A WORD PERSONAL.
I am glad The Herald and News
is to start again on its visits to the
homes of the people where it has been
a visitor for so many years. I am!
.. J
sorry that it had to suspend, i aid
everythig I could to keep it from sus'
pending. After it suspended I did
everything I knew how or could to
revive it without permitting the property
to be placed on the market. It,
wgs sold and bought in by the cred- j
itors for a total of $2,600. The prep- j
erty cost something over $13>000. i
There is no good now to discuss/that j
feature. 1 desire to say, howeve/, that j
, 1 did everything that I could to make j
the creditors see that it was to their
interest to co-operate with me and gh-e
me an opportunity to make an effort
to pay them dollar for dollar of the
claims. They saw it differently. They
are better business men than I am
and I am not complaining. TC.at rock
is now behind us and ft is our purpose
to look to the future.
A new company has been organized |
and the paper put on a better basis
than it has ever been. Good business
men and men of large affairs have
come to 'my aid and will help me in
the making of.' a newspaper that we
hope rwill be a credit to txie town and
the county. It will be the same old j
^ -Herald and News that >'.:as gone into?\
*
the homes of Newberry for more thau
a half century, and we hope to make
it even more acceptable to its patrons
and friends than it has ever been.
Under the* new management I am ret
lieved of the burden of looking after
the pay roll, something I have desired
for many years. It will be mine
ir\ moV? o nan-enanor anri rmf thp busi
IU iiiauc a 11V " MMVI ^
. ness on the books, and others will
look after the bookkeeping and the
collecting. We will take up the subscription
' list just as we left it and
send the paper to all who were on j
the list at the time. Those who were
paid in advance will get the paper for
the time they haive paid just a& if the
? J
.. paper ;liad not suspended. Those who
* are in arrears or whose subscription
is expiring will please renew, or if
they do not care to, have the paper
any longer will confer a favor by
notifying the office, otherwise the paper
will be continued. As soon as!
wo vet matters nronerlv adiusted we i
will resume the cash system, as I believe
it works better for subscriber
and publisher alike.
If my friends who have so generally
Expressed a desire to see The Herald
e nd News resume desire to give substantial
evidence of that desire, they
will now come forward and pay 6omet.
ing on their subscriptions. Several
hundred subscriptions have expired.
A payment from each of only fifty
to tViic timo wmilH he? a

help to the publishers, and would 'be
evidence of confidence which I would
appreciate just now more than the
i
money they would pay. There will
be no risk, because the new company
' as sufficient commercial capital to
y guarantee' tr.e continuance of the
l.aper.
The Herald and News will stand

betterment of the people of this community,
and / or the progress and development
of the community, as k
::as always stood, jrhere has been
no enterprise proposed for the good
of this community, as least durin-;
t <e last thirty years, that did not have
the hearty support and endorsement
of The Herald and News. The Herald
and News has no friends to reward
?id no enemies to punish, but is free
.u express the honest conivietions of
i:ie editor on all public questions. This
will be done as strongly and as frank-1
ly as we can command the English
language, and at all times courteously
and with due regard for the opinions
and views of t)'.:ose who do not
agree with us. Our first purpose "will
be to publish a newspaper with the
emphasis on the news. It shall be
my purpose to create and encourage
' sood fellowship among all our people
and to assist in so far as I. may be
able in moulding a sentiment of co-1
operation among cur 'people 1'or the i
good of the entire community. We j
bave a good town and a good county
and lots of good people. What: we
need is co-operation, and to realize
that no man can live to himself alone}
I
and tfcat when his neighbor prospers |
he has a better opportunity to prosper.
The constant knocker never
amounts to much in the building of
a good community and must lead a
miserable existence. One always ifeels j
better to sav kind things.
i
The many expressions of good will;
which have come to me from the people
of the town and county >ijave
touched me very muci\ and they have j
come from those with whom I have j
differed greatly on many questions in 1
days gone, as well as from those with j
whom The 'Herald and News^has been I
in accord. Of course tT ere have been j
a l ew, who ha>ve said unkind things.!
but for these T have no words of cen-1
sure, but rather a feeling of pity. I
am frank to admit that at one time I
felt blue, disheartened and discouraged
and very much like seeking other
fields, which I had opportunity to do,
but now I am glad I remained in i
Newberry, and hope to be able to carry
out my desire of long standing ti':at
my last work may ibe done on The ,
Herald and News and that my last
copy may be turned in for the old
paper with which I have been connected
for so many years, and among
the people with whom I have labored
all these years. To any brethren of
the press w/:.o have said- so many kind J
things, I desire to express my sincere!
onnrttPi'3t;nn Tt .'cjc snmpt "nit! V lllfp!
reading one's own obituary. There j
4 I
was a sweet sadness about.
Our face is now to the future. Our
efforts shall be directed to a better
and a greater Newberry. (We a?k the J
hearty, sincere and honest effort and
co-operaticn of all our people, town
and county. Remember, there is none
better or with greater opportunity in
the whole Southland. Everybody, all j
together. '"It m)ay rain tomorrow,
but, say, ain't it line today." That's
the spirit. That's the sentiment. Stop
whining. -Stop1 complaining. Th,e sun
is shining somewhere all the time.

