E. H. ACLL, 1-DIT,R. Entered at the Postoffice at New berry, S. C., as second class matter. TUESDAY, MAY 16, 1905. Who is its Candidate? The Newberrv Herald and New says: "In reply to the Laurens Advertiser we do not believe Gov. Heyward would permit his name to be used as a candidate for governor for a third term. The Herald and News has a record for standing up to Newberry men when the 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. Heyward to be a most excellent gen tleman and we know that he ha 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 News has not vet espoused the cause of any c ~ the can didates. We want to hear and knon where they stand on certain ques tions and then it is time enough." Of course no man or thing. not even, The Advertiser, can tell from the above what or where The New berry Herald and News is. It ap pears to be opposed to Heyward be cause "there are others who could fill the executive chair" and because i: thinks Heyward does not care to be a candidate. If Mr. Hevward would run again, would the Herald and News "with its record for standing up to Newber rv men "oppose him and "stand up to" -1. H. Evans. C. -. Blease or A. C. Jones? We should like to know which of the Newberry trio is the Herald and News' favorits son?-Lauerns Ad vertiser. It is just as well this early in the game to keep you guessing. Espec ially since all of our candidates have not proclaimed themselves such. Really, we would like to know why you are so much interested in the Newberry candidates and especially what The Herald and News is going to do. Base Ball is Not Gambling. * In a sermon at Newberry the oth' er day a minister said that we should deplore the enthusiastic interest in1 base bail because the sport encour ages the gambling fev'er. He was sincere, of course. in what he ex pressed. hut he seems to be ignorant. There are thousands of good people in this country who love the game. but wvho never think of making wag ers on the results. They love the sport because it is clean and exciting -thev care little for the gambling. No and then we will find in all com munities a certain elemen: which wvill bet on aything. They may or may not be demoralized by the evil, yet as -a geenral thing those of us who are familiar with the conditions know that the betting is at a minimum. Tt is different with 'horse racing because that is strictly a gamblin-.g sport. It is a sport for gamblers. w;hen base ball is not, and the follower of the turf, whose money is made and lost in the ring and the pool rooms, is *not facinated by contests on the die mond. They are too commonplace and tame. The turf plunger will ,not 'deal wvith the less attractive game. while the real baseball thoroughbred is not going to ruin his enjoyment by thinking of the loss which it may bring him. Out of the thousands of -women who watch the players, cob lege and professional, few risk mon ey. and if they wager a box of candy or a pair of gloves it is not calculated to lowver their standing in socwesy. even if that proceeding should be de plored. If we are to be deprived of this pastime what will we have left? Base ball can thrive and prosper without a single bet. It does not depend upon the gambling feature for its support. It can live without it. it does live without any gambling side lines, and it is not right to preach against that which is harmless and wvholesomie and which brings so much pleasure to men and women and children. Some of the ministers of Greenv'ille attend the games. and while they are more dignifie tan the "rooters" their en How Much Ci If every man had to earning power there w< in the world.

WRIGHT, joyment and delight is equally as great. So let us play.-Greenville News. The minister did not deplore the enthusiastic interest in base ball. but he did deplore the gambling spirit of the age which it seemed caused s5r many to put up wagers on the result. The minister in ques:inn is him Self a base ball enthusiast and has umpired a number of games on the local diamond.. and never misses see iig a good game when his duties will permit. The name of Col. Leroy Springs. of Lancaster, must be added to that list 1f gubernatorial possibilities which The Herald published several days ago. An admirer calls him the. "bus iest man in South Carolina." And h is a busy man and a good businesn man but there are others. Plenty of them right around ihere.--Spartanburg Herald. The list increases but the hoesing ut time has not come yet. It will come by and. by. Col. Springs is an ex-:'.2: gentleman and a good bus. iness man and a successful business man. Kind Words. Col. E. H. Aull. editer of the New berry Herald and News and president of the State Press association, is be ing prominently mentioned as a can didate -for secretary of state next ye:r, although he has as y,et made no announcement of his candidacy for :hat office. Colonel Aull is a capable ad accomplished gentleman and w'ould worthily nll the high office for which he has been suggestetd. IHe ha: :lone some public service and has distinguished himself by the faithful discharge of every duty imposed upon him. He is well known and populai thrughout the state and, if he en testhe race, will make a formidable cadidate.-Spartanburg Journal. Col. E. H. Aull. editor of the New berry' Herald and News. is being spoken of as a candidate for secretary o state. Col. Aull is president of the South Carolina Press association. and is deservedly popular with the pencil pushers. He is well and favorably known throughout the state and will be a hard man to beat should he en ter the race. We suggest to him. however, that it would be a good thing to retire some of Newberry's gubernatorial candidates. Several candidates for state offices 'from one county might prove embarrassinlg. Baberg Herald. N&-er mind about Col. Aull retir ing the Newberry gubernatorial can didates. The voters wvill take care of the retiring business. What we wvant to do is to elect the Colonel to the position of secretary of state. He would make a,good one, and we will gamble on it that there wiil be no necessity for an investigating corn mittee to jerk him tip on his iook keeping, either. Let all vote for Aull or secretary ot state.-Gaffney Ledger. DID NOT "JUMP GAME." Newberry Repudiates Assertion That She Left Field. In the State of yesterday was pub lished an account of the Clinton-New' berry game at Clinton. The Clinton correspondent who sent "the story" sai: "No further scores were made and tihe Newberry aggregation, see ing they hadl no chance of winning, raised a kick and jumped the game in the ghth.'' n Yuu Earf? depend upon his own )uld be no millionairesI arning power of money 1 y.

Setzler. chairman of Newberry's facultv athletic commit tee, was at Clinton for the game and he savs :'hat before the umpire called "play ball' he was t:id, with the ap proval of the managers and captains. that Newberrv would have to leave the -ld at 5.30 o'clock to catch the 6 o'clock train. unless the train wam held. During the game information came that the train would be held 25 minutes. and at 5-55 o'clock Prof. Setzler asked that the game be called. Just a: this time a Clinton batter hit I out of his turn and Newberry's cap tain asked the umpire to call the prop er batter out-this is the rule-and the crowd may have mistaken this for a kick. Newberry repudiates the assertion that she left the field and claims that she have never done so.

That morning she saw a great tel pile of rock and earth slide on t'he track at that place shortly after a m special train had passed, and, realiz- he ing that an engineer of an epstward K( train would be unable to see the slide h in time to stop the train and that p there was imminent danger of loss ho of life and property, she picked tip ho a torpedo and running up the track some distance, placed it on the rail at the mout'h of the ttunnel.
