E. H. AULL, EDITOR. Entered at the Postoffice at New berry, S. C., as 2nd class matter. Friday, March 30, 1906. WAY? The Herald and News does not know much about the whiskey busi ness or the business of the dispensary. In fact it might be said that we know nothing about it. But being a citi zen of the state and therefore slight ly interested in the whiskey business done by the state we presume to make inquiry. We have not the figures or the pa pers before us but we have a faint recollection that the investigation committee appointed by the legisla ture to look into the management ot the dispensary in addition to sundry other things discovered that the state had more whiskey on hand than the law permitted. In fact we believe the law says the stock must be kept down to some $400,000 and they found that there was somewhere about a million dollars' worth of liquor on hand and they ordered the commissioners to withhold payment or something to that effect and the present board passed resolutions to cooperate with the investigation committee. The in vestigation committee also furnished the board with a list of whiskey deal ers who were under suspicion by them and from whom no whiskey was to be bought. The new board, however, with this big stock of goods on hand, according to the reports purchased "12,000 barrels of whiskey and brandy, 12 cars of beer, 4,425 cases of case goods. It would take two trains of 25 cars each to handle the bulk of the entire purehale.' Now if the dispensary is overstocked and the payment of what is already bought is to be withheld why purchase more whiskey. Why not sell what is on hand before purchasing so much more goods. Why not pay for what has been bought before purchasing more goods. That seems to us to be a pertinent question. If it is not we do not insist on it. . We do not understand liow the commission can withold payment for the goods ordered by those who were authorized to make the order. The appropriat.ion for rural deliv ery, provided in the bill now before congress, is $28,000,000. This is an increase of $3,000,000 over last year and is evidence that the proposal to hamper this branch of the depart ment has failed. As the State has all along maintained, the govern ment can do no greater benefit to the people of the whole country than in the generous extenision of the rural mail delivery service. It is a great educator. The direct returns will in a few years equal the expenditures.! <but -the indirect returns are inealcul able. The total amount to be appro priated for the postoffice department is $191.000,000. an increase of $10, 000,000 over the previous year. That isr an enormous sum, but unlike the other great app'opriations, most of it is returned to the treasury.-The 'State. We copy the above to give it our heArty endorsement. "The govern ment can do no gre,ater benefit to the people of the whole country than in the generous extension of the rural mail delivery service,'' bears repeat-: ing. And yet we fear sometimes that the people of the rural districts do not appreciate this service as they should- On some of the routes even in Newberry county, you will find people who do not take either one of their county papers. It would pay them to subscribe for both rather than lose the service of the mail even if the papers were not worth the money charged. There is not one family on any route who would not Mather pay three dollars a year than have the service discontinued. Let all our, people be aroused to the im .portance of this matter and send in subscriptions at once. A Grand Old Gentleman. Dr. Geo. R. Harding, father of Mrs. A. L. Thayer, who has been vis iting the latter in this city for some time, has returned to his home in Newberry, S. C. Dr. Harding is a very interesting old gentleman, who has lived a long anid eventful life. HIe is a veteran dentist. and besides a minster in t awMet hodi F.piscopal church, min Halils oft his feilow man. lHe i< past his thlree score and ten mile stones of life, but in spite (f his years and a severe injury received a few months ago on a railroad, he gets about well, though with the aid of a cr+tch which he informed a memi ber of the independet staff l-t week . he intended to throw away in a rew days. He had ju-st returned fnrn a trip to 4uba. from which it is evident that ieither age nor bodily intiirmitv has dulled his love of travel. le is one of the oldest living Knights of Pythias, having joined the order in 1867, when it was an in fant of three years, was one of the first district deputy grand chancellors of the first Grand Lodge. He is an Odd Fellow. having joined that order half a century ago, and has also for many years been a member of the Red Men, the Druids and the Knights of Honor. His fraternal record is one hard to beat. In his trayels lie has covered both continents, and has not quit travel ing Yet. le has covered Europe ex tensively, elimbing Alpine peaks and looking down into the smoking era ter of Vesuvius, the destroyer of cit ies. He has visited the Holy Land, and in Palestine literally "trod the paths the saints have trod," and liv ed several years in South America. Finally lie came to St. Petersburg, and it is the hope of his friends here that the venerable "globe trot ter" will live to pay this city many visits in the future.-St. Petersburg (Florida) Independent. B. C.. Whitney's "Isle of Spice." In richness of costume, stage groupings and stage settings, beauty and grace of chorus and the mechani cal effects, the "Isle of Spice," which will be presented at the Opera House, Saturday, March 31st., will far excel any similar production ever offered at this theatre. Money has been lavishly expended in the matter of costumes for this musical extrav aganza, and the piece is staged in splendid style. The light effects are original and startling. The female members of the company have been selected with much care, and they are not only pretty of face and figure, but rich in voice. The leading ladies of the company are: Miss Leslie Leigh and Miss Mat tie Martz. Miss Leigh is a cute Miss with a beautiful soprano voice, which she -has many opportunities for us ing during the performance. Miss Martz is both pretty and graceful, and is sure to be a favorite with the audience from her first appearance. Her voice is exceedingly clear and sweet, and when she sings, every indi vidual in the audienee will sit up and take notice. Sam Mylie is the leading funi mak er with the "IJsle of Spice,'' and is a huge success in his role of King Bompopka, which gives him many opportunities to convulse his audi ence with laughter. His fondness for draw poker, with the assistance of the other two comedians, Herbert Cawthorn and Harry Watson, causes much trouble to himself and great fun to the audience. Others in the cast are George Whyte, Harry Griffith and Robert Kane, and Susie Forrester and May Sweeney. B. C.
