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

Hester's report of the cotton croj

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

^ 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."?
