John Lee Davis, said to be the champion
operator of the South, is on the
State. It is said that John can smoke
a cigar, talk to a by-stander and keep

y John K. Aull, who used to be a swift

popular and efficient court stenogra-!
Sphere in th-e State, and his contribum
irons from time to time in The Herald
W are much enjoyed. John is a born
W newspaper man.
f Herman Aull, Col. Aull's second son, j
J was also one of the swiftest, most
steady, punctual and efficient young
-printers I have ever known. The allh
wise Ituler of the universe saw fit to i
call him from the borders and troubles j
T this world to be with Him in paradise.
No one was ever missed in the
office as he was, s j
{ John Wicker, too, poor fellow, witli
*11 his eccentricities and peculiarities
l*ad a noble and kindly heart. He, too, j
after a long life devated to The Herald,
was called and had to yield up his life.
Robert Bass also began his career,
4s a. printer in The Herald office. He|
is now with the Bryan Printing comjpany,
Columbia, and is doing Well.
Mack Davis is also with the Columbia
State.
Hosea Barger, the veteran printer,
probably the only one that has been
continuous in his services to The Herald,
is still to be found at his post.
Last, but not least, we shall mention
Dick Greneker. You all know "Dick."
He now holds up the local end of The
?r?nrf> nf th.A distinct features
k ?- ?
w of the paper, which is so prominently
being brought to the front. Dick is a
chip off the old block, and has the faculty
of knowing a news item when he
meets it?an act which many news-1
\>aper men in an experience of a life-:
time never attain.
r There may be others that this writer
was associated with in the past on The
'Herald that I have overlooked. If so,
it is unintentional.
Again we congratulate Col. Aull, and
all connected "with his paper, on the
magnificent showing as a result of
their efforts. May he live long and
"have many years of success before him
is the wish of one whose recollections
I of his connection with the paper brings
^manv pleasant memories.

AMI JLAl\LK iuni?r^rv.^i!L.u
Mr. L. I. Epting Recalls the Days of
Old St. PauFs School and Later
Times.
(By L. I. Epting.)
Mr. E. H. Aull and I went to school j
together, when we were boys, to Rev.!
Dr. J. A. Sligh, at St. Paul's school1
The school hous-e was built
jfc 18 feet wide and 40 feet long, with a
Htehimney at each end, from which the
r building was heated with hickory and j
oak wood cut by the school boys from ,
the forest near by. The building had i
two doors, one on each side about the
middle of the building, and four win- j
dows on each side. The same school
"house is still standing, minus one
chimney, and with some other changes.
The church (old St. Paul's), stand- j
ing about 60 feet from the school
k * house, at that time had three doors
J of entrance, one on each side and one
at the end of the church, with a portico
extending over each door. On the
floor of those porticos we boys and the
girls, too, had a great time cracking
and eating hickory nuts, which were
plentiful, and of good quality, to bp
r had just by picking them up from uri^
der the trees near-by.
Those were great times.
BE- I will mention some of the boys and
girls about our age that went to school
when we did: Elbert, Rowena and j
Nathan Aull; Walter and Janie
Counts, Mary and Laura 'Kibler;

many others 1 can't call to mind just
now. Some have passed to the great
beyond.

was always glad when I had to go to
mill, notwithstanding the great many
difficulties I had to encounter, v We
had to take the corn in a sack, put on
tVia of jl horse while I rode on |
the sack to keep it on the horse. Sometimes
the milter didn't divide the contents
of the sack exactly across the
hack of the horse; then trouble would
follow. The heavy side would overbalance
and the horse in walking
would cause it to get more to one side
until finally it would come to the
ground. Then we would have to wait
j until some one would come along and
lend a helping hand.
Mr. Aull moved away and I lost sight

enjoyable times, but they didn't last
long enough.
Now, as this is the twenty-fifth an- j

The Herald and News, we congratu- j
late him on his success, and wish for i
him ev^n greater success during the;

My fisrt recollection of a newspaper
being published at Newberry was the

by Mr. R. H. Greneker, the paper then
being issued 011 Thursday of each;

charge of the paper and edited and
published the paper under the heading
of the Newberry H-erald and News.

