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.
Picnic at Saluda Academy.
There will be a pienie at Saluda
academy, in No. 9 rownship, on Sat
utdav, September 5. Refreshments
will be served for benefit of ball
team. There will be two ball gamnes.

Mfay the Giver of all good things

A CARD.
Of the more than one thousand loy
al and thoughtful frieids who favor
ed me on last Tuesday with their kind
partiality, I am sincerely proud, and
grateful to them; for those who
chose another I have the kindliest
feelings. All will rest assured the
present failure to reach my goal shall
not deter me in the least from great
er and more determined efforts in the
future in trying to build up the rural
school. If I can be of any assistance
to any section of the coun~ in the
matter of educational work, my ser
vices are subject to command.
