Entered at the Postoffice at New berry, S. C., as 2nd class matter. E. H. AULL, MITOR. Friday, October 27, 1911 We wish all the people of Newberry could go over to Pickens and see how they work and keep up the roads in that mountainous section. It is a ipleasure to ride over them. The same is true of Greenville. The Spartanburg Journal says that the News-Scimitar at Greenwood does not know how to spell its own name. The Journal should remember that there is no fixed rule in the spelling of proper names. But maylbe the Jour nal does not consider this a proper name. Everybody and all the children should go to the State fair next week. The Southern railway will operate a special traid on Wednesday and Thursday, so thit you may go down in the morning and return the same afternoon. The C., N. & L. has such a train also. Rock HiH is to have a daily paper. Why not have one in Newberry. Won der if the merchants and business men of this city would give ay more en couragement and support to one now than they did some years ago, whel we made the experiment. A little pub lie spirit. and a pulling all together will move any town along. Mr. C. A. David had a very true cartoon, -if a horrible one, in the Greenville News the other day, in which he represented the "Bird man's'' unseen passenger as death. Some such personage seems to follow reckless driving of automobiles. It will 'con tinue to do som long as reckless driv-. ingis indulged in. The State Farmers' -union. bas called ameeting to be held in Columbia on the evening of November 2 to dis cuas the'.cotton situaion and to de vise ways and means to market the bl3ance of the crop and to see what can be'eet aivance dhe price. .This lea vetjimpor.tazt toestion for the 1armes of' the South. The ginner's reiport shows something over seven Sand a halt million bales ginned up to, October 18. If the crop hais been gin ned as it opened t.hat does not indicate a bumper crop, or even if ginned as. picked. A great mm.a of the counties are holding county -fairs and from the - newspaper accounits the fairs this year have been successful. Many years agoi Newberry had a splendid fai-r, which I was kept up.for several years. It was 'prolably -never.a financial success, -but the attendance was always good, and i *he exhibits were good, and the peo$ 1 pie g@t Wtbthr an~d Were eneQouraged to better farmning. It would be esierI taoakea uccessful fairnowin New.t ~ry than4t-wae then. We have of-11 ten wondered why our enterprising eiiesdid not rvive the old fair ideal *and have a fair in Newberry. The newspapers have been la:boring very hard to make it appear that Gov. Blease would oppose Senator Tillman for the senate next year, and also to make 'it appear that there - was a breach between Senator Tillman and .Gov. Blease. We hav-e never seen any-I thing that would warrant the asser tion that there was a breach or that Gov. -Blease -would oppose Senator Tillman. We suppose the idea was1 that by continuing to repeat it the! -papers would come .to -believe it them selves and would -make the people be lieve that there was some foundation iu fact for the Tumor. We see it stated in the Iiews dis patches from Anderson that Col. WIl liam Banks, formerly with thec St:ate, would go to Anderson on the first of Notember to take charge of the edi-, torial col'irns of the Anderson Mail.'

Does his going to the Mail mean that the State has acquired that property also? The State now owns or controls a string of papers from Columbia via Charlotte to Greenville, and we were a little Cu rious to know if it were going to in cluded the Mail in the synadicate. Of course, it is none of our business, and we hope the curiosity exhibited will not be considered impertinent. The county of Newberry is not pay ing current expenses now, for the rea son that there is no money. The leg islature has been, following the un business-like method of not providing a sufficient revenue with which to meet the current expenses of the coun ty. In fact, we understand that the revenue provided lasks about five thousand dollars annually of being sufficient to meet the expense account. It will not take long at this rate for the county to be pretty deep in debt. It will have to be paid. Then why not make the levy sufficient to raise the money necessary to pay the actual expenses of the county. There was a time, .ossibly, when the people could be fooled by telling them you had either not increased the levy or that you had reduced it and thereby reduced taxes. They can't be fooled now. They know the only way to re duce taxes is to reduce exipenditares and -unless this is done nothing is gained by putting off the day of reck ning-the day of debt paying. Then it is better for the county to be run -on bash basis. THE NEWS OF POXARA. Corner Stone Ne%T Lutheran Church Laid-Church to be Dedicated Next Sunday.
