The State Teachers' association will meet in Charleston on April 25, 26 and 27, and it is hoped that as many of the of Xewberrv county as can conveniently do so will attend this i meeting. We agree with the Wateree Messenger in indulging the hope that we may soon be rid of the old State dispensary and all the many investigations that j that famous and historic institution j has undergone, but sometimes we al-j j most conclude that it is a vain hope. j Certainly it would seem to be so long j as there is opportunity to make poli tical capital out of it We understand that the city council j has employed a civil engineer to supervise the proposed permanent work onthe streets. If it be true, it is a step in the right direction. It is a waste J of public funds," and we are almost tempted to say a prostitution of a public trust to undertake to do permanent public improvements upon the streets or the roads without having in charge tViA Ti'/vrT.- onma /vno U'hft l?*nOW? hf)W Suppose we all preach the doctrine Of a fair count and a square deal and stop talking about the blind tiger ele in-ent and tne moo ana me <ui-drcuisi.) Surely it is not intended by the news- i papers and the politicians -to charge that a majority of the good people of j South Carolina belong to these classes | and yet that is what they are virtually j doing. Wonder if they -expect to change ' I the views of this element by such j preaching. After Underwood, Clark, et al., sue- j rp.pd in nulline Woodrow Wilson down ! if they do, will they fall out among themselves??Anderson Daily MailNow, honest, don't you think it is permissible for Underwood, Clark, et al, to enter as candidates for the nomination without being charged with pulling Woodrow Wilson down. Or has Mr. Wilson the right of way and no one is allowed to enter. There is j need for moderation and we should remember that the Democratic party | is not a one man party. If it is then i it may never hope to win. HELPING THE BOYS. Mr. Jno. M. Kinard, president of, the Commercial bank, for himself and: ! his bank, writes a very interesting and encouraging letter to the boys of the i Boys' Corn club for Newberry county,! , . __ and agrees to give eacn Doy a sum-1 ' / cient quantity of approved seed especially selected to plant the acre of, corn, which each boy must plant who j enters the contest. The corn will bt ready at any time that the boys may call for it. Mr. Kinard says he will i furnish the seed for as many as one hundred boys, who enter this contest, and urges that as many as fifty join the club. * This is a generous offer on the part of the bank and Mr. Kinard, and we are sure will be apreciated by the boys and it also assures to each boy a good j variety of seed especially selected. The boys will have to call at the bank in order to get their part of the seed. HARD OX JOURNALISM. In his 25th anniversary number, E. < TT *..11 ? * i-U - ?.T TT 1 ! xi. auu, <Ji iue ncwiwn^ neictiu auu News says: "My going into the newspaper business was not an inherited preference, for my people on either side had never been engaged in journalism so far as I know. They had been carpenters and millers and far-! mere, earning an honest living by the: eweat of their brows." And just abo\>?1 this the editor admits the soft impeachment that he is a journalist by saying "I found my bread and meat in t.hA npwsnaDer business and T found also that journalism was a jealous mistress."?Spartanburg Herald. We confess that we do not exactly understand this comment. Is it "hard on journalism" that the forbears of the editor of The Herald and News I had never engaged in it, or is it "hard on journalism" that the editor found his bread and meat in it and for that reason gave up the law? The only comment is in the head line and it seems to be the opinion of the Herald that it is "hard on journalism" some where. Maybe it is "hard on journalism ' that the editor of The Herald and News never had a boss who should dictate what he should write, or that he has never been a penny-a-liner. At any rate it is certainly "hard on journalism" somewhere and we just have a little curiosity to know where it is. The Newberry Observer advises that TVmfM^ra.t.in ri^wsnaoers can do no better than urge upon the Republicans that they nominate Mr. Roosevelt. The Observer gives this advice because it thinks Roosevelt will be easier to defeat than any other man the Republicans can nominate.?Yorkville Enquirer. The Enquirer has "mixed them babies up." Some other paper must be meant. The Observer ha$ not said j that "Roosevelt will be easier to de- j feat than any other man the Republi- j cans can nominate." Quite the con-' trarv- .fhp Observer "has said repeated ly that Roosevelt would be the hardest man to beat of all the candidates named for the Republican nomination. ?Newberry Observer. The Enquirer pleads guilty to having "mixed the babies." It saw the Statement referred to in another paper, credited to the Observer, but does not remember what paper it was. It| is frankly admitted, hoxVever, that the; opinion quoted did not sound like a:i Observer opinion.?Yorkville Enquirer, j The baby shall no longer remain i without a guardian. It was The Her-; aid and News that made the remark j which s'2?ms to have gotten mixed, j We intended to acknowledge it last J week when the Observer disclaimed fatherhood, but it escaped our atten- j tion. We admit that we know very ! 