AULL, EDITOR Friday, November 21, 1912. j i i Senator McLaurin we note is probably thinking of getting back in the race for governor, or rather of getting into the running because we believe that he claims never to have hopn an avowed candidate. Well, the water is fine. There is plenty of room. Mr. S. M. Duncan proposes and promises that if Supervisor Chappell will just run the scrape over the road from Newberry to KSnards that he will with - -J-vi the cooperation ot tne neiguuuia emu those who live along the road see that it is scraped or dragged with the split log drag regularly after that. We feel sure that Supervisor Chappell will call this hand and co-operate with those good people. That is the only way un- 1 der the present system to have any sort of passable roads. We are pleased to note from the statement of County Superintendent Brown, which we print in this issue, that the high schools at WMtmire and Little Mountain will receive the same State aid as Prosperity and will, frnm oicrht mOTlthS tnereiore, cumc uy JLX Viu ^ schools to nine months. These are good schools and they need the help whidli he is able to get for them. We doubt if there is a school in the State that made the progress that was made during last session by the Whitmire school. The building is now one of the best equipped in the State and school has a corps of fine teach- j ers. It may not be exactly and properly a matter for editorial comment but we are going to say that if the exam-; pie of Mr. Robinson of tihe ten cent1 store in putting up a beautiful elec- j trie sign were followed by some of the j i other merchants that it would add ' greatly to the appearance of Main j street. We take pleasure in commend- , ing the- public spirit and enterprise j of Mrv Robinson. mi One of th3 most progressive farmers of the county informs us that the road machine did some fine work on the road in his section. We take pleasure in making the statement and if we have done injury to this machine we want to apologize. We never saw it in motion. We only saw the condition after the machine left the road. It may be that the machine requires that some smoother come after it. While it is true The Herald and News failed to g"et the papers in the postoffice on Monday night they were put in the office at Newberry early Tuesday morning. The postmaster at Kinards says one package did not reach there until Wednesday and the * ot PAmaria nhnn^d that yusuno-occi en. r? the papers for that office had not arrived on Wednesday. The fault for these delays is somewhere else than at the office of publication. We are going to make an effort not to be late any more, but sometimes accidents will occur. . . I The tire in tlie moving picture I I machine at the opera house gives oc ; casion to emphasize what we have 1 heretofore remarked, the need of better facilities to emptv trie opera house in case of fire or the alarm. The Greenville News of Tuesday car ried a special from Washington stating that the rumor was current i, Washington that Governor Blease ha. decided to quit the race tor the senau and enter a third race for governor There was much interest and greai excitement in Washington over t:.< statement. The statement also car ried the story that insurgency wa rampant among those present at th Blease conference in Columbia durin; fair week. When asked about the story of hi quitting the race for the senate ar entering for a third term as governor Gov. Blease was emphatic an characteristic if not elegant in hit reply. He said simply that it was a | "damn lie." It is wonderful how those fellows up in Washington feel that they should run the politics of this State. They : must feel the responsibility very greatly and the burden must at times be irksome, to attend to the affairs of the nation and at the same time regulate j the politics of the home-folk. I The Herald and News dislikes to make excuses and apologies for its own failures, but sometimes it is best to do it, so as to explain certain things which some people may not understand and, taerefore, will criticize. For more 'than three weeks now one of our most valuable men has been sick and unable to work. uur linotype opwtiw/r is uul an. ?- i pert, but we desire and intend thai J lie shall have the opportunity to be one, and it only takes time. The advertising patronage for the last two months has been pleasingly good, but | sometimes the copy is not received in time to handle with the force that we had as expeditiously as we would ' like, and as a result of all these1 tilings we have been late in printing the paper and a few times have missed the evening mails which has - I U-l- - caused tne paper tu ue laic uu aumc of the rural routes. j For the same reasons we have been j unable at times to handle all of the 1 local items that we would like. To crowd out a local item touches on the nerves of our very efficient local reporter, for he imagines fcaat some one will be unkind enough to think, if not to say, that he is not on to his job and fails to get on to the local happenings of the community. Not so. For all of the short comings of the paper within the last two or three weeks in the matters mentioned, the editor assumes all resp >ility and blame. The force we have !aaa ! has been and is doing all that could be expected, and sometimes more,; and the local reporter is always on ; his job. We will try to remedy these i things in <the future and do our best i to that end. Some people on our city list who j have the papers delivered have asked in a rather unkind tone of voice if we i had changed the paper to a morning j paper. Well, it alw^s has been a morning paper printed and delivered , toe afternoon before. When we are ! late the carriers can't, well make their 1 rounds in the night time and therefore it has sometimes been the morning of publication when the paper was delivered. We made it a rule a long time ago ! to do the best we could under the cir-; cumstances at all times and not to worry about the results. Of course, it would be untrue to say that we did not like the approval of our fellow citizens but if they don't give it we j do not whine about it and worry over it. We have felt, however, that in jus- j tice to tiiiose who were laboring with us that it was due them to make this explanation. The truth of the matter is that the business of editing and pub lish.ng a country newspaper is no bed of roses at best, and if you worry and fre about everything you will soon worry and fret youiseif out of exis- j tence., iML uJ of us pull together and work together for a greater and better town j and men we will not have time to j criticize our neighbor.

He is doing every thing is his power to serve the people and to improve the roads, but his means are limited and we did not want to see him waste money on this mac&ine and the kind of work it was doing. That is all. We have before commended the energy and enthusiasm of Mr. Chappell and take pleasure in doing it again.