H. Aull, of Xewberry, constitute th'i '
board of directors. Mr. Aull was elected
editor and manager of the paper.
Mr. Kohn, the president, is a native
o Xewberry and for many years was ^
in the mercantile business at Prosverity
and is widely known in the
county. He is at present secretary of
the Carolina Life insurance company,
<
of Columbia, one df the most success- .

access is due to the energy and the
good judgment of Mr. Kohn.
Mr. S. A. Press^y, another member
of the board, is a successful merchant
' /
at Due West, S. C., and comes of the
well known, and prominent Pressly
family of that community. He is also
treasurer o. Erskine College and a
sood safe business man.
Mr. John B. .Mayes, the vice president,
is in the book and stationery
business in Newberry and is well and
pleasantly known by every man, woman
and child in the county.
iMr. W. 1A. {MoSwain is recognized
as one of the best accountants in the

good many years, though a\native of
Laurens county. He is secretary and
treasurer of the Securitv 'Loan and
I
Investment Company, one of the mostJ
successful financial institutions of tiiris
county.
With this board of good sound busi
ness men backing us and co-operating
with, us, we ffeel that The Herald and
News is now on a better basis than it
-ever has been, and we are prepared
to serve the public of this community
better than we have ever been.
' "\Ve ask the co-operation of a'l our !
people, town and county, in bringing j
about a better feeling and in advocat- i
ing those things which will be or j
the commercial progress and devel- j
opraent of *hi!:<e who'e community an.1
for the uplift of the people. Here's
our hand. Let us join our hands and
pull together for this town and county
and our entire State.
We feel that no one will deny the
statement that Thhe Herald and News
f::as always been progressive and has
labored in season and out for the bet
terment of the town and county. We
take up the work again with reneweJ
energy and encouragement.
We are delighted to see so many j
.'riends now of our old familiar com- j
rade, the split log drag When we be - !
gan the agitation of the use of the j
split log we were just a little lonely, j
The old colonel ad very few friends ;
i
in those days, but now he is growing j
in popularity and the more he is used i
the better the- roads will be. It is
a simple device, but if properly handled
will greatly improve the roads.
A SCHOOL DEPARTMENT.
The IJerald and News has made arrangements,
with the co-operation of
Miss Sadie Goggans, the rural supervisor
ifor this county, to conduct a
school page twice each month. This
page will be devoted exclusively Ip
the news of the schools and to such
articles as will be for their benefit j
and betterment. )'\V'e ask the co-oper-1
ation of teachers and trustees, and we |
I
believe that with their co-operation
\w can make this page a great benefit
in the development o. better schools j
and better teaching and better pupils. I
All suggestions and communications!
I
for this page will be handled by Miss j
G-oggans.
WILL WAKE ALL SUBSCRIPTIONS!
GOOD.
IAj good man$ of our friends seem
to be in doubt as to whether the subscribers
who have paid in advance
will get the paper '.or the time tfrey
have paid. We desire to make it, plain
that the subscription list will be taken
up just as it was when the paper sus-j
pended and will be sent for the time !
the subscriber had paid. A credit of!
i
one month will be made on all sub- i
scriptions to cover the time the paper j
?A vi'in rint sron I
was not piiuccu. in c ??*** ? x.w ?^ j
those who are in arrears, at least for
the present. Wie would appreciate even
I
a small payment .from t)':ese. Thero j
are several hundred whose time is out. j
If these would now come forwarrd and i
pay even fifty cents it wodld be a great
help at this time. In fact, we would
appreciate the confidence which such
payment would indicate more than the
money. Several have already made |
payment. We hope many more will j
Jo so at once.
A GOOD TOWN.
'Newberry is a good town and has
a number of live and progressive
merchants. It is backed by a good
'arming section and there is no reason
why it should not be one of the best
business centers in the State. There
\
3?^ somethings that we need in New"
? *? /-in f?
berry and tney win come m me uCai j
future. Wie have good schools and a j
good college, nice churches and able
ministers and a pleasant rest room for
the ladies of the twon and country, a
valuable acquisition which many town?
have not.
The great need of this community
at present is i.'or our business men and
others to stop whining and complain
i? ?
ing and to go to work as one man iui |
i
the upbuilding of the community. |v\!e
need co-operation, we need to stop
saying unkind things about enterprises
that may be suggested for t1':e community
and to rid ourselves of that
feeling which possibly some have that
they would like to see everybody else
in their line out of business except
their noble selves.
"We need to cultivate that spirit
which will rejoice at the snccess of
our neighbor. In other words, we need
to cultivate a spirit of optimism.
"GALLON-A-MONTH."
The "gallon a month"' liquor law
will go into effect on fc'ne 12th of this
month. The act is published in another
column of this paper. It makes
it. rnla^'ful for any person to order
more than a gallon a. month. That
is all right for liquor, but how about
the ellows that wan.s a little beer?
The effect of it is to cut out beer altogether
and to force t e use of liquor.
It would have been better for .ne cause
of temperance to iiave permitted the
use of beer and prohibited the shipping
of liquor altogether.
By ery unprejudiced man will admit
that the Germans are the greatest raco '
of people on the earth today, and they I
can stand as much hardship as any
other, and they are the greatest beer
drinkers. Good beer is not iharmful. !
So far as we are concerned, we j
would rather see an ironclad prohibi- ,
ticn law. If we are to have prohibition !
let us have it pure and unadulterated. |
j
As we see it, there are ma^ny things |
worse than the use of a little beer.
|
0? course the abuse of intoxicants is j
a great evil, but we have our doubts J
i
that a prohibition iaw will lessen those |
"
evils. I we thought it would wo j
would heartily favor prohibition.

