E. H. AULL, EDITOR. Entered at the Postoffice at New %rry, S. C.. as 2nd class matter. Friday, October 29, 1909. GO TO THE CIRCUS. The Herald and News has for many years been a strong believer in, and an earnest advocate of, the cireus. Suiting the action to the belief, we print Friday's paper Thursday morn ing, instead of Thursday afternoon, so that every body connected with the office may attend the circus, see the elephant and watch the parade. The Newberry Observer should not be surprised that a steam laundry doesn't pay in Newberry. The New srrians know a good thing when they see it. All their fine linen is sent to the Laurens Steam laundry, the very best in South Carolina. T Laurens Advertiser. But the Newberry laundry is going to open again next Monday and this !time it is going to continue to do business. The Newberry chamber of com meree, at a meeting the other night, -passed resolutions requesting the chambers of commerce and towns along the road from Greenville itc Charleston to join in a request to the Atlantic Coast Line road to put a parlor car on their trains betweeb Greenville and Charleston. This is a long trip and the road has a good travel and should be willing to grant a request of this kind for the accom modation and comfort of its patrons and in fact should put sich a car on without being requested to do so. We desire that the Greenville News shall take note of this. It is the service we were talking about when the othei meeting was held in Greenville which resulted in a change of .schedule on the C and G., or rather the scheduk which is to go into effect on the 7th of November. We believe if the pa trons of the road ask for this service that it will be granted. The Hampton County News has .the following to say of a speecih made by Congressman Lever at Brunson in that county a short time ago when a farmers school was dedicated at that place: "The senatorial .eap would fittingly become Congressman Lever, and he has our consent to try it. on. "Congressman A. F. Lever, of Lex ington, this State, was a prominent figure in Brunson Tuesday at the ral ly, and our people had the honor and pleasure of hearing this distinguishe,i reputable gentleman of fame and ori tory deliver a speech creditable to army eitizenship. Mr. Lever impresei his hearers as a man o-. force an ability; he made a verT .tavorable im prsinamong .the people here, and speech wscommented -upon ,by all and in tones of most- commendable favr.'. favr."Lever has been sayingr some very sensible things about Clemson college also. Clemson has soniewhat departed from the original purpose for which it was designed. There has been a reason for that, however, in 'that the young men who were among the first graduates found remunera tive employment quicker who had taken the agricultural course. For in stance the electrical graduate found good jobs paying more 'than those who had taken agriculture could find. And yet it was not so long ago that Prof. Harper told us he could place at good salaries more men than he had who had taken the agricultural course. U: remains(fac2t that t'he agricultural idea 'has not beena emphasized as it should, but more interest is being saken every year in farm work and the farmer is rapidly realizing that to succeed farming must be ranked among the professions and there must be the trained mind applied to :the farm and there must be preparation and intelligent preparation for this work just as there is for law or med icine or any other learned profession. We are pleased to see Mr. Lever taking hold of this idea of educatingr tYe farmer in his work just as you woiuld educate the lawyer or the c?reacher for his. Mr. Lever as a member of :ho committee on agricul ture of the house has been able to do a great deal to help the farmers of this State and his work is telling in a great many ways. Any:hing that helps the farmer and that teaches him and encourages him to improve his methods and to become satisfied with his profession and to realize that it is a profession is worth a lot to this country. Too many of our best farmers and most successful ones have been leaving the farm. We hope Mr. Lever will continue to make his speeches in all parts of the State. We need to encourage the farmer to make farm life more desir able and when he realizes that he can make money on the farm he will then begin sto improve the farm and faroa life. QUIT THE CREDIT SYSTEM. The farmers of this county will pay their debts this year and have nice balances left. There will be more cash in the county the first day of January than on any new year in all the past. It will not all, nor a large part of it, be in the hands of rich in dividuals or corporations, but will be well distributed among all the people of -the county. The farmers will have the larger part of it, but all other classes and professions will benefit by their prosperity.