E. B. AULLj. EDITOR. Entered at the Postoffice at New erry, S. C., as 2nd class matter. Friday, March 23, 1906. THE NEW COURT HOUSE. The commission to have in charge the building of the new court house ,will hold a meeting again . oi the fourth of April to receive options of sites for the location, and to attend to any other matters which may come before them. The more we look nrouud and con sider the available sites, the more strongly are we convinced- that the square mentioned some time ago-the square next to the Methodist church on which was the old ftemale academy now the residence of Mr. Joseph Mann-is the place to locate the new court house. We understand it can be secured at a reasonable flgure 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 foidations and S o forth would be a. miniimum. -. ( Then the grounds could be made V beautiful. If any one can suggest i a more suitable place that can be ob tained we would be glad to hear it. ' The lerald and News is not pre tending or presuming to dictate to the commission but simply suggest ing and our only interest. is that which desires the court house located at such place that will be convenient and at the same time have the most pleasant surroundings. THE PROPOSED CHANGE OF SCHEDULE. It is understood that there will be sone opposition onl the upper part of the line to the proposed change of schedule on the Southern railway. i Just how much this opposition < amounts to we are not informed at present. Certainly the city of Oreen- I ville should- be with us in this change < and from Ninety Six to Columbia i should heartily endorse it, and- we I hope if they do that. they will 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 woild give people an opportunity from the upper part . of the county as well its from tile 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 lunbia and spend four or live hours and return home the same day. With this proposed c(ihage, pewtople frot Pomaria and Prosperity who have butsiness at thle cont y seat couldh comei to Newberry ont the morning train and have two hours in the ejity ~.id return to their homes biefore din ner. We umderstand. that this schedule f does not suit Greeniwood. We regrett this because we wvould lbe delighted to co-operate with the citizensS Qf Green wooid in anything that t hey might de sire, but it is very diimenit to get anjyt schedlule that will he pleasing and(l accEeptable to everybiody, and( tI Ie only thing that the rail road commuissioners -and the authorities can do is to adopt some1( scheOdle that will beC acceptableC to the greatest number antd we aret satisfied that the change which has a heeun agreed upon will be acceptable to thme greatest number ot' people be tween GIrenville and Colmbia inchi ding also the people of Greenville and the people of Columbia, and we trust that the commissioners and the rail way omiias will ntot be influenced by this protest to change the change of schedule which has been p)ractically agreed upon and that we will have the change certainly by th'ei first (of April. We understand that t his change of schedule will lie cut irely acceptable to Anderson and that the Blue lIidlge '., railway witt ont additional trains ~ ~to accommodate people along its line 'if necessary, in ordler to conform t.o the proposed change. The main com plit that has come from Anderson islthe fact that the trains have not1 been oper tto the schedule time as advertised. With tiproedchange there wvill be nto dimeicty along this line and the railroad people will be ~" ble to live uip to their advertised cshiedule. "Kt would be a pitfi, no0w that Mrs 1i4O has declared himself, if the cat jmp the other way.-Ander nt.t thought I B,t has Mri h :Iimself for or pgainst:I ~ ~' oesn't hegwant to dto the state The Chamber, of Commeiee of the city of Columbia has pent an invita tion to the Confederate veteranA te meet in Columbia in May. No b6tter place or more appropriate time could be selected for the reunion of the vterans of this state. The grip has had the editor in its hold for the past week or ten days but lie will be in Prosperity in a few days 11aid take up the Prosperity edition ind get out one of the best any town ias evet- had because Prosperity is me of the best towns in the state. How about widening the street ibout ten or fifteen feet along the burnt district and extending the Atreet by the opera house and pur 3hasing the lot between such street ind the jail street. That could be lone by council at small expense and eally would be better than to buy he entire lot. Now is the time to act. Our Prosperity correspondein is ,ntirely mistaken. We were not noeking but simply stating. a fact S 'twas told to us. And further to m1ply the suggestion that those who ielieve in prohibition prohibit such ider as made the "driinks " mention d because if there could be any .com iarison as to drunks ,these are the vorst kind we have ever heard of. In several of the counties the can lidates for county officers are al endy announcing. Up to this time verything has been very quiet in his county and not even the suggeq ion of a candidate for any office has ieeni made. Of course it