In a reply, published in another, column, to the letter of the editor of j The Herald and News, the Observer j I goes into a history of its trade and industrial edition, refers to the trade and industrial edition of The Herald and j News this year, and expresses its continned conviction that the little para- j graph in The Herald and News in re- j gard to the Chautauqua booklet was a slur at the Observer. We regret that the Chautauqua has been brought into a controversy between the two newspapers of Newberry. A controversy of this kind can do nobody any good. We shall have only a few more words to say, and they shall not be controversial. T'V.o nhwrvpr s3vs the statement of the editor of The Herald and News was not satisfactory, and charges that it lacked frankness. It stated the whole case, as the editor of The Herald and News saw it, and if it does not satisfy the Observer, we can not help I it. As to the president of the Chau-j tauqua association, who, the Observer thinks did exactly right, we have al ^oil wa havA to sav in this A Cauj ^ ^ connection. Different persons have different views of what is "exactly right" In 6peaking of the Observer's trade and industrial edition of last Chautauqua week, the Observer says that "some person tried to make it appear that the Observer solicited advertising f for itself under the claim that it was j getting out some sort of advertisement j for the Chautauqua," but ^"concluded , to let it pas6, because I did not wish j to enter into a newspaper controvery." > If by characterizing the controversy into which he would have entered, had lie entered a controversy, as a "newspaper" controversy, the editor of the Observer means to charge The Herald and News with having inspired the report?which we hype the editor of the Observer does not mean?the charge; is absolutely unfounded in fact We j desire to state, and to state emphatically, that any reports that may have gained circulation in regard to the Observer's trade edition of last Chautauqua week, did not emanate from The Herald and New?, and The Herald and j News had nothing to do with them. i As to The Herald and News edition, it is issued today, and has no more bearing upon a Chautauqua, either in point of time or in any other manner, I than has the chirping of a sparrow up- j on a presidential election. The editor of the Observer proceeds to draw w*hat he calls a logical and j inevitable inference from the little j paragraph in The Herald and News, to which the Observer takes exception, j That there was no slur at the Observer, either in intention or in fact, in mat paragrayu, we mtru iu uia^c vicai, , publicly, and we have nothing to add j to what we have already said in re- i gard thereto. Says the editor of the Observer:J "And that is his explanation. I must say that it comes with poor grace from : one to whom I have shown so many J courtesies and favors." I Whatever courtesies and favors have been shown The Herald and News or the editor of The Herald and News, or any member of The Herald and News family, by the editor of the Observer, have been appreciated to the fullest, and sincere thanks are hereby again and publicly extended. We do not know whether or not The Herald and News has ever been able to extend to the Observer what the Observer would call courtesies or favors; certainly if it has, they have been extended willingly and gladly; but The Herald and News has not sought to keep a record of them, and would not seek to call them to mind or to charge them up in the columns of The Herald ar:' Xews. FOR A HOSPITAL. ji The chamber of commerce has actively and heartily joined with the i * physicians of Newberry in a definite ; < plan for the building of a hospital, and < the prospects for success are very en- < couraging. Newberry ought to have a Vi + 1 otjcilv Vlflvo r>DP ( uun, aiiu v-o-ii T OJ j ^ ? , and we hope to see the people of the city and the county all lend their aid j * and 6iipport and build it. The matter has been agitated by the i chamber of commerce for some time, | but no definite action had been taken. ;1 The physicians have been working j quietly but steadily, and have already j ^ brought about gratifying results, the , report showing that they already have i more than $4,000 pledged. This is a ! handsome necleus around which to j i 11 gather the remainder of the $15,000 in j j subscriptions which it is proposed to j secure. j j The movement is one that should ap- J \ peal to everybody in the county. It j may not pay any money dividends, but that is not the purpose of the enter- < prise. It is an investment which will ( pay dividends of incalculaby more 1 value than money. It will pay divi- s TKrhfoh wn not; hp reckoned in i( UV/UUO ?' ? ^ dollars and cents, and it will be an as- < set to the community which can hard- ly be overestimated. * There is no need to urge the bene- c fits of a hospital. All of us realize j them. What the entire community | 11 wants to do now is to lend its support ! i and help build one. !1 Mr. I. H. Hunt, the chairman of the committee appointed from the chamf I ? ber of commerce to confer with the ! ! S physicians' committee, very strongly; I ^ urged the necessity for a hospital in his annual report as president of the ( chamber of commerce, in March, 1911. a In that connection, ho said, among ^ other things: t "The establishment of a hospital in > Newberry town and county has been i discussed to some extent by the peo- j pie of the community and advocated c in public print. This is one of the -s most important and far-reaching prop- \ ositions that demand the attention of I our organization. From a