AULL, EDITOR. _____________________ Friday, March 1, 1912. 1 We notice that an effort is being made to get Mr. J. G. Richards to enter the race for governor. If Mr. Richards is wise he will adhere to his decision to continu ? in the race for to i l roo ^ftTnmissinnpr_ X <*X I i VUU Col. Ebbie Watson says that he will be delighted to go in the primary beI fore the people for the position which j he nows holds. There is nothing like j being willing to do what you have to; do. It is a long step towards success, j It is understood that an -effort will fce made to control the May convention so as to pass a rule to restrict the suffrage in the Democratic pri- j mary. Better keep an eye on your county conventions unless you want a .restricted suffrage. The members of the legislature seem to be under the delusion that they have b en playing good politics. When they get back to the people they will realize whether they have or not. A large majority of them will find how they stand when they go before thej - i people the coming summer. j Col. Roosevelt eays he is perfectly j happy. There is nothing like it We hope he will remain happy, but it would be a great mistake for the American people to esiaDnsn a prece-j dent at this late day for a t-h:rd term j for the presidency.

A citizen who is interviewed by the spartan Durg neraia says tnat ne wan is j to see a straight Blease and a straight j Jones ticket put in the field the com- j ing summer from coroner on up, and | m that he will not vote for any one for any office who does not say that he is against Blease. W?ll, that is going some politically. TXTViv +Via nam/viTofio n^.TX7C. ! TT'li/ QUVU1UU V UUV UV I* k> j papers encourage the Republicans to 1 I nominate Col. Roosevelt. He would be the easiest candidate to defeat that the Republicans could name. But they are not going to name him, and if thpv Via is nf>f eroin?r f/i hp elect ed, unless the Democrats fail to rec-1 ognize their opportunity. *j The South Carolina legislature was ' Etill in session at the last report re; i ceived from that hody, though it was - -S iL.i J.X . ~ saia mat xnere were umjf a icy* | straggling members present. It is | fortunate that under the rules it does I not require a quorum to adjourn for; if it did the body might remain in session the remainder of the year. It is said that Col. Tom Felder is j comine over to testify before the last! winding up commission of the dispensary. That is the last one that has been appointed. It is by no means to be considered as the last winding-up . commission. That is, if there is any more money in sight to be spent, for there is no certainty that there will ever be any last winding-up commission in that event. The News and Courier of Wednesday prints a cartoon of a horse jumping a barbed wire fence, the fence being labeled the vetoes of the gover-' nor. One would judge from the condition of the horse that he had spent all his energy in jumping the fence and would not be in much condition for the races that are to be met dur ing tho coming summer. Wo opine that the cartoon will prove pretty true to nature. ] Senator Strait, who stood by the - T , .tsieatoes is irom ira tj. Junes count> of Lancaster. Maybe "there's a reason" as C. W. Post would say.?Anderson Daily Mail. We heard the senator say not so | ; | long ago that the Bleatoes would certainly carry Lancaster county in the primaries the coming summer. We do not know whether he knew what he was talking about or not. There are four candidates announc- j ed for coroner in Abbeville county. It; must be a good job in that county. ! We see from the papers that Capt. R. H. Jennings will not be a candidate for reelection as State treasurer and in that event Mr. S. T. Carter will be a candidate to succeed Mr. Jennings. Mr. Carter has been in the office of the State treasurer for a good, many years and is competent and efficient and will make a worthy and efficient successor to Capt. Jennings, and The Herald and News desires now to say that it will unhesitatingly support Mr. Carter for this responsible position and desires now also to com- j mend him to the voters of Newberry j as a man in every way fully competent j for the position and one whom they can confidently trust. The county has not paid the salar- { ies of any of its officials since last j Julv. Of course it is not obligatory i I upon these officials to serve the coun-! ty. On the other hand it is not right | for the county to make these officials ! wait for their money cr discount their claims. It is not the business way to run the county. And it is not saving, the taxpayers a red cent On the contrary the taxpayers are paying inter est on the money being oorrow?a. Why not get on a cash basis and not try to fool the people on the plea that their taxes have not been increased because, forsooth, you have not increased the tax levy. It is not the levy that counts, but the matter of expen-; ditures. Don't you forget that and be assured that the taxpayers will not forget it. The plan of the legislature to re- j quire the supervisor to keep his