We notice that the last legislature provided rural police in several of the counties. Some six or eight years ago when the editor of The Herald and News was a member of the leg islature, he introduced a bill provid ing for rural poilice throughout the State but rwe suppose at that time he was a little in advance of public sen timent along that line as the bill did not meet with favor. We notice that in Anderson county an act was passed providing for two rural police and in addition to the constitutiona1 oath, which -all officers are required ta take the following affirmation is required of these two rural policemen: "I further solemnly swear (or af firm) that during my term of office as county policeman I will study the aet creating my office and presecrib ing my duties and will be alert and vigilant to enforce the criminal laws of the State and to detect and bring to punishment every violation of the same and will conduct myself at all times with due consideration to all persons and will not be influenced in any matter on account of personal bias or prejudice, so help me God." We are interested to know just how the rural police will meet the favor of the people. We believe that the people who lie in the rural districts should have the same protection, as those who live in incorporated cities or towns and while it has been the policy of the State for a good many years to provida special 40&of$C tQ enforce the liquor laws, we have al ways hed that it would be just as easy and it was just as-important that oth1er laws should be enforced and these special constables could do po liee duties while looking after viola tors 'of the liquor Gaws. The tatehas spent a great deal of money in the effort to enforce liquor laws. Two or ~three mounted police in each county could accomp~lish a great deal in the maintenance of law and order in .the rural districts. Of course they could not cover the .coun ty bat the fact that such offiers were on duty would have a wholesome ef feet in restraining violation of law. The Anderson Intelligences of this week has an editorial entitled, "Why Aliways Aibbeville?'' in which it pro e eeds to make the statement that Ab beville county has had the congress man from this district so long that the memory of man runneth not to the contrary. Then it enumerates the fact that the ditre was repro sented by Hon. D. Wyatt Aiken for years who was succeeded by Judge .J. S. Cothran, who in turn was suc eeeded by Hon. Wyatt Aikea, the present congressman, all from Abbe vrille. By some means, which we do not .pretend to explain, the Intelligence: seems to> have overlooked the fact .that a citizen of Anderson county represented the district for some ten years previous to the election of the present conIgressman.~ During that time Newberry man aged to get one term which we believe is the only re.presentation that New iberry has had in congress for forty years. If Oconee or Pickens ever hiad a congressman in -the present ar rangemient of the district, we do not :recall it. From what we see in the inewspapers Piekens is going to fur nish a candidate and Oconee two cau didates. Greenwood is a young county, being mnade up largely of territory which once belonged .to A4bbeville, and has never offered a candidate for con gress. We have not heard of any prospective candidate from Green 'wood this year, neither have we heard of any prospective candidate from Newberry. Abbeville has held the hone-r long - ma anzy o-ther county in the dis trict but the county is not pecular in this respect alone. She now has a member of the supreme court and two State officers. But what matters it? Not the county from which he hails, but the man, is what we want. It is to the credit of Abb-eville if she can furnish him. /The city of Greenville has recent ly voted three hundred thousa:nd dol lars, in bonds for the extension of the sewerage system and for pav ing. Newberry did the right thing in voting for the extension of the sewrage, and, should havej includ ed in the bonds a sufficient amount to have don-e some street paving. We ought to spend at least fifty thous and dollars in street paving and there is .no good judgment in waiting. It would have been much easier to have included this in the election, which was held for sewerage, than it will be to vote the bonds for street paving separately. Newberry has reached the stage in her growthiJ when it is necessary to have some better streets. It is economy in the end to build permanent streets. Judge Robent Aldrich, who held the criminal court in Greenwood last week, sentenced a white man, who was convicted in his court for sellng liquor, to the peitentiary or the chaingang for six months at hard la bor without the alternative of paying a fine. The .alw gives this discretion to the court, anid if it were known by persons convieted of this offence, they would not be given the alterna tive of a fine, there would be fewer violations of the law. In most cases a blind tiger operator does not mind paying the fine and it has no terrors for him; he looks upon it as a license tax If lie were -not permitted to pay out in eases of this kind and wera re quixed to put on stripes he would be more careful about violating the law. The Herald and News desires to state that the ibargain saae of the .pa pr limited to one year to one sub scriber is still on .at one dollar. This proposition hohTs good to subscrib ers whiose names are on our mailing ist as well as to new suxbscribers. It gives to old subscribers 'the same op portunty that it gives to new sub sribers. It is an opportunity which gives ithe people of the county as good semi-weekly newspaper es can be gotten in South Carol.ina for the low price of one dollar for one year. This opportuni~ty will posi tively elose on the 3rd day of May. Automobile accidents, for the most part, may be attributed 'to poor ly adjuste~d brakes, according to Cales T. Jeffery, general man ager of the Rambler company, who omments upon the impo.rtance to the buyer of a careful examination of the details of the car that attracts m. "Poorly aidjusted ,brakes are dn gerous, but are often tolerated be ause of the difficulty of adjust ment,'' aid Mr. Jeffery. In~ the ew Rambler, the brake adjustmenit may be accomplished by lifting the aluminum floor board and turning a thumb screw by hani. "It is in the little things that you find evidence of careful wonk nanship end quality. The best cars oda:y are those in which the parts vtre fitted accurately, anid little hings are inecluded for the comfort rd convenience of the owner. "All Rambler parts are required o fit within one-thousandth of an nh. Every part is subjected to ountless inspections, and with the ests through which every part must ass, we are sure of a perfect car hen it leaves the factory. "Other examples of important etails are the safety starting device, . safeguard for the owner, the new gasoline lock, and the Rambler kloor ok.' Father-Well, .Carolyn, how do you like school?

