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

-Park, it is necessary for the State

priation or by a loan, and the issue

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

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.
