Entered at the Postoffice , + berry, S. C., as 2nd class matter. E. H. AULL, EDITOR. Tuesday, February 27, 1912. One of the items vetoed by Governol Blease in the appropriation bill, wa: $15,000 for improvements at the asy lum. We understand that during 191: about $30,000 was spent in improve ments at the asylum, and now it is desired to spend $15,000 more. O: course, certain improvements are nec essary, but it does seem to us that as the policy of the State is to transfer the entire asylum to State Park, thai it is not wise to be spending annuall3 from $15,000 to $30,000 on the present buildings. Whatever money is to be spent in permanent work should be spent at State park. The legislature however, passed the $15,000 over the veto of the gov'ernor. It seems to us that Mr. Graham, whc has the contract for convict labor for his hosiery mill in the penitentiary is holding up the legislature to ridi cule, and making sport of them. It will be recalled that ir. the mat ter of the hosiery mill, whici, has hac some agitation in the public prints, a committee was appointed to seex upon what terms Mr. Graham would : gree to annul the contract, and he g. ves out the statement over his- signat.re in the papers that he will annul it ul on payment to him by the State of $4(; 000 in cash and permission to oper:.te his mill for six months, or he wil agree to annul the contract if to State will give him the old dispensar warehouse and grounds. We do not see why he. did not ask the State to give him the present asy lum buildings and grounds. as soot as the new asylum is built and permil him to continue his mill in the peni tentiary until these buildings ani grounds could be available. No nec essity to be modest at all. The necesity of building roads witi intelligence and with some. knowledgE of the science of road building hat been forcibly emphasized during this long spell of rainy weather. Some 0: the roads, which have 'been "built" art in worse condition now than thea would have been if they had not beet "built." The reason of this is there wa Dot the proper knowledge of the mix ing of sand and clay and of scientifli construction by those who had chargi of the building of .them. It would bi economy to employ some one, whi knew how to build roads to have sup ervision and direction of the work. This is not said in criticism of th, unen who have had this work ij charge, because it was not supposes that t-hey were experts in road build ing. It is meant, however, a" criticisn of the system which we 'employ in th' mnatter of road construction. No men who would invest their money in a rail road would expect to build the railroad without the employment of an exper who knew how to lay off, grade and construct the road bed. The buildini of dirt roads is as much a science ani should be so construed as the building of a railroad, and until it is so con sidered, money put in what we cal permanent road work is money wast ed. We may talk about the schools il the rural districts, the betterment a social conditions and the building o churches and all that sort of thina but the first and essential and primar; sub.iect to be corasidered is that of th roads, because without them the oth ers can not come. GOOD RESOLUTIONS. Theodore F. Barton, writing in th -Progressive Farmer, relates ten reso lutionii which he made at the begin nling of the year. They are: 1. That I will raise one or mor good colts. 2. That I will raise hogs for mea and some pigs to sell. 3. That I will keep at least 40 goo hens. potat0ys and tu,ra:ps. plenty to do ai more. Z. That I will i :ise peanuts ai i opcorn for licme 'use. s. That I will raise an abundani of garde-1 stutt To C.0 in season ai to can "or Nwint''-. 7. That I will raise enough so ghum for my use and for my han next year. 8. That I will raise sorr, oood mi cows. 9. That we will can and preser a bountiful supply of fruit and berri< of every kind for home use. 10. That I will have turnips ai greens till freeze kills them next wi ter. 11. That I will raise an abundant of oats, hay and corn for my own us 12. That I will then raise all tl cotton that I can to sell, by preparir the land weW and by thorough shallo cultivation. If Mr. Barton keeps these resoll tions he will write 1912 down as red letter year in the history of b life. We find the above in the editori; columns of the Greenville Piedmon The resolutions of Mr. Barton, whic are quoted, are so thoroughly in ha mony with what The Herald tr News has been advocating for the pa 25 years that we can not restrain cop: ing them with our most hearty appro al. We desire to commend them 1 every farmer in Newberry count whether he be a large farmer or small farmer, or whether he has pledi ed to reduce his acreage or not, at if he will follow the resolutions abol conscientiously, he will come o1 ahead at the end of the year whethi there is a big crop of cotton or small crop, and whether the price five or 15 cents. The lessons coi tained in these resolutions are the le sons that every farmer in this counI must learn and apply if he is to be successful farmer, and if he wou: learn and apply these lessons, thei would not be so much concern aboi the price of cotton. We notice that the legislature pas ed the resolution introduced by M L. J. Browning, chairman of the wa: and means committee, as a committi resolution providing for the submi sion to the people the question of