E. H. AULL, EDITOR. Entered at the Postoffice at New berr, S. C., as 2nd class matter. Tuesday. July 13, 1900. In Spartanburg county where they thave a good roads campaign o-n a eom mittee to look after the campaign has been appointed from each township. * It is propos ed to vote an issue of $400,000 in bonds for permanent road :work in that county. The bill under which the election is being held is :very similar to the one for this county .except that it provides for only three commissioners to handle the money and have charge of the work. Col. W. G. Smith, of Orangeburg, -who is a mill president and 'vho was with the party of mill presidents who :went over the Clinehfield railroad and over the coal fields of the company sometime ago, in speaking of the bu-ilding of the road beyond Spartan iburg, stated that he was assured that the road would be built to Charleston. He said: "The Toute will be from Spatanburg to Columbia, and from that point to Charleston." We be lieve that Col. Smith is correct an'd we believe further that this work will be commenced as soon as the work is completed to Spartanburg and if: a new road is built via Newberry is the best and cheapest, and about as near as can be selected. We ought to get busy and keep busy and in touch with tihe builders of this road. So far as The Herald and News is concerned it is glad Mr. R. I. Man ning has accepted the life trusteeship of Clemson college. He is one of the best men in South Carolina. He'will be an addition to the governing board of the institution. The little matter of violating the State constitution by Senator Tillman and others on the board by holding other .offices does :not make any great amount of differ enee, of course, and maybe, Mr1 Maw nling will see no objection to a viola tion of the plain letter of the con stitution. And maybe that Mr. Man nling will not run for governor. We did not think that two life m'embers of the hoard would enter the race for the same office. But maybe they will. In any event we -will be satisfied. It makes no difference to us. And yet you should remember that Mr. Man nling is not yet governor and not even a candidate. From all that we can gathber the sent-iment against a bond issue for the building of roads in this county is very strong and the proposition will be defeated by a very large vote un less sentiment changes very material ly before the election. We do not be lieve that it can be changed. We be lieve in the issue of bonds as the best and most equitable way in which to bu-ild roads and have so held for a great many years. We have not changed our opinion in t.be least, and it is no new positioni, but in the pres ent state of the sentiment on this question in this county, we do not see what can be done to change it in so short a time. Therefore, if there were any way by which the election could be postponed, we would. say that it were better to postpone it, and save the expense. The people of this coun ty do not want any better roads t.han? what they have at this time. They ar,e afraid some other fellow will get a little more benefit than they will -anid, therefore, they are willing to wait for thirty negroes on -the chain gang to work twelve hundred miles o1f road without any improved ma chinery, and with pick and shovel, and if ~a citizen sees a hole in the road that he could repair in five or ten min utes he will not do it, but send for thea chain gang and the supervisor hurries the gang to the scene of the hole. No, the people don't want any roads, so we believe the best thing is to call off the election for the present. Bristol, Va.. by a small majority refused to go' for prohibit ion and there is a great rush of liquor men to the place to seeure license for thle sae of whiskey. dlent tiVeS !1110111 1',ezl sius for resigning too amch interfer ence on the part of the board of trus tees with the duties of the president and a refusal by the board to consult the president on the selection of mem bers of the faculty. That is one of the things which Capt. Minus said when he was talking to the people of the State about the management, ex cept, as we recall it, he said that the trouble was the dominance of the one man power in the board. Tihe college has had only about six presidents in about fifteen years. An institution cannot do its best work when chang ing presidents that often. We would like to suggest to the board that we believe Senator Till man would make a good president for the institution. He has the ability and it was due largely to the agita tion which he began that the college was bu.ilt and he has therefore a per sonal interest in the suecess of the college. It would not interfere in the least with any other duties he is now performing. THE PRESS ASSOCIATION. The annual meeting of the Press Asociation which was held in Green ville last week was one of the largest gatherings of the editors that has been held in several years. It was also one of the most pleasant meet ings. The papers read by the editors were all good and the -specially invited speakers made fine speeches. , The people of