Rosemont cemetery has been sadiy neglected in the recent past, and is today a reflection upon the city of NewS%/vwwtr or/\ f O Vim or nACCDC luc nttuo ai c waiug . eion, and. there seems to be very little evidence of any effort to keep them down. The fence is in a dilapidated condition, with a large number of the panels off. The whole cemetery shows a crying need of some care and attention. If those who frave the matter in charge are not going to look after the city of the dead, there should be some effort by those owning squares to take the necessaxy steps to provide a meth-1 od by which it may he looked after and cared for. Rosemont is a beautiful location for a* cemetery. It would not take much effoTt or expense to keep it as it Bnouia De Kepi. Certainly this is a matter which should not be allowed to be neglected longer. It is a sad commentary upon a Christian people to permit neglect of the sacred spot where the dust of their dead mingles with the soil. M It becomes more apparent every day that Mr. Bryan is working for the presidential nomination for himself. ?? The Columbia corespondent of the News and Courier has been dreaming political dreams in regard to Newberry county. The newspapers are charging Gov.

Governor Harmon carries Ohio for j 'the presidential nomination, notwith- j standing the fact that Mr. Bryan tour- ! ed the State and waged a hard cam-! paign in the effort to have him de-; feated. Mr. Wanderer Wilson didn't j get much of a look-in in Ohio. Now Mr. Bryan ought to keep quiet for awhile?but he won't. The Columbia State bad a terrible! death struggles a result of the fail-: ure of South Carolina tc instruct for ! its dearly-beloved Wilson the Wander- i er. We advise the State to cheer up; j it will lose on several other political! propositions before the game is over. Don't die so hard. It must hurt, and! there is no use making a spectacle of one's self when one is defeated. "The Idler" writes a column for the Newberry Herald and News.

There are possibly some more idlers here, ^as there are everywhere else, but there is only one "The Idler."

TiLe Newberry Herald and News | would like to have a "preferential primary on the candidates for the Democratic nomination for the presidency, if for no other reason than to let those people of South Carolina, who are claiming such an overwhelming1 sentiment for Gov. Wilson, know a few i things." Of course The Herald and; News knows all about it.?Orangeburg! Times and Democrat. The Herald and News doesn't claim to know all about it These Wilson fellows are the ones who have claimed to "know all about it." We only wish we knew as much as they have claim- i ed to know. But we can be very modest, we think, and at the same time claim to know about As much j about it as they do. The Anderson Intelligencer .an- j nounces that Col. Leon M. Green has taken editorial charge of that paper. Col. V. B. Cheshire, the owner of the j paper, says the business end of the Intelligencer has reached a point \ ! where he can no longer attend to that! and edit the paper at the same time, j and hence Mr. Green's editorial man- i agement Mr. Green was formerly Columbia corresponent of the News and Courier, which asked for his resignation as j correspondent or as member of the j governor's staff. Mr. Green promptly resigned as correspondent. Mr. Green is one of the, most cap- , able young newspaper men in the! State. Because he refused to resign from the governor's staff rather than from the staff of the News and Courier j he has been made a target for most of | the newspapers of the State. This has been uncalled-for, and we ; -.Vrt*- +Vii-r>l^ ATr> riroon TlJJc 511 fpfifprl ' live tlllixrv. iUl . Ui ?svw?.n,? vv? , by it ' 'I MR. GREEX'S ACCOUYT. We have refrained from discussing the account of Leon M. Green for spe- ; cial detective services, under the em-1 ployment of the governor, because we j have felt that the effort to twist the j items into confusion by reason of the : difference between a salary basis and j a per diem basis was so apparent on the part of some of the newspapers, j and their attacks so nermeated with ~ political prejudice, the attempted flings would so disgust the thinking j pepple tt^ev^vould fall of tjaeir own i weight. T*he Yorkville Enquirer discusses the matter at some length. "Of; course, the 'regularity' of the demand for itemization is beyond question," it j says, "but if any one who has kept up j with the matter, regardless of which side he is on, honestly believes there i i was any motive for that demand other j ban a belief that it would embarrass somebody, why he needs to study some more. But now the itemization is out. j That the itemization has been done merely as a compliance with the law is evident. Work of this nature could hardly be compensated on any other basis than by the month with expenses added. But the account is interestS ing. It shows that certain work that I nnH imnAr+ant hae noon |l?> UCV/COOai J C^JLIV*. * vu-ii W. wv/v/ii and is being done, and people who ! really think are likely to be impressed with the idea that if this work is to be done at all, it is just as well that there be no official publicity about it, such as has been given. There is a suggestion about it also that even if Mr. Green was put on this detective job as a kind of compensation for the loss of his other job, he is evidently giving value received to the best of his ability, and except through a defr\r* irtiytT niiQotinnoVila i ti 1 Oil t J 4Ut advantage there would have been no KODAI Bring your films to us I <rivp vnn rarpfiil work, nrni 51,v Jw" ' 7 r- | information?all?and at i Buy Your Film 1 \ 0.&T.E.SALT EAST END MJ interference with his work. Of course, since there is no question that Mr. Green is working on a salary basis, ** 1 wAmurorl f n ana ne nets ueen ic4um.u ^ ( on a per diem basis, it will be easy i enough to ridicule the alleged incon- 1 sistencies of the amount; but it will be difficult?very difficult?td make anybody see that there is anything behind it all, other than a desire to secure political advantage even at the | expense of the public service." Dr. Scherer's Success. Columbia State. Dr. James A. B. Scherer is doing a great educational work in California. So much is apparent from internal evidence in the new catalogue of Throop Polytechnic institute, at Pasadena, of which he became president at the time of its reorganization and enlargement in 1909. A physical equip- j ment in keeping with the ambitious i _ l plans of the school has been provided, j Within the past two years two majes- I tic buildings have b^en erected and a large structure to comprise an auditorium and an art gallery is shortly to be raised. During the past year four friends of the school increased its endowment by $250,000 at the same time all debts on the property were cleared away. A high standard is maintained in teaching the applied sciences and the essential humanities, the chief aim being to produce skilled 1 ancinoprc whn ar ft 3-llci rcsuui tciHI .. also broadly cultured. The institute] is the only school of technology west j of the Mississippi, and situated in a I region of large industrial develop-j nients and much larger latent resour- [ ces, it has wisely sought to relate it- J self closely to the industrial problems of its environment. Dr. Scherer is an ( admirable director of this great work. Educated at Roanoke college and i Pennsylvania college, he was for ilv> J years teacher of English in the imperial college at Saga, Japan; for six years professor of history in the Lui theran seminary at Charleston, and I for four years president of Newberry | college. In this wide range of prjfVisional work, supplemented with authorship and extensive travel, his large natural abilities have ripened to a rich maturity. It is pleasanr to know that on the Pacific coast ho nas found an important and congenial field. | The Convention. Strother, S. C., May 15, 1912. Editor of The Herald and News: 1 have just read the proceedings of the cdtavention, and note, in one par- j ticular, that they did not conform to j the general rule or custom. It has been the custom to name as% delegates at large to tne national convention,tne two United States senators, the governor, and the chairman of tne State executive committee. But Blease's opuonents had declared- that he would ! not be named if they could prevent it. j Wei;, while we peace-loving farmers regret such a state of affairs, the Menus ol' Elease should be well pleased to see the antis do the wrong thing 1 at the right time. It simply shows the dagger thrust at Blease, but landing in the hearts of the majority of the people of South Carolina, for the majority must have elected him governor.

And when J quiet is restored, we may all come'j back into the fold again, but let us have our governor the second term. It's customary. The farmers have grown tired of strife and vituperation.
