E. H. AULL, EDITOR. Entered at the Postoffice at New ,erry, S. C.. as 2nd class matter. Friday, January 7, 1910. The Spartanburg Herald says it will be a great achievement if the mem hers, of -the Legiislature from that eounty can make the term of the county superintendent of education Iour years. It will be very easy. Some four years ago a general law :was passed making the term four years, but a half dozen counties were excepted from its pro;isions and we presume Spartanburg was one. It is an important office and there should not be too fregnen. change-when you get a competent man. The Herald. and News would like to see city council start the work of permanent improvement of our streets. Our streets are narrow and it would not be so expensive to pave some of em. President Johnson, of Winthrop ollege, has secured the $80,000 f' tiie fitting school and with the ap propnation of $20,000 by the legis lature gives for this school $100,090. And yet the location for the se'ol is still in litigation and work has not commeneed on the building. Pr. Johnson is a hard and earnest and faithful worker and has been exceptionally successful, in the man agement of Winthrop and it is now and has been a great sehool. It is not. b6ard ridden like Clemson. The boai4: at Winthrop doesn't meet one a month and a special com mittee once or twice a week. But somehow we do not like the idea of the State-of 'South Carolina going out and asking rich men or anyabody else to help us bulild our State colleges. "The Idler" requests The Her aid and News to state that he in aMd and News to state that.he is in * some things he wants to say and he will say them in the, next issue. flhe State good roads convention wiall meet in 'Columbia -on January 18. The supervisor of each county is a member by virtue of his office and each supervisor is requested to appoint as many delegates to this convent-ion as his county has mem-~ bers of the legislature. That will give Newberry four. -We hope Su pervisor Feagle will appoint four delegates who will attend. .Good 'roads is the need of this age.. The great need.' The Carolina Insuranee and Cas 7nalty company gave a most delight ful banquet to their agents at the Columbia Hotel on ,the last day of theT old year. Several speeches were unade and a good time had. This c ompany is doing a. safe buisiness an has the endorsement of the State In surance Cominissioner. It should be encouraged by, people desiring that class of insuranee and thus keep our money at home. There is an agenoy in Newberry. A feature of the banquet was the presentation from the agents to P. H. Haltiwanger, A. H. Kohn, A. .B. - Langley,' president, seerel3ary and general manager respeetively, of a . beautiful monogram gold wat+,h.