GOOD AITOIV HIE NTS.
Tie Herald and News takes pleas- I
i
tire in commending most heartily at I
least three of the recent appointments
cf Governor Manning. We do not
know the other gentleman appointed
on the tax commission and, therefore,
cannot speak as to his fitness for the
position. The appointment o-: Comptroller
General A. W. Jones as chairman
of the commission is entirely
proper, and recognition of faith ul
service to the State and ability to discharge
ir.e duties of the office to which
he is appointed. Mr. Jones has fo*
many years been connected with the '
tax department of the State, first, as ;
i
auditor of Abbeville" county, then as> j
chief c.'erk in the office o comptroller I
general and for the past ten years as j
comptroller general. There is no I
more efficient, painstaking and hard-j
working official in South Carolin than j
Dolph Jones. We ;'.:ave known him j
personally for many years and have j
been associated with him in a good !
many matters pertaining to the fiscal j
affairs of the State, and we know that
he is competent, honest and faith.'ui
and the appointment of him as chairman
of the commission will meet the !
approval of all tre peop'e of South i
j
Carolina.
Mr. J. P. Derham, one of the mem- j
bars of the commission, has also had j
much experience in connection with |
tlie tax department, for some time as |
chief clerk in the office o comptroller ;
general and later as comptroller gen- j
eral He is entirely competent and i
will be a valuable member of the com- J
missio'n.
As to Mr. Query, we cannot speak, j
because we know nothing of his ability i
or experience in matters with whicii i
* ?-11 ^ t/v rtool
tii0 commission wni ncivc *-v/ u^ui.
The appointment of iMr. C. W. Sawyer
as comptroller general is a fitting
recognition of ability and experience
and competency to discharge
.faithfully and honestly the duties of,
tais important office. Mr. Sawyer is !
a young man of excellent character,
of pleasing address and popular with
all with whom he comes in contact,
and will make an excellent State fficial.
We are pleased, as we ftave !

Miss JfcClintoek's Resignation.
The State.
The resignation of Miss Euphemia!
t
McLlintock Urom the presidency of the ;
College for Women will deprive Columbia
of an educator whose good influence
and power can not in any way
and from any source be easily replaced.
Her departure from the institution
over wlidch she has preside-! j
for twelve years is not short of a com-.
munity misfortune. She has accom- j
plished the marvel of conducting a j
woman's college on a plane as high as i
.1
that of the 'best in the South witnout
the help of an endowment ard with
the (hindrance of a heavy debt. Were
Columbia undertaking to establish a
non-sectarian woman's college and had
the choice of the present Blanding
street plant without the personality
of the president or its- president without
the plant, we should adivse, unhesitatingly,
t'nat Columbia prefer the
president and take the chances of getting
a college plant.
That the Presbyterians of South
Carolina is certain and that removal I
of Chicory college to Columbia, and |
*1 * - A - - of Q ( I
its domiciliation on mc Diauuiug o?&vi,
premises would immensely facilitate
their/ plans is, equally certain. Chicora
college would be of great cultural
and moral, as well as commer
