UP STAIRS.
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.

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. We s;hould all hold our
temper and have due regard for each

which come before the people to set

tliis vicinity stand now as 2;- -

haven 't heard of d~ diigle voter being
infhi@ieed either way. We don't think
&he bonded plan the best.
