The Herald and News Entered at the Postoffice * x'^wVrry, S. C., as 2**d class matter. E. H. AULL, EDITOR. IFridav, September 12, 1913. The Thaw case is a striking illustration of the tendency of the times. If it had not been for the Thaw millions there would have been nothing of the ciae. Of course, Thaw is not crazy and no one has ever believed it. It is unfortunate that prominent and learned men can be influenced by money in the way they can. Money on both sides of this case has produced the evidence each wanted, and savea 9 Thaw from the electric chair but money on the other side has kept Thaw crazy much longer than he thought .he would be. His escape and the efforts to get him back to Matteawan are disgusting and a travesty on juistce, but here again comes in the power and influence of money. If Thaw's money should give out we would hear no more of Thaw. Supervisor Chappell is warning out all the hands on the roads who did mot pay the commutation tax and while there are no overseers he is.employing regular men to go and see that' those who have not paid are doing full six deal of good for the roads. And it this up he will be able to do a great deal of good for the roads .And it is better to have regular road men to work these hands than to have them worked by overseers, because he will get more work and them these men have some experience and there will be some uniformity in the working of the roads. Only this work could have started several months ago. Fourteen hands in one squad and about forty in another should be able in six days to do some little for the roads. THERE IS AS OPTHTIStf. There is an optimism in the atmosphere in Newfberry which one cannot help but notice which has. net been felt here for some time. It seems to have taken hold on the community j within the last few weeks and Der vades everything. You don't hear people complaining, you don't hear them making unkind remarks about other people. We believe it marks a new nra, for the town. Everybody has the iiea that business is going to be good ihis year. "We even heard a farmer say the other day that he had a good crop? he best he had ever had?that he and his brother would make a hundred bales of cotton this year and that he v.'ould make good clear money on his farm. You know farmers have an unfortunate ihabit of complaining, if it is not about thedrouth it is about the incessant rains or something else, and it is largely habit. There is a good crop in this county this year and the price of cotton is good and there is no reason why the farmer should not be happy. A good corn crop, a 'good hay crop, a good pea crop and a good cotton crop, and the :^rice is good. Why shouldn't everybody be happy and make everybody else happy. One thing we want to say to the farmer: You better sell as fast as you ;ather and get to the gin so long as the price ranges around twelve cents, ret rid of your debts and stop interest and put money in circulation. It '"oes not pay to hold cotton and pay .'.iterest when cotton will bring twelve ents the pound. Remember that. It is important. Let every one encourage the optimistic feeling and talk good times and jood business and they will come ..lucti quicker than by knocking and Kicking about everything. Sell your cotton, pay your obligations, read The Herald and News and I,e happy. Haw does it stand witn narry Yhaw anyway?
