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.

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

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. "

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.
And now I leave myself in the hands
of the people and if they see fit to
elect me one of their commissioners, I
will serve them to the best of my
ability, and I will thank them for
whatever they may do for me in th(
second primary election.
