E[ - AlDLL, EDITOR. .Entered at the Postoffice at New berry, S. C., as second class matter. FRIDAY, JUNE 2, 1905. Mr. J. K. Blackman, formerly edi tor of the Greenville Ncws, died in New York on May 29. Arms, who made affidavit that he -go: a confession from a negro by scaring him in order to convict him of murder that he might scure the reward of $300 should be made to ex change places with the itgro in the penitentiary. What is the Difference. North Carolina is becoming verv. every good. They have succeeded in passing a law to prohibit the opera tion of "bucket shops." It has al ways been a mystery to us why they should stop a fellow from backing his judgment of five pasteboards t;.at he might hold in his hand against a' similar number held by the other fellow, and yet allow the big gamb lers to deal in cotton, wheat. corn, stocks, -etc. If you.are going to stop one form of gambling, stop the whole business. North Carolina is carrying her piousness in the right direction. Gaffney Ledger. There is opposition to the "bucket shops" as it is termed in this state but we believe the bucket shops are open in some of the towns and cities. The thing to do is to pass a law. North Carol:ma has gone into the prohibitive business. But the shops are open in New York and a fellow can gamble all he pleases in the cotton and wheaf markets and it is considered the right thing :o do if he wins, but if he plays a game of cards for a five cent ante. the same people who gamble in cot holy horror. It is all a game of ton futures hold up their hands in chance. One puts up his money on the rise or fall in the markets and the other on how the cards will run. Wthere is the difference? We-do not -say either one is right. On the con trary both are wrong. But we can see no reason in condemning card playing so vehemently and then play the stock markets. We wish that every man in Gaffney could lay asIde his personal interest when it comes to a matter of general interest to the community. Make concessions.. There are some things that are 'mightier than a dollar, at though we confess that there are some men who cannot . see them. Don't be greedy and block an enter prise simply because you cannot have~ your way about it.-.-Gaffney Ledger. That is the doctrine we have preached in The Herald and News for the past twenty years and it is good doctrine but mighty ~hard to have it put in practice. Human na ture is so selfish th'at it is very diffi cult to get people to see any good in anything that is not directly of benefit to themselves and it is also difficult for them to be convinced they are not on the right side when t'hey view the question from their o.wn side of the shield. What we would like to see is every one in Newberry rising above that 'business selfishncss and working to gether as one man for the upbuilding of Newberry and every one having a good word for the town and the peo ple who compose it, individually and collectively, if one man starts an enterprise let every other man speak a good word for it. Pass a Law. The Monroe Enquirer says it re quired no act of uhe legislature to keep it from publishing the income tax returns; that it "considered that it would be in just as good taste and as much a matter of public interest to publish the amount of property listed by certain citizens as to pub lish the returns made by them as to their incomes. However," it conclud es. "it looks like a mighty thin law that prohibitory law against publish ist facts from the tax hooks- and we have no ir!ea it would stand if testedI. The tax books are public property and a newspaper has a right to pushanything that may be IHow Much C If every man had tc learning power there % in the world. It is the that makes men wealt may be limited but yc savings if placed m ti per cent. compound i safe. THE COMMI of Newk JNO. M. KINA 0. B. MAYER,' Z. F. WRIGHT found on them." But as Gen. Leac used to exclaim, when he reached climax in his speeches. -Great Go fellow-citizens! don't von unde stand?" The thing to understan nojv is that if anything is being dor th'at you don't agree ought to be don the remedy is to pass a law. If tl hogs persist in sleeping under tf, churches in Pitt county--pass a laA If the boy ride bicycles on ti streets of Roper-pass a law. If ti bears won't behave themselves in Bi Wildcat Pocosin--pass a law. there is anything worse needed i North Carolina tan public educatic and foreign immigra+ion. it is moi prohibitory laws. To repeat Dr. Mi lver's story of the command given t the mother to the house girl conceri ing the cbildren: "Sallie. go out the yard. see what John and Ma, are doing, and tell them to stop it If any citizen of North Carolina now doing anything that is not pr< hibited by law, a law to co-:er his ca! ought to be passed and he ought i be made to stop iT.-Charlotte Obse ver. Certainly. Pass a law. That is t. thing to do. Not only in North Ca lina but in South Carolina and in t1 town of Newberry. If a citizen is tr: ing to do something for himself ar -s attending to his own business ar trying to be progressive stop him pass a law. Don't encourage him. bi top him-pass a law if you can't d it any other way. If anything is being done that sorr one thinks ougdbt not to be done pa. a law -and stop him. The town or tl state might grow. Seriously we have too much tliotu shalt not." WVhy not encoural people to do those things which al good and for the uplifting of rhuma: ity and the advancement'of the sta materially and then there :.vill be r ,eed of so many prohibitives.
