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.

* 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.

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.

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. But maybe I am wrong. rid
