E. H. AULL, EDITOR. 'Entered at the Postoffice at New berry, S. C.. as 2nd class matter. Tuesday, January 18, 1910. The Gaffney Ledger and the Cher okee News are throwing bouquets at one another right along. That's right. It is nice for brethren to dwell to gether in love. Somebody has introduced a bill in the legislature to prevent boys un ader eighteen from frequenting pool rooms. That is a good bill an should pass. Editor Appelt, of the Manning Times, prints his own picture in his own paper. Shame on. you, Senator. -Greenville News. On wha.t ground do you object-to it? If a small thing like a railroad pass,which is accepted in exchange for advertising space, is of sufficient force to swerve an editor from the line of duty, then he should not lay himself liable.''-Greenville News. This in regard to the position of Editor Wallace, of the Observer. Then the News adds: "But we don't th.ink many South Carolina editors feel the weight of such an influen.ce' And in this we concur. If any of them feel that,the acceptaice of a pass in exchange for advertising would in-1 fluence them then they should not ae cept one. Mr. D. H. Wiherspoon,- formerly of Newberry county, is now the editor of Lake Butler; (Fla.), Star. He has but recently taken charge. The Her old and News wishes him well. He is a good newspaper man and has experienea in every department. With a'free pass in his pockets, is the editor on the side -of the rail roads or the people ?--Newhierry Ob server. -IThat depends. If the railroads have the cause of right and justice 'on their sid-e the editor should be oni the side of the railroadls. On the other haand- if right and justice are 'on the side of the people then the .editor should be on that side. We do ,not see how a fair exchange of what the editor has to sell for what the railroad has to sell should in enee the editor against the side of right, any more than to trade with an ordinary individual. If the rai1 .road paid the editor in money in' stead of transportation which siae wouild the .editor be on? Which worJd *exert the greater influence, money or a pass? If one is-graft wgiy not the ~other? Aswe see it if the 'editor~ of any newspaper feels that the acceptane2 ~of a pass from a railroad in exchange for space will purchase his influence as against the interests of the peo ple then he should not make such an arrangement. But we see no reason why he should try to prevent some 'other editor from making such an ar rangement. It is an insult to the * honesty and integrity of the edito rial profession to intimate that by such an exchange the editor sells out his body and soul to the railroads. And this is our opinion of that pro vision in the ,interstate commer-e law. Any editor who will sell his in fluence by exchanging space for ' a pass could be purchased much cheap er by the railroads for a money can sideration. We aie not ready yet to * believe that any of them will sell out either for a pass or for m>uey. Our observatio.n is that as a elass they are about as true to the best * interests of th~e people and sacrifica ~for the pu.bie weal as much as any other class of citizens. If, however, any edItor feels that by the acceptance of .':a pass he is selling - out to the railroads,' then he Thould not accept it, but he should not measure every body else by that v:n-d stiek. OLBMSON IN TJMET.TGHT. The report'of the legislative: com mitte on State colege is pblish ed. in the News and Courier of yes terday and takes up some five col umns. It makes interesting read ing as to Clemson especially. It con tai'ns a hot letter from Dr. Mell, former president. The Herald an< News will print the report in ful in the next issue as it is probabli that Clemson will be in the lime light for some time. It is unfortu nate that an institution; .with th possibilities of Clemson should no be able to go on smoothly with th work ,before it. Dr. Mell says, among other thing4 that the board of trustees met to, often. There has been a genera feeling amo-ng the friends of the in stitution that there was too muel trustees interference in the detail of the management of the collegE He enumerates the frequency o: board meetings. Then the board ap points special committees who havi minute details of management t< look after. These matters should b( under the management of the presi dent, and until they are it will b( difficult to get a man who can sue 'Cessfully run the college. For while the board even undertook tc take part in the discipline of th( college. Dr. Mell goes on to sho how the board undertook the man agement of all details pertaining t< the running of the