E. H. AULL, EDITOR. V ,ntered at the Postoffice at New :t-ry, S. C.. as 2nd class matter. Friday, October 15, 1909. In calling attention to the consti tational provision as to the registra t'on of voters The Herald and News did not have reference to the statute. On that point Dr. Cromer's opinion is safe. But a statute cannot change the constitution. The constitution says the registration books for the State shall close thirty days before an election. Tihis election is ordered to take place less than thirty days from the time the books were open. This election comes on Tuesday, No -vember 2, one day after the day for lening county and state books of registration. That will close the books on the first Monday in Novem ber and to vote in the city primary a' town registration is necessary and to secure it you must have a state reg istration ticket. If, however, all the requirements of the statute are complied with it will be alright. It is important to jhave the sewerage and our only purpose is to ,be sure we are right so as not to have another hold up on a technical ity. The board of health ough'. to go out O'Neall street as far as Scott's creek after dark and get a whiff from the septic tank. In fact, all the voters ought to do this and then there would be no vote against the propo sition to extend the sewerage system. We do not understand how ,the peo ple who live out this street have stood this as long as they -have. We believe the farmers ought to sell their cotton so long as prices re * main above twelve cents just as fast as they can' market it. Whben it gets below that price, if it should, then *they should not sell a bale. The spinners are organized for curtail ment in production. They mean to bear the market. Why cannot the farmers organize. Everybody else has. A correspondent of tihe News and Courier from Walhalla says the new schedule lengthens the time between Grenville and Charleston two hours and a half. That may be true if you take the early train, but you have the time in Columbia. But who would take a :rain to Charleston that took a whole day wben you could! -get one that Ieft Greenville late ii the afternoon with a sleeper all th-e way to Charleston putting you there for breakfast next morning? That is the train for people from the up country to Charleston. If they want a day train there is the Coast Line which leaves Greenville at noon and renen'es Charleston at night. Under the old schedule it took all de' to make the trip from Greenville to Charleston. The new arrangement of schedule is alright and we hope it will go into effect next Sunday. The price of cotton holds up re w rkably well and there is no rea son for a decline. The Anderson Mail says there is cc 'M1in -the cotton market at Anderson -below other places as :d n. Tell. the formers to -end '' cotton to Norberrv. WYe 'ave I no eomnplaint -f the N *e et this veilr. W'e have o '0 (' no.:t. how eve". that ti mil eommunites was -l, - t xv>n 's where there *were no m 11 . Why, we do not know. Commander Peary is wasting a lot of energy in trying to prove that Dr. Cook did no: reach the North Pole. He would, ereate more confidence in his own claims if he devoted his en ergy to the proof that he reached the North Pole. The News and Courier sav- tha: 'Cc:n iande r Pea ry pronoeu nceshi name as the pear i the word appear be the best authority on the pro nunciation of his own name. The editVr of Tihe Herald and News acknowledges wit'h pleasure an invitation .to be present as the guest of the city of Spartanburg at the barbecue to be given in connee tioi with the celebration of the com pletion of the Carolina, Clinelfield and Ohio Railroad to that City, Oe tober 29. It will be a great day for Spartanburg. * THE IDLER. * * * * **** * ** *** * * I do not go around the union sta tion in Newberrv very mueh because I have reached that stage in life now when I do not like to go into crowds and I have always understood that Newberrv was famous for the crowds who go to the depot to see the trains, but I happened over there a few nights ago and I want to say that in my judgment there should be more light around the station. We now have night trains and tihere should be enough light to let. people see which way to go. Then it would be a pro tection against accidents and besides would be a good advertisement for the .city. There ought to be an are light somewhere in Friend street. Maybe there is one there but if there is it was certainly not lighted the night I was around there and this was in the early evening, too. I read the following, somewhere not long ago and it contains a great truth which I believe sometimes might be applied to our own com.. munity: "The man who grows up in his native town is regarded as a boy by his elders until he is well started down the declivity of life that ends ia a hole. The stranger who comes into a place is more often pushed to the front than the young man who has grown up with the, town. This is the reason why so many young men become fdissatisfied with home surroundings and long to cast their ot in other quarters.' 'Many of our young men have left own since I have . lived here, even, and have gone elsewhere and achieved success. S 'me of them might have one well hLre, but it is too often he case that we do not give that en ouragement to our own young men hat we should. We oughbt to wel ome the stranger but we ought also o be fair and just to our own. -o -'It was some wvise man who said a an is not without honor save in his wn .country. Or was it the prophet who was not without honor save in is own country. Well, it was some hing like tihat. Anyhow, let us en ourage our young men to stay with s and give them every opportunity o do something and ,be somthing. What I want to see is our young men ticking to the farm instead of com ng to town and standing all day be ind a counter and measuring calico and scarcely getting enough to pay board. There is money in farming in this country with cotton at pres nt prices, and when you can grow orn like Mr. Hipp there is money in growing corn. Anid just think of the independence of the life on the farm. But the'.country life is go ing to be t-he ideal life that thes city dudes will be seeking before long. Farming will soon be classed among the learned professions, for it takes brain work as well as muscle to make a suesessfull farmier. Glreat progress is being made in methods and the farmers are studying their business more than ever before. This is as it should be. If the spinners. don't get the price *of cotton down before the first of November the jig will be up because the farmer w.vl by that time have his ank nl"+o naid and he can be master of :ho +-fion.y" Hie can sit downl on the lid and say this is my cotton and f . v t it ro must pay my prc r it w1ll stav here. The spin ner had .he+ter 'nekie the cloth mar ket this '-ir and bull it if he can't make t et present nrices of 'liton e' r do no' be'ieve' it is go ine vnr l"er ibia season. But if I were Mr. 'Former I would sell it just as fast 'as J eould get it ready for market so long as prices ranged around where they are now. It is so much better than the producer has averaged in so long a time that he will forget the crop is short. And ithen they are paying a pretty good prie for cotton seed, too. -0 I read the. following somewhere not 'ng :1a .':'d as it agrees so fully with mev ;'Ths ;l0fn the same lines 'I \Vnt to no er it: "In a very interesting article inl he Newr n'rk Eveniing Journal Dr. A BAS-PRA Scene in "Human Hearts" Oct< s,titulion of constructive methods for -Thle priesent efforts, to combat the evils of intemperance by means, of prohibi tion. He points out that telling a man or a boy what to do may do him. good and build him up in the way of' :rgt ivn,but telling him what V el i~ n i -o't to do will irritate him, and per haps make him all the more desirous to do what he has been forbidden. He calls to mind that flies that walk on two legs, as well as those that go onl half-a-dozen, are more easily caught by molasses than by vinegar, and that the old Jewish policy of prohibition expressed in "thou shalt nots'' was not a success."' --- Ihave always thought the prohi tionists went at the thing in the wrongo way. But. the craze is here and I expect to see State wide pro hibition enacted in South Carolina. I a no going to undertake to argue the question. So far as I am person ally concerned it makes very little difference to me what they do. -o H1 read the following truism on alk a'dvertisegnenent the othoseer day: "I am an old man and have had many troubles, most of which never happened.'' I have had the same experience but I am not going to have any more troubles until I do have them.

Separate waists of moire silk, matching in color the tailored skirts with wihich they are worn, are among the new things being shown in some of the leading stores. These waists are severely tailored, having no trim ming other than the buttons of cut jet which seem to be worn on nearly every type of garment. As a mattef of fact they require none, for the material is in itself so handsome and showy that decoration would be su perfluous.-The New Idea Woman's Magazine for November. ANNOUNOEMENTS.
