Entered xt the Postoffice at New berry, S. C., as 2nd class matter. E. H. AULL, EDITOR. Friday, February 10, 1911. Do th people of Newberry want a troll'ey and the interntn? Then the Southern Power company should come here. Columbia turned down the Southern Power Company and Greenwood sub scribed liberally to get the company in and Greenwood will be distribuuingi station. To those editors who say that those who take the position that it is viola tion of the coilstitution to hold two positions, and especially the job of trustee and legislator, is spite and po litical, we commend the old proverb: "Honi soit qui mal y pense." Mayor Langford assured us one day this week that city council would put up that lamxp in Friend street near the union station at once, which we sup pose means now. It is needed this rainy, muddy weather, to avoid the mud holes. To the Newberry Herald' and News and the Charlotte Observer: "Chester certainly can," and if you don't be lievie it ask Vice-President Lee or Sec retary Harrison of the Southern Pow er company.-Chester Lantern. This is. one case in -which we admit that Chester not only can but does, where Newberry doies not. The South ern Power company will tell you that Newberry can't. Some one has said that Columbia is the wickedest city in the State. Which may be due to the fact that the legis tatutre meets there every year.. We don't ibelieve the natives in Columbia, if left to themselves, wou:ld be any worse than the natives of such towns as Newberry and Larn.Saa * ~ barg Herald. 'And this from $par'tanburg, the ctty of census returns! Veri3y, ver-ily, "the wicked flee when no man pur sueth." We notice that Col. W. H. Hunt, of 1Newherry, in a speech' in Anderson county in the interest of education, after commending the people of An derson, referred to Newberry college as "a shining 'light to the people of Newberry. There are about one hun d>red graduates from that institution scattered trough the country." We suggest that Col. Hunt get his figures 'more nearly correct as to the num ber of 'graduates of New-berry college. There are nearer five hundred scat tered through the country than ong hundred. *Says the Columbia Daily Record's University of South Carolina corre spondent: "There will 'be sounds of revelry by night in the gym. Friday at 9.30 p. m. To the swelling strains of the Colum bia. orchestra thie midwinter german will be danced. . . . At the proper time the light fantastic toe will be suspended 'for a dainty supper." Wonders never cease. Tastes change with the "progress of the suns." We are interested in knowing whether or not it will be amputated before the dainty repast is -indulged in. APPOINTIIENT OF JUDGES. Gov. Bleas6 in a message to the legislature contends with a -great deal of force that the constitution contem plated :that appointments of judges should be made by the governor, and that 'he should not only appoint them but select them, and, 'of course, if this is correct the statute can -not takE away from him a right bestowed b3 the constitution. The Yorkville En quirer, a calm and dispassionate news paper, and which, by the way, strong ly opposed Mr. Blease politically, said before Gov. Blease's message to th zen-eral tS assebly in regard to thi constitutionail question: "But we have not been inclined t side against the governor in this mat ter. We are rather disposed to thin1 in what he has done, if not in what hc has said, he is entirely defensible. AM we ' .< tiready explained, we thini +ha m cntitution contemplatei shoul be made by the governor, and if this be true, that authority and dis cretic,n can not be taken away by a mere act of the general assembly. ' "Whatever else may be said of Gov ernor Bl.ease, he has proven through long years of actual practice that he is the strongest parliamentarian in the State. At least this is true so far as our humble judgment goes, and the record is open to show for it self. "It is not surprising that such a thorough parliamentarian should be a great stickler for regularity, nor that he -h4uld as governor, be extremely jealous of his prerogatives, and ac cording to our way of thinking in our view of the case, we- woul not nave blamed him for making his own selec tion ev.: if he had been aware that the chief justice had previously acted. "But as we have remarked, this is sue has not been settled. The ground of contentio n1has merely been remov ed by elimination of the conditions which brought the issue about. "The question rEmains as much alive as it has ever been, and we are inclined to the opinion that it is lia ble to break out in a new place the very next time there is another spe cial judge to appoint. "If friction is to be avoided next time, it seems to us that it will be just as well for the chief justice to consult the pleasure of the governor and see if a mutual agreement can not be arrived at in advance of an nouncements." THE POWER FRANCHISE. We feel that city council has made a serious mistake in. refusing to grant the franchise desired by the Southern Power company. As we see it, there cquld have been no danger to the city, wit4 the com pany limited to contracts 'above 100 horsepower, thus .cutting out all com petition with the city plant. The com pany, as we understand it, was will ing to te prohibited from. selling for re-sale or distribution. The benefits to the city generally would not have been as great as under a franchise fix -inig a maximum pate and throwing open service to all the citizens in any I quantity desired, but since the South ern Power company would 'not accept 4e eximi'au ra4 proviso, why not have accepted thie oth'er proposition, and have sreceived some of the bene fits? Under it, the mills coutld have used the power, and the gentlemen in charge of these mils have pro,ved themselves able 'to take care of thlem selves in the business world without the aid of guardians. As~ to The city plant, it could not be acquired by the power company un less the city so decided, and that would 'have ;been a matter which could very well have been d.etermined by the city in, the future, if the Southern Power companiy desired the city.plant. Certainly, acting under the 100-horse power proviso, the city plant would 'have been absolutely siaf'e in charging whatever rates it desired, and the cit izensi would ~ha.'e continued to be helpless. In this day and time, anyway, s'ome people 'are 'beginni..g to realize thai a corporation is not organized for the sole purpose of 'grinding people intc a jelly, but for the purpose of -3raking~ money, and no corporation is com ing here and put up The price of powei s:o 'high that the people couldn't stanc it. Corporations very rarely commi1 suicide. And then there is a publi< service commission having the righ1 to fix rates. But this is aside fron the issue. No such question couli have been involved un'der the fran chise which the Southern Power co'm Ipany asked, because only those tak ing power in quantities greater thai one 'hundred horseiower would hayi been affected. Steam is a very livi competitor when it comes to powe: furnished in this quantity, even i those buying power to the amount 0 100 horsepower were not able to taka care of themselves. In Memory of Mr. Jno. A. Graham. Mr. Jno. A. Graham, of the Po maria section, died at his home, afte: a brief illness. Wednesday afternoor' January 25. 1911, aged 53 years, si: months and 29 days. He leaves lonely widow and fiv sons, Jas. L *Willie L., Oscar. Eddie and Marvir also an aged mother and hosts a friends to mourn his departure. H *was a devoted member and official il the Methodist church, and a most use *ful man in the community. To do fo ot.hers was his g- c.igt Hi ~ ed for there. No man was ever more fond of children than this good man. He will, theriefore, be missed by both old and young. While we are sad and sorrowful, we do not moIurn as thaose that have no hope, but are rec onciled to the fact that those "who die i: the Lord are blessed." Thou hast said, "Come unto me all ye that are weary and heavy laden, and I will give you rest." We miss thee dear one, yes, we miss thee, Standing on this dismal shore, But 'tis Jesus who has called thee, And His will is best, wei know. M. L. G. Whitmire Circuit Appointments.
