E. H. AULL, EDITOR. Entered at the Postoffice at New berry, S. C., as 2nd class matter. Tuesday. September 22. 1908. Gov. Ansel has ordered a specia: term of the court of general sessioi of Saluda county for the trial of Wil liam Herrin, the negro who is cliarg ed with the murder of Emanuel Car ver. Gen. M. L. Bonham, who was elect ed presidential elector of the Third District, has resigned as a notary public. He desires to be on the safe side and to avoid all suspicion of the violation of the constitution by holding more than one office at the same time. Judge R. W. Memminger who is holding court in Newberry got through with more civil cases last week than have been disposed of in any civil court in Newberry in a long time. He is one of the best judges on the circuit bench in this State. Even tempered, learned in the law and will ing to work without waste of time, the business of the court is dispatch ed with satisfaction to the officers, lawyers, litigants and jurors. \ Senator-elect E. D. Smith in a speech to the farmers at Spartanburg on Saturday said he would, if it could be done, have the government report the ctton in the warehouses so that the farmers could know. The govern ment has paid agents in each county to report the cotton that is ginned and Lie condition of the crops so that the speculator may know just what the fa,rmer has but the infor mation to the farmer as to the amount of cotton in warehouses and in the hands of the manufacturers is never given. It keeps the farmer in ignorance. Mr. Smith is right. It is the contention we have made for some time. President Harris of the Farmers Union issues an address to the cotton producers which is printed in this is sue of The Herald and News. He urges wherever it is possible that the cotton grower hold his cotton for 'a higher price. He states that the has -been in a number,%of the cotton pro ducing States and that the crop is short. Not only is this crop short but the crop of 1907 wa.s short. He urges all business interests in the South. to cooperate 'with the cotton farmer and help him tt make t,he present yield a profit above the cost of production. Of course, this will help all lines, of business because it will bring more money to the South. Mr. Harris, however, in closing his address suggests a fact which we have preached for many years, and only by the observance of this fact can a Southern cotton producer be come independent and demand and command a profitable price for his cotton. It is now time for tshe farmer to begin to get ready to put himself in this position and we hope that every farmer in. Newberry county will take note of what Mr. Harris says. Every farmer knows this already. Here it is:' "How is the grower of cotton to become able to maintain a profitable price? First, he must diversify his crops, and now is- the time to begin for another year. Sow oats, wheat. crimson clover. vetch, rye a,nd barley. You will need it next spring to feed your stock. Instead of buying, raise your horses, mules, cows, hogs and corn.. "Quit buying hay to kill grass, to raise cotton, to buy more hay with. Make home self-supporting and self sustaining, and prosperity is yours.'' The Body Sellers. Mayor Speer of Denver was talking the other day about a pair of political 'trieksters. " They gave themselves away,'' he said. "Don't tricksters always give themselves away? It reminds me of the two men who wanted to sell their corpese for dissection.. "These two men, miseerably clad, called on' the dean of a medical col lege in New York. " 'We are both on the verge of star vation, sir,' the spokesman said. 'We are well o~n in years, and it is clear that we haven't much longer to live. Would you caire to purchase our bodies for your dissecting room?' "The dean hesitated. " 'It is an odd proposition,' he mut tered. "' 'But it is occasionally done,' said the spokesmran in an eager voice. " WelL' said the dean. 'we might arrange it. What price do you ask ?' ''Over in Philadelphia.' said the spokesman, 'they gave us $40.' Washington Star. Grace From the Graceless.

"In Switzerland this summer," said a Philadelphian, "I heard Charlemagne Tpwer describe the stringent police regulations of Berlin. "Mr. Tower, by way of illustra tion, concluded with a little story. "Schmidt and Krauss met one morning in the park. " 'Have you heard,' says Schmidt, 'the sad news abtu Muller?' 'No,' says Krauss. 'What is it ?' 'Well, poor Muller went boat ing on the river yesterday. The boat capsized and he was drowned. The water was ten feet deep.' "'But couldn't he swim?' "'Swim?

P' Augustus Marmaduke Uppisehe had by inadvertence been elected a- mem ber of the local club, but sowehow he did not seem. to "catch on," as it B were, with his fellow members. In many ways they strove to make - him understand his unpopularity, and one evening he rushed furiously up to a member of the committee. "Look here!'" he said. "I've been insulted in this club! A man offered. me a hundred pounds if I'd esign F. my membership. I must do something What would you advise me to do?'" The committeeman considered a wvhile before replying. "I'd advise you to hang on for a day or two longer. You'll get a better S price then.''-Pearson's Weekly. 3'50rGood envelopes for 25c. 6 quires good note paper 20c. this week only. Anderson 10c. Co.

Agent children, is a sufficient appeal to every heart. Some years ago it was suggested by Rev. Howard Crumley of Atlanta, Ga., that on the first Saturday and Sabbath of October, all those who love children set apart those days for gathering funds to relieve the needs or the fatherless. On that Saturday, let everybody old and young, rich and poor, devote the day to the Orphan ages, each man sending his gift to the Orphanage he loves the best or that lies nearest his heart. The Georgia scheme worked well. For several years an effort has been made to rouse an equal interest in South Car olina, and Alabama and Florida have also .taken it up. In every commun ity some zealous brother might take up the matter and push it and the day 's work from everybody would go to the orphans. This proposition is not~ in the interest of any one orph anage; it is intended for each one to give to the orphanage nearest his heart. Give Saturday 's wages to the orphans. Gather the proceeds on the Sabbath and forward to the institu tions above named. It will be sure to reach the right spot, if dratfs and checks are made out to the name of the institution itself and provisions shipped to the same. We have no doubt that when an individual c-om munity makes special request of the railway aut-horities, flour and rice and molasses or any other products would find them willing to delvier without charge. Notice that this is simply a state ment. Urgent appeals are not nec esmary. The orphans need help. The institutions are unable to give it, without the backing of the people. At this season all their treasuries are creatly depleted. Do not over-look the day. Mrs. Alice Robertson, TEACHER OF Yoice, Piano andl Harmnony. Studio Over Mower's Store.
