E. H. AULL, EDITOR. Entered at the Postoffice at New berry, S. C., as 2nd class matter. Friday, October 9, 190S. We like the way Mr. Chanler, De mocratic candidate for governor of New York, talks. There is a great deal of hysteria about reform and the wrongs of the -dear people and all that sort of stuff and purity talk and the goody good air put on by -candi dates of high and low degree when they are seeking office. It is too often the case that it is done for political purpose and there is many times little sincerity in the utterance. In accepting the nomina tion Mr. Chanler is quoted as saying among other things: 'We have had too much excite ment and hysteria; let us right wrongs and reform abuses calmly and without unnecessary noise. It is not necessary to begin a reformation by creating a panic; reforms intelligent ly instituted should result in a firmer tone in business and in greater publie confidence in existing conditions. "There are many ways of doing the same thing, and in recommending any business investigations the vast army of workers whose employment is their means of livelihood, must be thought of as well as the men at the head." In an indirect allusion to the con troversy over the race track gambling question, Mr. Chanler said: "I am a great believer in not un necessarily interfering with the per " sonal habits, customs and pastimes of the people; I favor all healthful re creations which tend to develop and strengthen the body or to rest the minds of our hard working citizens and I declare that the line of rea sonable and necessary regulation hav ing been reached or even exceeded, the more we endeavor to restrict per sonal liberty the less likely shall we be to promote in any effective, per manent way, the public morals." There is too much effort to regulate the conduct of individuals by legisla tion. You had better keep an eye on the whining statesman who tries to make it appear that he is better than -' other people. We would be glad to see city coun cil start some street paving. We un derstand they are considering the proposition. The sentiment of our .people would .endorse such work on the part of the city council. If we could get the work started there would. be no trouble in having the work extended. Like good roads, writing 'and speaking will not build them. We must start the work and then it will go on. Mr. Nicholas Longworth the hus band of Miss Alice Roosevelt, says that after Taft serves as president for eight years the people will send Mr. Roosevelt back to the white house for eight years. Mr. Longworth has denied ma:king * the remark 'bu't if 'he did make it he says he was joking. We have the High School in Barn well already and by voting for the High School in the coming election will be simply saying to the State that we want more financial help, to be given out of the State High School fund.-Barnwell Sentinel. What is said here is true in about nine of ten high schools established under the act. It is ''simply saying to the State that we want more fin aincial help'' from the appropriation by the State. ''We can run our own high school but you have appropriat ed $50,000 and we want a part'', and the seh'ool that really need assistance never get it. The rules and regula tions are so made that these schools can't get aid. The tendency at present in our edu cational system in this State is to build up the higher institutions of learning and give the towns and ci ties State aid for the establishment of high schools. If people who live in the country want to educate their children they must send to the city and the town. We question the wisdom of the gov ernor in appointing a special court in Saluda for the trial of Herrin. It is leaning rather too far toward the mob's wishes and thus cultivating and encouraging the spirit of revenge at the expense of' justice. A proof of our statement was shown in the at tempt at lynching during last week, after a sneelal term of court had bceen ordered by the governor. Batesharg Advocate. It is only a short time any way1 until the regular term of the court will be held. ed at the regular term just as surely and certainly as at the special term. lIere is no _or,d judgmieni1t in order ing a special term (f court in the-z vic'umstances but if the pepile want it let them have it. The ladies of the eiri' as-oeiatin11 of Anderson are ;Cilw to have a ha; aar this fall to raise money for car rying on their work. This is an ac tive organization in the city of An derson and is dinmuch ,In heauti fying the city. We think it was a lady from An derson 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. We suggest that she be invited to come to Newberry again. We need a good old time camp meeting revival. The civic association needs an awakening. Bette'r still, the hone owners and honekeepers and proper ty owners .and property keepers all need stirring up to the importance of better kept streets and sidewalks and more attractive- premises generally. There is scarcely a pretty and neat ly kept lawn in the entire city. And for the streets and sidewalks--but we have paved sidewalks and are go ing to have paved streets. County Supervisor Wicker should do something for the Enoree bridge, at Whitmire. If it is impossible to get there with the chain gang he I should give the contract to some one to do the work. This is an import ant trade centre and there is a large section of our county tributary to this point that should have attention the same as other sections. The May binton people cross this bridge in going to Whitmire, though it is a line bridge between Union and New berry. From Maybinton the best road and most direct route is to cross the river at Whitmire. This point, too, is their natural trade centre. As far as possible we should treat all sections of the county the same. The county has no money but no ioubt the newly selected senator and members of the house would agree to provide by necessary legislation the means to pay for these needed r~epairs. It was an extraordinary oc 3asion whichi took away the bridges. I'hey miust be replaced and the soon ~r it can be done the better. Crosses of Honor. The crosses of honor applied for :o be bestowed June 3rd. 1908, failed' o0 come in view of the fact that the ;upply in the hands of the custodian 1ad been erbausted.