is uider tood that all the incumbents will de ire to hold what. they have and may >e will have no opposition. That vould he delightful, to them. The Columbia Record misunder tands. The Herald and News does iot hold because one is a member of :ongress or in the senate that. he6. hould lose his interest in state af 'airs but in a matter which purely oneerns the state and is an issue in i state nmpaign a senator should let lie candidates for state offices dis 1uss it and not. enter the discussion if a state issAte in a race for United ;tates senator. If Hon. B. A. Morgan, of Green ,illc, should enter the race for gov 41or. anld we notice that he is hesita ing andl that is a pretty sure sign, it volild complic ate inatters somewhat. dr. Morgan is very popular in some f (lie very strong voting counties in he up-ountry and by his manly and f raightforward and conservative ollse in the legislature made many riends throughout the state. He anl fr. Anisel should get together and (it both (enter the race from the same ounty. *'lie prlohibit ion field agent who hams een writing of the dispensary and lie workings of' prohibit ion in this tate, and whose article is prioduiced 1 anlothier 'olumin, states that after c'areful inivestigation lhe finds that lie blind tigers in Charleston Ar'e as unmerous now as they wvere in 1902. Ye wld1l not call attention to this ut for the fact that some people have eeni firec to criticise Governor Mc w'~eeneoy for his failure to enforce lie dispensary law in Charleston and t thie same time to commend his sue essor11 for1 the rigid enforcenemnt of lhe law in thiat city. "Interference" In Home Aftirs. 'olumbia Record. Thle Newberry Herald and News ays: "cenator' Tillman should stay out >f (lie camipaign this year and attend 0 thie business of tIle senate in Wash ngton. There will be meni in the ampaoignl for' state offices am~ply abile .0 preCsent the issuies before the lpeo. >he of this state. ''If hie should have .opposition, w'hich is not p)robable, then lie and his >pp)onent. might enter' the campaigii mnd discuss national questions, but ie should let state matters alone. "lie will not he able to change the ninds of the people on the dispecsary juestion, for they have had the ques. ion aired in almost evei'y possible ~ormn, but lie 'may be able to stir up ~actionalism again, which wye ire sure ae does not desire." We fully agree with~ bur coiitem orary in saying that ,Senator. Till nan cannot change whatever s'ensti nent has been formed in the mninds of he people .as to the dispensary. spoehes by. him would undoubtedly 'nve thehupftidence, bunt not to 'the ox. oetof miaterially he nggteot, ome. At the same time, and withou any consideration .f Senator Til anybody else in the matter, not agree with the more or less moll sentiment frequenitly ez'P in newspapers that -because a .ci. is elected senator qr congressinO., is thereby practically debarred ' participation in the discussion 6 fairs which concern the peopli f state. If elevation to membershi":t'k. the national legislature is to be l ed .upon in that light then a, mae eliminated as a citizen, or rathed a deprived of performing one o.pe most impQrtant duties of eitivenship, which is an active, and not a paiVe, participation in all affairs affetilg the welfare of the state. A*man does n6t give up his home or his proieiy when he becomes a senator or eah gressman, and where his hom is f there his interests are. Senator TilI man and other congressmen, we.pre sume, intend to continue to live in South Carolina after their ternis eX I pire, and it. would be a very strkn9) E condition, actually an absurd one, if their national service imust be consid. cred as rinarking an hiatus in citizenship; that during time 'they should be deaf and dumb as to all thea social, political and material questions which might arise in the state. The idea of "interference'' on part of our representatives in Washington with, home affairs, ridiculous as it is was advanced only for political. ren sons.- Senator Tillman began it hini -self when General Hampton took part in the factional politics of the state. i was alleged that he, "interfered'' No not as to issues, but as to men, but if 50 he did it was his right as a citizen to is express his views. All of his fellow pa citizens in South Carolina were doing Al: the sanie thing,, and if he believed the election of any man to offlee would be detrimental to the state it was his bounden duty to say so and het ac, cordingly. In the same why if Sen ator Tillman believes it. to be the best N( interests of the state to perpetuate the state dispensary system it is his right and his duty to say so and%,Irk to that end- and lie ought. to be,per mitted to do so without being .sub; ject to adverse criticism. He is4tif- hei a eit izen, 1and brief months in the im senlate cliafiber ought not. to and do not lessen his interest in the welfare of tle state. The sute applies to all other congressmeiin. They ought to be condemned if they cease to be con- dif cerneld about the state or refuse to. participate in local affairs. There is.' where eriticism justly lies and not be eiuse of tire contrary course. NOTICE.
