Don't forget to use the split log drag after this rain we have had during the week. The roads need it before the winter season begins in earnest. There should be a sane observance cf the Christinas season. We again plead for the enforcement of the ordinance against shooting rireworks on the streets and in the yards of other people as well as in your own yard. ]t is dangerous to property and life, j j An election has been oraerea iu uuv-.> another slice of Lexington county into Richland county. This will include the towns of White Rock and Ballen-j tine. The election to take a part into Newberry county, we understand, is to be ordered soon. If this cutting up meane better roads between Newberry and Columbia we hope it will continue. The Herald and News will print only one issue next week. We have always taken out one issue at Christmas since the paper has heen printed twice a week. Ws will print the Tuesday paper, but no Friday paper.! If you have anything you want to ad vertise please bear this in mind. There will be no paper printed on next Friday. The State board of health at its recent meeting again condemned the hosiery mill at the penitentiary as unsanitary and not a proper place in which to work convicts. Gov. Blease very strongly intimates that if the asain refuses to do away w with the hosiery mill that he will turn all the convicts out of the penitentiary that are employed in the mill. He has repeatedly condemned the hosiery mill as a "tuberculosis incubator" and re-commended to the legislature its abolition. City council of Columbia has purchased a car that will run as a sort of Sherlock Holmes car to test the I speed of autoists who persist in violating the speed ordinance. It will run the maximum speed and any car passing it will be known to exceed the Mmit. It does seem a little strange| that people who should know better j will insist on violating the law. Bs- j pecially this speed law in the face of so many accidents. These accidents are eenerallv the result of fast or care less or reckless driving. In this day of trust breaking and combination, smashing it may be ini esting to know that it is rumored that the State administration in South Carolina may bring action against some of the foreign feTtiliger companies doing business in this State for combining against the farmers of the State in restraint of trade, and aiso that some measure along the same line a 3 "? ^ laoriolofiirA may be mtroauceu m mc It is also rumored that bills will be introduced in the legislature requiring all fertilizer companies to show the source from which the amonia used is obtained. It is also stated these measures will be backed by the farmers'j union. I ?w? DOING THINGS. We admire the way the chamber of i commerce of Greenville has gone about doing things. A chamber of commerce, or for that matter any "T>oro ni 79 tirvD IS Only viircr ukjuj vi v/i jjuiwuvvw, ? - ( valuable when it does things. To do things is its mission. Otherwise it has no excuse- for existence. Nothing personal or local in this observation. But the Greenville chamber has employed Mr. C. B. Haddon, State agent of the boys1' corn club work, to become farm demonstration agent for Greenville county an expert, who shall devote ganized plan of the chamber of commerce, to put in the field in Greenville county an exjert, who shal' devote his entire tirn^ to the development of Mr. Haddun will be an information bu- 1 reau for the farmers of the county,1, I1 will help the school boys, and the i school ^irls in their corn club and | : romato club work. In fact, it is diffi?! ! i cult to tell how far reaching in the de vetopment of the rural districts this j movement will prove. This is what j we call doing things. By putting up only a part of the. money for this work Greenville gets! outside help, because there are al- j ways people who are willing to help j people who are doing things. By pledging a fund of $1,000 a year | for two years, to he devoted to de-! velopment agricultural interests in | Greenville county, the chamber of i commerce has a guarantee of $1,000 aj year, for two years, from the Nation-j al association of grain exchanges, of j Chicago. This fund of $2,000 i- to be further suppleinnted by the contributions from the farm extension depart- j i nf rinmcnn ^nllpjxp and the de- i , partment of agriculture of the United , States. , 1 There is no better section 1:1 Scuth j Carolina for carrying on work of this character than Newberry county. Peo- i pie who do things have got to wake up. By a little concert of action and cooperation it would be easy to raue $1,000 for work of this character, and why could not the same outside encouragement be had. But you must. do something yourself first. ? AS TO COMPULSORY EDUCATION.1 It is stated that a compulsory edu- j cation measure will be introduced in j i the next legislature. Gov. Blease gives out an interview that he will certainly place his veto on any such measure should it pass 'he legislature. He states that this questiw was an issue in the recent campaign, and that he was elected on the platform against such a measure. It may have been in his platform, but it is our opinion that there were no issues discussed in the campaign, and more's the pity there wasn't. As we recall it, the campaign was more a campaign of abuse and j vituperation1 and of personalities than j j any sort of campaign of education, or j even remote discussion of issues. It j * | is known that Gov. Biease has taken j j position against a compulsory educa- i | tion measure long before he was elect- j ed governor, and, therefore, his posi! tion now is entirely consistent with his past record on the subject. Ther is need for something. Com- j pulsory education may not be the solu- j, tion, but some means should be devis-1 ed to force those parents* who seem j 1 not to realize the importance -of edu-'1 eating their children to wake up to |' 11 their duty. And then the children j, should be given an opportunity to do 1, something for themselves and not be j treated as chattel. We may not be ready for compulsory J education, but it is high time we werej getting ready to do something for the j children of the commonwealth. We 1 believe some sort of mild law on the ] subject would do good. It seems in J this day we have to have a law for everything, and we- can think of nothing of more vital importance to the j State than the education of the chil- J dren, and if the parents will not see j that their children arei educated then j the State should step in and say theyj _i?TMo-Vif tn, tav fhp neotlle ! ttilU.ll Lftr. j, no ^ A j for their education carries with it the right to see that the children are giv- ^ en the advantages thus offered. There is little use to spend money for the schools if the children are not in the I <3 schools. They can not get the bene- ' fit if they do not attend. , j UNITED STATES CIVIL SEKYICE J EXAMINATION.
