14 E. AULL.. EDITOR. Entered at the Postoffice at New Aerry, S. C.. as 2nd class matter Friday, February 4, 1910. The Spartanburg Journal in speak ing of a visit of Mr. L. W. Parker to Spartanburg says it has been ra mored that he would probably be a eandidate for the United States sen ate. We do not bmow that Mr. Par ker has any aspiration in that direc tion, but we do know Mr. Parker quite well and we do not hesitate to say that there is not a better equip ped man in this state for Uu.ied States senator than Mr. Parker. While he has been a very busy man in the commercial world -he is also a weall informed man and a close stu dent of political economy and the State of South Carolina would do well to secure his services in the senate. We bave known Mr. Par -ker from the time when lie was a school boy, and we know him to it,e a man of high character and of intel' lectual strength and we would be glad to see this type of man repre senting South Carolina in the United States Sanate. 'We doubt, however, if Mr. Parker would consent to be a candidate for this position, or wheth er he ould afford to soeept it, be 0ause ie is a man of large affais and successful in them. The legislature, which seems to be engaged in inspecting all the useful educational institutions of the State ought to come to Spartenburg and visit the Journal, office.-Spartan burg Journal. Possildy you -hAve overlooked siding the proper invitation and mnking the necessary arrangements for a special train and entertain ment at your end with the and so forths. The present legislature believes in visiting colleges -and being enter 4ained. And they find -lots of friends to accompaniy them on these * junkets. *The suecessful politician is the -one who knows how to sound te popular wave and who is able and aotive enough to 'leap from one po aion of leadership to another~ with O n.jury to his limbs even if it be o rces the ceheszn as wide as the one from dispensary leadership to Sate-.ide prohibi'tion. Tha l say. l.g is that only thiy fool z ever ebanges his mnind. The 'high price of meat -and all good stuffs shou-ld be a lessoni to the farmers of this county. We can grow -all the meat and bread in this county we need, and there is allways a mar ket for it, Butabove allhase on 4he farm all- you need for the fa The Herald and News has 'been preaching that 'theology for 'twenty five. years and there are now many converts. Plant corn. Sow. spring oats. The report of the sinking fund commision for Newberry, Menden Jiall and Stoney Battery townships, published in this issue of The Her -aid and News, shows the saving which has resulted to the people of these townships by the creation of thius com.mision and its work in the retirement of the railroad bonds of the three townships. *The creation of this commission - was the result of the suggestion of Mr. Fred H. Dominiek, while he was County clerk and attorney, after a thorough investigatin by Mr. Dom inick into the feasibility of a plan for a more expiiditious retirement of the bonds than under the old plan. .The commision was created byv the legislative session of 1908, and its: first meeting was held on February 27 of that year. The 'commission is' composed of the county supervisor, the county treasurer, the county au ditor, and the mayors of Newberry and Pperit. M.. Dni:.a s! been secretary of the commission th since it was created. la The report goes into detail as to Iye the bonds which have beea< retirnad th1 th and as to those yet outstanding, and, le" taken in connection with thereport of ye the preceding year, shows that the ui three townships have in two years beem saved $2,231 in interest. As a fo result of the cancellation of bonds in re 1908 the saving in interest last year ti< was $953, and as a result of the $1 cancellation of bonds last year the la total saving in interest will be $1,278 per year, making the total for the 00 two years the amount above stated. fo If the plan suggested to the New- 'u berry delegation by the commission 01 is put into effect all of the bonds can be taken up, and instead of paying m seven per cent on some of them and six per cent. on the others, the three It townships would pay only five per hE cent. on the whole indebtedness, thus 9 enabling them to rid themselves of bi the burden in much shorter time. The work of the commission has re been well done, and the records of VI the secretary show the exact stand- th ing of the townships in relation to the bonds. Oi tb It is said the appropriation bill of this year will be the banner one in nc the-history of legislation.' It will be a" noted that the 0itadel wants an ex- s4 tra appropriation of $85,000 and the in South Carolina University wants ry more. The State is rich, the people C are prosperous.