college. Dr. Mell calls attention to nqpot ism which he says is a serious draw back to the college. On this subjec ne says: "R. W. Simpson-Three sons-in law on the faculty. "W.. W. Bradley-A brother o the faculty. s "J. E. Wannamaker-A brothei in-law on the faculty; a nephew o: the station staff; a niece 'in th office of the president; ja relative i the treasurer's office. "W. D. Evans-A son in the trea urer's office; a son holding the posi tion. of fertilize; inspector. "Alan Johnstone-A 11ephew o the faculty. ''Three other members of t'he co] lege force are supposed to be relatei to trustees by marriage, but I ai not in possession of aceurate infor mnation on this score." Dr. Mell thiiks the practice nepotism has caused much of thi troubles and disturbances at Clemr son during the administration of hi: predecessors. Since the*college wa; opened the board have' appointed twenty-one of their relatives to im portant positions in the college, ani there are eleven relatives now or the force, says Dr. Mell. During the past eight years Dr. Mell says t'h board~ have appointed two of theil members to good salaried places ir the* college. 'But we will prin.t the. report and *Dr. Mell's letter in full in Friday' paper. The Herald and News is determin ed to print a better newspaper ir 1910 than any year in its long ser vice to the people of Newb'erry. We expect to adhere strictly to thi cash in a'dvance pla'n for subseriptior and if you do not receive your pape' you may k.now that the time foi which ydu paid has expired.

In roads e built of gravel Abbeville, Chester, Georgetown, Greenville, Kershaw and Pickens." e The above statement has appeared t in a number of daily papers. If the e statement is true or anywhere in the neighborhood of correct then we pity the other counties. If Newber ry has even one mile of maeadam 1 road except such as are macadam by .d nature we would like to know where 1 it is. Under direction of a govern s ment expert one mile of sand and clay road was built but as soon as d the expert went we went too-that is back to the old plan of running over the county with the chain gang patehing here and there. That one mile is all right so far as that stretch of road is concerned but as an inspiration to do more it is a 7monumental failure up to this writ-! ing. It is generally. understood that the committete to investigate the State Tii N hospital for the insane will recomi mnd a large expenditure of money and pos ibly the removal of the insti tution from Columbia and the sale of the property in the city which is - now very valuable. * They will also probably recommend the separation of the races into entirely different institutions. It would be well to have them separated and probably secure .cheaper property. It would mean a large outlay of 'money but the State is ound to care for this unfortunate e class of her citizens. . There are at least three members of the 6oard of trustees of Clemson college in the present legislature who n ought to be able to look after the in terests of the institution. .We re dmember on one occasion when some a matter came up affecting thf institu -tion it was stated that the iiistituion had but b-ne reptesentative ol the fAoor. -Representative Diel4's proposition s to prevent nepotism in State colleges S will break up, some of them if en I forced. But then he lets them down - easy by provdding that 'the State I board of education may permit it. If 1 enforced it would be necessary to a have a new boar.d at Clemson or a a large proportion of the faculty would : have to seek other fields. We are no more in favor of gov ernent by injunction to enforce the prohibiton laws than we were to have th~e dispensary law enforced in thatl way. Some of those who are now advocating government .by in junction were very bitter against Gov. Tillman a few years~ago when he resorted to sueh measures. It is a very dangerous proceeding. Inasmuch as the resolution to in vestigate Clemson college provides that the cost,.of the same be paid out of the college funds~ it is probable that the resolution will pass. Clem son hias pleb.ty of money to pay the bills;p and it is just as 'well to have the investigation made. 1 To all who give orders to what the, y merchants call tailor made suits or .agent or represent-ative, no fitting, no Salteration will be done in my pla'ce of business for any merehaint, agent or representative under any consid erations. t Yours respectfully, E. T. Carlson. .1 NOTICE. SThe household goods of the Estate of Mrs. Lou A. C. - Wicker will be sold at her home in College Street, at 11 o'clock, January 21st, 1910. J. H. and W. J.