1 little of politics and less of politicians, j and we may be entirely mistaken, but j we are still of the opinion that Mr. j Taft would be a stronger candidate \ for the Republicans than Mr. Roose- j velt. It is true that Mr. Roosevelt is! a very active and a very aggressive j man and one who does things and the! \ ! American people love a man who dees things whether he does them right or not, but we do not believe that the people will give any man three terms, and besides that, Mr. Tart is a coil- j servative, business man, who has the | confidence of the business people. We i may be entirely mistaken, but we have no objection to having the remark properly credited. <$> <?> THE IDLiR. <S> <s> <s> 1 near tnat city council is remy going to do some street paving in the near future. That is refreshing news. I hope it means the beginning of an era of permanent work for the city and the abandonment of the patch work system which has been in vogue in the city for many years. I walked down Main street the other day and I was really and genuinely surprised to see those old burned and charred buildings still standing j J *- "I J- ~ J J >4- I mere unnioiesieu ctiia uervnig, as 11. i were, the march of progress. I thought | sure that council had taken my ad-! I vice long ago and condemned them as nuisances. They certainly do not add to the attractiveness of that end of town, and I have wondered and won: dered some more why they should be permitted to remain. I don't know who claims the ownership of them, and I doubt if you get any one to admit that they belonged to him or her. In fact, 1 am almost certain that they do not belong to any woman, for you | could not get a woman to permit them j to stand as they are. That is a beautiful mudhole along | side the Crotwell hotel, and I am sure Mr. Crotwell is permitting it for some good and wise purpose, but just what that purpose is the mind of mortal man can not divine, but I am dead sure Mr. Crotwell knows and T wish he would tell me what is the purpose. I notice also that some of the drivers have been trying to avoid it and in their efforts have been driving out over the beautiful lawn of the court house square. And that also helps the appearance of this beautiful square. And I walked through the court house the other day also in my perambulations?I reckon that is a good word?it sounds alright any way ? and the beautiful tile floor is beautifully covered with red day which is brought in from the beautiful cemem* walk leading up to the front entrance! ?that is it was meant to be a beauti- J ful walk and will be when the county i orptc flush with monev. At anv rate. it seemed to me that a little scrubbing of the floor and a little use of the cleaning brush generally around the court house would help the appearance of things and add to the sanitary conditions generally about this beautiful building. I don't see why the supervisor doesn't ord^r Eugene Werts or John Epps or Muns Buford or John Goggans?pardon me, gentlemen, if I am familiar, but you know that is my j way?to get busy and do some scrubI bing, and court is coming next week, l too, and then they will soon be throwing their hats into the ring, and a little physical exerecise would do them good. .And there is Henry Rikard, pardon me, I had almost overlooked this important and hard working official | They did burn off the grass the other I day on one the side of the enrtance and it looked like it was in mourning, for ?x T r?nr?trr\T"? T | tne rest, oi iuc picmioco x * | don't know what else could have been the meaning of this dark and gloomy appearance. I . | Talking about throwing your hatj into the ring reminds me of the following which I read the other day in Frank Stanton's column in the Atlanta Constitution in regard to the way they settle races down in Billville, and I commend it to the various candidates in this county: 1 "me i5esi jiaii it iii?? (How they Settle Literary and Politi-1 cal Questions in Billville.) "Last year?'long about time for j Spring to put in an appearance," says ! the Billville Banner, "the people o' j this here settlement got all stirred up; over the question, 'Who is the leading j Literary Light in our midst?' and in-; stead o' takin' up valuable space threshin' it out in the newspapers they acted sensible, decidin' it by a jumpin' / 1 match twixt the two claimants?Bill * ^ ~ ~ T *irr f A Kq O i JenKins an loin onits. n YV U1* LKJ c* a 10-foot jump, best two out o' three, | an' Bill cleared 15 foot 011 the second 1 round, which settled the question for good an' all. "Likewise, the two candidates for sheriff made up their minds that instead 0' havin' a long-winded race for the nomination they'd hop into a 10foot ring an' fight for it pugilist-fash- ( ion, which was no sooner said than j done, an' one- of 'em was so knocked 1 out tftat ne won i oe in uuuu ItiUil IU ! emerge from the hospital till the win-j ner is in the office, a.-settin' back in his ; easy chair. "Of course, it wouldn't be dignified ' to try and settle national questions j thataway, but what a tig savin' of time an' hot air it would be! Time one' candidate saw the other kickin' his dog 'round to take it out o' his hide then an' thar, an' let the people go > 'long 'bout their business." j By the way, I wonder what's the | matter with the boys in. Newberry.j They s'sem to be a little bit shy. They | don't seem to be in any rush to throw j their hats in the ring. Well, I reckon there is plenty of time. The race is not always to the swift nor the battle to the strong. The early bird might get out before the worm and then, of j course, you could not find the worm, j I I commend the following bit of good: philosophy to all who may be inter- i ested: | "Yes," said the local authority, "the! man plavin' the fiddle is 96 years old, an' the feller doin' the dancin' is his baby boy, who has jes' turned 60. People dunno what trouble is 'round here,! is why they live so long; don't go redeyed after office, don't cuss out the guv'mint, an' don't give a durn wheth- j er congress is in session, or gone j fishin'.

