The Herald and News has no j advice to offer the members except to j say that tne least they do or try to do at tnis session the better for their State. This is not a time when we need much law making. If it should not rain any more for I 1 a few days the dragging of the road j (from Newberry to Prosperity would j 5P\2t it in fine condition. It would take tmt little time. Will not our county supervisor give it an experiment with our old friend, Col. S. L. Drag? Gtive ?-> ??x- <~vr> ."hie iwa/?

The time for the payment of taxes without the penalty has been extended to the first of February. That will fcelp some of the big fellows but most o; us don't mind that one per cent. Whv nnt ovtAnrt it to first of Nfovem ? > ? ? ter with just enough of penalty to induce the man \vrJo has the money to -come over and pay and give the fellow who hasn't got it convenient a little time by paying for it. In other -wrvrHc him thp mrinpv at a reason able rate?that is a rate that he would consider reasonable in these times. We think it would be better to enforce the liquor laws that we have rather than to try to pass more laws. Suppose we try to enforce the profcalni-o in tlio nnnntipts where we Wi C1V/XA loino in v already nave prohibition rather than try to pass more prohibition. Then "we are entitled to one year of rest from political upheaval. The legisla-! ture is going to be asked to submit j the prohibition question to the people of the State in a special election next surfcpier. Xo douibt it will be done but we tl'aink it would be better tor the cause of temperance i:' the eaergy of the people should be de- j voted in having prohibition in tne counties that already have it by law. What do you think about it? x . i EXPLANATION. j Tiie last issue and several issues otf Tiie Herald and News have had some very bad errors, and sometimes mat ter is left out that should be m tne j paper, and sometimes when it has been ! k type, and then we have missed the attils. It is impossible always to do just as you would like to do. We have ?ade it a rule of our office never to prenmit any man who was perfect, to work in it if we knerw it, because we lave enough of good old Dutch blood kt our veins to be just a little super .elrtious. But in a newspa3>er there should be a$ least some approximation of aca cttrac> and some care exercised in the sake-up of the paper: The editor undertook only a couple of months ago j? aace again to look after the details of j tke office, after his son who hacT'beeu j fa charge went to Anderson. We hare Had to depend largely upon others, and tile mistakes that have been made we oiild not help. Several local items **ere left out of the last issue chat should have been in. These things cannot al-ways be heLped. Wie are not maki \r excuses or finding fault with a*y one except ourself, but simply feel tfaat some explanation is due our readers even if it does not explain. We ars going to try to do better in the future. We may fail. * TVnck rpvnortpr.

The errors : may V many. If you have any blame | i to attacn to any one give it to the editor. If you desire to praise any one praise De other fellow, we are trying j lo do our duty and the best we can so long as we are connected with the paper. The angels can do no more. So long as we \:ave the approval of our conscience for duty done tiie balance does not worry us much. GOOD ROADS, BETTER STREETS. If there is anything that would appeal to the people of this community and county at the present time, we should think that it would be a demand I'or good roads and for better streets. They are both in sucn a fearful condition as to make it almost impossible to travel. Not only are the streets in a bad condition, but in many places tihe side walks are in such a deplorable condition as to make it very unpleasant for people who have to use them. What shal1 be done to give us beti ter roads and streets? This should l be discused until something is done i in the way of permanent improvement. Other places have made improvements along this line that are a credit to them, and tfrere is no rea<inn u-hv thp same should not be done here. Of course it will take money, but it will be .money well spent.?Greenwood Journal. We have said so much about better roads and better streets for tne town of Newberry that we almost feel like apologizing for mentioning the subject, but it is sucn an uupw UXilc j subject and of so much importance that it could not well be mentioned too often if any good would come of mentioning it. And you can't get a subject taken up or anything done until you agitate and quicken the public conscience on it. Therefore, we make bold once more to say that there is no more important or vital j question before the public today than the improvement of the public roads anj the making of some permanent j streets in the town of Newberry. We heard a truthful doctor say tie other day that it took him one and acalf j rours to make a call in Helena, and he spent only ten minutes with the patient. The balance of the time was speLt in going from Xew'berry to Helena and return, a distance of two miles. Think of the time he lost and the other patients who were suffer ing for lack of his professional services during those two hours or more. And tlien it seem to us that we read somewhere that two pretty little school teachers got stuck in a muvl hole and lost their slippers. They should sue the county for damages. The farmers can't come to town or even go to church, and yet we are j living in a highly civilized and enlightened age. If tine money that is wasted in patching the streets and roadis was put in permanent work under intelligent supervisor and then some arrangement for maintenance made we could have had long ago some roads and some streets over which we could travel with some little modicum of comfort and pleasure and Che money spent would hare been no more. Will not some one in authority get busy and do something worth while. roflfis better streets." is a fine slogan. Take up the refrain.

