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.
