-. H. AULL, EDITOR. Entered at the Postoffice at New Lerry. S. C., as and class matter. Friday April 5, 1907. The city council and the chamber of commerce should do about uow, if you will excuse the expression, and see if it is possible to have any of the streets along the burned district wid cned. We tried to get something like this lone when the fire burned out the Carolina Manufacturing comu panly but the opportunity was lost an( w%-ill be to the detriieiit -not only, of the town but of the property own ers of that section. What. is done nlow must he done qIlickly for re building will beghi at onve. It will take organized and concerted effort to do anything but it is important. Spare iht shiie irees.

Edi tor AuI snieerbi'ly suggests ini his pa per, 1he Newberry Ierald and News, that tle edifor of: The llevord he des iginted to speak at the next mceting of the Souli Carolina Press associa tion on Ilie making of' a country 'weekly, iliiniatilg... that The Record's vditor knows nothini.- thereof'. That is halderda.h. All 1lie Soith Carolina wevklies emi. hi1ih this oliev and we have full opportliunity for copllari s(onl. As we have thrO1 wii away oIr so't soap bucket, it is easy to say lhat Editor Alil is one of tihle sin ners we had in mind in criticisilg the shorteomin s of the weekly press. He -has seise and11l14 edieintion and eim make tle editorial pa.g or iis paper rank with the best in the state. We say this advisedly, beealse lie some filmes, but too in frequent ly. does it. Next.-Columbia Hecord. You are vintirt4y miistakena. There wva, ohn "sniverinl' ml 4)ur1 stu4 gestion, and ni(ither did we intend to intimate that "'lhe Meord's editor knows no-t1linil.''

W"~e i necased (liat ci rcuiat(ion to aboiut .1200 whlen (te papher was imade' twiee a week with four pages. .1 t gradually grew in circulat hm andic it was theni made an eight, page pa per with five columnis to the page, and later, six columns to the page, and the cireulation h!as constanmtly grown until nowv we are printing 2300 cop)ies. This is our experience, anid if we hind to neglect any dhepart menit, we wouild neglect (lie editoirial department and we confess to be oiie of the sinners to that extent. We thinik that with this much said, it can be readily understood why in our judgment a paper fromn any member of the association on the subject would be interesting aid instructive. We would like to suggest to the editor of The Record, -ho*ver, that probably his, as well as other editor ial utterances, would have much more helpful influence if they were less spiteful. A proper criticism can do no harm, and oftentimes may do a great deal of good, if made ill polite and courteous language. The country paper should have edi -troial and we always try to have sonic but it is not the only thing that goes to make a good and strong colm try paper. AS TO SPECIAL COURTS. At tihe last session of the legisla tiurei all ict was passed providing for ain ex'tra terin of the court of coimoti pleas at Greeiiville and one at Greenl Wood.

This year thle appro priadimn bill, as it camne fromt thle wa*,Y.. mi1d mneanls commilltec, had not provision ill it to pay extra judgIes, nId it passed the house without aiv suchl ptovision.
