E. H. AULL, EDITOR. Entered at the Postoffice at New terry. S. C., as 2nd class matter. Tuesday, Auust 27, 1907. AS NBAR AS WE CAN. We very much admire the persis tency and the energy which is dis played by the editor of the Charles ton Post in his efforts to bring to the front his candidate for the United States Senate. We sympathize with him in his efforts to arouse the state press to the importance and advisa bility and the necessity to stand up to one of their own members. We should all assist the editor of the Post in his efforts to gratify the ambition of a brother editor. But the Post seems to have been more successful in securing foreign endorsement, as note the following from the New York Herald: "South Carolina De moeracy would strengthen their or ganization and gratify the rank and file of the party throughout the coun try by sending a man of Major Hemphill's high earacter and ability to the senate as a counterpoise to the impetuous and fiery senior sena tor." And this appeared in the Sun day Herald at that. We believe that the Bamberg Her ald has burned all bridges behind it and pledged undying support to the Post's candidate. The Herald and News would have been in line long ago, but for the fact that we have made it a rule of our existence to stand by Newberry men, who always have political ambitions, and as we never fail to furnish our full quota of candidates for all of the positions in the gift of th-e people of. South Carolina, we have been waiting to see if we could not hear a noise around Newberry, which sounded like the fluttering of a senatorial candi date or two, but not having heardany such noise and the time being so near for the alignment to be made, we have about decided to drop in line and put our shoulders to the wheel, which is being turned by the Charles ton Post in the interest of Major Hemphill 's candidacy for the United States senate. That is about as neat as we can, just at this time, come to committing ourselves. We observe that the people of Summerville, away down near Char leston , are making complaint because * "of the screaming of whistles and other disturbing noises of the pass ing trains at all hours of thie night.'' We suppose if the ma3 or of the city resides anyiwhere near these scream ing noises he. '"ill soon have nm ordi nance passd. --equirinu; these trains to pass through the ci+; without mak ing such u:carthly noises so as not disturb the peaceful slumber of the quiet inhabitants. We recall that some years ago the Atlantic Coast I.Line 1:ad to pass around the city of Ide'nm.nd with its r.ightt trains be cause the noise of the t rains passing * through would have kept the inhabi * tants awaike of nights, and as a re suIt passengers for Richmond had to be awakened about three o'clock in 'the 1:orning anud transferred to a day coach a'nd ru:1 ouietly into the city. It will be well for the statet to * pass a law, requiring all persons to be in their homes if they have one, by 9 o'clock at night and to remain there antil sunup the next morning an.1 :o stop all of t'. night work anud Shib trains and o* Sunday of course there should not be the sligilt est udise of any kind. These S.'z, * daty tra'a s should be stopped a::d backs u d cooks shonMl take a ret. A LITTLE PREVIOUS. We observe the following para graph from the Greenwood Index: Spartanburg county has voted to issue $200,000 in bonds for the pur pose of improving the roads of the * county. Spartanburg evidently does not believe in waiting on Senator Latimer's Federal aid scheme. Spar tanburg county is as progressive as Spartanburg city. This latest mark of progress puts that county right at the top. It has been there for sometime so far as this state is con cerned. The reason? Spartanburg people do not mind spending money to get money. The Index, like The Herald and News, was a little previous in its commendation of the people of Spar tanlurg. It seems that later infor miation shows that the proposition to issue bonds for the building of roads was voted down. We regret that the Spartanburg people by their votes did not make it possible for the words of commendation, spoken by the Index and The Herald and News, to remain and to be true. As a matter ot fact the vote indi eates that the city of Spartanburg really (leteated the bond issue, though a very li,_ht vote wa. polled through out the county. We suppose it is just as we stated sometime ago in regard to Anderson -that everybody is suspicious of ev. erybody else and is afraid that his neighbor will get the advantage of the good roads before he does, and therefore, nobody will get it. We can not make any substantial progress until we get out of such narrow grooves and become broad enough not to be envious even if the good work of improvAmfnt shoiAld stirike our neighbor before it hits us. Good roads in any county and in any por tion of any county will benefit all of the people of that county, just like good streets or some good streets in any city will help all the people in that city, and yet, we find in some cities that people are opposed to street improvement, because theyl fear that the -street in front of some body else's door will be improved be fore the one in front of their own door will. We cannot understand the narrow ness of such a position, yet we can not close our eyes to the facts. We only .hope that these conditions will soon pass #way. Mr. Wallace C. Tompkins is a pat riotic citizen who has the welfare of Edgefield at heart. He will donate one hundred acres of land for a trol ley lino 'from Augusta, Edgefield, Sa luda to Newbe-ry. We hear of others who are ready to aid in a like manner and others with cash. Edgefield is surely awakeningi-Edgefield News. There will be no difficulty in secur ing a right of way to any company that will build the road. We megn from Edgefield to Whitmire. The people in the country are very anx ious to have this road built and will give all the aid and cooperation in their power. A gentleman from No. 8 remarked the other day that the peo ple out his way would be willing to b taxed if necessary, if they could be assured of the road. We should have the road bed which has already been graded from here to Augusta. It would help a great deal. There might be necessity for a few changes but the work that has been done would be of great help. We hope Gov.. Sheppard and his committee will get the information they are to 'seek and that ,another meeting