The Herald and News Entered at the Postoffice at NewIwTy, S. C., as 2?d class matter. E. H. AULL, EDITOR. Friday, August 1, 1913 ?M??????^ | CONDITIONS AT CLEMSON. We tfrint in another column a review of conditions at Clemson college by Superintendent of Education J. E. Swearingen. We refer to it mainly to call attention to a recommendation, or rather a suggestion, made by Mr. Swearingeii. that the matter of charging tuition in State colleges is an evil common to al1 of them and should be abolisned. We agree entirely with this suggestion, and six or eight years ago when thp pditor of The Herald and News was a member of the legislature, he offered a bill abolishing tuition charges in all States colleges. It is not only an evil, but it offers an inducement to many people to make false statements as to their financial abil ity in order to save the pitiaDie tuition that they have to pay for their bov or girl entering college. The tuition charge is $40.00 a year and from the S34 cadets at Clemson, the t^tal collection last year was only $5,050. We believe also that scholarships provided by the State should be azolyoung men and women who really are ? ?"'imnn ivhn rPnllv fl TP \Oung men miu ?> umcu i able to educate themselves, or whose parents are able to pay for their education. We believe that the State should maintain all her higher institutions of learning and say to every boy and girl in South Carolina that here are these institutions, free to all of you who are prepared to enter, and we believe we could safely make thP assertion that any boy or girl in South Carolina, who is prepared toj enter the Freshman class and has I the capacity and ambition to take a higher education, could find a way. AS TO ROADS. It is with no intention to criticise anybody, but with the hope tnat we j may wake up the proper officials and the people of the county, that we call attention to the fact that one traversing the roads in the upper portion of his State will be forced to the conclusion that the roads of Xewberry county do not compare favorably with the roads of the otner counties betM-oon hprp and Greenville, along either route which may be chosen. There is a wonderful development going forward in the upper section of South Carolina, and there is little doubt that it was made possible in the beginning by the improvement of miKlid Vli<rhwav?! IliC ? -i v . One of Newberry county's greatest needs is better roads, and when the people of Newberry county wake up to a realization of this great need they are going to demand better roads, and when they demaL'l them they will have them. ?'? ^rAATkT^ A VTV riAIT T>T T? 4 C'T tAJfcJV JUUUJK.L AA1I IxUt. DLLA3JD. The News and Courier and the Florence Times have advanced ab-! surd propositions in connection with the course of Governor Elease in the military matter. We are not surprised at the absurdity of the position taken by the Times. We are rather surprised at the attitude of the News and Courier. In an editorial reproduced in the Yotvc nnrl fnnripr. the Florence Times says: "Every little bit helps and Adjutant General Moore is doing his share to* wards boosting Blease into the senate." Of course everybody knows that Adjutant General Moore's mistakes could not boost anybody into office. Why not come out like a man and acknowledge that the course of the gov~ ~ ri'n c o Y"? rl CI ilUI ill 111 C lliatLCl ?ao pi aiiu is receiving the commendation of the militia and of the people of the State? Commenting upon the editorial of the Times, the News and Courier says liiC gen ticniaxi 111 qucoLiuu V^rc-u^iaA Moore) has been successful in enabling the governor to recover himself from the highly embarrassing position ; 4 in which he was left when his corres-' ponder.ee with Secretary of War Garrison terminated." This is unworthy of the News and Courier. As matter of fact, the position taken by the governor has saved one third of the militia organization of South Carolina, in that portion of the State where the militia is really needed, and why try to charge up tor General Moore's mistakes?sad though they be?the result of the course of wisdom taken at the proper time? Better acknowledg the corn. It is more manly. THE SEWS OF PROSPERITY. T*?. - OyvX "* * X .1 ^ I Aiitj luuuger set jtiuvriaiueu <u sjmcious Country Home of S. J. Kohn.?PeopJp Coming and Going.

L. Blease. ( "I take this opportunity of denouinc- ; ing his statement that I intended to 1 draw pay as wilfully and maliciously c false," asid the adjutant general, in referring to the governor's charge r of the extra pay.

His statement in full follows: Gen. Moore's $tatemeut; "State of South Carolina, Adjutant! General's office, Columbia, S. C.: "Replying to Governor Elease's in- j terview carried in The News and j Courier and several other daily pa- i pers of July 27, in which he states ; that I had special orders No. 60 is- I sued in order that I might draw pay I on these encampments, I have pre-1 viously denied this charge and by way i of explanation stated that I had told ' Col. Babb, the disbursing officer for j South Carolina, who called my atten-: tion to the provision contained in circular No. 2, which allowed the adjutant general pay during State en campments for 1913, that I could not conscientiously accept this pay because of the shortage of funds belonging to the National Guard of this State. This conversation with Col. Babb took place some ten days or two weeks before the encampment and I also had a conversation with former ' Adjt. Gen. John D. Frost, covering | this same subject aind made the same I statement to him, together with Major R. Boyd Cole, of the 3d infantry, and several officers of this regiment at the beginning of camp at Aiken, S. C., all of which was previous to the criticisms made by Governor Blease, covering the purport of special orders No. 60. I will, as soon as I can get them prepared, furnish affidavits substantiating the above conversations had with these officers, which I am sure will conclusively contradict his contentions to all fair thinking people, and, as far as he is concerned, I take this opportunity of denou/ncing his statement tnat i intended to draw pay as wilfully and maliciously false.
