E. H. AULL, EDITOR. Entered at the Postoffice at New berry, S. C., as 2nd class matter. Tuesday, September 1, 1908. AS TO THE COLUMBIA STATE. The Herald and News has said all it cares to say to the Columbia State. We stated in the last issue that the newspaper controversy, so far as we are concerned, was ciosed. After the charge we made as to the assertions and insinuations of the Columbia State, it is useless to bandy words further, in the newspapers, at least. It will be recalled that we charac terized certain assertions and insin uations of the editor of the Columbia State as "maliciously false." REBUILD THE BRIDGE. The committee appointed by the citizens' meeting to raise money from the business men of the city for the purpose of building a ferry at the stell bridge had no difficulty in se curing necessary funds. Before the ferry is nompleted, how ever, it would be weL for the cham ber of commerce or the citizens' meet ing to send some one to the steel bridge and to have a conference with the supervisor of Newberry as well as the supervisor of Saluda and see if it would not be the better plan to rebuild the bridge. We have positive information that the piers are stand ing and that all of the steel part of the bridge is still there. We also understand that the, supervisor of Sa luda county has let the contract for the building of an approach to the bridge from the Saluda side. It is said that probably there would be difficulty in securing the right-of way on the Saluda side of the ferry, as the ferry would be located some 200 or 300 yards below the bridge. It is thought that with the expen diture of $100 or $1500 by the two counties that the bridge can be re placed and the approaches built, and that the work if eemmenced at once could be completed within two weeks. If these facts are correct it cer tainly would be economy to rebuild the bridge at once and to abandon the idea of a ferry, which will cost $300 or $400 in addition 'to the cost of maintenance and besides a ferry could scarcely accommodate the peo ple who desire to eress. We suggest that the committees in charge from the citizens' meeting as well as the ebamber of commerce take this mater up at once with the sup ervisors of the t*o counties, and look into it thoroughly before any money is expended on the establish ment of the ferry. THE ELECTION RETURNS. Notwithstanding the fact that New berry was almost completely bottled up by the floods, The Herald and News was able to keep the people of Newberry posted on the State elec * tion returns as fast as they were re ceived in Columbia and Charleston; * and practically complete totals wer< given in .our regular issue of Friday, and complete totals in ~our extra of Friday afternoon. These figures were changed very little by the offi cial count. The business of a newspaper is to give the news while it is news, and that is what The Herald and News did last week notwithstanding the floods. The Herald and News has also, un der great difficulties, kept its read ers posted in regard to the flood sit -uation, not only, i1 Newberry, but throughout the State. The Bell Telephone has maintained * its service out of Newberry without interruption, and 'to this company much credit is due for keeping up our communication with tile outside world.
