Entered Pt the Postoffice at New berry, S. C., as 2nd class matter. E. H. AULL, EDITOR. Tuesday, February 28, 1911. OUR APPRECIATION. The Herald and News desires to ex press its appreciation of the services rendered by the young ladies who worked so faithfully in the contest which closed on Monday, We are also gratified that everything closed i so pleasantly. The three young ladies who did not secure first and second prizes may se cure a plate glass mirror each by call ing on: Mr. Jno. B. Mayes at the book store. The Herald and News was under no obligation to award these mirrors, but these three young ladies did go6d and faithful work, and we desire to show our appreciation in a substantial man ner. Our mailing list is now 2,100 and a little over, the largest paid-in-advance list The Herald and News has ever had. At one time, when we sold the paper on credit we had a few more names on the list than this. It shall be our purpose to publish the best semi-weekly in the State, and to that end all our energies will be exerted. At one time during the contest we took off 140 names. If all these have not been restored there is room for them, and a hearty welcome also. But when your time is out your paper is discontinued. Remember that. We are no respector of per sons in this matter. It is possible we may have made some mistakes in entering names, but Mr. R. H. Greneker, who is in charge of this department, is very careful and painstaking and it is remarkable how well he has been able to keep up with the work, and if he has made mistakes he will be glad to correct them. We would be g'lad to have corre spondents at Chappells, Little Moun-, tain, Silverstreet, Pomaria, and the -local happenings from all sections of Sthe county. It is our aim to make The Herald and News your paper. On the 7th of the coming March the Ipresent editor will celebate his 24th tyear with the paper ais part owner, Sbut really he was with it for two or three years before he secured an in Iterest. So we feel that it is our sil ver wedding anniversary, and you may send your silver 'doiiars along and help him to celebrate. Do not for a moment get the idea from this statement that he is old, for he is not, but is still one of the boys, and will Fcontinue to work for the advancement of this community. The Citadel lost a $25,000 appro priation, Winthrop, $20,000, and the * University of South Carolina, $16,000. The senate decided to do away with special appropriations for educational institutions. This is a step in the right direction. They shousld be sup ported, it is true, but there are too many schools in the rural districts that have to be closed before the ses Sion is over on account of the lack of funds. Something should be done for them. In this connection we might * say that there are many parents who secure free tuition for their children in State institutions by saying that they are unable to pay it, when, asa matter of fact, hundreds of them are well fixed financially.-Greenwood Journal. The Citadel and Winthrop didn't * lose. And there is where the gover nor made a mistake. He should not have discriminated..- It is true that the University has recently been~ granted a new building, but -so has Winthrop, and the Citadel. The need of one was scarcely greater than the need of any other in this matter. All of them might have waited without detriment. As to free tuition, very few parents Swho send their children to State col leges are "able" to pay tuition. We were told once that if we paid tuitioni we would be in the "lonely" class. The facts are that about ten p)er~ cent. pay tuition. This proportion; hc' 4 at Winthrop, the Univer Sh.~ :'~ -~ Clemson. At the Citadel we presume that all pay students actual ly pay. We believe that tuition charges should be abolished ror one reason if no other, to keep those parents whc "are well fixed financially" from mak ing affidavits that they are not able to pay. We are glad to know that Super visor Feagle is putting coping, around the county's land at the intersectior of Harrington and Martin streets, an4 in this way a nice little park can be made out of the triangle enclosed ir the coping. We understand this work is being done by the supervisor as thiq land is the property or the county There are otlier little plots of land in the streets that might be utilized it the same way and that are not need ed for travel, and which, if so utiliz ed, would add greatly to the beauty of the city, Why certainly Senator Tillman does not consider the holding of the posi tion of trustee and the office of United States senator a violation of the. law The senator has never been able to see any harm in doing whatever hE wanted to do.-Yorkville Enquirer. Why should he? Besides, he says .e was a member of the constitutional convdntion and he knows that the constitution doesn't mean what it says an this subject. This question is in order: Who are the best authority, tne men who fram ed the constitution, or those who did not? Who is the best entitled to say what +e constitution means, those who framed it or those who did not? Anderson Daily Mail. Which suggests the following ques tions: , 1. Why not burn up the constitution and when in doubt as to our funda mental law, apply to those who fram ed it? 2. Why not take away from the su preme court the power and the duty of pass-ing upon bonstitutional ques .tions, and submit all such questions to the framers of the constitution? 3. Why not let each men consider that to be constitutional which suits him? We have a faint recollection that in the not distant past there has been a noise from the Anderson MVail and other newspapers about laxity in the enforcement of law. Maybe they meant by law not what the written law says, but what Senator Tillman and other lesser lights think was meant to be law. The Herald and News does not send notices to subscribers whose time ex pires. The date of the expiration of each paper is pri.nted on the paper after the 'name. All of our subscrip tions expire either on the 1st or the 15th of the month. Tomorrow is the 1st of March a:nd all subscriptions which expire on the 1st of March, if not renewed this week, will be taken from our mai.ling list. Please examine the date on the la el opposite your name and see if rour subscription expires on the 1st, and if it does send in your subscripation dur ing 'this week as our mailing list is corrected on Saturday. If you do not receive a paper you may know that your time has expired. We are anxious to retain all of our su'bs-cribers, and to that end we 'are giving this notice. The Herald and News has been very liberal in. the use of its columns for in memoriams and tributes of respect. We are