purely com- i on/i elfish vtewnoint such an r ViUi ? .. institution is an index of a growing, Jt prosperous, and liberal-minded com- \ munity and will add to the many ad- t vantages that New-berry now has to 1 offer the home-seeker. s "The business side of this proposi- s tion is the least important and should ! be given serious consideration only jA so far as it is necessary to raise funds 1 to establish and maintain the institu- c tion. The reward of such an invest- ^ ment will not be one of financial gain, : * but will be seen and felt in the pro- i1 longing of iife, the restoration of | health and the happiness of those of j ' our people upon whose bodies the j hand of affliction has ben laid. A hospital established in the city of Newberry will save the lives of many people who require medical assistance ^ that can only be given them in a well- g equipped institution of this kind. The j t physicians of Newberry are men of j I science and skill and rank high in j1 their profession. They are able and capable and will fight to the last breath, but with all that there are cer- I, i c tain cases, and many cases, in which j t delicate surgical operations are to be ! t performed and watchful nursing re- 1 quired that leave them helpless with x 4."U ^ Artm'nm .in 4- a TUfiill OUt tut; updating vjl. ?. ??vx* , established hospital and the trained 1 nursing that is required after an operation. The men of Newberry county should remember the women and chil- | dren and pay this small tribute to 1 those who are not responsible for their : r affliction and not able to help them- j selves. There are cases where hospi- ! I tal service is absolutely necessary and <] where the people are not financially able to bear the heavy expenses of go- 1 inig to Columbia, Philadelphia or New York or any other place away from home. There are other cases "Nvhere s families "have burdened themselves 1 i with debt that their sick might receive Vioc-t Vi/-vor\if a 1 corvif>A that - Sp.iftnce * ixvopiwu.* WV* ? VMM.V ^ affords. The expense of city hospital service away from home is ex- 1 cessive and in many cases pro- * hibitive. A hospital right here at c home would bring the expense of such * \ service to the minimum and place it ivithin reach of all who need its help. Another great advantage would be in hat Newberry would have the service )f trained nurses who could answer emergency calls at all hours of the | lay and night." That is a very strong presentation | Df a very vital matter. "We believe Newberry is going ahead md build this hospital. > Filling up holes and using the split og drag will work wonders with the i "oads now. ia^ This is a mighty good time to clean j ip premises and to use whitewash and im a f rpf>l V i ? Holding the same opinion of the Coumbia State and its methods that we iave heretofore had occasion to express, we shall not bandy words with t in reDlv to its recent contemptible I - - - i ling directed at The Herald and News, j A clean town this summer will go i long way towards the prevention )f fevers and other forms of disease vhich too frequently come with the summer months. If every citizen would lo his duty by his own premises?his luty to nimsen ana nis auiy 10 omers ?and the town would keep the streets I ma drains clean, we would have a j :lean town. I The merchants of Newberry in the )ast have united in an early closing; igreement during the hot summer nonths in order to give their clerks e ime for recreation in the afternoons, ii md we doubt not they will make the ;ame arrangement this year. We are s ture that none of the merchants will r ! i-1 ose anything by early closing, parti- i ^ jularly if most of them are in the \ greement And the buying public al- ^ vays appreciates this care of the S >ard-working and courteous clerks of dewberry. g S The approach to the steel bridge ?ver Duncan's creek at Whitmire was ^ cashed away in the flood and high e vaters of four weeks ago, and nothing las been done toward replacing it.

In the employ of a certain Southern school for gfirls is a colored maid, who from her queer mumbling speech and habitual grin is known by the girls as Crazy Mary. Into the reception room of this college one busy school day a business-like publisher stepped. Handing the maid his card, he informed her that he would like to speak with Miss Harrington, the editor of the school magazine,. on some "important business." The maid duly impressed, took the card and went in search of the young lady. Failing to find Miss Harrington in the halls, however, she proceeded to the young ladies' sleeping apartments. As she neared the room of the young lady in question, Miss Brock, her roommate, stepped out, closing the door behind her. With her most ingratiating manner and haui^al grin, Crazy Mary approached and in her slow, halting speech, said to Miss Brock: "C'ud? yu'?tell?me?wher' ?Mis'? Ha'ing iwii v, uu iv/un . "Well, she can't come right now, as. she is in her pedagogy," anounced Miss Brock again, meaning to convey the impression that Miss Harrington, who was a student in the normal department, was at that moment in the pedagogy class-room. The slow-witted maid listened in silence, then turned and went slowly back to the parlor. The gentleman, who was now growinc impatient, arose as she entered: "Well?" he said. "She?can'?com'?right?now?suh, ?sh'?is?in?her?petticoats," said the obedient maid with her unconven-, tional grin. Marion Smith, Kinards, S. C. ASSIGNED STOCK FOR SALE.

The next time you think you need a dose of calomel, don't take it. Even if you have taken it often before, thia might be the very dose that would salivate you.
