Entered at the Postoffice at New berry, S. C., as 2nd class matter. E. H. AULL, EDITOR. Tuesday, May 2, 1911. We notice that Governor Blease is making inquiry of the cost of running State colleges and also the cost of running denominational colleges. If he desires this information for com parison, he will no doubt find that dominational colleges are run at a great deal less cost per pupil than are the State institutions. Dr. C. F. Williams, who has re signed as secretary of the State board of health, has done a great work for the office during his term of only four years, and it is a great pity that there is not sufficient funds available to in duce Dr. Williams to remain in this work. He has done possibly more than any other one man in the State in the matter of handling contagious and infectious diseases and informing the people as to preventive measures. Announcement is made that Wil lowbrook park will open Thursday -evening of this week. We regret tnat -we can not annouL..e that the park on the east side will be ready also, but we h9pe that it will not be long before we can* begin work, at least, on making this park ready. - The subscriptions are not coming in as rapidly as they should, and we hope that those who have not yet sub scribed will let us have their sub scriptions without delay. We regret to learn that our old friend, Col. T. B. Crews, of the Laur ensville Herald, has been quite sick for some days. A letter from hisI daughter, Mrs. J. F. Bolt, states that his condition now is somewhat im proved, and it is 'hoped that he will be able to be out again soon. We shall regret exceedingly if he is not a2ble to attend the approaching meeting of the South. Carolina Press association. For twenty years of our connection .with the association, we do not recall that he was absent from any meeting. It was stated sometime ago that. Attorney General Lyon would' not un dertake to pursue further his prose-: cution of the grafters in view of the fact that Major Black had been par doned. A very thoughtful farmer of this county requests us to say to Attorney General Lyon that it is not his busi ness to be concerned about the par doning of people. but that it is his duty to carry out his pledge and when he has convicted those guilty of crime, he has discharged his duty, and that it should be no concern of his, as an officer, whether those convicted are pardoned or not. - We notice from our exchanges that the 30 days within which Col. Tom Felder announced he would furnish the press of the State something in teresting, have expired and there is nothing yet from Col. Felder, except a letter ,from his la.w firm making claim for more fees. We were- of the opin ion when his invective appeared,. which The Herald and News declined. to print, that Col. Felder was very much of a bluffer, and we really did not expect anything from him except abuse, because when a man goes into the use of such language as he fired at the governor the chances are that he is endeavoring to cloud the issue. .There is one thing that we would. be pleased to have someone give us information on. We understand that the present dispensary commission is really the same commission with dif ferent personnel. That is, it is work ing under the same law and the same statutes. If tho commission before the change of thr personn-l had - thoityto invstigat e. Why- is ir tha the oresent comnuiof~in has no0 aui thority? We do not recall any cha1ngre was made in the law and, in fact, the authority to pursue the investigation taken away from the commission? We see no reason to quarrel with the .governor or with the State treas urer or with anybody else about the loan which the State had to make in ,order to meet current expenses. The fact that the money was secured at 3 per cent. should be satisfactory tol everybody. That is a lower rate than the State is paying on her bonded in debtedness, and much lower rate than any individual can borrow money, and it seems to us that we should all be satisfied that our officers were able to secure money at such a price. The regret is that the State should be forced to borrow so large an amount to meet current expenses, and espe cially in view of the fact that the as sessed value of the property is gra dually increasing, and the levy is also increasing. 1* * THE IDLER * I have been holding my breath and my pencil, too. But, tmy, ain't that fellow Bill Ewart helping out my park. If these old fellows in town who have the money don't see the point they must be past recall. -0 And yet, when I look over the sub scription list, as printed in The Her ald and News, I am persuaded that we will have to call on the little fel lows and keep on calling on them until we find about one thousand. And I belleve they are here. Suppose we make a people's park out of it. Well, it is coming. The park id-ea is tak ing all over the country now and ev ery town of any consequence is mak ing arrangements to build a park, if there is not one already, and The Id 7r's park for Newberry is a dead sure thing. I didn't tell you why I was holding my 'breath and my pencil as well. I wanted to wait until the park asso 'Nation was organized and I wanted to see it before the spring time came. Still we can go ahead and get start ed and when the association is organ. ized and it is settled that the park is comning, and coming right now, tliere will be people all over this goodly town jumping over one anco ther asking the privilege. of having a part in it. Well. I say let them come along. TPhey can't take away from us the honor of having set the wheels in miotioni, and it is results I am work ing' for, and not honor or credit. I am too old for that now, and, in fact, too old to get much personal enjoyment out of the park, but the satis.faction of~ knowing that I have been instrumen tal in ai small way of making others n happy will be joy enough for an old person. -0 By the way, I see from the papers that they camer very close to three rot automobile accidents in one week in the Newberry. And the stop signs have ha been put up, and the editor says that th( the officials are anxious to have the Ihe: drivers of cars observe the law. That ya: is all very nice, but the law is made mnc for people to obse.rve it; and if they wi won't, wihy, well, it seems to me that tis it is then up to the officers to see and m to do; if not why not? Will some oneev please tell me? pl< By the way, I 'walked around town a little the other day-I can't ride as! have no chauffeur--and none of those rei who have chauffeurs will be so good sk: as to ask me to ride with them, and Ithe I see them every day with vacant sh< seats and I am so tired, but nary in-, vel vitation do I get-well, it is all right mhe for I am sorter afraid of some of: thE them anyhow-but I started to say is: that I walked around town a little the poi o-ther day-the weather was so lovely rex ~and I was so surprised to note so pic many fine fields of cotton and c0.rn a right here in the city. I see IDenion- ion strator Duncan in town now and Cal again and I stqpose he has work-ed sht uxp some demonstration acres in the not ~ity limits. I guess it is a good thing, .or but, you know, I would rather see tha ome of our city residents giving Hu ;ome attention to flower gardens and me .awns and leave the growing of cotton Tha mnd corn to our farmer friends in the on :ountry.