-Pee Dee Advocate. The crops are good this year in Marlboro county. In fact we under stand they are better there than they were last year. But even in this county where the crop is from twenty to twenty-five per cent. less than it was last year the farmer is going to have more money than he had last year. We have received at Newberry about eigh-t thousand bales already this year and this does not represent one half of the crop that will come here this year. But if the total re ceipts at this place for this year do not go over eighteen thousand bales, the farmer-the producer-will real ize more for this crop than was real ized from the twenty-four, thousand bales received last year. Tihe aver age price per ,bala last year 4to the farmer was not over forty dollars, but put it at forty-five dollars and it would have amounted to $1,080,000 for 24000 bales,while eighteen thous and bales at the prices this year will bring $1,170,000 or about $100,000 more than the crop last year. So even in this county where the crop is short there will be more money to -the cot ton grower than there was last year. And this is the first year since the war t-hat the price did not break at this time. It has steadily gone up even with an effort to break the mar ket and it is not going any lower. The Birmingham Age-Herald says that over $21,000,000 has been add ed to the cotton mill equipment of the South during the past nine months. This includes 834,428 spin dles and 16,488 looms. These addi-. tions have been maade largely by the old mills, though quite a number of new mills have been added. The Age Herald says that Alabama has 66 mills, and that in North _Carolina there are 352. One county in North Carolina, Gaston, has 48 mills. Dur ing these nine months 31 new mills have been built in North Carolina. Cotton manufacturing in the South has been profitable, and with the ad vantages this section hi.s over either New England or the foreign mills, it will continue to be profitable, and the cotton will, eventually, almost exclusively be spun in the South. amongst the cotton fields, and if the ~manufacturing of cotton goods is continued, as it will be, in other sec :ions of tthe country, these other mills will buy the yarn instead of the raw material ,We notice in the Sunday address delivered by President Taft last Sunday t-hat he advises the boys to remain on the farm. His talk sounds very much like he had been read.ing The Herald and News. We have been giving that advice and advocating this many years. and we are glad that is gaining favor with men in highi posi Wijth ituproved methods in farmning and with :he price of farm products is not far dis-tant when the young man of the crowded city will be en deavoring to get in a position where lie can move to the country. Farm ing is a profession and whenever our farmers come to realize that it has even more dignity as a profession tha-i the so-called learned professions :11ey will not strive as they have been to educate their boys away from the farm. On the contrary, they will ed uieate them to remain on the farm. It is well, however, that some of the country reared boys and girls do go to the towns and cities. It is by this means that new and vigorous life is put into the towns and cities. Why, the people of Newberry even come up to the city of Laurens to spend Sunday. Great automobile loads of them! They relish getting into a real city once in a while. Laurens Advertiser. We had a large delegation from Laurens on Monday night to the the ater and we suppose they were re turning the eall. Glad to see them. We country folks do like to get.-to a city now and then and a real city like Laurens, too. That is some of us do. If we could get together on that highway between Greenville and Co lumbia so that the automobile trip could be more easily made w6 would come to see you oftener. There ought to be something doing on this road so as to make it easier for automo biles to go to Laurens. Can't you stir up the boys? WRAT'S THE MATTER WITH ME. AULL. (Contributed.) Mr. Elbert H. Aull takes the sub scribers to The Herald and News into his confidence and talks shop. If he had conferred with an old friend up this way before publishing he would have said: "Don't." Another newspaper's subscription list was not different from that of The Herald and News, except in the matter of numbers. A newspaper up this way took notes from those int arrears, naming for payment a date in the fall. Many of these notes have been paid. The payments have been most satisfac tory, and, by careful looking around the owners of the aforesaid paper bave found good places to put the money. The owners of that news paper would .al'out as soon think of t-hrowing away bank bills as to throw away the notes of its delinquents. At the same time the owners of that newspaper would be glad to give ev erybody a present in money ranging anywhere from $8 to $15, but their bank account would warrant the prciiigaity. Another strange expression was this by Mr. Aull: "We will take off the man worth a hundred thousand just as quick as wve will the man who has no prop erty at all." As a rule, it takes business met:h ds to run a newspaper, even as it requires business met-hods to run a bank, or a store, or a cotton mill, but The Herald and News seems to be an exception.I There is a newspaper in upperI South Car-olina that would sell its office, "lock, stock and barrel,'' if a proper order was received from a man who had the means to pay the bill. Suppose a bank or a store should advertise that it would give the man without any property at all as much eredit as it would extend to one wortli $100,000. Suppose a merchant should adver tise that debtors need not pay; that their debts were wiped out, and the owners of the aforesaid bank or store [oved its debtors as before. It is hoped that the Judge of Pro bate may not see Mr. Aull's piece. He might issue a subpoena of inquiry. If he had no use for the money, he might have lent it out to some needy person.-Abbeville Press and Banner. There is nothing the matter with Mr. Aull. We are not in a position' : throw away any money, and sta ed n the article to which the above ar iele has reference, that we needed very dollar of the money tha3 was lue us. It i's possible that the peo le at Abbeville have more regard for he newspaper than the people in ome other communities have and ~ay for it. For many years we held to the po ~ition that the eredit system was the mily way to run a newspap)er. Bu: ,Ve i have collti Itel d ha i t j it n t The mUiness war~ tI o14) it.
