THE NEW COURT HOUSE.
The commission to have in charg
the building of the new court house
will hold a meeting again. on th(
fourth of April to receive options o)
sites for the location, and to attenc
to any other matters which may come
before them.
The more we look around and con
sider the available sites, the mor(
strongly are we convinced. that the
square mentioned some time ago-th(
square next to the Methodist churcE
on which was the old female academy
now the residence of Mr. Josepl
Mann-is the place to locate the new
court house. We understand it ear
be secured at a reasonable figure and
besides being convenient to the busi
ness section it would give a street on
all four sides and in addition it is so
situated that the cost of construction
in getting the fondations and sc
forth would be a mimimum. -
Then the grounds could be made
beautiful. If any one can suggest
a more suitable place that can be ob
tained we would be glad to hear it.
The Herald and News is not pre
tending or presuming to dictate tc
the commission but simply suggest
ing and our only interest is that
which desires the conrt hoise located
at such place that will be convenient
and at the same time have the most
pleasant surroundings.
THE PROPOSED CHANGE 01
SCHEDULE.
It is understood that there will be
some opposition -on the upper part ol
the line to the proposed change o
schedule on the Southern railway
Just how much this oppositior
amounts to we are not informed al
present. Certainly the city of Green
-vile should- be with us in this change
and from Ninety Six to Columbia
should heartily; endorse it and w
hope if they do that they wvill signify~
that endorsement by writing to the
railroad commissioners their approv
al. It is certainly such a schedule as
will be of great advantage to New
berry, because it would give people
an opportunity from the upper parl
of the county as well as from the
lower section to come to Newberry
and spend several hours and return
home the same day. It would also
give us an opportunity to go to Co
lumbia and spend four or five hours
and return home the same day.
With this proposed change, people
from Pomaria and Prosperity who
have business at the county seat could
come to Newberry on the morning
train and have two hours in the eity
ad rettrn to their homes before (din
ner.
We understand,.that this schedule
does not suit .Greenwood. We regret
this because we would be delighted to
co-operate with the citizens of Green
wood in anything that they might de
sire, but it is very difficult to get any
schedule that will be pleasing and
acceptable to everybody, and the ouly
thing that the railroad commissioners
-and the authorities can do is to adopt
some schedule that will be acceptable
to the greatest number and we are
satisfied that the change which has
been agreed upon will be acceptable
to the greatest number of people be
tween Grenville and Columbia inclu
ding also the people of Greenville and
the people of Columbia, and we trusi
that the commissioners and the rail
way officials will not be influenced by
this protest to change the change ol
schedule which has been practicall2
agreed upon and that we will have th
ehange certainly by th'e fir-st of April
We understand that this change oi
schedule will be entirely acceptable t<
Anderson and that the Blue Ridg4
railway will put on additional train
to accommodate people along its hin4
if necessary, in order to conform t
the proposed change. The main com
plaint that has come from Andersot
is the tact that the trains have no
been operated on the schedule time as
advertised. With this proposed chang
there will be no difficulty along thi
line and the railroad people will b<
able to live up to their advertiset
schedule.

Ansel has declared himself, if the cal

The Chamber of Commerce of the
city of Columbia has sent an invita
tion to the Confederate veterans to
meet in Columbia in May. No better
place or more appropriate time could
be selected for the reunion of the
veterans of this state.
The grip has had the editor in its
hold for the past week or ten days but
he will be in Prosperity in a few days
and take up the Prosperity edition
an get out one of the best any town
has ever had because Prosperity is'
of the best towns in the state.
How about widening the strw
about ten or fifteen feet along the
burnt district and extending the
street by the opera house and pur
chasing the lot between such street
and the jail street. That could be
done by council at small expense and
really would be better than to buy
the entire lot. Now is the time to act.
Our Prosperity correspondent is
entirely mistaken. We were not
knocking but simply stating a fact
as 'twas told to us. And further to
imply the suggestion that those who
believe in prohibition prohibit such
cider as made the "drunks" mention
ed because if there could be any .com
parison as to drunks these are the
worst kind we have ever heard of.
In several of the counties the can
didates for county officers are al
ready announcing. Up to this time
everything has been very quiet in
this county and not even the sugges
tion of a candidate for any office has
been made. Of course it is under
stood that all the incumbents will de
sire to hold what they have and may
be will have no opposition. That
would be delightful, to them.
