Some of the newspapers in this State and in Georgia carried on Wed nesday a scurrilous attack by Thomas B. Felder upon Governor Blease. The iletter consists of billingsgate and nothing else-and we do not publish it because we do not believe it should find a place in the columns of a repu table newspaper. If there were any news in the letter, or if it were a re ply to the letters which Governor Blease has given out with the state ment that they were written by Feld er, we would publish it. But it is purely and simply a slinging of mud from the hog mire in which the writ er seemed to be wallowing at the time, and if this pronunciamento is characteristic of thq one whose signa ture it bears, the great State of South Carolina was in a very bad way when it ever retained him in its service or delegated to him any of its powers. The Herald and News shall strive to give both sides of every news matter. of interest to its readers which may arise, but we shall refuse to degrade the columns of this newspaper by the publication of any matter written Lp on the extremely low ana scurrilous plane of the Felder letter. Whoever might have been the object of Felder's spleen, it is a matter of regret that his flow of degraded invective should have found a place in any newspaper in South Carolina. | CO-OPERATION NECESSARY. While regretting the retirement of Dr. 0. B. Mayer as; president of the chamber of commerce, we desire to congretulate the organization upon the selection of Mr. I. H. Hunt as his successor. But the officers can do nothing without the support and co-operation of the members. It1. takes interest and work to do any ,thing. Let's get together and work for the chamber of commerce, and. through it the advancemnt of the in C terests of the city and county. The. secret of success in working for the up-building of a community is pull ing in the right direction and pulling together. That's what the chamber of C commmerce needs, and that's what Newberry needs. S SThe above is an editorial taken fromt The Herald and News of March 22,e 1910. It bears repeating at the be ginning of the new administration of the chamber of commerce under the I presidency of Mr. Jno. B. Mayes. Mr. Mayes is energetic, enthusiastic anad a s man of ideas, and has 'great faith in the future of Newberry. It takes a man of that kind to inspire faith and confidence in others. , We desire to assure Mr. Mayes that r The Harald and News is ready and r willing at all times to give him what tj assistance it can in promot-Ing those things which are for the betterment of b 'the community. At the same time, e Mr. Mayes just as well realize that he p has no .bed of roses and that he will not find his path altogether smooth. That is if he undertakes to do things. B We ,sincerely hope, however, that he ii will be able to rally around his stand- e: ard the best that is in Newberry, and i that 'his hand may be upheld in all o: efforts he may undertake for the de- ti velopment and progress of the ccm munity. ir IlE THE ONE THING ~NEEDFUL. Mr. I. H. Hunt, the retiring presi dent of the chamber of commerce, sub-p mitted a very exhaustive, and, at the iv same time a very practical address at t the annual meeting on Tuesday even- ti ing. All of his suggestions shouldw have the serious consideration, not at only of the members of the chamber bi of commerce, but of the citizens of t the community generally. .J The suggestions which .he makes te are all ae 2.c and if take ?s of adv - ~~ great deal for this community. None of them are impractical, but in order to carry them to a successful termin ation, there must be hearty co-opera tion of the entire community, and this is the one thing needful in this com munity. But even if you are not go ing to co-operate, you should at least put no stumbling block in the way of the advance of your town and ccunty. Very few people realize, as Presi dent Hunt says, the importance of the public library, and if the arrange ments could be carried out to unite this library with the chamber of com merce, it would be mutually benefi cial. The Herald and News has worn out a number of pencils and typewriters trying to place before the business men of the community the importance f a rest room. The same thing may be said of the importance of securing to Newberry the C., C. & 0. railroad ind the road from Augusta to Whit mire and the interurban trolley line, but if the people of Newberry sit down ind wait for these things to come, hey may be assured that they will %ontinue to wait for they 'are not com ing of their own volition. ~ The town that get things is the town that wakes ip and goes after them, and Newberry s not going to be the exception to prove the rule. If we expect to get :hese things which are suggested by President Hunt and which we can se ,ure, we have got to get together and wake up, and go after them. At one time it seemed that we could ;robably secure a hospital. Several if the physicians seemed interested Lnd it looked as if we had the thing within our grasp, but like a great nany other things, our enthusiasm roes out before we accomplish. The Y. M. C. A. building was agitat d about a year ago, and it seemed at ~ne time that something was going to ie done, but it too was only a dream. We are pleased that President Hunt ailed attention to the importance of o-operating with the Civic associa ion. That association started out1 yell, but we are told now that it is rupossible to get the officers to attend he meetings. President Hunt, in his remarks in he matter of the town and country 0-operating, speaks a. very plain and sportant truth, and we hope it will ear fruit. The most important thing for this ommunity at this time is for every usiness man to lay aside his personal gelings, his little prejudices, and pites, and be a man, a broad man, nd for all of the business men to get >gether and to cooperate, and then all lse will be easy. There is no doubt that nature has one as much for us as for any other omnmunity. We have a good town and good county and a good people, but~ omehow it seems that latterly it has een impossible to get rid of little fac ions and little prejudices and to rise p and be men. This is plain talk, but :is true and it is said for the pur ose of trying to point out to our com-, iunity the importance of co-opera .on. We hope that every citizen of New erry county will read carefully ev ry line of President Hunt's report. will pay you to do it. We are glad to know that (Governor lease has not undertaken to respond tkind to the invectives of Col. Feld -Col. Felder's use of ulgy adjec yes no doubt will tickle the appetites some people, but after all the ques on remains: Has Col. Felder con need the people by this style of writ tg that he was not the author of the tter or *letters published by Gover >r Blease? It seems to us that the legislat issed a resolution that in t;heir iude ent elective members of boards of ustees were violating the constitu on when they held their positions hile holding other positions. The torney general was requested to 'ng proceedings in the courts to set-* a this matter. Senator Tillman and to. G. Richards still hold their trus eship in Winthrop and Clnmson, and e av'e not seen where the attorney "1~'~ ~ proceedings. NOTICE OF ELECTION iN SCHOOL DISTRICT No. 14.
