which is best for the school. Now that the county board of education says it will follow the opinion of the attorney general and the assistant attorney general says it is clearly the duty of the county board to order the election- we pre sume the election .will be ordered. The opinion in writing is promised by Wednesday. It would have saved. all this trouble if the new law had made it specific for some one to or der the election. but as it did not and if the attorney general advies. as we presume he will, that it is the duty of the county board to order the elec tion, the matter should close with that and all good citizens go to work to elect a good board and then stand together with the board for the pro motion of the best interests of the school. Life is too short for us to divide on this matter and there are too many important duties to be met to split hairs on whose duty it is to order the election. We believe the members of the present board have in mind only the best interests of the school and that is what we all should have. New4berry is never bashful in fur nishing candidates for state officeb, and it has been a long time since she had a goverjor. We believe the near est she ever came to it was when we had a lieutenant governor. Wi:h three. prospective candidates for gov ernor and one or two for attorney general, secretary of state and state treasurer, we ought to get something from the pie counter. Maybe our time has come or is coming. The Herald and News has always been in favor of spending some mon ey for rhe building of roads and of course in order to do it properly we should have improved machinery. We did not advise the purchase of the machinery which we have be cause at that time and even now we have not the money to operate it. If we had the purchase ,.ould have been alright. And yet under the law there seems to have been no authority of law for its purchase. And the com pany which sold it should have known the law. At the same time we believe the county should pay the debt and we believe if the company should request that speci:l provision be made that it would be done and we hope the time is not far distant when the county will see the impor tance and necessity .of providing the means for using it on the roads for there is no pulblic work of so much importance as the improvement of our highwvays. . e have said it so many times that we beg pardon for repeateing but there is no investment that we could make that would bring so good .returns as money put. in road building. It is an investment that will pay better returns than any in vestment the neople could make. The Herald and Nesw simply pub lished a local stating the probable ac tion of the board in the matter of the road machinery note. The Observer says the money should be paid. We think so too but if the law forbids the officers from paying it as Mr. Domi nick shows then they shouild not pay it but some arrangement should be made to pay. Pay Your Editor in Advance. An exchange speaks of a man wvho it is said always paid for his paper a year in advance. As a result he has never bieen sick in his life, never had corns on his toes nor toothache, his potatoes never rot, his babies nev or cry at night, his wife never scolds and he succeeded in serving three years on the school board without be ing cussed." If some of the subscribers of The Herald and News could only be brought to realize the truth and the force of the remarks quoted above it -1,d proew a great blessing to them STRONGER ____.AND STRONGER THE COMMERCIAL BANK, Capital $50,000 00 Surplus 27,000 00 JNO. M. KINARD, Pres. C Z. F. WRIGHT, Cashier. - and we feel sure th-- would try the experiment in the case of The Her ald and News and it would if tried we believe cure the editor of his dys pepsia. When so much can be ac coimplished with so little outlay we fell sure some Soo or I00'of our sub cribers will try it in the next ten days. The Columbia Record prints an in teresting interview with a prominent politician who has been watching the s;tuation and who gives some opin ions as to the next campaign for governor. The name of the gentle man is not given, bbt he says some things which are quite true. There are quite a number of gentlemen in the state who have an idea that they are made of gubernatorial timber and who are watching quite closely the political winds. Of course several of them will not get in the track of the wind and will not be blown into the race and if they should the storm will cast them aside before the real race begins. This gentleman says two of them are already out of the count. That may bc and no doudbt is and several more will be out before the wind up. The reason we refer to this inter view, however, is to agree with the statement that there will be issues in the next campaign and while. we be lieve the people are going to vote for men they will want .at the same time men who have convictions on certain qestons and who have the manhood to state those convicitions plainly and unequivocally. In other words there v ill be no place in the race for the fence rider or the "unanimous" can didate who agrees with everybody. The question of the equitable and jst and full assessment of all prop erty at its value will be one of the ti.ings to be talked about as this gen tnan says. It is a long way off yet and we beg pardon for referring to this matter so far in advance, but then the candidates are already de caring their intentions. It is stated that President Duncan and Superintendent Touchstone of the Union Cotton mills are much peased with the reduction in hours f-o 66 a week to 6o. A comparison1 of the output of one week under the eleven hour system and the first week under the ten hour system, instead of showing a reduction, actually showed an increase of ioo cuts in the one week. We have contended for a long time that it would be better for the mills themselves iu reduce the hours of labor and that if it was dne they would get as good results in the output and bt-tter results in the qtaliy. But eve" if they did not it was v.rong and almost cruel to work Iwomen and lile children eleven hours each day shut up in the mills. We are glad to note the satisfactory results~ in the car of the Union mill a~d we hope at the next session of the legislature to see the ten hour law ass withou: oppositionf. If they can i t run successfully and profitably on ten hours a day then they- ought to lose down. Week of Special Bargains.
