E. H. AULL, EDITOR. Entered at the Postoffice at New ferry, S. C.. as 2nd class matter. Friday, September 16, 1910. A GREAT OPPORTUNITY. Mr. Blease, when he assumes the of fice next January, will have the great est opportunity that has been present ed to any governor of South Carolina since Wade Hampton. It is the sincere 'wish of the Record that he shall live up to that opportunity. He has the ability to do it. By giving the State a fair, conserva tive, progressive administration Mi. Blease can disappoint his enemies and confound all who have predicted that he would as governor be radical, par tisan and arbitrary. He is familiar with the affairs of the State, he knows the sentiment of the people, he pos sesses the capacity for leadership. He has said that if elected he will be gov ernor of all the people. Let him live up to that pledge and measure up to the situation. In every effort to do so Mr. Bl-ease may be assured of the best wishes and sincere cooperation of the Record, which with the vast majority of other newspapers in the State, has opposed his election to the limit of its influence and ability. We are licked, we accept the verdict of the ballot box in good faith, and stand ready to uphold the hands of the victor in every worthy act and endeavor.-Columbia Record. The abovt from the Columbia Rec ord is a manly utterance and we must say of all the newspapers we have read we believe the Record has been inclined to be fair and just in its op position. -We agree with the Record that Mr. Blease has now before him the greatest opportunity of his life. He is face to face with a crisis. He can rout his enemies and draw his friends closer to him. He has the ability and we believe will exercise the judgment and will justify the con fidence placed in him by the 60,000 citizens of South Carolina, who voted for him on Tuesday in preference to Mr. Featherstone, by giving to the peo ple of South Carolina a conservative, dignified and business administration of the high office to which he has been chosen. That he will rout his enemies and confound them, as the Record says, by refusing to be radical, parti san and arbitrary. We repeat that a great opportunity Is presented to you, Mr. Blease. A crisis has been reached in your poli tical career. The people of South Carolina have chosen you by a decid ed majority for the high office of gov-. ernor, and the few newspapers that gave you support are expecting that by your conduct you will justify that support and put to rout and confound those who have opposed you in that you will not do anything radical, but that you will be conservative, dignified and business-like, and at the same time positive, lending your voice and your influence to those things which will make for the advancement of South Carolina In all things that are for the up-lift of her citizenship. . .THE REASON. In discussing the defeat of Mr. Featherstone, the Columbia Record says that "the portrayal of any candi date as a buzzard and the misquota - tion of such a mani as Dr. Geo B. Cromer to the 1-art of that candidate are 'breaks' sufficient to ensure the s leaiLn of that candidate in any ciune cor:st in a State where the people love a fair fight and decent metheds." There is a great deal of truth in this statement. We believe that a large majority of the people resented the unfair attacks made upon Candidate Blease by the State newspaper and quoted with gusto by a great major ity of the country press and the o'her smaller dailies of the State. As The Herald and News said in an editorial just before the second pri mary, referring to the cartoon, which, by the way, was published in one or two other papers in South Carolina, using as a text the label, placed un der this cartoon, "The Menace": "The menace is unfair newspaper methods." The denial to the candidate whose defeat it attempts to encompass, thae hearing, along with the attacks that nare being made upon him. Such meth ence of the press of the State. "The newspapers of South Carolina have in the past wielded a wonderful influence. It is because they have made for themselves a reputation of fairness, and, presenting both sides, have urged the claims of the side which the newspapers thought would be for the interests of the State of South Carolina." We further remarked in this edito rial before the election: "The course which some of them are now pursuing may help the men of their choice in this particular race-though we doubt it-but the profession suffers. Why not give verybody a square deal." As it turned out the course of some of these newspapers did not help the man of their choice and the profession has suffered. It is all right to say that the press of the State owes a duty to the citiz enship and that duty is to expose any man, who, in their judgment is un worthy of public confidence, but the man who has received the endorse ment of his home people must have some good qualities and is it not al ways the duty of the press to give to the citizenship of the State the benefit of these virtues and then let the citiz enship choose? That was not the policy pursued, however, by the press that opposed Mr. Blease and as a re sult, though all but two or three newspapers fought him bitterly, the people of South Carolina have elected him governor by a majority of over five thousand. There is a lot of complaint as to the crowded condition of the* capitol at Columbia. There is not nearly enough room in the building for all the State officers. Several officers who have quarters in the State house during the balance of the year, have to get out while the general assembly is In session. Others have to get out for the supreme court. Others never try to get quarters in the building. Those who can not find quarters in the capitol have to pay rent of course. This Is expensive to the State. The nly way out of the trouble is for the State