It is good advice and suppose we all take it. The Idler. Keeping a Fortune. It is one of the significant signs of the times that there is an ever-increasing business of "looking after" estates, insuring and dispensing incomes to ! the idle heirs and the incompetent. ! The question is often asked, "Why | should he work? His father left him rich." The work of keeping a fortune is, in reality, a business ir itself, ; and sometime? it is more difficult ! than the making.

WHAT THEY SAY OF I S. Some Comments of the Press on Our Silver Anniversary Edition. News and Courier, 9th. Col. Elbert H. Aull celebrates this week with an interesting special edition of his paper the 25th anniversary of his connection with the Newberry Herald and News. He went to Newberry as a professor in Newberry college, studied law and drifted into newspaper work. He has b-sen at it ~ ^ ^ ~ ~ ^ fnllnwwl ever snujt emu ma uuj u uu.n, ^vnv > in his footsteps and are helping him to maintain The Herald and News as one of the most attractive county I newspapers in South Carolina. | Yorkvill-3 Enquirer, 12th. The last issue of the Newberry Herald and News is a special edition in recognition of the twenty-fifth anniversary of Editor E. H. Aull's management of the paper. Articles by Editor Aull and members of his staff, give m Ji A ?*1 1 _ a full story or tne Trials ana inuumtions of the paper throughout its career, and the paper itself today shows what all the energy, perseverance, intelligence and aspiration of a quarter of a century hare amounted to. Editor* Aull has behind him a record of which he has a right to be proud, and he may rest assured that the newspaper property he has built up will Ion? continue to b? a power for good in his county and State. Associate Reformed Presbyterian, 13th. The Herald and News, of Newberry, had a very interesting write-up of that paper last week. A history of the life of thV paper, its past and present editors, its.office force and photo engravures of the present building. The whole made a complete picture of the past and present life of that paper. Greenwood Journal, 13th. The Newberry Heral'd and News is * i j a -t^r% "Kl onni -O ~yGeirS OIU- A v tTl ^ Uicuuawic versary edition was issued by that paper a few days ago. We hope that Col. Aull will livp to see another 25 years roll around. Bamberg Herald, 14th. Last week the Newberry Herald and .Yews issued a special edition commemorating the rounding out of 25 years of service on the part of its editor, Col. E. H. Aull. We have not known him quite all this time, but we have always found him fair and true to his ideals, with no malice in his fnr onv rmp. Here's our best o iwx _ wishes for many years of happiness and usefulness. Greenwood Index, 14th. Last week's Newberry Herald and .Vcws was a very interesting one, being filled with many articles of special interest in connection with the 2r>t.h anniversary of Editor Aull's editorship. He is a fine newspaper man, esteemed highly by his fellow-workers and his fellow-citizens generally. The Herald and News has an excelent mechanical equipment, but best of all is its staff of loyal and capable workers. Col. Aull's sons can turn in and get out as good a-newspaper as anybody whenever called upon. He is fortunate and blessed. The dewberry Herald. Abbeville Press ^nd Banner, 13th. The Xe wherry Herald of last week celebrated its twenty-fifth anniversary under the management of Col. E. H. Anil. This issue, including pictures of individuals and much interesting details of those who had been associated with the paper, filled twenty-four pages. We would speak especially of the chapter from the "Annals of Newberry." The name of James H. Giles, oriitnr r>f thp Newberry Sentinel, is omitted. It was in March, 1856, and not in 1855, that Thomas P. Slider and James M. Crosson, and not Thomas P. Slider, commenced the publication of tli? Rising Sun. Joseph Brazilton was foreman of the office. He died that y-rar of consumption. Hugh Wilson was journeyman printer. James M. j Crosson afterward moved to Texas, land became a judge in one of the ! courts. Thomas P. Slider went to Atj lanta and died. There is a noticeable absence of dates, which, if they , had been added, would have added imrv^ncoiv tn tbp interesting story or his V. 1V' vv v? ^ _ torical sketch. Col. Aull's career has been conspicuous for his ability as a writer. As ' a newsgatfterer he has few, if any, ! equals. His high standing with the brethren of the press is attested by his long career as president of the State ; Press association. May the colonel i celebrate his fiftieth anniversary ir i one of the best newspapers of the j State. * .