ac-' counts separated is a good one. There I is alwavs too little application of j business methods in the handling of! : public business. The plan suggested I by act of the legislature is along the right lines if it only will be carried out. But the legislature did not exercise very much business sense in not providing a sufficient revenue to meet the ordinary and necessary expenses of the county government. It is bad policy to keep the county on the credit basis and worse still when the legislature knows that the revenue provided is several thousand dollars less than is required to pay the actual expenses of the county. It only puts the county further in debt each year. It is a false economy. The people are j not to be fooled by any such methods. We find the following in the Columbia correspondence of the Augusta Chronicle: * "In this connection it might be stated that when the State Democratic convention meets May 15, an attempt is going to be made to make the primary law the same as the State law, that is to make a registration certificate necessary to vote in the primary. This would eliminate about 55,000 j votes in the election \iext summer." If that is the plan why not do away with the primary altogether. We had been under the impression that the purpose of the primary was to give a majority of the white men of the State an opportunity to express their wishes as to the candidates for the various offices and a majority so expressed was to be the decision of the party. The people in selecting dele- i gates to the State convention had bet- j ter ke?p this in mind, for it certainly' is the scheme of a certain faction to get control of affairs in South Cairo-: lina. i Now is the time to subscribe to j The Herald and News. i MANY CITIES ARE STARTLED BY CURES New Root Juice Medicine Creates Wide Interest by Its Strange Power Over Disease. T'Virv of n nfl?*-! re ronirlit V Mfitll Avl"lir*Vl i lit oiai 111115 lafiuii; uiiiv.u the fame of the new Root Juice medicine has traveled seems ^'ttle short of marvelous for althougn its strange power over disease has been known but a short time, reports from people in many cities, praising it to the skies and describing the most phenomenal cures, are coming from everywhere. Dozens of people here in town who were among the first to obtain the medicine at the drug stores, are now telling of benefits that have been derived from its use. On every hand one may hear stories that seem almost incredible and yet the persistency with which such reports are made seem to dispel any doubt concerning the remarkable merit of discovery. From all reports, the Root Juice exerts a powerful curative influence upon the digestive and secretory organs and some of those who have tried it say they can scarcely get enough to oaf onH tha stomach seems able to digest anything. It stops indigestion, belching, the formation of gas on the stomach and pains after meals, in a surprising manner and its continued use for a short time strengthens and tones the stomach so that indigestion is soon forgotten. Rheumatic suffer ^ - J - -1 ll-.i ers, too, UWiiire tua,L uie cueui ujl iuc medicine on sore, swollen, aching limbs and joints is wonderful and that the pain simply seems to vanish. The following extracts from a few of the many recent reports will convey a good idea of the great results that are being obtained by its use in many cities over the country. F. Abel, Seymour, Ind., "I have used the medicine with fine results and know of many others it has helped." Albert Timlick, Cantrall, 111., "I have suffered w*ith stomach trouble two years. Was almost dead one night when I sent for Root 4uice- After three or four doses I felt much better. It has since worked wonders for me." J. E. Ogden, St. Louis, Mo., "It is the best medicine I ever used and I have tried many kinds." Joe Battle, Moultrie, Ga., "I have tried Root Juice and received more benefit than from any medicine I ever used." Other similar reports have come from Carrington, N. Dak., Anderson, Ind., Kane, Pa., Chicago, 111., Harrisonburg, Va., Springfield, 111., Bellefontaine, Ohio, and many other cities in all parts of the United States. Inasmuch as a large bottle holding nearly a pint can be obtained at any drug store or direct from the Root Juice Laboratories at Fort Wayne, Ind., for only one dollar, it would seem advisable for any suffering per rr?Tr~ if o fVinrnup'h heat. OUI1 UU &1>C il. .?-* ~ ?O? LET THE MAJORITY RULE. After the majority has passed upon any given proposition affecting the peace and progress of the community, the minority should shut up. Cut out the "pros" and the "cons," forget it, and line up with the procession. You sacrifice no principle by pursuing such a course. By sulking and kicking, however, when you should be out smiling and boosting, you may sacrifice the fair prospects of your town. ?Spartanburg Herald. This is no joke, but it is true tnat it contains a lesson that a great many of the newspapers of South Carolina have not learned, and we are afraid that among the number may be mentioned the Spartanburg Herald.
