Entered at the Postoffice at New
berry, S. C., as second class matter.
FRIDAY, APRIL 14, 1905.
Every now and then another sta:e.s
man is mentioned for governor.
There will be no lack in numbers.
The Laurens Advcrtiser says the
best thing to do is to elect Gov. Hey
wood for another term. He has made
an excellent chief magis:rate but
there are others and it is bad to set
a precedent for a third term.
Mr. Ansel is now in favor of local
option. Two years ago he was a dis
pensary man.
In Greenwood county a criminal
case was held over a man and woman
on condition that the woman leave
the county and the man come to
Greenwood only ii biusiness and
leave promptly when through \ih
his business.
\\e do not eactly --.1uerstand why
it should be more of a crime for the
man to loaf around the city of Greew
wood than to roam at large through
the county. And why it is right tro
put the woman on some other county.
It is stated that if thi agreement is
violated the case will be prosecuted
vigorously.
This is the season of the year to
do some good road working. New
berry needs i: as much as any coun
ty in the state. If the chain gang
could be put on some permanent road
improvement and the supervisor
could get a few more convicts from
the penitentiary ins:ead of running
the gang over the county fixing
bridges we could soon have a prac
tical and tangible demonstranon or
what is meant by a good road. \\e
.have been in several counties recently
and they are all forging ahead of us
in this important matter of road- im
provement.
The beautiful little town of Lees
ville has built several miles of clay
and sand road simply by putting the
clav on the sand and it makes an ex
cellent road at a. very small cost. Tn
Greenwood county the chain gang is
leveling off the rough places and
running the crusher over t.he clods.
A drive of eighteen miles in a bug
gy in Anderson county the other day
was a pleasure on account of the fine
condi:ion of the public road. Spar
tanburg is building macadam roads
and is going at it in a business like
way. It is an investment that wvill
pay any county that will make it.
But it must be done in a business like
manner or you can soon spend a lot
of money with no results.
The rural delivery service has
grown more rapidly and clone more,
to help the people than anything that
has been done in a long time. There
is talk now of extending the service
to our foreign possessions. Hawaii,
Porto Rico and the Phillippines.
More than 5,ooo new routes were put
in operatio:a in this country for the
ten months ending April I. It will
not be long before every section of
the country will have the mail at the
doors of the people wvho live in the
rural districts. The policy of the gov
ernment is to extend the 'service and
it is right. Everything that is of
benefit to the comfort of t.he people
who live in the country should be
done.
Sober Politicians,.
Governor H-anley, of Inidiania, is a
practical reformer . In speaking re
cently concerning appointments to
office under his ad,ministration, he
says:
--I have noticed that railroads and
other large business enterprises of
recent years have ruled against men
who drink. This is a good policy,
I think, and so long as I am governor
of the state the same policy shall be
pursue d."~
Fine! Let us have sober politicians.
If railroad men who handle precious
human argosies and sailors who steer
the warships need to be sober, cer
tainly the men who marage and steer
the ships of state should be of like
character.
One of the accompanying but un
n,eesar sins of politics is that of
1i(our drinking. NVatch tie hotel

In this age of strenuous effort so
briety is a vital virtue. The business

And now if we can reform the poli
ticians the millelinim may nolt be so

Soherness is needed not only in
railroad eiployes and politicians and
office holders but in every walk of
life. The man who is not entirely
s,,ber at all times himself, if he is
called upon to emlploy some One to
take chirge of important and respon
sible matters will always try to se
lect a sober man for the work. Un

fil in these matters as we should be.
Presidents in Retirement.
Only ten men who have held the
office of president reached or sur
passed Mr. Cleveland's present age
of 68; only six exceeded it by so much
as ten years. and none exceeded it
by quite twenty years. Only ten
presidents have survived their retire
ment from office longer than Mr.
Cleveland. and four of these lived to
a great age.
Washington. who survived his re
tremelnt less than three years,
thlught himself an old man when he
was firs: made president at the age
0f 57. John Adams survived his re
-.rement a quarter of a century, and
his son, John Quincy, who outlived
his retirement nearly twenty years,
was the only president who had near
Iv as conspicuous a public career af
ter occupying the presidency as be
fI ore.
Monroe's six years after his retire
ment from office were passed in corn
parative obscurity and his dying
hours were embittered by scandalous
eusations in connection with Jack
son's seizure of Spanish forts in
Florida during the first Seminole
war.
Polk outlived his retirement less
than a year and there is every rea
son to suppose that had Arthur com
passed his ambition of an election to
the presidency in 1884 he would have
dlied early in his term, for he out
lved his re: irement less than twvo
ears.
Tyler, who outlived his retirement
twenty years. emerged from obscurity
n~ar the end of his life to preside over
the va in neace convention on the eve
f tihe civil war. He afterwards serv
ed in the congress of the Confederate
states.
Bunchanan lived more than seven
:ears after his retirement and took
the opportunity to write what was in
effect a defence of his administration.
Jefferson and Jackson were the on
ly presidents who exerciser a really
powerful influence over party coun
cils after their permanent retirement
from public office, though Van Buren
was an active politician as long as he
had hope of re-nomination at the
hands of-any party.