vo ing one million dollars worth of bon< for the development of the new Ho pital for the Insane at State Park. V are inclined to believe that if the pe< ple could be made fully to understar the condition of this proposed bondi sue that they would approve it. It is estimated that it will cost; least one million dollars and probab more to complete the work at Sta Perk, and to make accommodatioi for 2,000 patients. Up to the first January of this year, less than $100,0 had been expended in this developme which included the purchase of twe ty-two hundred acres of land. Tl ' commission is On the construction the first building which is arranged Saccommodate one hundred and fif negro men. In the proposed bond issue, it is pr vided that the property now owned1 the State and upon which the prese iState Hospital for the Insane is I cated, shall be pledged for the 'pa 1ment of the, bonds at maturity. T] State owns 360 acres of land, a got part of which is in the city of ColuI bia, which if properly handled can1 Imade to realize .for the State with five or ten years from one and one-he to two million dollars, which wou more than pay for t;he development State Park. We understand 'that ti is what is proposed in this bond isst It is not probable at present, tQ di pose of this property to the best a vantage for the State, and in order continue the development at Sta -Park, it is necessary for the State provide means, either by direct appr priation or by a loan, and the issue bonds is simply to be a loan. T property of the present State Hospi' for the Insane could be sold at prese - for a million dollars, but the State -not ready to care for the insane un the new property is developed. If t e matter is judiciously handled, as st; ed above, we are satisfied that t tpresent p)roperty of the State Hospil for the Insane which is owned by t State can be disposed of for a sum 1 excess of what will be noe.censer id develop a modern, up-to-date plant at State Park. id DON'T BE A "PASSENGER." ce Now just suppse-The Herald should come out this morning with the announcement that henceforth it is r-; going to be conducted with an eye single to the business office, that in lk giving publicity to any undertaking we will ask, "What's in it for us?" Such announcement would mean that henceforth matter touching the affairs of the chamber of commerce will have ito be paid for at so much per line; all church notices will have to be paid for ri + in advance, mention of plans for the fall fair will be charged for at so 3e much per inch, notices and announce e. ments regarding the South Atlantic ie States Music Festival will be charged tg for; communications concerning the w endowment of Converse college must be accompanied with checks, covering '- the advertising charges; the Y. M. C. A. a notes will be published at regular ad is visiting rates, which may be ascertain ed by consulting the Herald's rate al card. In fact, such an announcement juld mean that in the future the l h Herald would take no part in promot r- ing ^ny undertaking that has for its id 'object the general good of the com st munity. We say, suppose the Herald would take such a position, what would be o the result? It would mean the loss of Fo friends, subscribers, and the respect Y, of the community. It would mean that ! a the paper is to be of no value. It is the province of a newspaper to do what it may, in season and out, for any movement in which the people of re the city in which it is published are it interested. r This applies to a newspaper, you a 'say, but not to an individual. Not so. ! is The individual who takes the position that he is going to look out for him self first, last and all the time, never s- giving money or time to any project ty in which the town is interested, de a serves to lose friends and influence. Ld 1 He is a passenger, as they say of a member of a crew who breaks his oar, or is incapacitated in any way, it and becomes a burden upon the other members of the team. The- heroic tigfor a "passenger" to do is to jump overboard.-Spartanbuirg Herald. Unfortunately there are a great many "passenlers" in every commu se nity, and in some communities it would be 'better for the community if [ tthe "passenger" would do the heroic - thing suggested by the Herald. Jbe The man who is prospering in ai e community and takes the position that' e She is going to look out for himself first, d last and all of the time, and will not qui s give any1 of his time or money to the Istr general welfare of the community, is ab4 tnot worth much as a factor in the s building up of any phase of the comn lyroi temunity life.. No man can live abso lutely to himself, and that comnmunity sh~ which exhibits the greatest amount of ho' fpublic spirit is the community which an 0 is prospering ani moving forward. iD nt Imc These "pa.ssengers," as the Herald a terms them, overlook a very import- fri fant thing, and that is they can not help1 ri to the community without helping every tbody in the community, themselves Pr included. da; Of course, a live newspaper is ex- f '- Ca Ipected to do a great deal for the pub- h lic weal, and when the newspape- n gives its space which is its only I"A merchandise, it is contributinig .iust the Ill -same as the man who gives his money, ch bmc Iand it should be so regarded. n-Al be DEATH OF A CHRISTIAN WOMAN. ha Du niAfter Long Years of Suffering Patient.
