Entered at the Postoffice at New 4erry, S. C., as2nd class atter. E. H. AULL, EDITOR. Tuesday, September 26, 1911. Mr. J. L. 0. Thompson has sold the Pickens Sentinel-Journal to a com pany and retires from the field. Mr. C. E. Robinson is t, be the editor and manager. The defeat of reciprocity in Can ada has put up the price of wheat and increased generally the cost of living and everybody down this way was sat isfied that it cost a sufficient amorlt already. Senator Till'man has told the boys that he will be in .the running next year if he is living and even if he were not he would let them vote for him. And you just as well stay off the track if the old racer is living for he will clean it up. 4 The story started out from Coluin bia that Gov. Blease was going to remove Mr. E. J. Watson and give his place to Mr. James Norton. Gov. Blease said he knew nothing aboat it except what he saw in tle n(w6 papers, - . Out-of-State papers are continually referring to the political excitement in this State. We fail to notice any of it around in thesie parts.-Geenville Piedmont ?. - Do not these out of State papers get their information and their news of State affairs from in State cor- I respondents? And then the papers of the State have already discussed and settled te next gubernatorial electiTn. Had. you not notiAed that? The farmer is a fine fellow and a necessary plement .in the great com mercial life of -the country until he asks that the price of his main crop be lif,ted a .litte, a.nd then he is a liliputlan in importance.-Chai-lotte Observer. So much more the beason why he should become .Independent and not be following tlhe lead of t!ese political farmers who go around and tell the fmers what to do. The thing they are hunting is .the job and they gen erally get it. One reason why some farmers can't hold their cotton Is because the cot 1on belongs to their creditors.-Char-' lotte Observer. Then you spoke a great trutih and one we have been ,trying to inculcate for many years. Cotton con.venitions and mass meetinigs will n.ever solve the problem. The farmer must be come independent If he wants to hold the key to the situation. And what is the use going on maiking cotton when it costs more to make it than he gets for it? Chief Justice Jones was at one time editor of the Newberry Herald and News, which is now a Blease organ, but we thinmk we shall vote for him for governor just the same.-Ander son Daily Mail. The Herald and News is not any body's organ. It has not been so many years ago, however, when Mrrj Jones and Mr. Blease were on thie same side of the political fence and grazing in the same political pasture. That was some -years after he was connected with this newspaper, how ever. If we are not mistaken, Greenville was the first city to pass an ordinance prohibiting useless automobile noises. Spartanburg ha.s since adopted a sim ilar ordinance and now the Columbia Record is calling for the adoption of one in Columbia. Greenville leads and1 the others follow.-Greenville Pied mont. It is easy enough to pass ordinan ces, but how about enforcing them? We would not care .to havle any more ordinances until we see some of them enforced. No criticism of the police officers. They can do only as they are directed by those to whom they owe their positions. "Who will be the first progressive citizen to give $5,000 to the play grouind mov)n-.ent?' This is not ask ed of any One in Newberry. We 1would be afraid of heart failure if we were to suggest any such amount to any of our good and progressivel citiz--ns. The Charleston Post asks it. But why not some of the good people of Newberry who have made their money here come across and help th-e Idler's park. It would be a good investment and we have a num ber of good people who could give a good big sum and never miss it and at the same time do a good deed. It I might not cause heart failure. We feel much satisfaction in the prospect of Blease running for gov ernor against one man who is the choice of the opposition. The News is confident that with only the two in the race, Jones will defeat Blease by a large majority. It is also our opinion that Jones is only one out of a dozen men in the State either of whom alone in the race with Blease could defeat him. This is our candid view of Blease's strength.-Greenville News. Why should there be a desire to confine the running for governor tol only two. Is this not a free country amd can't as many as desire enter the race. Let Richards and Hyatt and Manning and McLeod and Duncin and all the rest who are so inclined get into it. By the way, we judge from Duncan's paper that he is going in the race for governor. "A system of interstate highways built according to a standard uniform width and maintained in the best pos sible condition at all times of the year, a campaign toward the elimina tion of dangerous curves and death inviting grade, crossings in addition to other matters- regarding the im provement and maintaine*e of high ways were among the more important recommendations made by the federal and State highway commissioners, who took part in the thre days tour and conferences last week in New1 York, Massachusetts and Connecticut, conducted under the auspices of the Touring club of America." - It must come to that and is comingji fast. Grade crossings must go, and we are so anxious to see Newberry 4 lead ,in at least one forward movement that we have i.nsisted on the change between Newberry and Little Moui tan. We do not like to see our coun- a ty come trailing along behind when1 we have~ such a fine opportunity to lead a movement that is on the way and at a time when it will cost us a minimum. That. was a very enthusiastic meet- ( ing of the farmers in the court house on Monday, and it was a representa- , tive meeting as well. If the' price of cotton had remained around 12 cents and a meeting had been cal,led the attendance would probably l\ave beeni small. The point we 'desire to m,ake is .that the farmer will not be aroused 1 and try to look,after his interest until he is forced to 'do so. Another point' Is that it is useless to talk about regu lating,the price of. cotton ,until the farmer can take his