Blease i should be severe on President Wilson in the matter of negroes holding positions in t'iie departments at Washington and 'having white girls work under them as that is a matter for con J +v,? gress ana xur me reyrescuianvcs ui uic | pcoj?le. It should be stopped, for the good of both races, and the heads of j the departments should look after it, j and if the civil servce laws intervene j then let the laws be amended or re- ; pealed. As to his interfering in local State politics we have no idea he 'has ever had any such intention or cared anyJ ... tnmg aoout tne personnel or tne repre- j sentativps of the people so -long as1 they were men of character and abili-*- j ty, and every good citizen should be interested to that extent. That the senators have been trying to regulate ! matters down here there seems to be no doubt, and the people will settle that in t'iieir own good way and good time. No need to worry. an* ' "VTr>T onrin CPPTTIS to be TUSt OC^XICL LVl i *.*. w a little fickle. He ba<!e farewell to politics some time ago, and now the j papers are saying that he will probably come again, and he is undecided whether he will take the position of United States senator or whether he i will be governor. A preacher from j down the country wrote him that the ! people were crying aloud for him to . deliver them from the thraldom of the politician and the demagogue, by tak ? ?. -3 ing the joD 01 governor auu ocuawi . Tillman advised him to run for toe sen- {'' ate for the?purpose of defeating Blease ! 1 and electing Smith. And thus saving | '< the good name of the State. Tillman : 1 pointed out where it was Ihis-patriotid < duty to do this?to lay Bimself on the 1 altar of his country as a willing sac- < rifice. Tillman didn't want him to 1 win, and didn't expect him to win, 1 Ml j but thought that he migfrt be instru- 1 i mental in defeating Blease. TT-io UnrolH anrl has no ad- < JL XJLVX UiU MMAV* ? . w ? vice to offer. This is said to be a free : country. It is free so far as running for office is concerned. "We believe if you :put up the price and sign the pledge any citizen may run for any job .^ithin the gift of the people. Mr. McLaprin is a very delightful gentleman? and a pleasant speaker, and lias * T as nfcuch right to run for any job as any 'other citizen. "Wfe notice in an article from Prof. y \v xr Tofo in tha *tailv where 1 ,T. ? -u.v ? V JT-Zhe gave iCie rural school supervisors in the counties during the school 1 year 1912-13 that he did not mention any for Newberry county, but that during this year he names Miss Sadie Goggans for Newberry, which latter,1 is correct. j1 We desire to call his attention io the j fact that during the last school year ; Miss Elizabeth Hawkins did tais work J ! most efficiently, as the results of her labor will show. SCie did not begin I work until the first of the year after j the schools had all been running for i nearly half the session. She organiz- 1 ( ed a number of improvement associations, but more stress was laid up- , on the material betterment of the 1 schools and as a result of this work '< there are today in Newberry county 1 six rural graded schools with two ' teachers each, and entitled to State aid to the mount of $200.00 each, j each one has a new and modern building, which it did not have. It was through her workj mainly t'hat these results were accomplished, and we must protest that Mr. Tate has done tier and the work she did an injustice by ignoring Newberry county in the ! list of counties that had rural supervisors during the last school year. Before tlr's work was done there was j no n.i al graded school :"n t! is county an<i we have heard of being established since. And this was only a j*art of the work he did. Mr. Tare %as a copy of r^r re- .>rt ->.i fi'e in hi otiW. Ti:< people o: XevVberry know of the work ana results speak for themselves but we want tCie credit to go here it belongs. It is getting time for advice :o the legislature. Only about a month before the session begins. Newberry has ten citizens who report that they are liable to pay the income tax imposed by the State on all whose incomes are in excess of $2,.">00.00, and they pay a total of $349.0". as against $337.69 in 1912. The counties of Abbeville and Greenwood have respectively 19 and 15 who report that they are liable to pay the income tax. We are surprised that the rich and fine farming counties of Darlington and Marlboro have no citizens with incomes in excess of $2,500 00 a year. This tax does not amount to much, but the figures show that it has increased from $6,890.55 in 18S8 wiaen the law was passed, io $17,r 770.15 in 1913. There is one or two things which this tax law shows: Either there are very few people in South Carolina whose incomes are in excess of $2,500.00 or there are a great many who do not make a correct return of ther incomes. THIS IS KOAD BRAGGING TIME. The Newberry Herald and News preaches the use of the split log drag in almost every number of the paper. The split log drag, or some other kinu of road drag is a thing worth talking about and using, and Tue Herald and News is doing good service in keeping the matter before its readers. It is to be hoped that its converts to t'his idea are numerous.?Rock Hill Herald. The converts are not numerous, we regret to say, but we know it takes time and patience and keeping everlastingly at it to win, and we are trying to exercise all these virtues. After awhile the light will dawn. The Greenwood Journal says that 'President Singleton appreciates the fact that the success of the Merchants isociation is due in large measure to :he co-operation of t<he citizens of 3-reenwood." He might have said in :ruth that it was due entirely to the 2o-operation of the citizens of Greenwood. Co-operation is a good word for a community, and it is necessary for the success of the communitv. Without it no community can grow and prosper and no business organization can prosper in any community. We are pleased to note that the trustees of Rosemont cemetery are ben ginning to make a noise. They ask each lot owner to give them two dollars and they will have the lot kept clean for a period of one year. If not this way they ask that you look after the cleaning of your own lot. That is good as far as it goes, but how about that artistic fence and tfnose beautiful and rugged driveways that adorn the place. Why not do something yourself on them or turn the thing over to some one who will do it. Supervisor Chappell has not scrap ed the road from Newberry to Kinards so that the proposition of Mr. S. M. Duncan might be taken advantage of and the road kept scraped and dragged all the winter. dewberry at the Shrine Meeting. Mr. Editor?The following citizens Xewberrv attended the "Shrine of Omar," at Sumter oil Thanksgiving iay: Messrs. Claude, Harry, Bk, A., and Col. Fred. H. Dominick, B. L. Dougherty, Prof. 0. B.

It is hard to describe one's feelings on an occasion like this, for it was simply too big a thing, and would require too much space to do it anything like justice, suffice it to say, that everybody was supremely happy, and they were happy without the usual accom i- - a 3 m T>av?1S\<?* painineut. 01 oiu reu-e^c ju.hi corn," drunkenness being conspicuous for its absence.