will be held and some prac tical plan such as suggested by Gen. Butler be adopted so that we may get to work.. A construction company with the right of way secured and the line sur veyed would have something tangi able with which to go to these other people. We notice that the Cotton Growers Association of Spartanburg county have fixed 13' cents as the minimum price for this season. We unider stand -that President Jordan advocat es 15 cents as the minimum. We should think that the action of the Spartan burg Association is the ivise course to pursue. If the farmers can re eive a minimum of 13 cents for their rop we think they will be in a bet ter position to control the situation in the future. We do not believe it would be wise to fix so high a figure as 15 cents as the minimum. MR JOHNSTONE HONORED. We congratulate Mr. Alan John stone and the people of Newbe.rry that one of its citizens has been hon ored by promotion to the head of one of the most important institutions in the state. Mr. Johnstone was one of the firt elective members . of theI board of trustees for Clemson college and rendered valuable service in the building of the college. For some reason the legislature failed to re elect him and for a few years the state was denied his valuable counsel and work on this board. Sometime ago,- however, he was elected to the position of life member on the death of Mr. D. K. Norris and ha's gone into the work with enthusiasm.I Now upon the resignation of Mr. R. W. Simpson as chairman of the board his services have been recog nized and he has been ctosen by the entire board as president of the board of trustees, a position which earries with it great honor, much la hor and time as well as added respon sibility. In thk new position we have no doubt Mr. Johnstone will measure up to the requirements plac ed upon him. We regret. however, that this posi tion which has been voluntarily giv en to Mr. Johnstone shall deprive the people of Newberry county of his valuable services as a member of the ..1-ilii )f .IN95 no mal v'all serve as a mwmber of tle -eneral assembly who holds any position of trust or I llanor. Artiele :. Sectiin 24 says: "Seetion 24. No person shall be eligible to a seat in the general as- A sembly while he holds any office or position of profit or trust under this -state, the United States or any of them, or under any other power, ex- T( cept offices in the military and no taries pubiie; and if any member shall accept or exercise any of the said disqualifying offices or positions Si he shall vacate his seat." President Z. F. Wright continues the special committee with the trans por.tation committee of the chamber of commerce to confer with the Edgefield committees in regard to the proposed trolley from Augusta via Edgefield to Newberry. It is expect ed that another meeting of the sever al committees will be called very soon A by the president of the Edgefield meeting, Hon. B. E. Nicholson. Gen. Butler in his interview with the News and Courier on labor condi tions spoke a very strong truth when L he said: "If we could get rid of the demagogue this country would be all fo right. Why a fellow will get up and a make a speech in which he portrays ".) the marvellous prosperity and pro- m gress of the country, and then in a little while he will denounce the cor- an porations for their terrible oppres sion of the people. I can't figure out sn how he stands for both propositions.'' po It is a little remarkable that the de- sn magogue should be able to remain in the saddle in this country so long. br We are strongly convinced that e Gen. Butler is right when he says that a lot of these fellows who are w, constantly denouncing the negro ai would be almost ready to start. a civ il war if there should be any organiz ed effort for the exodus of the negro- B, In fact, we believe that the legislature has already passed an act requiring ed the license for emigration agents to -s be so high as to be prohibitive. We in believe that the negro is the best farm hj labor that we can secure in this coun- tv try and we also believe that the white ta people and the farm'ers of this coun- ge ry can control the labor without any g great amount of legislation if they T will determine to do so and if each. at man will do by his neighbor as he would like for his neighbori to db by him. Of course the first step in .this p] direction will be the repealing of,the th~ lien law and we are satisfied that this th~ will be done at the next session of the legislature. ' ti< Ebl. James T. Bacon has complet- ed ed fifty years of 'editorial life an'd .st; labor. It has been one of many and varied experiences and we hope he m may live to give us many.more years of valuable service. nE It was not the intention of Editor Aull to have his knowledge of p.oker advertised, nor did he expect the edi tor of the Observer would exploit it ER when he remarked that the number of the Observer offiee represented a fairly good poker hand. We do not laim any great knowledge of this ax game but we have always understood be that four one spots was a fairly good an hand. We know we are not as guile less in a great many ways as our co- t temporary nor as ignorant of this sh great game. And yet probably, well- p His innoncenee reminds us th sowewhat of a mayor of a certain be town that we once heard of who pe signed an ordinance licensing a m bucket shop and afterwards said he ar did not know the nature of the busi ness which this institution did. pe th In Memori&m. fir In memory of my beloved dead, my in father, J.

And speaking of eows, it is relat that a Baltimorean who was no, ed to the ways of the country went to the suburbs to visit a friend who d taken up amateur farming with 1o cows, a bee and a hoe. At the ble they had excellent milk for neral purposes and astonishingly >od cream for the coffee and cereals. 1e visitor expressed his admiration, Ld then inquired: "Which of your cows gives cream? "The sorrel," was the prompt re y. "But we have a neighbor down e street whose cows don't give any ing but condensed niilk." "Indeed?" "Absolutely true. It is an inven n of his own. He gets the condens milk by putting six cows in to a all big enough for only one." And the visitor returned to Balti >re breathing reverently: "Marvellous! Marvello'as! %[ will *ver again question the wisdom of ture." AN ORDINANCE. ~quiring Bicycle Riders to Dismount When Meeting Pedestrian on the Sidewalks.
