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.

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.

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.
