Friday. March 15, 1912.
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

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.

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

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

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

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 !

ner is in the office, a.-settin' back in his ;

"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

| Why not let old man Trouble take
to the woods and then set the woods
on fire? It is good advice and suppose
we all take it.

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. To be employed in

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

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.

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.

"Dad" and "daddy" were well known
In this country in the sixteenth century:
