E. H. AULL, EDITOR. Entered at the Postoffice at New berry, S. C., as 2nd class matter. Friday, December 11. 1908. SIXTEEN PAGES. The Herald and News finds itself obliged to print a 16 page paper to day in order to handle the advertise ments and give the readers the usual amount of reading matter. We devote one page to the message of President Roosevelt, another page is devoted to a Christmas story, and on page number one will be found a beautiful Christmas story written es pecially for The Herald and News by Miss Mae Lucile Smith. In addition to these special features we give the ordinary news of the day regarding the State. county. and lo cal happenings. The advertisements will also be found interesting and one thing especially to be noted is that every merchant has on a great reduc tion sale and Santa Claus has mimer -us headquarters. It should be very easy for those who desire to purchase Christmas goods and who want to find out where Santa Claus lives to do so You can read all of the ninety-six columns in this issue of The Herald and News and find something inter esting in every one of them. THE STREET PAVING. The Southern Paving and Construe tion Company began work on the street paving in Newberry on Mon 4ay morning. They went at it like people who knew what they were about and the work has been pushed very rapidly during the week. Caldwell street from Friend to Main is about ready for the vitrified brick, the foundation having been made. The great pity is that we have not the money in hand to have more of this work done while the equip. ment is here. Th-ere is one strip so to speak that should be included in this cntract. This is from the postoffice o- Cald well street across Friend street. In other words we ;nean~ that t"e paving should start on the South side of Friend street instead of the North side. This would give us a good street from the public square to the 'posoffice bu.ilding. We understand that the city couni cil and the special committee in charge of this work all agree that this should be put down at this time but they hesitate because they feet' they have not the money. This will necessitate the spending about $300 more, and we hope the city council will not let so imporant a portion of the street go unpaved for the pal try sum of $300. It would add very greatly to the appearance of the lit tle portion that is contracted for and the purpose of this work is to give practical demonstration to the peo p1 of the advantages of first class street paving. We are satisfied that the citizen3 of the city would almost unanimously gndorse the expending of this addi 'tional $300 to carry the paved street -up to the postoffice. The indications all point to first; class work on the part of the South, ern Paving and Construction Com pany, and as we have said the gentle-; men in charge of the work seem o know what they are about. BETTER GO SLOW. "It is a bad time to increase pub lic expenses. There are always; schemes on foot to spend the taxes, .and the next legislature will be con fronted with a number of them. One* of the biggest propositions in this line is the scheme for the ~establish mnent of three fitting or preparat6ryv schools for Clemson college-three agricultural high schools, to be locat ed in different sections of the State. A number of prominent men have met and outlined the whole p)lan. The cost, as estimated by them, is to be somewhere about $210,000. Very gQod reasons can be adduced in favor of such schools. It is not difficult to sIhow how they would ac complish good. So it might be said of hundreds of other things that might be done if the State just had an unlimited amount of money. But it hasn't: and the State must do like individuals are compelled to do. One can tildkr.iot a: thtdidadthings that would setbtitrt the .oinfort and happiness of his family-things that would be really helpful to them mf many ways. But if he cannot afford to get these things he has to do with .ou them. So it must be with the State. South Carolina has' debt enough and taxes enough already. She had better go slow awhile.'' The above is from the Newberry A Wr i lik< I knuw wiu ren i 1 ter till orci th m pepl whn II-' n pOrt(lIOlI1I den inainal schoo iils Oto their private ftiids. to pay taxes to build up schools which are intended io drive the denolilinatioial schools 4ut of business! If the friends of school for higher education want them. why should they nio bild and cuip ithem? The fact: are th1ousand1 of 1olhir, are -qIlanldered every vear in the name of higher edneation when the common schools of the country are suffering for adequate support. The whole thing is wrong in principle, and we should not only try to induce some people to go slow, but they should be made to turn around and go the other way.-Greenwood Jour nal. This is very true. It has not been so many moons aco. however. when the Observer opposed indirectly at least the election of members of the legislature who stood and fought for these very things-an economical ad ministration and the ealling of a. halt on big appropriations for higher learning by the State. And favored the election of those on record stand ing for all4hese appropriations. The legislature has recently put itself on record not only of giving all that was asked for established institutions of higher learning but of establishing new institutions of like character. There is no use to oppose these things if you are going to send men to the legislature who favor them and when your taxes have to be paid why you should walk up like a little man and contribute your part with a smile. Agricultural schools are alright but it will take money to build them, And then when they are built they will be put in the towns and cities where there are already good schools. Why not let Clemson establish a number of these schools out of the surplus from her income. The report of the chairman of the board last year showed that nearly $75,000 had been spent in one year in permanent improvements. She will scarcely need permanent improve ments on so large a. scale every year and then the income is increasing. This would be a good way to keep from reporting a surplus. An interesting relic was presented to the Masonic lodge on last Monday night in the shape of a plate taken from the corner ston3 of the court house erected in Newberry in 1823 on the^ site now occupied by the old court house. It is a great pity there were. not some fitting ceremonies in connttion with the present hand some court house. The C.
