SIXTEN PAGES.
The Herald and News today issues
a Christmas edition of sixteen pag
es. It has taken much additional la
bor to print a paper twice the size of
the regular issue, and we believe this
work in their behalf will be appre
ciated by our subscribers.
Many merchants make special an
nouncements in these columns to the
Christmas trade, and to these an
tention of our readers. They should
have no trouble to select their Christ
mas goods by simply looking through
the pages of this issue.
The matter to which we especially
desire to direct the attention of our
read ,rs' at this time is. that if they
will make their purchases early they
will be better pleased themselves,
and with every early purchase made,
before Ohristmas is actually upon us,
nouncements we 'nvite the special at
they lighten by so much the burdens
of the merchants and their clerks.
If everybody should wait until
Christm'as eve to make* all their
purchases, it would be a physical
impossibility anywhere for the mer
-chants to handle the trade. Buy your
Christmas goods as early as you can.
You will receive more attention, you
will have a larger stock to select
from, and you will lighten the bur
den of many people whose hardest
work is during the Christmas holi
days.
OLD NED'S DREAM.
"Dear as remembered kisses af
ter death," is the memory cherished
in Southern hearts of the old South
ern civilization. And so long as we
hand down to succeeding generations
the history of a glorious past made
by a brave people and a proud peo
pie,. so ..long will; we tell..them, as it
has been told us, of the constancy
and fidelity of the old-time Southern
darkey, Be it said to his everlast
ing credit that during the last dread
-ful days of the bloodiest conflict the
would has ever seen, when in many
instane's tihe women of the south
were at his ,mercy, and when the sue
'cess of-xirtherre~ armr meant -free
dom to him, the old-time Souther.n
negro was true to the trust in him re
posed. There were exceptions, bul
they -were very rare. After the war,
-when the south was fi.lled with car
pet-baggers, many of the negroes were
led astray by them, and drastic meas
ures were necessary for the preser
vation of white supremacy, but even
then the Southern people could not
forget the fidelity of the negro when
our men were away from home facing
northern cannor, and our women
* were at home.
'In a poem, tender in its pathos, in
this issue of The Herald and News,
Miss Mae Lucile Smith, of Hender
sonville, N. 'C., who has recently
made her home in Newberry, has eu
logized the fidelity of the old south
ern negro, and interwoven in the
lines is a beautiful pen picture of
Southerm conditions in the days of
which s-he speaks. Her poem is en
titled "Old Ned's Dream,'' and it
--is true to the traditions of the old
* south, "that held the goodli-est
fellowship of knightly men and loy
al women whereof this world holds
. record; where was found, in the high
-est degree, that sensibility of prin
-ciple, that chastity of honor, which
feels a stain like a wound and in
spires courage while it ,mitigates
-ferocity,'' whose civilization, "at .the
. bar of mock humanity aind envy and
bate, was adjudged to b-c worthy of
death.''"
A GOOD STORY.
In this Christmas -edition of The
Herald and News we begin the pub
lication of a story especially select
ed for publication during this sea
son. The story wi'll continue for sev
eral issues, but will be concluded be
fore the holidays are over. It be
gin3s on the fourteenth page of The
Herald and News today, its title be
ing ".Rosemary in Search of a Fath
er,'' by C. N. and A. M. Williamson
It is a pretty Christmas story, illus
trated, and deserves the attention of
the readers of The Herald and News.
Governor Ansel -has at last given
out his decision as to what he pro.
poses to do in politics after the ex
piration of his prese~nt term as gov
ernor. He decides to stand for re
election to Isucceed himself.
So far as the~ situation appears at
present he will have no opposition.
We think that Governor Avel has
takn the right view of th-e siLcation.
His administration as governor has
been entirely satisfactory to the
people and it would have been a
'great misfortune for the state to
have been torn as it woull have been
with the political campagin next
summer for the office of governor. Of
course a state campaign will be nec
essary inasmuch as Mr. Martin will
not be a candidate for reelection for
state superintendent of education,
and t1gere is always opposition to
the railroad commisioner. So - far
Senator Latimer, of course, will be a
candidate to succeed himself and
Mr. John J. Dargan has announced
that he will be a candidate and Mr.
0. B. Martin has made a similar an
nouncement. It is also understood
that Mr. D. S. Henderson will aspire
to the senatorial toga and we have
seen it stated that Col. George John
stone would also be in the race
though these two have not made any
formal announcement of their inten
tion.
We notice that the commission to
wind up the affairs of the state dis
pensary employed an auditor to
audit the books at a 'cost of $8,000.
This seems to us rather exorbitant to
have paid for this work. As we un
derstand it the la* required the gov
ernor each year to appoint one or
two expeJt accountants to go over
the books and check up the affairs
of the state dispensary in addition
to the checking which was done
monthly by the legislative committee.
This auditing committee may have
found some papers and vouchers
missing and may do injustice to
those who had charge of the books
and accounts for the reason that it
was taken for granted that after the
legislative committee and 'the expert
accountants appointed each year had
gone over these accounts and found3
them correct that the matter was
closed. But be 'that as it may the
amount the commission paid this aud
iting committee appears at least to
be a very high charge for the work.
:Senator Latimer has introduced a
bill in the senate to provide for the
purchase of a site and erection of
a government' building at Newberry.
It is the same bill which was intro
duced in the last session of congress
by Senator Latimer and is also prae
tically 'the same bill' which was in
troduced in the house .by C~ongress~
man Aiken.
.We trust .the citizens of Newberry
as well as the new city council, who
will be elected today, will view our
streets and side walks during these
rainy days. We would suggest, how
ever, that it may not be well to view
them with a critic's eye.

This is a little nature story that
you are free to believe or not, but it
is perfectly true and happened yes
terad in the New York .Zoological
Park.
Guna, Congo, Khartoum and Sul
tana, the elephants; Mr. and Mrs.
Rubber, the giraffes; Monguii, the
hippo, and Speke, the rhino,. were all
put in winter quarters in the ante
lope house last week and were very
comfortable there until Saturday,
when two seals were put in.
'The other animals were eating hay
when the seals were sent in, but as
soon as they saw the seals being fed
fish they all dropped from their
mouths the hay they were eating
and refused to touch' another mor
sel.
The keepers couldn 't make head
or tail of the matter until yesterday
when th'ey went in to feed more fish
to the seals and then all the other
animals set up such a roar that the
keepers understood that the animals
were on strike because they didn't
want any fish-eaters in the animal
hous'e.
As soon as the seals were taken
out the other animals at once recoin
mened to eat hay.
