??}? ?mli i K. B. AULL, EDITOR. Entered at the Postoffice at Newberry. S. C., as and class matter. Tuesday, Decombor 10, 1907. SIXTEEN PAGES. Tho Herald and News today issues a Christmas edition of sixteen pages. it has taken much additional labor to print a paper twicj the size ot' tire regular issue, and we believe Mi is work in their behalf will be appreciated by our subscribers. Many merchants make specimt announcements in these columns to the Christmas trade, au<l to these antention of our readers. They should have no trouble to select their Christmas goods by simply looking through the pages of this issue. The matter to which we especially desire to direct the attention of our readers at lliis time is that if they , will make their purchases early they' will be better pleased themselves, and with every early purchase made, before Christmas is actually upon us, nounccments we "nvite the special atthcy lighten by so much the burdens of the merchants and tlreir clerks. If everybody should wait until Christmas eve to make all their purchases, it would lie a physical impossibility anywhere for the merchants to handle the trade. liny your Christmas goods as early as you ca:i. Yon will receive more attention, you wiil have a larger stock t?? select I'rom. and you will lighten the bur'<lt*ri of many people whose hardest work is during the Christmas holidays. OLD NED'S DREAM. "hear as remembered kisses after death,'" i.^ the memory cherished in Southern hearts of the old Southern civilization. And so long as we hand down to succeeding generations the history ol a glorious past made by a brave people and a proud people. so long will we tell I hem, as il has been told us, of the constancy and fidelity of the old-time Southern darkev. He il said to his everlasting credit that during the last dreadful days of the bloodies! conflict the world has ever seen, when in many instanc's the woiue:i of the south were at his mercy, and when the success of northern arms meant freedom to iiiin, the old-time Southern negro was true to the trust in hini re'posed. There were except ions, but they were very rare. After the war, when the south was filled with carpet-baggers, many of the negroes were led astray by I hem, and drastic measures were necessary for the preservation of while supremacy, but even then the Southern people could not for. el the fideiity of the negro when our men were away from home lacing northern c:\nnor, and our women were al home. In a poem, tender in its pathos, in this issue of The Herald and New.*., Miss Mae Hueile Smith, of llenderSonville. N. who has recently made her home in Newberry, has eulogized the fidelity of ihe old southern neuro, a.id interwoven in the. lines is a beautiful pen picture of (Southern conditions in the days of which she speaks. Her poem is entitled "Old Ned's Dream," and it is true to the traditions of the old south, "that held the goodliest fellowship of knightly men and loyal women whereof (his world holds record; where was found, in the highest degree, that sensibility of principle, that chastity of honor, which feels a slain like a wound and inspires courage while il mitigates ferocity," whose civilization, "at the bar of mock humanity and envy and hale, was adjudged to he worthy of death.'' A GOOD STORY. """Iti this Christmas edition of The lle":iM and New; we beyin (lie publication of a story especially selected for publication during this season. The story >\i!l continue for several issues, but wili he concluded before Ihe holidays are over. 11 begins on Ihe fourteenth pa^e of The lleraid and News today, its title being " K'oseniary in Search of a Kath er," by C. N. and A. M. Williamson. Il is a pretty Christmas story, illustrated, and deserves the attention of the readers of The Herald and News. Ciovernor Ansel has at last given out his decision as to what he proposes to do in politics after Ihe expiration of his present term as governor. He decides to stand for reelection to succeed himself. So far as I lie situation appears at present he will have no opposition. We think that flovemor A'hoI has taken the right view of tire si,nation, #; >!?''' ' " ii ' . .. '!>. A.-... ' ' . / i llis ml ministration as g< vernor has boon entirely satisfactory to tho poopie ami it would have been a great misfortune for the state to have boon torn as it wonl.l have been with the political campagin next summer for the office of governor. Of course a state campaign will be necessary inasmuch as Mr. Martin will not be a candidate for reelection for I s|?tc superintendent of education, and tljere is always opposition to the railroad conunisioner. 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 a.id Mr. (). B. Martin has made a similar announcement. It is also understood that Mr. I"). S. Henderson will aspire to the senatorial toga and we have seen it slated that" Col. George Johnstone would also be in the race though these two have not made any formal announcement of their intention. We notice tha-t the commission to win.l ii)> (lie affairs of tho state dispensary employed an auditor to audit I lie books at a cost ol $S,()00. This seems |o lis rather exorbitant to have paid for this work. As we understand il the law required the governor each year to appoint 0110 or two expo.'t accountants to go over the books and check up the affairs of the state dispensary in addition to the cheeking which was done monthly by the legislative commit tee. This auditing committee may have found some papers and vouchers missimr and may do injustice to I hose who had charire of the hooks and accounts for (lie reason that it was taken for u'raut'od that after the legislative committee and the expert accountants appointed each year had gone over these accounts and found I hem correct thai tho matter was (dosed. Hut 1)?' lliat as it may the amount the commission paid this auditing commit toe appears at least to be a very biyh charge for tho work. i Senator Latimer has introduced a bill in the senate to provide for the purchase of :i site and erection of a government building at Newberry. It is tho same bill which was introduced in the last session of congress bv Senator Latimer and is also practically the sain# Will which was introduced in the house by 'Congressman Aiken. We trust the citizens of Newberry as well as the new city council, who will bo ol ceiled today, will view our streets and side walks during these rainy days. We would suggest, how" over, that it may not be well to view them with a critic's eve.
