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

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.

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
