1 Entered 91 the Postoffice at New-I: jbrry, S. C., as 2nd class matter. n E. H. AULL, EDITOR. a Friday, December 8, 1911. E The subscribers of The Herald and News whose time has expired should b renew promptly so as to receive every issue of the paper containing the stcry e which begins in the paper today. It is an intensely interesting story and f you will not care to miss any number, t and, in order to be sure to receive each issue, it is important to renew prompt- e ly, for sometimes we can not furnish ' .h back numbers. - The question of the place for the holding of the next National Demo cratic convention is being agitated. Ef- f, forts will be made to have the conven- s tion meet in Baltimore. We would be V very glad to see it held in Baltimore. The News and Courier says that the A cooking In Baltimore is the best in the United States, outside of Charles- f ton, of course, *and that Baltimore is within easy reach of the capitol and n a is cool in summer and besides is near a' a number of popular summer resorts. These things should have large weight 1i in settling where the convention is to t< be held. v MENACE OF GRADE CROSSINGS. The tragic death of that little school boy in Newberry last week, crushed to death beneath a Southern freight train, again brings to mind the hor rible m,enace of grade crossings in towns. So long as we neglect enforc- r ing the proper precautions, so long will -we be somewhat responsible for such things.-Greenwood Index. the thing is coming. Grade cross- t ing must go (except ia Newberry, iti 0 C seems).. N The toll of these grade crossings is a heavy one and will go on being heav- k ier from year to year, and they should Jp be abolished not only in the towns and t~ cities, but in the country as weill, and n no opportunity to be rid of them shouldh be a;l'lowed to knock at the door of the t public un.heeded. r S: Comptroller General Jones is get- pl . ting to be vigorous in his efforts to.3 hav'e those liable to the income tax ISi to come across. He is going to recoin- gs5 mend to the governor the removal of all 'auditors who do not compl-y with Jha his instructions. rc We are very much 'afraid that the ; governor will have several auditors to remove, if 'he obeys the recommend a-1g tion of~ the comptroller general. The >tax problem is' one of the most intri cate connected with the government, and we doubt very much if South Car 'olina was ready just yet for an in-b come tax law, but, of course. the best'N way to settle that question is to have the law enforced rigidly, if it can bes done. The income tax payers, how-1 it ever, or those liable to the income tax,1 are not the only ones who do not pay C their equitable share of the taxes. Ef- SI forts were made some years ago in the egislature to get through a bill' providing for an equitable assessment of property but it failed. A reform c of this kind must come slowly. at THE NEWS OF WHITIRE. la Everybody Enjoys Thanksgiving Tur key-Negro Goes to Gang-Need s: of Good Roads Emphasized.I be Whitmire, Dec. 7.-Mrs. H. L.

Slighs, Dec. 6.-The farmers through s section are pretty* well up with thering their crop an~d this has turn Sout to be the best cro'p that has en made in several years, especia'lly !cotton, which at one time loolked so scouraging. At the present price ire won 't be any profit made on -it >ugh. Farmers being so sure of cot n: being a good price that.4his pres t price puts business in a tough ape.
