The Columbia correspondent of Hi News mihI Courier says lliat there wi be a vancaney 011 (he Stale board a education in the event "Mr. \V. , "Montgomery is elected to the senat from Marion county, lie cannot hoi t lie two positions." Mr. Monlgomcr ought tr> come to Newberry count and then it would not he necessary fo him to resign any of them but h could hold not only two positions Ini lie could hold three. We notice that Mr. Ifliett has tele graphed his congratulations to Mr K. 1). Smith on the handsome voti which he received in the primary fo 1'niled Stales senator, and it is slale< from Spartanburg in the Columbii Stale that Mr. Johnstone was in tha city and went direct In Hie home ol Gov. Kvans. We presume that llii: means that Mr. Rhetl favors I lie elcc lion of Mr. Smith and that Mr. John stone is friendly lo the candidacy ol Mr. Kvans. THE COUNTY RETURNS. The Herald and News desires t( thank the managers of election foi their promptness in sending in the election returns on last Tuesday night. With their cooperation The Herald and News and the Observe! were able to issue extras, which ineluded every box except two am which gave the result of every race before II o'clock on Tuesday night This was done, notwithstanding tlx rains on Tuesday afternoon and Tues day night. We ask the cooperalior of the managers again on next Tues day night, in order that we may se cure returns from I he second priman prompt Iv. I ho Herald and News regrets fix continued illness of (Jen. It. K. Hemp hill, <>l the Abbeville Medium, an< hopes Ilinl lie may soon he restorer to liis accustomed good health. Who is secretary of the Newherr; Chamber of Commerce? After the heavy rains and the loni wet spell it is important thai th hoard of health shall I ook after III observance ami enforcement of sue! measures as will conduce to the liealll of (he city. The News and Courier say Gov Ansel "will regard faithfully hi oath "to exercise the duties of th ollice in which I have been elected and that I will, to the best of nr ability, discharge Hie duties thereof and preserve, protect and defend th Constitution of this State and of th I "nil ed States." "We think thai we may promis* that much for him; and his most loy al supporters in the contest, wliicl has just (dosed with so great credi to him. will be satisfied with notion? else.'1 Thai is what all others should do Not only the governor but all other elected should regard the eoustitu i<?"al oath, "to uphold and defeiu the constitution." When they dr bot and the people say it amounts t< little, how are you going to expeel observance of law? The State supreme court has decided that it is as much a violation ol law to >ell ice on Sunday as cigars or anything else. That (lie selling ol ice and meal is not a work of neees s',v- (hir good ami law-abiding friends will have lo call in their iei wagons on Sujiday and close the doon of the ice house ami those who waul to keep cool on Sunday must lav ii the cool Mipply on Saturday. Tlx "l'''!io!i 1- publish, ,| in |'?n hc>t col,,,,,,). Tlie decision is |'o?nded it good reason. I! seems that Mr. \\. I.. Caugliniai will break Hie record and succeoi himself as railroad commissioner, lli leads in the lirst primary and shonh lead in the second. Hester's report of the cotton croj for 1007-08 is two million bales nn der the crop for the preceding vear The present crop will be less than tIn last. Why then should the price g< down. Mr. \\ vat I W. Bradley, the prival secretary to Hon. Wyalt Aiken am a life member of the board of I run lees of Cleinson college Inis been ap pointed ?reasurer of Abbeville conn ty. - Common Picas Court. r A meeting of the Newberry bar was held on Wednesday afternoon to arrange a roster of eases j.t? be trk'd in I lie eoiiimon pleas court which convenes in Newberry on the 14th of this month. = There could have been two weeks of civil court for jury cases at this time but no jury was drawn for the second week, and il was loo late yes0 terday ti? .yet the jury in time. Quite a number of cases were arranged for trial, bill it is very probable that only '* a few (if them will be heard. 0 .Tiid^c H. \V. Mcmmingcr will preside ill this term of the court, this being his second visit to Newberry. 11 is first court after being elected judge was held :tl Newberry, nearly ' two years ago. Smith and Wearn.

Peterson, (looperative Observer. - ^ ^ Pretending to Know. 0 It is a curious fact that il is nearlv h i,lv" ays Ihe most ignorant people who are so afraid of their ignorance being discovered. 1 f you commence talking to these people on some subject about which they know practically nothing, they are not honest enough lo ::t onre s let this become apparent, so that one (> may tactfully turn the conversation I '? into other channels, and thus find out, I ^ probably, what they do kn nv and can I > easily talk about; but they po.l their heads emphatically, acquiescing in P ev<u \ thing yon say, jus; as if that were Ihe conclusion that they also had e come to after long and minute inves ligation of Ihe subject. And it is on1 ly the bewildered and harassed look t which after a while creeps in'o their eyes that lets you into the secret? they have been playing at pretending to understand all the tim?, and what ? you have be?m saving i , in reality, . so much ('reek or "double Dutch" j to them. > Oh, the hollowness and sham of it ) all! Why not have openly avowed I; their lack of knowledge and ii:en, ? they still wished to hear ' onset-hing more about what you wm-i saying:, they could have added, "Rut it U a subject that has always had a special fascination for me," or '*gveatly in5 I crests me," and then frankly settle themselves to listen, throwing out a n mark or asking a question here and Cure. A good listener is b uiu l to gather N together a certain amount of knowledge, or at least pick up a good deal 1 of useful information, whether J e will or not. A ml as i; is t hat one good lis1 tener is in more demand llian two talkers, persons whose knowlcduV is strictly limited shouhl lav themselves | out to become the former. Thev will never lind themselves in the wav, for ^ the good conversationalist-?and, be it said. Ihe empty-headed bore loo?is always on Ihe lookout for the g'>od listener, be he ignorant or otherwise. And thus everyone is pleased. r> Kick the Printer. ? Tn the city of P>rooklvn, N. V., there has been for many years a conspicuous signboard outside an oflfiee e which reads; ''Kick Ihe Printer." i | bibulous persons sometimes go in side to carry out the apparent re" quest. lint they discover that the prin lor is a gentleman bv the name of Kick. Ill every town there are persoi who, if ihev do not actually i'eel lil< kicking the printer?the newspapi man?al any rate do a lot of kiokin at the way lie comlucts his paper. Please dont kick the printer; he i doing the best he can. And what he does for I lie town an community, despite his occasion: mistakes, may he a great deal moi than the kickers themselves are doinj Did that ever occur to you? We are all neighbors in this towi What helps one helps the other What hurts one hurts others. Ever community is a mutual benefit ass* cialion, whether organized or just rui ning wild. The printer is a chartc member. If you had no printer?no news paper?how would you like that? D you know what happens to towns tbfl don't support a newspaper? Notliin happens. Candidate and Law. The late Albert Pell, a conservativ member of parliament, who devote his life to the betterment of agricul turn, the prevention of cattle diseas and the administration of the poo law, was a man of ready wit. It. is stated in a recently publisher volume of reminiscences of Mr. Pel that during an election he was askei if he was not the member who ha< made the law which commanded poo men to support their parents. "No." lie rapped out; "that is ai older law. It was written by God Al mighty on two tables of stone am brought down by Moses from Moun Sinai; and as far as 1 can make out Thomas, i! is the stone and not lb law that lias got into your heart."?
