Entered at the Postoffice at New berry, S. C., as 2nd class matter. E. H. AULL, EDITOR. Tuesday, January 17, 1911. Newberry: The city that does things. It was stated in the papers Satur day that the first week of the legisla tive session had seen about 200 new bills poured into the legislative hop-, per. Of course. a great many of these will never become law, but at this Tate the record of 1,000 new measures for the session will be bfoken. It would be a good idea for the legisla ture to have a committee to pass upon the new measures and not have dupli cates introduced so frequently, espe cially this early in the session. The Herald and News is a modest newspaper and doesn't often speak of itself, but we desire to express. our appreciation of the efforts that are be ing made by the young ladies who are ix the contest to win that $425 piano, and we wish that every one could se ,ere it. Yesterday we received 80 new eubscriptions, paid for in advance. That was a pretty good record for one day. The Herald and News will soon be back to its ofiginal list of 2,300. When 7e bad that list however, we were probably giving the paper to 600 *r 700 people who did not pay for it then and bave not paid since. When we get back this time we will be there with a paid-in-advance list. We are printing for this issu! over 1,900 wopies, and at the rate the new ones are coming in, it will take only a short -time to reach the 2,300 mark. THE PARK. It iis our intention to give the peo ple'of Newberry an opportunity dur ing this week of establishing the park to 'which regerence was made in our last issue. We propose to submit the question to those who desire to have a part in this good 'work for Newberry D * It will purch8 Shoes, the rel tein fr of the chasin more, This is n such a manner that they may see Lnd know just exactly the conditions ipon which it is proposed to estab ish this park. We very much hope hat there will be no opposition to it Lnd that those who do not feel like -ontributing of their means, may con ribute of their moral support and en ,ouragement. This is a matter which will be of ,reat and lasting benefit to all oir yeople and we propose to have the >lans so arranged that every one may >e able to have an oppoftunity in the stablishing and building and main :enance of this park. We believe that the people of New >erry realize the importance of a city park, and we are pleased to state that ;o far we have not heard the slightest ypposition, but bvery one with whom we have talked seems enthusiastic. WOULD LEAD TO ABSURDITY. We do not see the necessity nor the wisdom for the bill introduced by 3enator Summers making it a mis iemeanor for a member of the legis ature or any other State officer to be n the employ of a public service cor portion, To carry out this idea to its Last analysis would prevent anybody Lrom accepting office who had any >ther position or occupation. It is .rue, that legislation affecting public ervice corporations comes up for ,onsideration. It is also true that Legislation affecting the medical pro ession, the newspaper profession and he farming profession frequently ome up for consideration, and it would be just as reasonable to con hlude that men receiving their daily read in these other occupations and professions would be inclined to leg islation for them, as it is to presume that men who are in the egmploy of public service corporations would not be honest in dealing with matters of legislation afecting them. In other words, to; carry this idea to its last analysis would prevent anybody serv ing as a legislator who hield any other position or had any other occupationi la civil life. The constitution of 1895 makes it vry clear that a member of the legis EL pay. you to del se of all Dry 4 Clothing,, etc. :urn of Mr. I. L. om the Home American Casi g Company, in Maryland. all we can a EL lature shall not hold any other posi tior under this State or under the United States except notary public or a place in the militia and goes on to say that if any member of the legisla ture shall exercise any of these posi tio,s of honor or profit his seat in the legislature sha.ll be declared va cant. This provision of the consti tution is ignored by the legislature, because a number caf its pres'ent mem bers are holding other positions un die)r this State. Work for a public service corpora tion is not a position under the gov ernment, but a great many people oc cupy these positi:ns -as a means of living, -and we do not see why they should be deprived of the right to do so and at the saine time serve their State as legislators. Besides, these public service corporations, at which Mr. Summers' bill is directed, are very large contributors to the treas ury of the State in that they pay a very large amount of taxes. Senator Summers, if he so desires, may find some members in his own chamber who are today violating the State constitutioc. It would be a good idea for the general assembly to see to it that its own members obey and respect the fundamental law. White Man Shoots Negro. George Dominick, a young white man, Friday evening shot Willie Mitchiell, a nlegro, and probably fatally wounded him at Helena. Dominick was given a preliminary by Magis trate Chappell and was granted bail in the sum of $500. The negro was sent to a hospital in Columbia. 1 Do you want to know who is going to win The Hevald and News' piano?
