E. H. AULL, EDITOR. Entered at the Postoffice at New ierry, S. C., as 2nd class matter. Friday, January 22, 1909. The rural police idea is a good one and the law should be passed by our legislature but sometimes it is hard to make the majority see the good bills. Everybody who is not interested in the sale of a lot and some of those who .are say that the corner or the half of the Methodist church lot is the most desirable location for the new post office building but that it is too narrow. With the church on one side and streets on three sides and being about- a hundred feet long er than is necessary the government might be induced to e- eetghahnEE might be induced to ehange the plans to suit the lot if the wishes of a ma jority of the people were made known It will be too late after the site has been selected. The civic association should get up some plan to raise some money. It will need some money at its disposal in order to start some of the reforms needed in this town. The association ought to a certain extent be finan cially independent and then its re quests and suggestions would carry more weight. But the officers and workers must not be discouraged. That wagon yard must be secured and if the association must rent one and submit it to council, this will take some money. To the Honorable. the Senate and House of Representatives.-Gentie men: I have the honor to inform your honorable bodies that Mr. B. F. Thomas has resigned the office of di rector of the State penitentiary, and the same has been accepted by me as of this date. His term will expire ix January, 1910, and his successor will have to be elected by you. Respedtfully, M. F. Ansel, Governor. The State newspaper might ask the governor by what right he holds on to the office of governor while he "accepts the office of director of the State penitentiary.'' The Farmers' union in session in Columbia last week made some good resolutions. The thing now, of im portance is for the members to live up to the resolutions. One is to plant only 12 acres of cotton to the plow and raise more of the things * needed on the farm. The Herald and News has received a communication signed "Violet and * Pansy,"' which we will be pleased to publish if we are furnished with the names of the correspondents-not for publication, but as a guarantee of good faith. This is a rule of the of fice which we can not transgress. We notice that the C., C. & 0. rail road authorities are making a survey -on the- Newberry and Lexington side of Broad river. *It would open up a very rich see tion 'o Newberry and Lexingtorn counties if the road were built on * this side of the river, and it seems to us if the line is located some dis tance from the river that it would strike a ridge country through both * counties. We do not know what the commit tee from our chamber of commerce is doing or has done towards having the road e6me via Newberry. -We hope that the committee from the chamber of commerce is awake to the importance of doing everything that is possible to secure this road for Newberry, because it is probably the last opportunity Newberry will have to secure a through line. The bill introduced in the legrisIa ture to provide for a county attorney has been killed by the senate. If it had contained a. provision to let the county attorney take the plae of the solicitor it would liarv? been a very wise measure, but if tile bill had passed as introduced and the county attorney had performed the duties re quired by the bill there would have been very little left for the solicitor to do. Do not forgtet to arrange youri sub scription as The Herald and New'. is going to adopt a cash in advance po nter. We hope that we will niot be fmee~d to take from oi ur list an ii make excepiions, and we therefore urge you to arrange your subscrip tion at once. iOVES TO THIS COUNTY.
