E H. AULL, EDITOR. Entered at the Postoffice at New ferry, S. C.. as 2nd class matter. Tuesday, September 20, 1910. A COMUENDABLE SPIRIT. The Newberry, S. C., Herald and News was one of the very small num ber of South Carolina newspapers which gave Governor-to-be Blease whole-hearted support during his cam paign for the nomination. In the face of the bitterest attacks showered upon its favorite, The Herald and News de fended Mayor Blease manfully. The, fact that its candidate was endorsed by 5,000 majority when the final pri mary was held would seem to give our Newberry contemporary no small ex cuse for what Lewis Carroll calls "gloating." Greatly to the credit of The Herald and News, however, there is no shrill shout of triumph in the utterance which is to be found in the first issue after its victory. Several of its con temporaries had made themselves merry over its positiou. To these jibes it gives the scantest attention. The thought uppermost is the great oppor tunity which Blease is offered to con firm the judgment of his friends and to overwhelm his opponents with con fusion by conducting his administra tion along progressive yet safe lines. The same thought has been the theme of possibly the majority of edi torial comment on this subject. None of this has, however, so excellent a chance of being heeded as the weighty sentences uttered by the victor's staunchest adherent. The Herald and News by deriding those that had de rided it might have had the satisfac tion of an argumentative revenge. By impressing upon the next goveronr the responsibility which attends his suc cess, it has used its triumph in an un speakably wiser manner.-Charlotte Observer. We desire to acknowledge with a spirit of humility the compliment con tained in the above comment of the Observer. The .Herald and News has always endeavored to be conservative and at the same time positive in the expression of its convictions. We have always tried to give everybody a square deal and while we have fought hard and vigorously, we have never struck below the belt and have endeav ored to realize that the opponent al ways had some virtues. We believe that the people of South Carolina also believe in a square deal and fair treat ment, and that the great mass of our people want to do the right thing and will do it. NEWBEERY COLLEGE. The time for the opening of the col leges and schools is here. Newberry college will begin its fifty-fifth session next week. A local notice of the open ing appears in another column. Newberry college is one of the insti. tutions of which all of the people of1 this community should feel proud. It is a privlege to have an educational institution of thi; atracter in the community. Sometimes we do not appreciate as we should the advantages which we enjoy. We do not believe this is true, however, of the people of Newberry in regard to Newberry college. It is sec-, ond to no institution of higher learn ing in this State, not only in the curri-i culum, but in the character and stand ing of the gentlemen who compose the faculty. It offers an opportunity to every young man in this community who desires a college education to take one at a minimum of cost. There is no reason why any parent or guar dian or any young man who is seeking an -education on his own adcount should go elsewhere. It is true, as stated, that our people have shown a commendable pride in Newberry college and while it is un der the direction and control of the Lutheran denomination, many young men in this community of all creeds have taken advantage of the college and it numbers already among its alumni men of all denominations. While this is true there are a great pose now is :o call their attention to the opportunity which is offered them the ablest presidents in this State and he is supported by an able faculty. We desire that the people of New berry shall continue their undivided support of this institution. It is nec essary sometimes that attention be directed to the advantages which we have at our very door lest we forget. RURAL SCHOOLS. The Herald and News again directs attention to the article from Prof. Tate. We are anxious that all of our rural subscribers especially should read these articles. He tells in this one of the organization and operation of a consolidated school in Union county and how much more efficient the work is and how much pleased the people are with it. To hold its best citizens every con try community must have the very best educational facilities. The people are not going to remain in a community if they can get away, that does not fur nish the best educational facility for the children of that community, and ip this the people are right, except that they ought to unite in the community and secure for themselves the very best educational facilities. It is a great deal cheaper to educate your boys or your girls in the community than to move to town to do so and then in addition to that we believe it is better for the boy or the girl if he or she can be reared in the country. The influences, as a rule, are much better for the development of the true man or woman. In this day and time the country is a more desirable place to live anyway as you can have ali of the modern conveniences, as they are termed, and at the same time enjoy the freedom and' the independence of country life. The only way to have first class schools in the country is to consolidate a number of the weak one-teacher schools and build up a good school even if the children have to be trans ported. The circus is coming and The Her ald and News is of the opinion that it has held many years that the children ought to be given an opportunity to go to the circus. It will be a great event in their lives and if properly taken in will be an educational event. Remem ber the circus will be in Newberry Eriday, September 30. Let all the boys and girls too, prepare to attend. We were talking with a gentleman :n the train the other day on the sub Ject of improved highways and of the advantages to the country people of putting money in the improvemet of their highways and he meritionied a county in Kentucky and he said in this county there were two thousand miles of macadam highway -and that it cost from one to two thousand dollars per mile and that the county last year produced $100,000,000 worth of agri-1 cultural wealth. It is not a cotton Schiool Days Get Your Schoc We Have a Col Tablets, Ink, Pencils, Pen Staffe Erasers, Crayon Book Satchel: Slates, Boo] Pencil B( Memo] Pou ndersorn I county believe in the very best oj e': erything; the best roads, the best stock and the best people and there is no one thing that contributes so much to obtaining results as the building of good roads. If Newberry county, for instarnce, would invest one-half million dollars and build with it a thousand miles of good permanent road in this county, we would produce three times the wealth that we do each year, and in a few years this would be the wealthiest county in South Carolina. We understood that the city council some time ago on recommendation of the filre department had adopted an or dinance fixing what is known as the fire limits. By this we understood that ro wooden buildings were to be per mitted within this limit. We would suggest, unless this ordinance is to be enforced, that it ought to be repealed. The block in rear of the postoffice al ready had a number of wooden shan ties on it that are not only an eye sore but are veritable fire traps. Instead of pulling these down we understand that a permit has been granted for the erection of another wooden building. We can not understand why the prop erty owners would desire to menace their own property as well as that of the community by continuing to erect these wooden structures even if there were not an ordinance of the Zown against them.
