Sill'- mi jpmrj E. II. AULL, EDITOR. Entered at the I'ost office at Newberry, S. C., as 2nd class matter. 1'Yiday, (> 'il, l'HIS. W'e like I lit* way Mr. (Jhanler, Democratic f ; 111 < I'm I; 11 < I'm- yovernor c? I" Ki'\v \ ork, talks. There is a ureal deal ol hysteria about reform and the "wronys of the dear people and all that sort of slulV and parity talk and tlie goody yood air put on by candidates til" liiyh and low degree when they are seeking office. It is tun often the ease that it is done fur politieal purpose unci there is many limes little sincerity in the ''iterance. In accepting the nomination Mr. ("hauler i- <jii?>I< <I a.- saving um<>ny <>i her i hinys; \\ e have had too nnieh excite- j incut and hysteria; let us right "wrongs and reform abuses calmly and | "witlimit unnecessary noise. It is not i necessary to begin a reformation 1?y I frealiny a panic; reforms intelligently instituted should result in a rirtuer j tone in hu-incss and in greater public | conI'idcncc in existing conditions. I There are many ways of doing (lie I same thing, and in rccommcndiuy any business investigations the vast army ol workers whose employment is their! means of livelihood, must be thought ol as well as the men at the head." In an indirect allusion to the controversy over the race track gambling (juestion, Mr. ('harder said: "1 am ;i ureal believer in not unnecessarily interfering with the personal habits, customs and pastimes of the people; I favor all healthful recreations which tend to develop and strengthen the body or to rest the minds ol our hard working citizens and I declare that the line of reasonable and necessary regulation having been reached or even exceeded, the more we endeavor to restrict personal liberty the less likely shall we be lo promote in any effective, per- , manent way, the public morals." I here is 11io much ellort to rcyulale i the conduct of individuals by lcyisla- | lion. \ on had better .keep an eye on , the whiuiny statesman who tries to make il appear that he is belter than oilier people. We Would be 11 I ? see cilv couu< '1 start ^otne si ree| paviuy. W'e nil- j der.-laud I he\ are eou-iderimi the!, proposition. I he sentiment of ourjj I pic would endorse such work on I the part of the city council. 'l II we could ire I the work started i there Would he no trouble in haviny the work extended. Like good roads, wriliny and speaking will not build , I hem. We must start the work and j I lien it will go on. Mr. Nicholas Iioiiirworth the husband ol Miss Alice Roosevelt, says that alter fall serves as president tor ciylil years the people will send jM r. Woosevelt back to the white house for eight years. Mr. I>onyworth has denied making the remark but if lie did make it he says he was jokiny. We have I Ik* High School m Ttarnwell already and bv voting for (lie High School in the cominy election will be simply sayiny to the State that we wain more financial help, lo be uiveil out of the Stale High School I ulit 1. I 'aI'll welI Sent iliel. What is said here is true ill about nine of ten high schools established under the act. 11 is "simply sayiny to the State that we want more financial help I roin the appropriation by i he State. "W'e can run our own high school but you have appropriated .+.">0.000 and we want a part", and the school that really need assistance never ye| it. I he rules ami regulations are so made thai these schools can't yet aid. I he tendency at present in our educational system in this Slate is |o build up the higher institutions of learniuy ami yive ihe towns and cities State aid tor the establishment ol liiyh schools. | (' people who live in the country want to educate their children lliey must send to the cilv and the town. W'e question the wisdom of the governor in appointing a special court in Saluda for the trial of llerrin. It is leaning rather too far toward the mob s wishes and thus cullivatiny and encouraging Ihe spirit of revenye at the expense of justice. A proof of our statement was shown in the attempt at lynching during last week, i alter a special term of court had been ordered by the governor.? Ibilcshury Advocate. It is only a short time any way' until the regular term of the court will be held. I Justice could have been administer- ' . ... , '< <! at I ho regular term just as surely iihI cert a i nly as at the special term. I'ln-re is no good judgment in ordering a special term of court in these! <*ircuuistiiuccs but il tin1 people want it let them have it. 1 he lailics of the civic association of Anderson are going to have a bazaar this fall to raise money lor carrying on their work. This is an unlive organization in the city of Anderson and is doing much in beautifying the city. We think it was a ladv from Anderson who came to Newberry about the time the fever was hot and the civic association in Newberry was alive and delivered a lecture before the ladies. W'e suggest that she be invited to come If. Newberry nam in. We need a '.rood old lime camp meeting revival. I he civic association needs an I awakening. HcMey still, the home' ow ners and homckccpers and proper- ! ly owners and properly keepers all need stirring up to the importance of I belter kept streets ;lnd sidewalks and ' more attractive-premises generally. There is scarcely a pretty and neat- ' ly kept lawn in the entire city. And 1 for the streets and sidewalks-but 1 we have paved sidewalks and are go- j ing to have paved streets. County Supervisor Wicker should 1 do something for the Enoree bridge, at Whitmire. If it is impossible to I get there with I lie chain gang ho' should give the contract to some one to do (he work. This is an important trade centre and there is a large section ,,f rmr county tributary to this point that should have attention the same as other sections. The Mayhinton people cross this bridge in going t.i Whitmire. though it is I line bridge between Union and Newberry. From Maybinton the best road and most direct route is to cross river at Whitmire. This point. !"<?. is I heir natural trade centre. 1 As far as possible we should treat I ill sections ot the county the same. I I lie county lias no money but no j loubi the newly selected senator and' members of the house would agree l?> provide by necessary legislation' In* means |o pay for these needed' epairs. || was an extraordinary ??o- f asion which took away the bridges.
