Fair dealing between man and man is the crying need ot 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 Roosev.lt what he is today, and what h' las been in the past, tIough 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-maa truly, as the first among those who loved their, God. What does it benefit us if weI advance the cause of temperance-or prohibition. if you will-and induce our n-eighbor's cook to leave our neighbor and work for us, without saying anything to our neighbor? Sup pose, for instance, a newspaper should have a good reporte; and a rival news paper should seek tc, secure that re porter, "sub rosa," as nt were-even if that newspaper should be an earn est advocate-even a fanatical advo cate-of things it believed for the best interests of the people-even iZ that newspaper should seek to take care of the conscience of other people would that newspaper have acted in line with the teachings of the Sermon on the Mount? There are some things which sometimes some people might take a little while off and think about.-Herald and News. August 18, 19.10. Mr. E. H. Aull, Newberry, S. C. Dear Sir:-Will you be kind enough to say whether your remarks relative to "a rival newspaper" in an editorial in The Herald and News of August 19, 1910, are intended by you to apply to the Observer. Yours very truly, W. H. Wallace. Newberry, S. C., Aug. 19, 1910. Mr. W. H. Wallace, Editor The Obser ver, Newberry, S. C. Dear Sir:-In response to your in quiry of August 18, received by me to day, I desire to say that the editorial in The Herald and News about which you ask was not intended to refer to any one newspaper or individual more than another, and certainly the aim was not to refer to anybody or any newspaper not guilty of the practice condemned by the editorial. The edi torial had no hidden meaning, and the effort was to make the words convey the idea which it was desired to stress. It is for individuals, newspapers or any other business to determine for themselves whether or not it applies to them. Yours very truly, F. H. Aull. It is very distateful to have to go into public print about a matter that is so very personal as this is; but there is no alternative. The Herald] and News refers of course to the Ob server; there is no other paper here to which it could refer. It would have been more manly to have said so openly than in this sneaking way. Suppose some newspaper has been] trying to get his reporter, what has that to do with this paper's views of public questions? Why lug them in? Why not confine the complaint to the alleged grievance. How one runs his newspaper has nothing to do with his getting a newspaper reporter. So thati The Herald and News might have said all it wanted to say on that line with- ] out bringing in the "reporter" inci dent at all. We long ago despaired of] running the Observer to please our co temporary, and do not try. The mean and spiteful inuendoes and insinuations only reveal its ani-] mus, and show how the Observer's darts against deadheadism and the li quor traffic, etc., though not aimed at so insignificant a mark, yet reach the spot and rankle in the heart. But to] the case in point: let's see what there is in it: Some months ago a gentleman came from another town to Newberry and applied for a position as reporter on the Observer. We were not then in a position to offer him a place, and he secured a place on The Herald and News. Some days ago a gentleman who had been doing some reporting for the Observer was elected to a po sition in the State Farmers' Union Sthat would require him to be absent from Newberry the greater part of the time; and he told the Observer that he would not be able to keep up his work for it. We then asked one of the men in the office to sound the gentleman first referred to When it came in his way and see if he were open to a prop osition from the Observer, at the same M me asking that he tell him that we wanted the matter mentioned to his present employer berore he took any steps. This was done. Some days after, meeting this gentleman on the street, we asked him if he had spoken to his present employer. He replied that he had but that he had not come to any decision in tne matter. We re plied that if it were agreeable all round we would like to make him a proposition. and that he could let us know and we could then take the mat ter up. That was certainly as much cour tesy and consideration as The Herald and News had any right to expect. There is a law in this State. found ed no doubt on reason and good policy, whereby one may not "entice" away the "laborer" of another and N law that puts negroes in jail for violating their contracts; but there is no law that says one white man may not em ploy another white man without the consent of his pres3nt employer. That would be a species of serfdom and "peonage" to which white men of this part of the world would hardly sub mit. A numbr of men have left this of fice in the course of time for posi tions that paid :he*m more than we were able to pay, and we have not only never complained about it but hare always been willing to see them better themselves. and would not have objected even if we had had the right --asking nothing more than that they would not leave us in the lurch, but ge sas much time to fill the va hveus ane-: :,s :hey convenient.y could; which zh:: have :ivays lone. The Ob sorver do-s not stand in the way of any man who iNants to better himself, and has never dreamed that it has claims on any man that would prevent some other person from offering him a place. To sum up the whole matter: A reporter on The Herald and News was asked if he was open to a proposition from the Observer and was told, as a matter of courtesy, not of right, that it was the wish of the Observer that the matter be made known to The Her ald and News before negotiations were opened. That is all there is to it. And there the matter stands. THE SCHOOL TRUSTEES. Those Who Will ie in Charge of the Schools of Newberry County the Ensuing Session. District No. 1-F. N. Martin, W. A.