The Columbia Record misunder-'
stands. The Herald and News does
not hold because one is a member of
congress or in the senate that he
should lose his interest in state af
fairs but in a matter which purely
concerns the state and is an issue in
a state campaign a senator should let
the candidates for sta.te offices dis
cuss it and not enter the discussion
Iof a state issu.e in a race for United
States senator.
If Hon. B. A. Morgan, of Green
ville, should enter the race for gov
ernor. and we notice tha.t he is hesita
ting and that is a pretty sure sign, it
Iwould complie.ate inatters somewhat.
Mr. Morgan is very popular in some
of' the very strong voting counties in
the up-country and by his manly and
straightforward and conservative
course in the legislature made many
friends throughout the state. He and:
Mr. Ansel should get together and
not both enter the race from the same
county.
The prohibition field agent who has
been writing of the dispensary and
the workings of prohibition in this
state, and whose article is produced!
in another column, states that after
a car eful investigation he finds that
the blid tigers in Charleston are as
numer ous now as they were in 1902.
We w ould not call attention to tis
but for the fact that some people have
been free to criticise Goveriior Mc
Sweeney for his failure to enforce
the dispensary law in Charleston and
at the same time to commend his sue
eess.or for the rigid enforcement of;
the la in that city.
"Interference'' In Home Affiirs.
Columbia Record.
The Newberry Herald and News
says:
"Senator Tillman should stay out
of the campaign this year and attend
to the business of the senate in Wash
ington. There will be men in the
campaig~n for state offices amply able
to priesent the issues before the p)eo
ple of this state.
"t if e should have opposition,
which is iiot probable, then he and his
opponent. might enter the campaign
and discuss national questions. hut
he should let state matters alone.
"He will not be able to change the
minds of the people on the dispensary
question, for they have had the ques
tion aired in almost every possible
form, but he may be able to stir up
faictionalism again, which we are sure
lie does not desire.''
We fully agree with our contem
porary in saying that Senator Till
man cannot change whatever senti
ment has b)een formed in the minds of
the people as to the dispensary.
Speeches by him would undoubtedly
have their influence, but not to the ex
tent of materially changing the out
come.
At the same time, and without any1
I
Consideration of Senator Tillman or
anybody else in the matter. we can
not agree with the more or less com
mon sentiment frequently expressed
in newspapers that because a citizen
is elected senator or congressman he
is thereby practically debarred from
participation in the discussion of af
fairs which concern the people of the
state. If elevation to membership in
the national legislature is to he look
ed upon in that. light then a man is
eliminated as a citizen, or rather is
deprived of performing one of the
most important duties of citize-nship,
which is an a-tive, and not a passive,
participation in all affairs affecting
the welfare of the state. A'man does
not. give up his home or his property
when he becomes a senator or con
gressman, and where his home is
there his interests are. Senator Till
man and other congressmen, we pre
sume, intend to continue to live in
South Carolina after their terms ex
pire. and it would be a very strange
condition, actually an absurd one, if
their national service must be consid
ered as marking an hiatus in their
citizenship; that during time they
should be deaf and dumb as to all the
social, political and material questions
which might arise in the state.
The idea of "interference" on part
of our representatives in Washington i
with home affairs, ridiculous as it is,
was advanced only for political rea
nons.- Senator Tillman began it him
self when General Hampton took part
in the factional polities of the state.
It was alleged that he. "interfered"
not as to issues, but as to men, but if
he did it was his right as a citizen to
express his views. All of his fellow
eitizens in South Carolina were doing
the same thing, and if he believed the
election of any man to office would
be detrimental to the state it was his
bounden duty to say so and 'act ac
cordingly. In the same wray if Sen
ator Tillman believes it to be the best I
interests of the state to perpetuate
the state dispensary system it is his
right and his duty to say so and work
to that end,- and he ought to be -per
mitted to do so without being sub
ject to adverse criticism. He is still
a citizen, and brief months in the
senate chamber ought not to and do
not lessen his interest in the welfare
of the state. The same applies to all
other conlgressmfenI. They ought to be
condemned if they cease to be con
eerned about the state or refuse to
participate in local affairs. There isl
where criticism justly lies anid not be
eause of tire contrary course.
