?iul ?iiftw 9 K. H. AUIX, EDITOR. Entered at the PostofTice at New- B berry, S. C., as 2nd class matter. I Tuesday, November 17, 1908. H The Killing of Mr. K. V. ?';;i mack s was ;i most deplorable ;iIT:!ir. I ic was a brilliant man and in I lie prims of young manhood. That being !rue Ins tragic taking oil' is ;ill (ho more <!??plorable. 11 should not lie forgotten, however. in deploring (In* street die: thai Mr. Carmack was also armed with a deadly pistol and thai lie Iried to kill his antagonist. The tendency with some editors is too much towards the ah'ise of me i whom they oppose. The liberty ol H the pies-, which should always In- Iheld inviolate should not lie abused. I* as it ton often iIn the lie,-it of <|c- ? hate and of p<>Iiti<*;iI campaigns we gj| too ?if| 11 see men :it I ncked unjust l\ || and wrongly in tlie ell'ort to mmpliss if their defeat. W'e do not know that I| 'hi- was the ease in I i>ie?'?e. but I the press voniel imes, it seems to ns, j |j| miscoiisi rues liberty I ? mean license. I he l\ |), ('. convention recentl\ J hehl in Allan!a passed a resolution;? making wives of Southern men eligi- I Me to membership though the wives I may be daughters of Federal soldiers. R I his action destroys the organization. IMo thought the badge lu.'cpssarv to H membership in the V. I). ('. was that B some ancestor was a legitimate and I real soldier in the Confederacy oi S h >d seen service in 'lie cause of (he I Confederacy. By this action mem- I hers may lie made and daughters ' J' treated by a written residntion. That, I however, does not make them daugli- J. ters III | he Confederacy, except in i| We publish in full tin' remarks of ! S Judge Sehumpert at Spartanburg in i l| regard to the militia. We think Iudge|jl Sehumpert did the proper thing. 11 ' SI was no ret led ion on the militia. Thev I were simply doing their duty but to ~~ I'Ut it up to the people of the countv their patriotism?to maintain the good order and dignity of the eo.,rt- - V"' they could not do otherwise a i It would seem from the report of sales in the county dispensaries for October i'haf the practice- of prohibi- " tion is not growing in South Carolina. One half the counties are selling more 11 whiskey than the whole Stale sold under the old State dispensary. " is unfortunate that there n should be a fever scare at Winthrop * college. The wise thing for the hoard ol to have done when the fever broke out would have been to (dose the A school until the first of January and d it necessary extended the session next w * spring n few weeks longer. This n' would have given opportunity to in- d vestiyate thoroughly all probable or 's possible causes of infection. al About half the "-ills have g<vne <> home and chose that are left at the college had as well be home for the ' good they are doing in their studies. "I It is impossible to gel work out of P1 pupils that wall be al all satisfactory <1 under conditions at Winthrop. y; e are glad. however, to note that ' no new eases are reported ami that w none have terminated fatallv. n> The commit lee appointed to look 's into sehool conditions in Xewberr\ and submit report has done its work. I he report is published. Two plans m are submitted. Kither one can be car- ftn .vied out without an increase of taxes. ('' von if taxes have to be increased m something should be done. he I'he report is concise and giws full information as to present condiI ions. I'lie plan lo erect two buildings in different parts of the city?one foi high school and one for lower grades V seems to be the favorite with tin- ^ commit I lee. I( would be better to have the high school department in a sep- V orate bui Idling. * ' I he present facilities as pointed out lV by the commillee were only adeouafc ^ ' nearly twenty years ago ami in that Lt lime the city has more than doubled in population ami we have neglected 'v our schools. This should not be per- S(l mitted longer lo be the case. K' Our whole system needs reorgani/,ing. I here should be a principal with a living salary and the salary ol S!l the superintendent should be increas- Tl ed to $ir,00 and the teachers should ,if have not less than $.")() >{;(i0 p(M month and then we should have and W could command ellicienl and trained Hi teachers who should he elected on I Ti their merits and for no other reason.
