E. H. AULL, EDITOR. Entered at the Postoffice at New Serry, S. C.. as 2nd class matter. Friday, October 14, 1910. IMPORTANT NOTICE. We find that about 350 of our sub scribers will be due for their sub scriptions to The Herald and News between this time and the first of January. We do now make a most earnest appeal to them to renew for a year as their subscriptions expire. We desire to meet some obligations and put in some new machinery and prompt renewal for one year from 350 subscribers would aid us very ma terially. Then we want to add 500 new ones during the same time. The Herald and News prints the news while it is fresh. We prefer to give our sub scribers the news and good reading matter to filling our columns with ad vertisement at reduced rates. We will be pleased to have the advertisements, but will not take them at cut prices. We do not send notices to subscrib ers but take off names when the time paid for expires. Renew promptly and for a year. ., Winnsboro is the first town in the State to have her streets dragged with a split dog drag hitched on to an automobile. A mighty good exam ple for some other towns to follow. Not bad for the country folks either. Winnsboro News and Herald. It would be a good example for ev ery one who is interested in good roads to follow. We have been preaching for many long and short days the importance of using the split log drag, but our efforts have been rewarded with only indifferent suc-1 cess. This present week would have been a fine opportunity for the use of the drag. But out people are too busy to do anything to the road. The chaingang must do it. The miile of government road has not been kept up and it would have taken but little time. It will soon be as bad as any road in the county. The supervisor has made a fine road from Newberry to Kinards. It can be kept in even better condition just with a little attention. If the people who live along the road do not feel suf ficient interest to do this, then they are not entitled to any road. The streets of Newberry need something. It will take probably a little something more than dragging. That might help in some places. There needs to be something doing. So far as we have information the Winnsboro News and Herald is cor rect. The action of the city of Co-t lumbia in not permitting the South ern Power company to enter the city has not only retarded the develop ment of the trolley system to which the News and Herald refers, but we understood that it had been the pur pose of the Southern Power company to make Columbia the <1istributing point for South Carolina, but that now prob ably Greenville will be selected. Columbia being centrally located it would have been a much better place for the location of the distributing plant. The fact is the city of Newberry has not yet given the Southern Power company the right to come in here.. Corn Exposition. The corn exposition is attracting more attention just now than any other event to take place in the State. The exposition will be held in Colum bia from December 5 to 8. The corn shows in the different counties will be held during the present month and the exhibits from these shows will be, sent to Columbia. A. D. Hudson, of Newberry, is the president of the ex position and will give information. A handsome prize list is being prepared and will be soon sent out to those de siring to enter exhibits. The exposi tion will be unique in its nature. The idea of a corn exposition 9 new to the, South.-Columbia correspondent Au gusta Chronicle. An Unpopular National FashIon. Life.

Woman's Club of Raleigh Commends Thomas Dixon's Play, Soon to be Seen in Newberry. Special to The Herald and News. Raleigh, N. C., Oct. 7.-Thomas Dixon's statement that he would with draw "The Sins of the Father" from! the stage if a reputable body of Southern mothers declared the play immorial had an interesting sequel here today. One of the foremost social and literary women's organizations in the oSuth, the Fortntightly Review club of Raleigh, met in special ses sion after attending the matinee per-! formance at the Academy of Music.: Not only did they pronounce the play free from immorality but they voted as follows: "Resolved, That the Fort nightly Review club thank Thomas' Dixon for writing "The Sins of the Father." Its theme is treated with delicacy and power and it teachers a great moral lesson." Among the distinguished support ers of the resolutions were Mrs. Robt. R. Cotton, president of the National Mother's club; Mrsfi W. W. Kittchen, wife of the governor; Mrs. T. P. Jer man, president of the Raleigh Wo man's club; Mrs. Margaret Busby Shipp, widow of the first Southern of ficer that fell in the Spanish-American war, and Mrs. Josephus Daniels, presi dent of the State Daughters of the Confederacy. The academy was pack ed from pit to dome for the first per formance of the play in the North Carolina capital, and hundreds of out of-town patrons who had failed to get their tickets in advance were com pelled to .journey back home without having seen the drama. Thomas Dix-' on, the author, who is accompanying: the play on its tour throughout North and South Carolina, made two bril liant addresses in response to a dozen. curtain calls. ROOSETELT REPLIES TO CRITICS. Declares He Did Not Indorse Tarifl Plank--Admits He Could Not Carry Every Point. Atlanta. Ga., Oct. S.-Theodore R.oosevelt tonight disclaimed responsi 'ility for the tariff plank in the N2W York State Republican platform. In doing so he replied to criticisms whih have been directed against him, r,-r ticularly by some of the so-called "insurgent" Republicans in the West, and another kind in the East. This criticism was based largely on the fact that, while he did not indorse the Payne tariff law in any of his Western speeches, the tariff plank of the New, York Republican platform commend ed the bill. Col. Roosevelt made it clear in his speech tonight that he had not indorsed the Payne law, and that he did not agree with the New York tariff plank. He said that he would stand on his speech as tem porary chairman of the New York Re publican convention, in which he commended parts of the Payne law, but did not indorse it as a whole. Answers Reporters' Questions. Col. Roosevelt's speech was deliv ered at the Uncle Remus Day celebra tion here. He began his address with an appreciation of the life and works of Joel Chandler Harris, author of the Uncle Remus tales. Then he turn ed to his recently enunciated doctrine I of the new nationalism. "In speaking to you of the new na tionalism, I want at the outset to an swer publicly a question put to me this evening by a couple of your jour nalists, who asked me just how I rec onciled what I had said in the West with the tariff plank. I answered them that I did not reconcile it; that on that particular platform I must re fuse to be judged by what the plat form said, but which I myself said. Couldn't Carry Every Point. "You probably know we had quite a lively time at Saratoga. I was elect ed temporary chairman and served as such with reasonable efficiency before the platform was adopted. There were a number of men who voted for me for temporary chairman who were in harmony with me -on all the most vital points at issue, who yet disagree. with me on certain points, on one or two that I regarded as of great im portance. And so my speech as .temn 1.orary chai'rman put my position as~ accurately as language could put it, and on any point where what I sa:d i?. my address differs from what was stid in the platfrm it must be under stood that T 1. ersonally must be' judged by what I myself said in this matter of the .tariff plank. Fight for Democracy. "That fight, as I regarded it, was primarily a fight for the great funda mentals of citizenship. It was a fight against corruption, against what' is the absolute negation of Democracy, and that is, against bossism, and a fight for genuine popular rule. We carried the issue to a triumphant con clusion and in our platform embodied all three planks, and on that platformi as a candidate we put a man of un-i flinching courage and high and stain-' less character." REV. H. F. CHRIETZBERG DEAD. Former Newberry Pastor Dies in Niorth Carolina. Spartanburg, Oct. -10.-Dr. Hilliard Francis Chrietzberg died at his home at Monroe, N. C., this morning after two weeks' illness. He had typhoid fever and was thought to be getting on well until he took a turn for the: worse a few days ago. He was born in Georgetown, S.

Dr. Chreitzberg was an acceptable preacher and always prepared his sermons so as to get on without apolo gies or explanations. While at times he was very earnest and emphatic, he never got into pulpit tantrums and pranced aroubid and wilted collars: and mauled the book board. With quiet and becoming dignity. united with positive earnestness, he deliver ed his sermons in a clear, distinct voice. It was always a pleasure to listen to him. When XFan is a Cipher.