STENOGRAPHER'S FIRST
NEWSPAPER EXPERIENCE

(By Miss Anna L. Dickert).
What an interesting, heart-thrilling,1
nervous experience is that of one just'
launching out into the realms of the I
unknowp business world. Interesting

the problems and perplexities that
confront a stenographer.
It is to The Herald and News that
I am indebted for such an experience.
My connection with The Herald and I
News as a stenographer, a beginner
too, hear that in mind, though of only
a few months duration, as I was only
a substitute of the regular one who
was on a vacation, was m ssarily
filled with many difficulties?difficulties
such as confront I suppose, every
stenographer. But the person without

versity," said John Neal, "is the prosperity
of the great. No man ever
worked his way in the dead calm.
Kites rise against, not with, the wind."
So why should we complain at our
difficulties when they are our most
valuable assets? We, as stenographers,
are one class of ladies who do
not object to being dictated to, and
are very careful to catch every word
of that dictation. Bu you see he dic?/->+

or dress. Taking dictation and transcribing
your noes is not all the work
of a newspaper stenographer. There
is yet the work of transcribing the
writing of other folks which is sometime
as diffioult as reading other folks
short-hand notes, I heard a teacher
of permanship say once that much
could be learned of a person from the
handwriting, but I never did "take

the word was. It takgs patience to
do GVen that &nd like that snail with
patience Siid perseverance we are
finally brought to Jerusalem.
This day is certainly & great event
in the history of The Herald and News,
a history covering twenty-five years.
For these years it has been the pride
of our town and this year more so
than ever. Notice the improvement.
Watch the educational columns. It
has discovered that the horizon isn't
fixed, that it can be pushed back, retreating
as we advance. And while
the result is always not- toon, yet it
has its effect. You can not pursue a
crooked path without leaving footprints,
and sometimes some one is going
to tract your course. And like
wise with an upright and straight one.
May the aim of The Herald and News
be far and may that goal stay fijced.
Keep going, keep pace and thereby
hold your place and every day will
bring you nearer realization. Remember
we have a irships to lift us to our
air castles.
THE PRESENT FORCE
IS YOUNG IN YEARS
Old in Experience as They Were
Brought Up in the Office?Loyal
to Their Work.
(By E. H. Aull.)
This issue of The Herald and News
would not be complete if it did not
contain a few words about the present
force of The Herald and News. With
the exception of the editor, I suppose
it would be true to say, that scarcely
another newspaper in the State works
as many people as young as the present
force, that is, in years. They are
all old in experience as they were
brought up, so to speak, in the office.
Mr. Jas. L. Aull, who is a son of the
editor, has charge of the mechanical
department, and is but twenty-three
years old, though I suppose he feels
like by this time that lie is an old
printer, as he has been one from the
ivinWi hie memory scarcely
L1I1JLO tV n u?vu >?w ? v w
runneth to the contrary. He is also
an expert linotype operator and machinist.
1 suppose he inherited his
mechanical qualities from his forebears.
Mr. Ira Siigh is the linotype operator
and has worked in The Herald and
News office some seven or eight years.
He began at fifty cents a week. He is1
but twenty-two years old now and is
an expert operator. For a little while
Via halri r?nwn ri nnsition nn thp flolum
bia State, but after a few months he
returned to his first love.
His brother, Edgar SligL, carted at
the same time and at the same salary,
and is now a good job and advertising
printer, and has :n^re endunr.icv- i"or

continuous haul's of work without fag|
ging than any boy who ever held a
I position in the office. I believe he
j can do ten to twelve days of work in
a week and look fresh and bright all
the time. He is only twenty years old.
Alvin Wright has been with the ofI
fice for nearly a year, and is develop|
ing into a good all-round boy, and
j will make a first-class printer. He is
| only nineteen years of age.
! Humbert Aull, who is a son of the |
I editor, is but sixteen years old and
! is one of those boys who can do things
if he will. He: has also been brought
up in the office, so to speak, and
though he did not take to it as the
other boys did as they came on, he is
I now doing good, faithful work.
!
j Mr. H. M. Barger writes his exper
I
j ience in the printing business, and is
now getting to be nearly as old as the
! editor, though still active, faithful and
conscientious in his work.
.
William Davis, th-e colored man in
| the mechanical department, has been
j with The Herald and News for nearly
I twenty years, and always has and does !
take a lively interest in the office. He
j is an expert pressman and takes care
1 of the machinery and looks after the
i
office in general as well as takes care
! of the editor at his home. I do not
see how the office could get along
!< ?2xi i. v: ?
j wen wnauui mm.
In the front office, Mr. R. H. Grene- l
j ker has charge of the mailing list, does
| collecting, and writes personals and
I locals. He is the busiest mr-j in town
| and always on his job. He has been
with the office, well, since he wore
frocks. I would not like to say the
number of years because he is still
a young man.
i
Miss Ammie Taylor is bookkeeper
j and stenographer and keeps the neat!
pst books in town.
Miss Anna Dickert, who is book'
keeper to the county superintendent of
j education, does some work in connec!
tion with The Herald and News, and
| is an expert stenographer.
The force works harmoniously tol
gether and is prepared to do any class
! of printing.
The Herald and News has four city
deliverers and they are thf best the
! paper has ever had, each being faith|
ful and prompt in the discharge of his
! duty. The list is as follows: Route 1,