cotton and throw 2 it under his ;shed and sit on .It and say: "This is my cotton. It.cost me 14 cents a pound to make it. I must have 15 cents. If you want It at that price, Mr. Manufacturer, you can < have it. If not it can remain here. It ]i belongs to me." Until then it will not amount to much to hold meetings 1 and pass resolutions. This is plain talk but it is true talk and we just as we.l understand the situation. You can not do~ as you please with your cotton when you owe some one else for it. Some newspapers like to hiarp on the idea that a man who holds an of fice and aspires to anothe~r should re-1 sign the one he already holds. There is no rhyme or reason or even sense in this idea. A man holding a posi tion in civil life and desiring a better one does not quit his present job un til he has secured the one desired. He would be a fool if he did. The idea that he should act otherwise with a public office unless his candidacy in terferes with the performance of his duties is just one of those slushy things that in some way gain expres sion from the minds of people who ought to know better.-Spartanburg Journal. Of course there is no rhyme or rea-k sn in reigning before vou et thet other job, but the act of resigning was accorded to Judge Jones as an ac1 of great patriotism and self sacrifice Of course, when one goes after an other job and gets it. he should then lay down the one i held and not try to have a monopoly of offices, but there is no use to give up one "holt" until you get a good grip on another. For if you did, you might be a states man without a job. "The real estate owner should favor good roads because they would en hance the value of his property. The farmer should favor them because they will make it easier for him to cultivate his crop and market his produce. The merchant and business man should favor good roads because they will bring them more business. The profekonal man should favor good roadg,because if the community is prosperous he will stand a better hance in the community. The labor ing man should favor good roads be ause they mean more jobs and bet ter wages. We don't know of a class >f citizens that good roads would not benefit. The quickest and most ef 'ective way, to get good roads is by jonds. When you have an opportu ity, vote for bonds for good roads vnd help make your county second to ione in the State." 'The above is from a North Carolina aper. It is true and is worth while hinking about even if you do nothing )ut think, because if you think along he right line long enough you will )egin to act righ.t after awhile. We lave remarked time and again on the Ldvantages of good roads and every ne will agree as to that, but the luestion of getting them is the thing. hese North Carolina people are right. Phe only way to do it right is by a )ond issue. That is the fair and equi able way to build them, and it gives rou the roads in th6 present genera ion. Everybody favbrs good. roads. t is not a question of favoring them, ~ut-a question of being willing to pay or them. And no better paying in estment could be nmee for all classes f our citizens than money invested in ood roads. They are coming, only e would like to see them come in ur day and generation.

For an hour or longer at about dusk n Thursday the autumnal equinox ~roke in an e2ectrical storm of great iagnitude in Newberry. The storm ng reigned supreme and from his rone flashed forth the lightning and ealed the thunde'r tones in a fierce attle of the elements that struck ter or to the 'hearts of the nervous citiz s. The storm raged with fury s e wind and the rain met and mingled rlth the incessant bombardment of he electric current to the accompa iment of the roar of the thundering omonade. The canopy of old Jupiter 'luvius seemed to have been rent as nder and the stars that "pin down e curtain of the night" to have lost heir bearings. While the storm was ~rand in its dis-play it was awful in' s vividness to the frighten-ed behold rs. Seconds seemed minutes to many huddled househohl as the forked ngues of the deadly bolts from the urcharged atmosphere leaped in ev ry direction and~ enveloped the very~ arth in a blinding embrace while the ud claps in terribly quick succes ion rolled in mighty reverberations the four corners of the disturbed nd startled space. For a while it vas unabated in intensity, as flash ucceeded fiash so rapidly that It eemed to be one continuous flow with vhich the thunder seemed int-ent on ollowing up in rapidity and velocity. ot soon to be forgotten is the electri al display of September 21, the au umnal equinox of 1911. Although it was very much of a tormn, and covered a general area, no asualties are reported. The greatest tamage heard of was the burning of e new barn of Mrs. Minnie Cald well, n her place near Mt. Pleasant hurch, by the lightning. Th vari& exp-ienes of all whoj were caught in the storm would doub less fill a book. Mr. Stanmore Langford, whose du ties at the office of the. Southern Pow er company keep him there of night says the popping of the lightning o the wires was terrific, and that it wa trying on the nerves when the light went out. Stanmore proved that h cculd stand more than many anoth man, for more than one mar. woul have gone out when the lights wer out. He says that what weighed th most with him and gave him the mos comfort and consolation in that, hou of gloom was that Mr. John Goggan< Jr., told him that such a place was th safest place he could be in during a electrical storm. However it was nc pleasant "in the gloaming when th lights were dim and low," and put ou of business by a power which no ma or set of men can control in its fur or defy the onward right of way i earth or sky. Mr. Goggans was with Stan tha night. It was off night for Mr. Ton Hutchinson, as he and Stan take turn. at the office. Stan says it was good thing John was with him, as h trusted in the Lord and John Gog gans that night. He didn't like th( way the lightning played with th< wires. The storm damaged at least a hun dred of the telephone wires, but ow ing to the excellent service of th( Newberry -branch of the Southern Bel Telephone company the damage wai soon remedied.
