We do not think that Gov. 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

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.

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

duty to do this?to lay Bimself on the 1

for office is concerned. "We believe if

"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.
