Special to The Herald and News.
Columbia, April 9.?The campaign
'of 1914 may be said to have opened.
Candidates for governor have been announcing
their platfQrms in the public
prints, aud a general activity along
all political lines seems to have been
starred. At least four of the candidates
tor governor ,have given ouc
their formal platforms, and it is expected
that others will fall in line and
I state the issues upon which they will
ask the votes of the people this summer.
The Senatorial Race.
The race for the United States senate
seems to be between Governor
Blease and Senator Smith,
r "without a tmra entry. mere
was talk for a time of other candidates,
but one by one they withdrew,
and there are now only two candidates
in the race, and, unless something unforeseen
happens, these will be the
only two candidates when the time
for filing pledges expires. As matrer
of fact, it has appeared to some of
I those who have been watching develL
opments, that there have been several
"'mentions," so-called, as "feelers,"
Bbut that the opposition to Governor
^^Blease in this race has come to the
^ conclusion that any additional candi
m *da:es against him, not matter who or
how many, would only draw strength
^ from those already opposed to him?
t that his following is for the governor
against the field. And it seems pretty
well settled thai this following of the
governor is a good majority cf the
^ Democratic voters of the State, and
' his bitterest opponents are now conceding
his election.
Speaks at >VaIterboro Saturday.
The governor will go to Walterboro
on Saturday to make an address, and
i-. is expected that he will s,ay something
there of a political nature. If he
should discuss politics, his address
will really be the opening gun in the
campaign. The governor has as yet
."v ^ ren out nothing to the press, as to
-if vnat he will say a: WaUerboro.
L Congressional Campaign.
Assistant Attorney General Fred.
H. Dominick, of Newberry, was in
Anderson last week in the interest of
his candidacy for congress, and again
this week he is in the up-country, in
Oconee, Pickens and other coun;ies in
I 'he Third district. Mr. Dominick. who
, is a candidate for the seat now held
dv congressman aike^i, says tnai ne
- is confident of election.
Peeples For He-Election.
e
Attorney General Tlios. H. Peeples
Las announced that he will be a candidate
for re-election. Tcei'e bas been
no opposi:ion announced to the attorney
general, and he wifl probably
be re-elected without opposition.
The Governor's Kace.

^ There is a great deal of interest in
the race for governor. The number of
candidates is large, and most of them
are well known to the ve:ers of the
State.
County-to-County Campaign.
There fcas been considerable discussion
of abolishing the cDunty-:o-county
campaign this summer. This movement
will wear itself out, as did the
effort in the legislature to restrict the
primary. Governor Blease has come
ou: flat-footed in favor of the candidates
going before the people, and
has announced that If the State convention
does not provide for a county
ask of the people this summer,
to-county canvass that he will go to
each county seat, inviting the other
candidates for the senate to meet him.
~ If the governor's supporters turn out
to the club meetings cn the 25th of
this m'^nth they will control the State
convention.
i It is exr>eo-pd that tvpv -a-'ll attend
the meetings and >iontr:l the Sta:e
convention, biu, in any ev^r.t. the interview
of the governor hn~ practically
put a quie us upon the effort to abolish
the cou-ty-to-ccuntv campaign.

Newberry Lutheran conference me:
with St. Pauls the last of March. There
were 10 ministers present and a number
of lay delegates. The programme
was good and the sermons and addresses
above tbe average. We were
all delighted with conference and wish
ir could meet with us every time. The
Sunday work of conference this time
was most exceiiem. .just to give me
public a faint idea of good things we
mention what was done on Sunday of
cenferenee.
At 9:30 o'clock Prof. Derrick, of
Xewberrf college, made an address-on
"The Ideal Congrega;icn." It was;
plain, interesting, practical, to the
point. If you want a good speech get
Prof. Derrick to make it. At 11 o'clock

and Dr. R. 0. Holland, of Columbia.
occupied the pulpit, and one af:er the
other, spoke interestingly on missions.
Then came dinner?wha' a dinner and
what a hungry multitude! But there
was plenty for all.
In the afternoon, the Rev. E. \V. Les- J
lie, of Prosperity, preached a sermon
011 "Missions, the Work of the Churc;,.'
Lastly, the Rev. .1. A. Linn, of Berlilehem
charge, spoke 'cn "The Great
Lnthpran Church is Wakins: I'd to i
Great Things." Some said, and most
though:, that the last was the besr.
IT he last may have been the best, but
it was all very gocd?our apologies to
the organist and choir. The excellent,!
pretty, well measured and appropriate j
music of the -occasion was delightful.1
The young people's Lu;her league j
met at St. Pauls Sunday night last, at!
which time the regular programme for J
ADril was vew successfullv carried i
out. Mr. B. V. Chapman, of Xewberry,!
was present and made a most force- j
fill address. The young people felt it J
a ;reat to have Mr. Chapman with them !
and to hear such an able address.
Mr. W. U Bedenbaugh at.ended

with his son, Henry C. Richardson, of
the Bachman Chapel section, who had
the misfortune to get his leg broken,
caused by being thrown from a bicycle.

\vjo was so kind as to drag the bad
place in the road between his house
and Mr. Joe Kinard's that is usually
bad. A bad place in 'he ProsperitySt.
Paul and Pomaria road is often
found near Mr. Jake Bedenbaug&'s.
Tae water is banked in the road for
quite a dis.ance when it could be^
drained .;ff below. Immense and dense
tiees line the road on each side almost
mee i. g :ver the road. Practically no
sunshine ean hit rhe road. That road
reeds the supervisor's personal attention.
What is law anyway about water

where it would naturally run off if the

might be made around this place if
Mr. Gus Singley would give a new road
bed and tlius cut out a bad hill as well
as a bad place. Although the supervisor
and his road crew are doing so
much towards the advancement of
*
good roads in Newberry county that
we don't want to ask too much of him
for we believe that if the same prothat
i* row heine made on this <
important work is continued for a fewyears
Newberry will be' proud of her
public highways instead of ashamed
of it as hererofore they 1have been.

waterfront boys with reference to
Roman history. He touched upon the
doings of Xero, giving a vivid picture
of the cruelty 01 me emperor. it
seemed to the speaker that he had fixed
the idea of injustice- and wickedness
in the minds of his hearers. Then
he began to ask a few- questions.
"Boys, what do you think of Nero?"
Silence, broken only by an uneasy
shifting of tie lads in their seats.
"Well, Clancy," said the lecturer,
making an individual appeal, "what
do you think of Nero? Would you say
he was a good man? Would you like
to know him?"
Clancy hesitated. Finally, after
again being urged to reply, he did so