to build more accommodations nd this should be done without delay. -Yorkville Enquirer. The State house is crowded on ac ount of the increase by the legisla ture in departments of State. If the legislature would erect a supreme ourt building for the use of the su-, preme court and the supreme court library, the present State house would accommodate comfortably the differ ent departments. This should be done and the Interest on the money would not be a great deal more than is paid' for rent. Besides, it would give the State officers permanent abode for records and they would be more com fortable and could do their work more satisfactorily. It was said by one newspaper that were Blease elected governor it would be Aull smiles in Newberry. The ma ority of us of his profession think that Aull is wrong in Newberry. Chester Lantern. We would remind Brother Caldwell that competent literary critics state that the pun on names is not the high est order of wit. However, we will further state that Aull is feeling fair ly well and endeavoring to pursue the even tonor of his way without attempt ing to molest or disturb any one else and that while the majority of his pro ession may think that he is wrong, the majority of his fellow citizens of South Carolina in this particular case has said that he is right, and so also has the majority of his fellow citizens of Newberry county. We observed in the Record of Wed esday afternoon in givng the result of the race for the legislature in New berry county under a Newberry head line, that it is stated "Mr. Evans is a cousin of Mr. C. L. Blease." So far as we are informed they are in no way related by blood or otherwise. The Herald and News has received! several communications attacking the~ Columbia State and its editor. These are not printedl and even if the elec tion were not over they would not be printed. Our policy is not to make. personal attacks upon any one and~ now that the election is over and The Herald and News has won, we can Tie LirmeZoet Given Away Last Week Was Awarded to W. A. WHERRY. We are still giving away these sets each week, and will continue for thirty weeks. F,URNITUiRE CHEAPER than anybody. Sheley-mWheeler Co. not so inclined already. We have no quarrel with the Columbia State, or any other newspaper, and we can not open our columns to attacks upon it or any other newspaper. During the entire campaign, The Herald and News has made no attack upon any news paper nor upon any candidate. Mr. A. D. Hudson, as president of the Corn Breeders' association of Sou.th Carolina, at the request of The Herald and News, furnishes an arti cle, giving the history and progress of this organization. He should have the support of all the people of South Carolina in this work and particular ly the co-operation of the people of Newberry. SCURRY'S NINE WINS. Defeated Prosperity on Last Thursday Evening by Score of NIne to Seven. (By J. R. S.) On last Thursday afternoon, Sep tember 8, the little Prosperity nine met the Scurry's nine (ages ranging from 8 to 15 years) on the college dia mond and played nine innings, Scur ry's nine defeating Prosperity's nine, 9 to. 7. The game was called at 4.30 o'clock, Scurry's nine going to bat first. The following is the score by in nings: Scurry's Nine .. .....123 300 000-9 Prospdrity . .......012,000 040-7 In the third inning the Prosperity catcher was hit by a pitched ball and hurt so badly that he had to get out of the game for two Innings. He was substituted by a boy much smaller than himself who held down the pitch or remarkably well. In the eighth In ning several bases were given Pros perity on balls which finally brought them ano'ther run. Prosperity finally scored three, now making four runs. In the ninth inning everybody got down to business and no more scores were made on either side. This concluded the season. Now as our little nine will soon start to school I hope they will not think too much about baseball, but, on the other hand will start to school with the determination of studying hard, and learn all they can and be good and obedient boys to their - teachers and parents, trying to get along at school w: th all their fellow-students. This wjil be iAce and everybody will no, tice it and praise all the boys for be ing such nice little "gents" and God will love you all for it. Then, if we are living next year after school is out, we will organize our teams again and will play such good ball that we will even surprise professionals and everybody who will come to see us. Hurrah, for our little team! We came out In the hole b,ut it was not our fault altogether; but we are used to disappointments and the best way to take them is to laugh instead of crying for the latter view will only make matters worse. I think we all got our money's worth although we were not financially able to lose :t (the writer especially) but he is satis fied with having made all of the little boys have a good time as they so ex pressed .It. The Prosperity team and some little friends were met at the depot by their old friend, Scurry, and carried to the college diamond in Mr. Morris' strect car. After the game the teams were brought back to the city and, after having been refreshed anld eating some goodies, in company with my good friends, J. L. Wise, and old Bunce Wheeler they were taken over to Wil lowbrook park. They surely enjoyed themselves, swinging and see-sawing and seeing several experts skate. We then came back to the depot and I left them all happy as a big sun flowel that nods and bends in the breezes and their hearts were as light as the wind that blows the leaves fronm off the trees. I will stop now and hope to see all my little friends often and that we may all live long and prosper and that my little team may grow up and make useful men; that the people and our country and our Heavenly Father will be proud of.
