The Herald and News Entered at the Postoffice if vew ! $**ry, S. C., as 2*xi class matter. e. a. aull, editor. m=====?~ | Tuesday, August 12, 1913. AS TO THE OBSERVER. In a labored editorial reeking with the insincerity of its farmer position, the Newberry Observer, in its last issue seeking to defend itself, makes a personal attack, not upon the editor of ! The Herald and News, but upon the positions which he has held under ihe county and under the State. This dis- I play of that fine courtesy which was to be expected from one local editor to another is a matter of. course, coming from the editor of The Observer, ! who is an exemplar of newspaper; ethics, and, therefore, thanks would be j . surplusage. So far as the post office matter is concerned, all the candidates were tome men, and it takes little effort, in a contest of that kind, to display pyrotechnics in regard to the support of home men. In the name of common j sense, who could have been postmaster ! I at Newberry except a home man? The Hera.d and News and its editor supported no one for the post office and ! ' _ -cc I fought no one for trie post omce, . knowning it was useless to do either. The editor of The Herald and News was not asked to go on the bond of . any one, and doubtless could not have !, qualified if he had been asked. The Observer says that it is not true J ..that it has tried to "pull down" , i Newberry candidates for office in the past. If the editor of the Observer will , study his files he will see wherein the I, error of his statement lies. 1 ?? Ortn+Vi r'or^lina is ice govexuui ui ouuui a Xewbrry man?the only governor . Newberry county has ever had. From ( the days of the "Peanut Politics" editorial, and before *:hat, back to 1888, and since, the Observer has tried to pull him down. The asistant attorney general is a Newberry man. Even in j t the last issue of the Observer, the ^ Observer by inuendo reflected upon j ?v;_v V. ? rinD TV'Vin t>H6 Omce WHICH lit: uuiua. vyj.iv, i. j ^ "knows the history of Newberry and : ^ the history of South Carolina needs no argument. The matter is self-evient. The editor of the Observer knows how ridiculous is his statement that the editor of-The Herald and News has iC supported men for office, who, it C elected, would show their gratitude by eivine: the editor of The Herald and News a job. The absurdity of any | such argument as this?an argument too absurd to be taken seriously even * from so sericus a man as the editor 1 of the Observer?might be conclusive- ' ly shown by pointing to some men who, with the editor of the Observer, make up a small "coterie." Under seme circumstances and conditions, such a charge would be a serious one. j It is not so regarded here, coming as j it does. As to "courtesy" and "kindness" shown The Herald and News by the Observer, The Herald and News hereby acknowledges, with deep gratitude, every kindness shown by the Observer* If the Herald and News has been able ' - it- - . 10 SHOW IDC uuseivci nmuucoo Ui "courtesy" it was shown in a spirit in which no public thanks are asked or expected, and, so far as The Herald and News is concern-ed, such will never be publicly charged against the Observer. * /-er*J ' ???^ ? TRIP I>TO SALUDA COUNTY. A trip from Newberry into Saluda county on Wednesday was interesting from many points of view. Before undertaking the- trip, in- ! quiry was made as to the roads through Saluda county; the condition of the roads of Newberry was known. Information was given that the roads of Saluda were in fine condition. We have come to the conclusion that the average man in the country needs to ! be educated as to what is a good road.! There were stretches of roads in Sa luda that were good, but even in these there were ditches and crossings which required some slowing up. At one place in the county, we ran into the chaingang at work, and if it completes the work, it will be a good I road, but the trouble in Saluda is the same as in Newberry. Good roads will not remain good unless some provision is made for their maintenance. It scarcely pays to build a good road unless provision is made to maintain the road. The occasion of the trip to Saluda was to attend a meeting of Red Men of Good Hope Tribe. There were four or five hundred people present. An elegant picnic dinner was served along with barbecued hash. The occasion was a very pleasant one. This tribe is doing good work for the order and for the community. The tribe, while it has only fourteen members, has bought a lot and erected a lodge room which will be used as a meeting place for the people of that community. The crops in Saluda county are exceedingly fine, especially the corn. Both the cotton and corn are in fine growing condition. In the party, besides the writer, were Mr. T. B. -Kibler, Mr. and Mrs. Wylie Koon and little daughter. The trip was made via the Dead Fall road and the Steel Bridge. We hope Supervisor Chappell will Timrlr r\ r-t o r- cr\r\r> or. n ?A/i a mio i caoju ao ouuii az5 possible. It would not take a great deal of work to put this road in fine condition and the merchants and business men of Xewberry should cooperate with him in putting this road in condition for the fall business. The people along the road, we understand, are ready and willing to contribute with their teams and their la bor in co-operation with Sup- : ervisor Chappell in making a good road from Newberry to the ( Steel bridge, a distance of nine miles. A. great deal of trade comes to Newberry from Saluda county this way, and it would pay the business men of , the city to co-operate with the supervisor and the people along this road in a substantial way in order to have i good road, and show to the people }f Saluda that their businss is appre- : i This is a mighty fine time to.use >he split log drag. v There are many -oads in the county which if the split < og drag were used after the rains vould be in fine condition. c?st rery little and does a great deal of j jood. 1 SOME GOOD WORK. < 1 Mr. W. A. Hill, county supervisor, leserves the well done of the people I )f Newberry, town and country, for j; ;he improvement which has been made j it the old courthouse and also on the grounds of the new courthouse. It s a work which should have been lone long ago, and the expeniture for t was a "wise expenditure. DOWN GO p?