Grenville did every thing they could to make the meeting a success. The new Ottaray hotel under the management of Miss Quinn, who knows how, is one of the best ap pointed hotels anywhere in this sec tion. The furnishing is all that could be expected an'd tihe service excel lent. I Mr. J. R. McGhee, of the Pi6dmont, was the busiest man in th,e city and did all he could to make his brethren of the press have a good time. He vas ably assisted by the reception committee. Especially did Mr. W. L. Gassaway give him good service. Then our friend J. Thomas Arnold was in evidence xendering assistance and M':. Geo. Brunson of the News and in fact every one we saw seemed interested in making the meeting a success. The details of the meeting for The Herald and News will be written by a member of the staff. In the next issue we desire to say something of the visit to Clemson. The institution and the extent of it was a revelation to many of the edi tors who had never been there. It is a great institution and is doing a great 'work for the State and will do a greaterfwork even in the future. The editor of The Herald and News had served the Association for fif2teen years as president and he declined. to permit the use of his name for te c,tlice again. We appreciate the kind frienship.-f the' members, and the many kifthings said of us and our serice, but it is right that 'somne of te other members should have the nenor and the.,lab,ors connected with the office. The service we readered was freely given and it is a pleasure to know that it is appreciated. .Our good friend, Aagust Kohn, of the Ne ws anid 'Courier, was electeld and ~ill make an efficient officer. As we stated in Greenville we desire to r" peat here, we will do everything we can to hielp himn and will cooperate on all occasions to keep up an intertt in the Association and will do what we can to make the Association moie useful than it has been. Mr. Kuhn has been long a member and wasal ways faithful in service and atten dance and we feel that everythi:ng will move smoothly under his wise leader ship. The next meeting will be held at Glenn Springs and this p)opular re sort ought to attract even a large: at tedance than we had at Green:.iie~. Ad then the proposedl trip overi :he 'linchIfield railroad will be an addii BERGELL TRIBE FLOURISHING. New Officers Installed-District Meet ing to be Held Here On Fri day.

'Did anybody ever see a one armed womaa?'' asked. a gray-head - ed man as he surveyed t-he after noon paradie. "I never did. Almost every day I meet one-armed men,. but I have yet to encounter a wo man with that pitifully empty sleeve. Are there no women who have suf fered tihat mutilation? If not, why not? And, if so, where are they? "Yesterday I heard it argued that there was no cause for a woman to lose an arm; that women do not go to the wars and are not engaged in occupations that are likely to carry away a part of their body. But that reasoning is not sound. Many women work in mills and factories and are as liable to accidents in the streets and public conveyances as men. Fre quently they figure in these acci dents, but, although men in the same situation would lose an arm, women never do. "What is tihe cause of their im munity?'' A Good Wheat Year. Yorkville Enquirer. Mr. Bonner McGill, of Bethany, remarked in Yorkville, Wednesday, that -the coming of the threshers in his neighborhood, has proved this year 's wheat crop to be one of t,he best that has been known for years. The average yield is something like from 15 to 20 bushels of wheat to each bushel sown. 'dr. William Mc carter, near. Henry 's Knob, sowed two bushels, and harvested 34 bush els, and Kirt Foster sowed two bush els and got 28 bushels. Mr. L. B. McGill sowedl four and one-hailf bushels a.nd got 82 bushels. Mr. W. M. McCarter .has made 200 bush els. There was more wheat sowed in the neighborhood than usual, but there is very great regret that t.he aggregat e aereage was not much la rge r. Quite Different. "Maria," Vaid Mr. Rawlins. lay ing aside his eyercoat and hrat and rubbing his hands gleefully together, "you know that for years we have been wanting to buy a building lot in Kennedy 's subdivision, but could not afford to do it on account of Ithe high prices they ask for land out there. Well I 've just learned that Q unian. who owns one of tihe best lots in that entire neighborhood, will sell it fo r half wxKuat it co st himu. if he enn a et thi erash.

"W prices at the sa happy and pleas Don't: Save i Cope Your Money's Joshua,'' said Mrs. Rawlins. ''You don't think I ought to buy ti Why not?'' ''It would be taking advantage of his necessities." ''But, Maria'' ''Besides, I have just learned of a splendid opportunity to buy some furniture that we need. Grigson & Mullins are advertising parlor sets at one-third less than cost because they are overstocked and can't af ford to carry them through the sea son. I 'd like to buy about $200 worth of parlor furniture. We'll never have as good a eihance again.'' Being a man of excellent self-con trol, Mr. Rawlins merely smiled. Youth 's Companion.
