Manning u?,s ueeu eAtccuiusij kind to Newberry in the matter of appointments which he has handed to her. We are always pleased to see Newberry men get positions, and it!' as always been our policy to stand by our Newberry men. and we ha<ve done so when they were not of our way of thinking, and sometimes w^-en they were not friendly personally to us. We have been made to feel the bitter pangs of ingratitude, but that Has never swerved us from our course. We are g!ad they got the jobs, even tl,ougn some of them may dislike us person ally. We know that we have no malice in our fceart-, and there is nothing like having the approval of that still small voice.

Manning's immediiate predecessor, is reappointed as the State electrician; Mr. Geo. D. Brown gets ti e new job of supervisor of mill schools at $2,500 a year; :Mr. T. A.

TV CfrllClV^, OVU of Editor Wallace, of Newberry, has been put on the State board of charities. He is a former Newberry boy. Tfney are,all good men and will fill the places to which t':ey have been appointed with credit to themselves and to the appointing power. Wfe commend the governor for these selections. And tften Gov. Manning should be good to Newberry, because si:e gave j !him a good vote, even though grati- j tude is a rare trait in many politicians.! 4 ? Says the Spartanburg 'Herald: "It V good-bye to beer in South Car olina. If you must drink, drinl: whiskey hereafter.' Was that a consummation devoutly to be sought? Well, ?nardly. Better let tl':em have beer instead of whiskey, but as the Spartanburg Herald says, the new law says if you must drink, drink whiskey. Beer is good and wholesome and does not harm any one, but the law had just as well said you should order none as to allow only a gallon a month. TV:ie last legislature created more jods tiaan any legislature witmn our i l recollection, and many of them good jobs, and in practically every case the power of appointment is 'vested in the governor. Patronage has been the downfall of many good men. We hope Mr. Manning may avoid the pitfalls. Dr. Johnson m l-is talk to the teachers the other day said that he was in Newberry in 1888 to attend a meeting of the Y. M. C. A. We remember that Dr. Johnson was in 'Newberry on February 14, 1881. He came down with the editor of tT:ds paper from Abbeville to be with us on the occasion of the happiest event in our life. We were glad to have Dr. Johnson in Newberry again last Saturday. When Dr. Johnson was in Newberry in 1888 we came near raising the money for a Y. M. C. A. building. And now the town t as no Y. M. C. A., except the college one. IA>D IT IS A RATIONAL VIEW. A few days ago a young man employed to circulate one of the petitions for compulsory education in the more remote parts of the district asked an honest, hard working citizen to put his name on the paper. The man declined with t>-is explanation: "I haven't got time to be foolin' sign ing petitions. If t'nose fellows we sent down to Columbia didn't have sense enough to go on and do the right thing about this school business, they needn't be sending around for me to be ordering elections." And there you are. rrib-e legislators were elected to do this thing, and do it rigr.t; and had they gone ahead the people would have really thought more of them.?Spartanburg Herald. That is the sensible position to take. T.e legislature should have passed a compulsory education bill. This t' in^ of having an election in every district is all right for some things, but when it comes to compulsory education it is carrying local option a little too far. At least that is tile way it appears to us. I We have been for a good many years in favor of a State-wide compulsory school attendance law, ana introduced a bill at two sessions of the legislature when a member &* Oat body. At lone time tS-ie bill passed the senate land came within six votes of passing; the house. It is all right to have local j option in regard to some matters, but j we never did believe in local option j on a measure of this kind, and that! honest, hard working citizen t':at the { Herald quotes is right. T. e members ! we sent to Columbia should have fixed i this thing right while they were at it. There are nearly two thousand school ; districts In SrmtVi Pnrrvlino onr? if I would not only be a great annoyance to ! ave an election in each one, but it would be expensive as well. There are fifty-nine in Newberry county. Just think of fifty-nine elections in Newberry on this subject. 1" a ** ? ? -narun is iwo-imrus gone, we requested ti at all our subscribers whose time had expired pay at least fifty cents each on their subscriptions by the first of April. Up to this time just about one hundred have paid. There are still remaining about five (hundred I whose time is out, or will be by th^ first of April. It would keep us pretty busy writing receipts to serve all of them by ti at time, but we urge tha: ; they come forward, and we will make the effort to accommodate U:em. Just now, as we have stated, we are not going to enforce the cash in ad- j vance rule, but we are going to in- j dulge our subscribers, but fifty cents j j from each would be a very small matter, and yet to us five hundred halfdollar pieces would make a pretty good pile. In fact, according to our arithmetic it would be around two hundred and fifty dollars. Ti.at would help j very materially in paying expenses just now. Come right along now and leave at least fifty cents on your subcription by April 1. Of course we will not refuse it after that date. Senator Tillman writes an interesting story of the passage of the new ievjeiai uisinci