Cl Entered at the Postoffice at New- t Gerry, S. C., as 2nd class matter. t E. H. AULL, EDITOR. Tuesday, November 7, 1911. f: t A good time after these rains to use the split log drag. It is the d cb,eapest and best way to secure and d retain good roads. There didn't seem to be much doing I in politics during the State fair last week. Judge Jones took the leap on f t some of the boys and they don't know just where they are at. --- tmp to The thing for the .farmers to do in the present situation is to sta-ll to gether and to uphold the reso'utioits adopted at the meeting in Co!rmbia s last week. c p b The corn exhibit -will be held in a Newberry on the 17th. The boys' con test, as well as the contest for the prizes offered. by the Farmers' union, ir will be at the same time. It is hoped w there will be a good exhibit. t< C The way to control the price of cot ton is to grow on the farm what you tj need for the farm and to make your M cotton a surplus crop and then to h grow all the cotton you can regard- s ti less -of the price. We nave said this a hundred times before, bat it is so true it will bear repetition. Look is around you and you can fnd practical h demonstration of its truth.' As a rule t the -all cotton grower never baakes any money when the price it up, and the farmer who follows the rule here stated makes a little %money even when the price is down. Resolutions about M bolding and curtailing and reducing e acreage are all right Dut the rule we c. give will beat them all. The Herald has .been watching 'with u a great deal of interest the experi- ~ -ments in other counties with rural ti policemen'ind 'Me have come to the c conclusiona -that it would be a good idea for the county commisioners to t provide rural policemen for Dillon. county. There is a great deal of -law lessness on the public highways that never comes to the attention of the a proper authorities and we believe that a couple of active and vigilant rural policemen would more than earn the salary they would receive from the. county. The speeding of automobiles and the reckless discharge of firearms, on the public highways are two nuis ances that should be. abated, and the only way to get after such off ders is to patrol the highways with mount ed officers. -We beliedie we voice the sentiment of two-thirds of the tax pay ers of the county in recommending to zhe county commissioners the em ployment of rural policemen and we should be glad to see the'board take the matter up at its next meeting. Dillon Herald. Some ten years ago when the editor( of The Herald and News was a memn- i ber of the legislature he introduced a .bill providing for a system of rural police for the entire State, but he was ~not able to convince the legislaturei that it wa.s the proper thing, and the i bill failed of passage. It was a good bili and should have been made a law. The purpose then was to have it take the place of the liquor constabulary. There is no reason why the people who live in the rural districts should not have the protection of a constabu lary, and the proper and most effec tive system would be a system cover ing the entire State. Of course the county constabulary is of value and will do good service, but a well organized force covering the entire State would be vastly more effective. FATALL2Y HURT IN COLUMWBIA. Blackstock Lady, Struck by Auto, Dies ] of Injuries. Columbia, Nov. 4.-Mrs. W. S. Ham iter, of Blackstock, was struck by an] automobile belongiLg to Mr. J.

MHE LONG ROLL" IS UNJUST SAYS XR.S. JACKSON A dispatch from Charlotte .says: rs. "Stonewall" Jackson's anticipat I article replyin gto Mary Johnson's iaracterizationi of her husband in rhe Long Roll" has appeared and is atitled "Stonewall Jackson, the Man." he article itself is about, two col mns and a half in length, and re-J lies in detail to several eccentrici es which Miss Johnston alleges of eneral Jackson. Ms. Jackson declares that the por -ayal of General Jackson's character "The Long Roll" is as "miserably njust and u.nlikenesslike" .as the hidect.s carricature" which is used s a frontispiece. The habit of jerk m his hand, and sucking lemons, says be writer, were unknown to her; but he tells a story to explain the dilap lated condition of the "old gray cap." Vhen in winter quarters, during the ast year of his life the general cut ie gold braid from his new cap and presented it to the young child of the amily whose hospitality he was ac epting. In respect to the "old dust olored clothes" the statement is made hat General Jackson's "mind was so holly occupied with, his arduous du es that he found no time to array imself in fine clothes--even forget ing that he was making himself con picuous in paying so little attention o dress." Several persons who knew eneral Jackson intimately are quoted contradiction to Miss Johnston's es imate. In his home life he is said to Lave been "a man of the highest cour esy, careful in dress and appearance s are all West Pointers, of great re inement of thought and speech, of un isual gentleness of manner and a over of children." "He was often mis.iugded as harsh end unjust by those who had less nowledge of military law," says his vife, "though his heart was really as ender as that of a woman. I re nember in one of my visits to Lex ngton, Va., General Lee said to me o sadly: 'Ah! Mrs. Jackson, if all our nen had done their auty as your hus >and did, the r-sr~t of the war would mave been very dhiferent.'" Mrs. Jackson asserts that she would it hayle undertaken to reply to a vork-of fiction, but that she could not emain silent after the interview of d1ss Johnson with a reporter of the 3altimore Sun, wherein she averred hat she was "absolutely corrects" FAMILY IN SUICIDE PACT. ~ather, Mo,ther and Sont Starve Them. selves to Death. Chicago, Nov 4.-Details of a ghast y suicide compact, inivolving a whole amily, were brought 'out by the po :c tonight after the discovery of the ~maciated forms of Herman Letschi, ,Jol And Ti GALA SIX DAY& COMMENCINI days. Followers of a rekgrous creed, sell promulgated, the parents had form ed themselves and their son- to dc without food to "purge their sinful souls of lust" until starvation wiped out the whole family. From physi cians' examination it was evident that the boy had been first to die. The Youth's Companion in 1912. No other paper is quite like The Youth's Companion.
