The bulines offive adi rhe edito xial rooms of The Herald and Nevs ihave been moved up stairs in the same building. T.he entrance is by the steps in Caldwell street. We will be glad to see our friends as of yore. Senator Tillman must be very much improved in health. We see that in a speech which he made over in Ches ter the other day he pitched into the newspapers after the style of his old self. The country newspapers don't all sneeze when the big dailies take knuff. And neither do they all sneeze when Senator Tillman takes snuff. Speaking of Clemson college we are no enemy to Clemson and recognize the good work it is doing and neither have we said that the life trustees were not as good and as efficient as the elective, but we do say that -Clem son ought either to be a State institu tion and owned and controlled by the ,State or it ought not to be. We say further that either a life trustee or an elective trustee who holds the position and also holds another position either under the United States or under this i States is doing so in plain violation cf the constitution of this State which he has sworn to uphold and defend. Some of the elective trustees recognize this an3 to get around it decline to re eeive a. commission as trustees from the State. The vote in the election on Tuesday was very light but in most of the counties it was very decisive against the legal sale of whiskey. In some sections of the county some good work is being done on the pub .lie roads. If it is kept up we can .have some good dirt roads, In fact if all the overseers will just put full six days' work on the roads and do the .work intelligently and not just put in the days, ami the supervisor will keep. the chain gang at inlligenit work weI can soon have all the roads in very oconditon. Why not do it andI .how these bond advocates that we can build roads without bonds. Make the roads wider where they need to be1 made wider and round them up in the nentre and give them good drainage on the sides so that the first heavy 'iain tia comes along wili riot wash1 them up in great gullies. -We believe that more progress has been made in intelligent farming in this county in the last five years than was made in twtnty five years before. Most of our farmers are studying their business and going at it in a more intelligent way than ever before. It is a good omen. It means that those who do it are going to see that the farm can be made the best busi ness in this country and the life of the farmer can be made the happiest and most independent. They realize that it is possible to make twice as muc.h on the same land as they have been making and with even less la bor. They are also realizing that it is important to diversify their crops if they are to succeed and that the all .cotton crop is suicidal. The work that the Federal government has been doing thirough the agricultural dle partment has been of vast and far reaching influence in stimulating an interest in the farm and in farm life. We have received several communi cations recently which we would be glad to print but cannot do 5o be e:ause thaey are not accomnpanied by flie name of the writer. We do not de sire to pirint the name and will hold it in contidence if desired but we must know the writer. Send us your name and we will print your article. We agree with Senator Tillmian that :the railroads ought to accep)t mileage without requiring the holder to ex <hange it for a ticket. One of the pu-p-se in purcasing milage is the cOflVCl~lelIsa a il H n~xfl 1 t 1T endeee Wm,(TDIo aam and if t be railroads will not accept the mileage on the train then the legislatuire oILIr to require that they do it. Senator Tillman was evidently out of humor, however, because he did not have time to purchase or ex hiiange nilleage for a ticket at Belton and camne very near beinz left. We do not a-rnev wilh the -nator, however. when be intimates that the legislature of the State is composed of a lot of rascals. But he is dead right about that mileage business. For the information of Dr. Setz ler it might be stated that we under stand tihe good roads machinery to which he r#ers is at the county home and has not been used in several years. In fact as we understand the situation tihe county has never paid for it. NEWS OF SILVER STREET. Personal Mention of Many People, Summer Visitors and Those Go ing Off on Vacations. Silver Street.

Owing to so much rain cotton pick ing will begin a little late this year. The crop is very spotted throughout what sect-ions of thbe county we have seen. Where cotton has been well fertilized and worked except on deep sa-ndy land the prospects are favor able for a good crop. The same applies to corn also. There has been a whole lot of "good roads'' argument presented to the people for the past twd months both for a-nd against the proposed bonded plan.

The voters of tliis vicinity stand now as 2;- - at first fiat-footed against bonds. We haven 't heard of d~ diigle voter being infhi@ieed either way. We don't think &he bonded plan the best.
