Mann. of Oconee county, member of the board of trus tees of Clemson college, and member of the house of representatives from Oconee-the holding of both of which positions at one and the same time is in plain violation of the letter and spirit of the Constitution of South Carolina, which Mr. Mann and some other members of the legislature both house and senate-have been sworn to obey-has withdrawn from the race for congress in this district, which leaves Congressman Aiken a clear field. Mr. Mann wouldn't have been elected anyway, and he probably realized this. but it does seem that he could have done the manly thing and not put his withdrawal on the ground that the county chairmen of the dis trict had not treated him properly. As matter of fact, we happen to know that County Chairman Dominick, of this county, did more than his position required him to do, in the interests of Mr. Mann, although we know that Mr. Dominick in his official capacity seeks only to do jistice. Possibly in Mr. Mann's case, he was sympathetic for the under fellow. This is not only possible, but probable. It is well that Mr. Mann has with drawn. The impres8ion has gained advancement that Clemson college is trying to control the State. Whether or not there is concerted action on the part of the Clemson trustees, it is a fact that the chairman of the Clem son board is senator from Newberry county-in plain and unequivocal vio lation of the State Constitution; that Mr. Mann, Mr. Jno. G. Richards and others, members of the Clemson board, are members of the house, vio lating the State Constitution in the same way; that Mr. Mann, already holding two positions, in violation of the State Constitution, and seeking a third, h.as withdrawn, and that Mr. Richards, now holding two positions, in plain violation of this Constitution which he and others have been sworn to obey, is now in the race for gover nor. It wouldn't surprise us to see some trustee of Clemson want to hold his job as trustee, represent his county both in the senate and in the house of representatives, and be governor and United States senator-all at the same time. But the withdrawal of Mr. Mann is a sign of the times. Hierarchy lasted for a time.. It will be recalled that hierarchy did not continue forever. GIVE US A "SQUARE DEAL." Fair dealing between man and man is the crying need of this commercial age-an age which has almost reach ed what is sometimes called the ultra commercial. Advocacy of "the square deal," was what made Theodore Roosevelt what he is 'oday, and what he has been in the past, though Mr Roosevelt has not always practiced 'what he has preached. A very beau tiful and a very famous poem has placed one who loved his fellow-man, and who loved his fellow-man truly, as the first among those who loved their God. What does it benefit us if we advance the cause of temperane --or prohibition, if you will-an'l in duce our neighbor's cook to leave our neighbor and work for us, withojut saying anything to our neighbor? Suppose for instance, a newspaper snould have a good reporter and a Tiv.al newspaper should seek to se cure that reporter, "sub rosa," as it 'are-even if that newspaper should he an earnest advoest'e-even a fa1a. tDczl advocate-jf itings it beliecd "cr the- best int:<ests of the pecle -even :E that' :ewspaper should seek to take care of the conscience of oth er people-would that newspaper have acted in line with the teachings of the Sermon on the Mount? There some~ people might take a iuie ;i off and think about. rSE THE DRAG. We had occasion a few days ago, in going to the barbecue and campaign I meeting at Jalapa, to travel over the r road from Newberry to Jalapa. Sup ervisor Feagle and his force have done I some excellent road work and this now is orV of th-d best roads in the I State. The work at the Gum Spring i branch transforms the place absolute-! ly and one would not recognize it. I What the road needs most is the f use of the drag and it is strange that the people who live along a road and! have to use it constantly will not go to the little trouble necessary in the use of this simple device. Dr. G. Y. Hunter, who was in New berry yesterday, stated that the worst road between the steel bridge and Newberry was from the incorporate limits of the city on to the business. section. The romd from Prosperity to the steel bridge has been dragged, and we are told is in excellent condition. When Supervisor Feagle finishes! the work to Kinards, there will be no better section of the main highway between Greenville and Columbia than that portion in Newberry county from the court house to the LaurensI line. All that it needs to keep it so is the use of the split log drag. We publish in another column an article from Mr. W. K. Tate on the subject of the rural schools and how V to help them. It is true that they need better supervision, and it is also true that the teachers change in the rural schools oftener than they do in the city schools but it should be remembered that as a rule the payl] of the rural schools is mnch smaller and the terms are much shorter. One of the greatest needs In the I rural schools, as we see it, is longer terms and better pay for the teachers, and in order to accomplish this there ought to be consolidation. In some of r the counties it would be well no doubt to have better supervision, but as a rule the county superintendents of education are practical teachers and men of education. In Newberry county the country schools have been paying the teachers better and the terms are longer, but it would be still better and cheaper if we could consolidate a number of~ the country schools even if the county had to go to the expense of running conveyances to and from the schools for the children who live too far to walk. In order to make this success ful, however, there is need of better roads. As a matter of fact, however,{ there has been very great improve ments in the rural schools, at least in, this county. THE CONiFEDERATE REUNION. Spartanburg, August 18.-There is, one reason, and one reason only, that 'the Confederate yeterans did not cap ture Spartanburg this week, and that reason is that Spartanburg was al ready theirs. The crowds for the an nual State reunion have exceeded the expectations of all, but Spartanburg has taken care of them in a most' handsome manner. John Wood, the energetic secretary of the chamber ofI commerce, is everywhere at the same! time, and the committee of the whole! to help him includes every cititzen of Spartanburg. Newberry has taken a 'prominent place in the picture, and the "boys," as they term themselves, and as they' are while here, are having a great time. The Newberry veterans, in charge of Adjt. 0. L. Schumpert, of the James D. Nance camp, coming via the Southern, say they had a most pleasant trip here, and they are well quartered and well taken care of.: When I first saw them on Wednes day morning Col. Schumpert, dressed in the gray uniform of his rank, was in the lead, with the banner of the, James D. Nance camp in his hands and there is no prouder~ banner here. "'Uncle Luke" Sease and Veterafl Moo::an Ruff :mdu Hose~a Earger and many others. whlose names appeared in the last issue of The Herald and News as among those who would at tend, were in the party, and they were meeting their comrades of the days of the sixties and iin ing over in remiin I ' W1);_-:1, it-, iit;:~ fO ioma and fireside and for principle, hey commanded the admiration of the G vorld.

There are many Newberrians here vho are not veterans, and they, too, tre enjoying the occasion. The railroads have been doing the r )est they could. but they have been axed to the utmost to handle the rowds. J. K. A.