I Ic Possible Throuah Home Grown Vegetables Atlanta, Ga.?(Special.)?The farmer who makes and keeps going this ! year a real home garden, will save | fully one-half the money he has t>een j in the habit of paying the supply mer- j chant for his food supplies. The man with a back yard city lot, turned into a earden. can save on his living ex I ? w ' , penses in the same proportion. The man in the city has been hit by the war juBt as hard as the man in the country, and here in Atlanta the Agricultural Committee of the Atlanta Chamber 0/ Commerce, of which H. G. j Hastings is chairman, is actively en-| couraging the back yard city garden j as one of the most effective steps ?in solving tbe problem of living. One At. lantan made $150 worth of vegetables j last year on less than one-sixteenth of ax> acre. Others have been eacourag ed to try it, and this spring mil see Atlanta full of home gardens. "The farmers of the South, in my opinion," Mr. Hastings said, "haya well learned the lesson of the cotton crisis, and I believe they are goiag keep it learned. They realize now as. never before that they mjist make cotton their servant instead of their, master, and making food'crops is the only way to do it. "The first big step toward the solution of this problem is the home garden?an all-the-year-round garden? one that is kept busy growing food for the table every month in the year. A! garden like this means a saving of half the living expense, of any family; | it is worth more as a money saver j than any five acres of cotton ever grown. "City families pay fancy prices for vegetables and other food products which the farmer can have on his table without the expenditure of a dollar and this would mean to the farmers of the South an aggregate saving of millions of dollars they are now paying out annually for food supplies, that might be turned into bank accounts." i I " - - m-?.t * r<_., 4 Tow*..

Hastings in South Carolina and Other States Atlanta, Ga.?(Special.)?Corn club prizes for Southern boys in South Carolina and nine other corn-growing j states of this section have been renewed for 1915 by H. G. Hastings, general chairman of the Georgia corn show committee and chairman of ttie agricultural committee of the Atlanta > chamber of commerce. The prizes amount in all to $1,200, in cash and scholarships, and will be J awarded ander the direction of the. government corn club agents in each i state. In South Carolina Mr. Hastings has offered $100 to be divided into tnree v ?I *rA ton on* ?9.n fir tn CdfiU pnzcb Ui ^uu, f ovt ieuju ymv) be awarded in scholarship form, according to the wishes of the South Carolina corn club authorities. ' In Florida, Alabama. Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas and North Carolina, Mr. Hastings offers $100 in eaeh state, either in ca3h er scholarships, according to local arrangement. In Georgia, his hoiuo bta.ce, he offers a *250 scholarship in the Slate College of Agriculture and two additional cash prizes cf $30 and $20, respectively. The great educational value and . ??frrroo nf thp corn alab! [ cuxiaii uv/cx w w .. contests, in addition to the marvels j they are accomplishing in increased, corn productions, are emphasized in an interview given out by Mr. Hastings in connection with his announcement of prizes. Mr. Hastings said: i "The interest now being taken iD corn production, by the federal government, by state officials, by leading organizations and individuals, is, in my opinion, the greatest constructive force now operative in agricultural affairs in America. For too long tne tendency of education in the rural school was to draw boys away from the farm, but the corn clubs are now j combining with true agricultural edu: cation to influence the boys to form i "* * - J9 { ' new id?as and new laeais 01 ia.rnj ! life.
