~.H. AULL, EDITOR. Entered at the Postoffice at New berry, S. C., as second class matter. In reply to the Laurens Advertiser, we do not believe Gov. Heyward would permit his name to be used as a candid.te for governor for a third term. The Herald and News has a record for standing up to Newberry men when t'he question is a choice of men. In this case it is not a ques tion of preferring some other man to Heyward because we know Gov. Hey ward to be a most excellent gentle man and we know that he has made a good record as governor, but there are others -in South Carolina who could fill the executive chair and we do not think Gov. Heyward cares to succeed himself for a third term. The Herald and Newg has not yet !s poused the cause of any of the candi dates. We want to hear and know where they stand on certain ques tions and then it is true enough. The editor of The Herald and News was in the city of Sumter for a few hours one evening this week. It had been some time since we had stopped there and we were surprised to note the -growth of the city in the last few years. There are some stores there that would do credit to any city in South Carolina and we know of none that surpasses them. The county needs a new court house and we ob serve thtat steps are being taken to build one. It is said that one of the causes of the rapid and substantial growth of this city is that the business men pull together for the material growth of the community and a great many small industries have been erected there which' employ skilled labor and thev are all successful. We would much rather see a number of small industries started here that would re quire expert help than to see the erec:ion of another cotton mill though both would help us. FARMERS' ALLIANCE. Mr. J.

To the Ed:tor of The State: The decismmr of the supreme comTt dismissing the appeal from Judge Gar.- '--r, directing th. master of * Richl.e.d i . advertise f.: r itors and stockholders of th.e Farm ers' Alliance exchange, appears to be based upon a question of fact raised by my testimony that the:e :tre no cicditors of the exchange. .md the statement of Messrs. M. L. Donald con and J. C. Coit's attorney, who dedined to submit proof of the alleg ed claims while Mr. Donaldson was present at trhe reference. I desire, for the benefit of the s-tock holders, who are numerous through out the state, to refer to the follow * ing extracts of the report of the com mittee on litigation to the county trustees. - "The directors cannot recognize the claims of Donaldson and Coit as valid, and no otthers have been pre sented. . . . The directors have no desire to dishonor the exchange by *an effort to avoid payment of any just claim. . . On the a6th of May testi monv was taken by Mr. John S. Ver ner, master of Richland county.... Mr. 11. L. Donaldson was present. but much to our regret and disap pointment he did not undertake to prove his claim. . .

We care not where Tor when alleged claimants file their claims, the courts are open to them, -but in justice to ourselves, in justice to you, and in protection of the bene nciaries you represent, we protest against the stockholders niing their claims wit'h the master.'' A full meeting of the county trus tees, to whoim this report was madec. -adopted the folowing resolution unanimously: *"Resolved, third.