anxious and willing to print niotices of deaiths and marriages so long as they contain a news value, but tributes of- respect and in memoriams by friends and societies do not pos sess a news value, and we do not think 'that it is right to expect the n,ewspaper to carry these items free of cost. Before adopting the pay bas is we want to give notice so that everybody may be treated in the same way. Hereafter we will charge for these notices at he rate of 25 cents per inch, which is about 4 cents a line, and we hope that everybody will take notiCe of this and be governed ac rordingly. We know how to sympathize with those who have lost loved ones and we do sympathize wie , but when It conies to tr~'~ resolutions by societies and others, if these societies desire to publish such resolutions, we feel that they ought to be willing to pay for them. * * * * * 2n * * * * * * * * * * 1** * THE IDLER. * * * * * * * *~ * * * * * * * * * * I am still in a meditative mood, and I have oeen meditating on some of the actions of city council. I havell often wondered why the city council passed an ordinance and then would give permits to have it violated. There is an ordinance, so I have been told, which is denominated the "fire limits." Now, I have always been under the impression that this meant that with in these "limits," no wooden build Ings were to be erected. And yet it seems, that whenever any body desir ed to build within these limits all he had to do was to get a permit. NoV the thing that has been worrying my meditating apparatus is why have the ordinance if permits are to be given ad libitum. It seems to me that there ought to be some sort of an ordinance by which some of the old useless fire traps that now stand I within these limits cud be torn down instead of giving "permit" for the erection of more of the same kind. I am very much pleased to note from the proceedings of council that no I more "permits" are to b:e granted. -0 That reminds me that the old burn ed and chaxrred building, or that which was once a building, still stands in Friend street near the union station, a thing of beauty. and a joy forever. And those beauty spots still rear their proud heads in lower Main street. And there are oth'ers nearer the business centre of the city that. look to me like they would make good fuel :or the flames. Why not get to gether with the owners of these hulls and take them down. -0 I was reading and thinking on other proceedings of city council, as printed in the last issue of The Herald and News. One thing I did not exactly understand. If I am not mistaken, I have not the paper before me, but it seems to me the repo:rt said that one mnember of council had made the remark that this present council was-. elected to repeal the ordinance far bidding wagons and teams to -stand on the upper public square, or words to that effect, or that the country people so understood it. Ge! whiz! Now isn't that a proposition. I am a coun trymnan and come in contact with thema myself and that alderman must undo'ubt,edly ' be laborin.g under a grave mistake. "There its no crying out amongst us countrymen for thef' repeal of this ordinance, but we would like to see, as one al-derman is report- I ed as saying, the hbusiness men of Newberry get togeth'er and pay us the i top noth for our cotton and cotton ' seed and then we countryme~n will come to see you. 1] Another thing the council and busi ness men might' consider and that is i the arrangement of a convenient rest room for the ladies who come in from the country. They have no place where they can go to warm in the winter, or to refresh th'emselves. -0 That autoniobile stopping ordina'nce is also a dead letter. City council should have it published in the city papers. A man told me that he heard a m'an say that the :reason it was not C -enforced is because it has not been I published and a city ordinance does t not have :the force of law until it has been printed. I am no lawyer and, a of course, don't know, but if that is E the case it should be published. The intersection of Caldwell and Main streets is a very dangerous place to run on:e of these machines fifteen or twenty 'miles an hour and it will be too late to lock the stable after some one hais been killed or crippled. Another thing tihat surp,rises me in e my meditations is that city council wan1ts so long to order that light putc up at the union depot. It will not be* a long before we will have free street" lights and it will not cost a great T' deal to have this light put up. Presi dent Finley has given permission to I put it up, the light has been ordered, F the commissioners will put it up. It . is squarely up 'to council to carry into effect its former action. Why wait. Personally it makes very little dif ference to me whether any of my sug gestions are heeded. I know they are made for the good of the town and I know that I have no selfish purpose. -0 It is well to meditate, to muse, to think, to know you are right and then to go ahead. That is an old proverb, but it is a good one and a true one. It would 'be a good thing for some~ people I know to observe this good old proverb. They would not have to reconsid er so often. Then they would "-obablv save many heart-aches and~ 'nany clashes that are not necessary :o make. -0 This has been a delicious climate Eor the past two months. The far rers -are busy and now the city people :>ught to get busy and get. together ind make this town inviting to the ,ountry people and lorery for the town people. We have everything to -make is happy. Happiness is from within. As a man thinketh so is he. Think right and you will be right, and then rou will do right. -o I heard a man say the other night hat he heard a lecturer say that this vorld would never be worth anything intil the world regarded the man who abored and earned an honest living lust as good as the man who had his nillions and rode in his automobile. ell, that ought to be thi case now, )ut as I meditate I sometimes doubt. iou know, it is a fearful thing to loubt and I try very hard to keep rom doubting. You know that it is in old and a true saying that the man ,vho rides in the chariots today and rolls in luxury, may tomorrow be hoving the wheelbarrow. It is also rue that the final result of all flesh o far as this world is concerned is the ame. The rich and the poor all strike i common evel. In that day nothing !ounts but character-what you really tre and not what you seem. Then why should any one be "stuck up" ,ven if he has a little more money :han some one else. Let every one, ret together. Each has his sphere md it is his duty to fulfil his mission. The Idler. [OWN AND TOWNSHIP BOA)RD OF ASSESSORS FOR 1911.