There are several things about which I desire to express an t opinio:n so I have concluded to con- s tinue to write. r 0 t Talking about sermons and preach- - ing I read a question in one of the I county papers the other day which n was a part of the program for an Epworth league meeting in the Cen- Ib tral Methodist church and which I a presume was discussed. The general b subject for deliberation- at this meet- n ing was "The Sabbath rest and the t week day toil." This question to e which I refer was the fourth and I e to ,be opened by the pastor of the b church. It read: "Would it be any S more incongruous to dump a load of e hay in your parlor Sunday morning than the contents of a Sunday paper c in your mind I" I was hoping at a least one of the papers would publish t the .answers to this Christian qu'es- r tion. I wanted to see what would be said. I suppose the answer would de pond on several things. It appears to I me that it would depend somewhat r on the kind of cattle you kept in your e parlor and then so;iawhat on the capacity of the mind into which you dumped the contents of a Sunday 1 paper. And then too on the defini- c tion of some of the words that are f co:itained in the question. e -0--t It might have been well in an- a nouncing a subject of this character I for discussio in an Epworth league t meeting to have learned wisdom from i; the young gentlemen of the literary b societies of the college when they announced that they were going to discuss the jury system. I happened 0 to see on of their published programs and they kindly printed for an unso phisticated audience the limits which a they placed on the "jury system." E Then they kindly told the audience that "abolition is the extintion, the doing away with, or the puttng an end to.' And further "to promote is to contribute to the development and furtherance of.'' And still fur ther "justice is the body of princi ples by .which the actions are d'eter mined as right or wrong; reward or punishment according to desert, or in vindication of law and right." Now, that struck me as exceeding ly kind and thoughtful in these young collegians. There you had it. The whole definition and you coulds under- a stand what the young men were talk- * ing about. .You had an explicit defi- * nition of such intricate words as a "abolition,'' "to promote,'' and a "justice,'' and you could not fail to know what they meanut. ---'0- n No.w if this Epworth league pro- t, gram as published ha d also publish- a ean explanation of such intricate J words as "incongruous,'' "dump,'' .a "hay,'' "parlor,'' "contents,'' "pa per,' "mind,'' and so forth I might o bave formed some sort of an idea of t] what line of thought was pursued. I E and that old man Webster says ''in- e ongruous'' means "not congruous'' and that "congruous'' means "to Ie eame together,'' therefore "inoon- e ~ruous'' would be interpreted "nor o to come together.'' To substitute r therefor simple words it would read, k( 'Would it 'be any more not to come a bogether to dum~p a load of 'hay,''-etc. is 21d Mr. Webster says "mind'' is ti "'the intellectual or rational faculty e .man'." a - Mr. Webster says also that 'dulmp' jr< neans "to knock heavily.'' I have a >ften 'wished that I could get the eon-' ;ents of a Sunday paper in my mind. .p he Sunday .paper generally contains m ;ome fine sermons .and many helpful al irticles. I have often read with ei profit in a Sunday paper some fine ar- b, ;il'es from the, pen of such men as Bishop Candler. In fact I believe as C 1 rule there is more helpful reading *b ni the average Sunday paper than in o, my other paper of the week. e ---- s] I want to give you some little ser nons I read the other day in a week' vi lay paper. Take them along and di- e] est them. They will 'do you good: ir If there was an elevator going to 1aven some folks would complain te ~hat ri'ding in elevators always made a hem dizzy. tI Heaven looks mighty high ter us, ' yit we kin bring it clost enough ter J hake hands wid de angels. le Take all de trouble out er de world, h: 1!l' you'd git so tired of Joy, trouble ci vould seem like a benediction. I don 't want ter go ter glory befo' si ny time. Dis' ol' world is bright ,orld may be blazin'? Ef you could fence in de whole orld you would'nt git m-o mo' out of a than three square meals a day, so ry to be happy on ten acres. -0 I wonder sometimes if the people -ho object to the Sunday paper real y know that there is more work one on Sunday to produce the Mon .ay paper than there is to produce he Sumday paper. I wonder, too, if ome of these strict Sabbatarians ever -ead the 12th chapter of St. Mat hew. An'd if they ever read in St. lark: "And he said unto them, The abbath was made for man, and not ian for the Sabbath. Therefore the on of man is Lord also of the Sab ath." I believe in -a day of rest nd of an observance of the Sabbath, ut there are so many things that eed the attention of all good people ] hat I do not like to see so much nergy wasted when it might be turn d to efforts to uplift and help and eal and ,nurse and feed. hungry souls r>me at least of which are much more ssential than to prevent the dumping load of hay in your parlor or the ontents of a Sunday paper in your iind. In fact it would be helpful D dump the cntents of a Sunday aper into some of our minids. -0 I see Mr. Wright is going to open Villowbrook park. And the Newber y Coneert 'band is going to give a oncert over in town on Friday after ioon in that beautiful little park 7hich The Idler has built (in his ind) in the public square in front -f the old, eourt h:use. How beauti ul it would be for the women and hildren to go out to this concert if he coping were up around this park, ud the grass were growing, and the owers were ,blooming, and the foun ains were throwing rainbow sprays a the sunlight. When will my dream e a reality7 -0 There is one thing I ean say, May r Blease has had two nice cros'sings lade in Caldwell street so that hurch goers to the Baptist, Lutheran nd Methodist churches can no long r have exeuse of muddy crossings.

Thereupon the landlady w called in to account for .the mis links. "Madam," said Mr. severely, "I gave you eight sages last night; here are five What has become of the three?"
