f ite %eraiD anil Hems. IK*! 5$V? Entered at tin- Po^toffice at Xewkcrry, S. C. as 2nd cla-s matter. E. H. AULL, EDITOR. _ ! Tuesday, July 21, 1914. I ? 7-= ? i We publish a card today from j Sheriff Rector, oi Greenville, but tht article to which ho refers was not "written for The Herald and News but was copied from the daily papers and purported to be a news story from Greenville. Mr. Xorw od is reported to have j - - * 1 An I said in ms spccuu at wcchmuc vn Saturday that any "educated" man that would vote for Cole. Blease is a "skunk."' That is rather an ugly word for a refined and educated gentle- j man to use. The one consolation in it i v is that his saying so does u1 t make it true. Newberry'can boast of ..a.ing the best mill villages in the State, li is admitted that they are populated by the best class of mill people. A Mr. Norwood, of Greenville, calls this class of citizens "skunks" and a "scurvy lot." "They will resent it to a man ail over the State, and it will make other votes for Blease. The opposition is getting desperate. The "South Carolina Dollar" means South Carolina dollars at the 'Frisco show.?Charleston Post. 'South Carolina certainly should be j rvf tn?p AVnAOitiAn on/^ ic Jl tjpi eSCULCU ai I'Jio caj(uoiuvu r.uu s going to be. The business men of the State are in behind the effort and it is 'bound to succeed. It should have the hearty endorsement and encour\agement of the press of the State. Less politics and more constructive business methods is the proper slogan. Editor AuU doesn't like the looks of Mayor Jennings, forgetting that tnis senatorial campaign is noi a race j ior beauty.?Greeuwood Journal. No, to be perfectly irank with you, | we do not. Some other paragrapaers took up th.e same point and intimated that "Lang" was too formidable for us. iThat is the very point. He is not as "formidable" as he had been paint- j ed- Oh, well, that is simply our, opinion. Maybe "Lang" will proceed to hurl ugly epithets al us for having ! an opinion. So long as lie calls us | what we know we are not we are go ing to say nothing. Trie people have : our permission to elect whomsoever j they please. The Columbia Record is surely hard up. It sends some one to tine files of The Herald and Xews and copies en editorial from it about the details of the one mill tax in which The-1 Herald and News did not agree with ' the governor as to the details of the appropriation. That was in 1913 and not 1914 as accredited. 'We still tl~;nk 1 that it is a good idea to let part of this one mill tax be at the disposal of the . county board of education instead of all of it in the honds of the State ; board. Unless you make the State the unit for the exuenditure oall the i school fund and in this way give to j each child the same amount of money : 1 and t..e same length or' school term,! I and when you do this you do away with incentive for individual effort. , State Superintendent Swearingen agreed with G v. Blease in toe view ! that the one mill tax should be a . State board fund. At the 1914 ses-j sion t'.ie one mill levy was made as ni ,1 ? .1 ] AT.. jrOV. mease Irtununeuufu aim .*11. Swearingen desired. The Record is certainly hard up for something. It must be realizing that Gov. Blease \ sure enough has the senatorial toga and is gone v;ith it. i ? How are we going to get the truth about these campaign meetings. For instance on their own account some oi' the correspondents say that the Anderson meeting was cuit4-Blease and i;ro Smith, with Pollock a'favorite, and describe the anti-Blease procession as i tremendous affair. Then they quote Governor Blease ;is saying from riie :tar. ! that tn? profession included -Si) nen and 2Z women, w iie the governor's Vriends had gievn out *; hi B eas-badges and were unable to supply the-, ."emand. it is indeed difficult to tell what :o be'ieve and what not to ueI lieve.? Yorkville Knq <lr<- r. Th* n' were s*'V<ral hundred wearing !:]?-.u- h;j(ig?'s and there you could sec a cotton bloom as a button hole bouquet. Some y i:ng ladies bore a c uple Smit.i banners. Bui there are a lot o: people wuo object to wearing the badge of any man. And badges and cotton blooms do n t always indicate votes. The sentiment oi the Anderson crowd, we should say, was about equally divided between Blease and Smith with possibly a predominance of Blease supporters. But you should remember that all the cotton mill operatives were at work and so were many farmers. Postmaster General "Burleson recI ommends that automobiles be used in 1 - - - ? u - ? ~ /?

The recommendation is a ?ood one but something will h. e to be done to improve tue L-onditioii of the roads before the plan can be successfully carried out. The two most important questions before the people today are the improvement or' our rural schools and t>.e building I* better roads. You may talk about the improvement of the State and law and o'der and almost everything else as much as you please but until something is done to improve the rural schoois and thp miblio roads in the country there "is not going to be much change 1' r the hotter. In this section of the country the cities and towns have grown to the disadvantage or rather at tue expen e of the rural districts: There is need for improvement of rural life condiJ r* errs oil tV? O liUUS <1UU U mis flftt " Iiii au iuv modern conveniences rural life can be made more desirable than city life, but in order that this section may c-me into its own these conditions must be improved and the first thing is to get better schools and better roads. In -forder to improve these condition? the more fortunate must help t ose less '.ortunate and the only way to equalize the burden is for state and national aid U be given. TKE NEWS OF PROSPERITY .
