jkJoAdv E. H. AULL, EDITOR. Entered at the Postoffice at New berry, S. C., as 2nd class matter. Friday, September 4, 1908. The Columbia correspondent of the News and Courier says that there will be a vancancy on the State board of education in the event "Mr. W. J. Montgomery is elected to the senate from Marion county, he cannot hold the two positions." Mr. Montgomery ought to come to Newberry county and then it would not be necessary for him to resign any of them but he could hold not only two positions but he could hold three. We notice- that Mr. Rhett has tele graphed his congratulations to Mr. E. D. Smith on the handsome vote which he received in the primary for United States senator, and it is stated from .Spartanburg in the Columbia State that Mr. Johnstone was in that city and went direct to the home of Gov. Evans. We presume that this means that Mr. Rhett favors the elec tion of Mr. Smith and that Mr. John stone is friendly to the candidacy of Mr. Evans. THE COUNTY RETURNS. The Herald and News desires to thank the managers of election for their promptness in sending in the election returns on last Tuesday night. With their cooperation The Herald and News and the Observer were able to issue extras, which in eluded every box except two and which gave the result of every race, before 11 o'clock on Tuesday night. This was done, notwithstanding the rains on Tuesday afternoon and Tues day night. We ask the cooperation of the managers again on next Tues day .night, in order that we may se cure returns from the second primary promptly. The Herald and News regrets the continued illness of Gen. R. R. Hemp hill, of the Abbeville Medium, and hopes that he may soon be restored to his accustomed good health. * Who is secretary of the Newberry Chamber of Commerce? After the heavy rains and the long wet spell it is important that the board of health shall look after the observance and enforcement of such * measures as will conduce to the.health of the city. The News and Courier say Gov. .Ansel "will regard faithfully his oath "to exercise the duties of the office to which I have been elected, and that I will, to the best of my ability, discharge the duties thereof, and preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of this State and of the United States.'' "We think that we may promise that much for him; and his most loy al supporters in the contest, which has .iust closed with so great credit to him, will be satisfied with nothing else.'' That is what all others should do. Not only the governor but all others elected should regard the constitu tional oath, "to uphold and defend the constitution.'' When they do fiot and the people say it amounts to * little, how are you going to expect observance of law? The State supreme court has ,de cided that it is as much a violation of law to sell ice on Sunday as cigars or anything else. That the selling of ice and meat is not a work of neces sity. Our good and law-abiding friends will have to call in their ice wagons on Suniday and close the doors of the ice house and those who want to keep cool on Sunday must lay in the cool supply on Saturday. The * opinion is published in full in another column. The decision is fonnded in good reason. It seems that Mr. B. L. Caughman will break the record and succeed himself as railroad commissioner. He leads in the first primary and should lead in the second. Hester's report of the cotton crop for 1907-08 is two million bales uin der the crop for the preceding year. The present crop will-be less than the last. Why then should the price go down. Mr. Wyatt W. Bradley. the private secretary to HIon. Wyatt Aiken and a life member of the board of trus tees of Clemson college ha been ap pointed treasurer of Abbeville coun ty. Common Pleas Court. A meeting of the Newberry bar was held on Wednesdav afternoon to arraige a roster of cases yt be triled in the common pleas court wlich 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 juiy was drawn for the second week. and it was too late yes terday to get the jury in time. Quite a number of cases were arranged for trial. but it is very probable that only a few of them will be heard. Judge R. W. Memminger will pre side at this term of the court, this being his second visit to Newberry. His first court after being elected judge was held at Newberry, nearly two years ago. Smith and Wearn. Mr. Frank G. Wearn, of the firm of Smith and Wearn representing The Globe Tailoring company, of Cincin nati, Ohio, will be in Newberry next week, September 7 and 8, for the pur pose of taking orders for tailor made suits. Mr. Wearn has been with this com pany for a number of years and has always given satisfaction in fitting and quality, and will be pleased to have his friends remember his date and call and examine his line of sam ples and, leave their orders for their winter clothing.

Peterson, Cooperative Observer. Pretending to Know. It is a curious fact that it is nearly always the most ignorat people who are so afraid of their ignorance being discovered. If you commenee talking to these people on some suibjeet about which they know practically no.thing, they are not honest enough to at once let this become apparent, so that one may tactfully turn the conversation into other channels, and thus find out, probably, what they do know and can easily talk about; but they nod their heads emphatically, acquieseing in everything you say, just as. if t.hat were the conclusion that they also had come to after long and minute inves tigation of the subject. And it is on ly the bewildered and harassed look which after a while creeps into their eyes that lets you into the seret they have been playing at pretending to understand all the time, and what you have been saying i:, in reality, so much Greek or "donble Dutch'' to them. Oh, the hollowness and sham of it all! Why not have openly avovwed their lack of knowledge, and th:en. ''f they still wished to hear 'omnething more about what you were ..aying, they could have added, "But it' is a object that has always had a special fascination for me,'' or "g-eatly in terests me,'' and then frankly settle themselves to listen, throwing out a runark or asking a question here and thre.. A good listener is hbun.i to gather together a certain amount of know 'ledge, or at least pick up a g'ood deal of useful information, whaether he will or not. And as it is said that one good lis tener is in more demanai than twvo talkers, persons whose knowled% is strictly limited should lay themselves out to become the former. Thiey will never find themselves in the way, for the good conversationalist-and, be it said. the empty-headed bore too-is always on the lookout for the g"od listener, be he ignorant or otherwise. And thus everyone is pleased. Kick the Printer. In the city of Brooklyn, N. Y., there has been for many years a con spicuous signboard outside an office which reads: ''Kick the Printer."' Bibulous personrs soroietimnes go inl side to caIrry out the app arent re just. b)ut they discovecr that the prin ter is a gentleman by the name of In every 1 o'Vi t 1iere :re persOn1 wllo. if they 1(1d not actulally feel like kiekiig the pri ter-the niCwspal)er mai--at ai' rate (dc a lot of kickin' at the way he conducts his paper. Please dont kick the printer; he is doing the best he can. And what he does for the town and communlity. despite his occasional mistakes. may he a great deal more than the kickers themselves are doing. Did that ever occur to you? We are all neighbors in this town. What helps one helps the others. What hurts one hurts others. Every community is a mutual benefit asso ciation, whether organized or just run ning wild. The printer is a charter member. If you had no printer-no news paper-how would you like that? Do you know what happens to towns that don't support a newspaper? Nothing happens. Candidate and Law. The late Albert Pell, a conservative member of parliament, who devoted his .life to the betterment of agricul ture, the prevention of cattle disease and the administration of the poor law, was a man of ready wit. It is stated in a recently published volume of reminiscences of Mr. Pell that during an election he was asked if he was not the member who had made the law which commanded poor men to support their parents. "No," he rapped out; "that is an older law. It was written by God Al mighty on two tables of stone and brought down by Moses from Mount Sinai; and as far as I can make out, Thomas, it is the stone and not the law that has got into your heart. " Youth's Companion. A CARD. To the Democratic Voters of New berry County: I desire to thank the people of Newberry county for the kindness they have shown me in my canvass, and for the handsome vote they gave me on the 25th of August, which puts me in the second race.