oni. ne gives credit lor its passage to himself and to Mr. Byrnes. And to Mr. Mann, the Republican congressman, who seems to be fond of Mr. Joe Johnson. In fact, ti e whole motive backing the passage of the bill was not because b ere was real need for a new district court, j but to give to Greenwood, Aiken and ! Rock Hill new federal buildings and ! I to give Mr. Johnson a judgship, ami j \ sundry other citizens good federal po- ! sitions. As Mr. Tillman expressed it some years ago. while they r.re going i | into the pork barrel we hail just as i well get our share of the pork. If is well. One striking thmg about all, or nearj ly all, the cases in the sessions court tnis week is tnat they are nearly all j for larceny of some kind. It must be i the result of the hard times caused: by the war an- the defendants were I hungrv. ? TV.:e chain gang will be materially i increased as a result of the sessions court this \vt.;ek. We hope Supervisor j Sample may be able to organize an- j I # | j other force and put the Capital-to{ Piedmont highway in good condition, j jit would not take long and v.ould re-j | quire very tittle work, which if given j | at this time would last all through ttbe j summer. We are told that the farmers I i i on the road above Newberry and around Kinard have already done some excellent work on this road. It is necessary to use tie drag alter each ? I ram 10 Keep tne road in fine condition. The school page under the direction of Miss Goggans contains some vaiu-1 able information in regard to Field j day for the schools. Field day is the I I first of April. Send in your subscription to The ^ | Herald and News. We are trying to i prim a real newspaper. The many friends of County Treasj urer Kpps will be grieved to hear of ; his serious illness and hope for o.im i a speedy recovery. ? We republish the ordinance on liquor ! in this issue because of a slight typograp' ical error as printed on Tuesj day. It is said that money is easier in New York and the money centers than i: nas Deen in a long time. ine oanKs in Newberry, according to their public ed statements, are in as good condition as they usually are, and some of them better. The deposits may be a little off from t':e same time last year, but the amount of cash on hand is larger. And yet we hear some Oi the merchants complaining, or rather making the statement, ti at the banks i are not letting out any money for them to do business with. T e merchants and the banks and the farmer and the other people make lip one continuous chain and are ail dependent one upon the other and sLoulri hp mntuallv helnfnl to each other, vfhe merchant expects to get ft is money through the bank and *he farmer expects the merchant to help him in ti e making o:' his crop. The banker can go to the money centers p.nri spenrp thr monw with which to do t-e legitimate business of the country. It is not expected that the merchant should go to t! e money centers for his capital or the money he needs to carry on his business. If so there would be no need of the banks. The banks of Xewberry are in fine condition and now t/;at the time has come for the making of t< e new crop they should be willing to co-operate with the merchant and the merchant should be willing to help the farmer, w:o after all is tl e backbone of the whole business. All of us should be willing to help him and encourage him in the making of that from which all wealth is derived. We want to see every one work together for ti e good of t' e whole. Otherwise there can i be no lasting prosperity, or for that matter prosperity of any kind worth the name. The banks should now be willing to put out the money necessary to car-ri ry on the le<"*H'^ate business of the county, on a safe basis, of course, or i go out or Dusiness. GOOD WORK AGRICULTURAL, AGENT SOUTHERN RAILWAY j Washington, March 11.?Substantial results are shown by the annual report of the agricultural agent of the j Southern Railway company and associated companies for the year 1914. During the year the field agents of the companies gave detailed reports from 3,">12 farmers, covering 33,466 acres in cotton, 24,287 acres in corn I and 11,383 acrcs in miscellaneous I crops. ! II! e average vield of cotton per acre I on fields cultivated in accordance wit. their advice was 1,255 pounds of seed cotton, as compared witn the average | | of 513 pounds per acre in fields w/nere their advice was not followed. Ths average yield oi corn per acre in fields grown in accordance with their advice was 40 4-5 bushels, as compared with 18 2-5 bushels per acre in fields; wi ere biieir advice was not followed. j Equally good results were obtained with other crops. A striking feature of the report is the good showing made in boll weevil territory, where many farmers, not-1 witnstaiiuing me presence 01 uie weevil in their fields, averaged <? bale or more of cotton to the acrc. T! e agricultural development work of the companies is carried on in co-operation with t:ie United States government and the agricultural agents of the States and counties. The services of the agricultural agents of the compa nies are tree to ail rarmers aiong ineir lines wishing to avail themselves of t eir advice. T e work heretofore done by the companies for the development of live stock, dairying and poultry raising along their lines has been consolidated with the general agricultural j work under the direction of the indus| trial and agricultural commissioner of | the companies and plans have been I aHnnfprf w! ir-h it ic hfliAVpd will makp I all of the agricultural development ficient in the future than it has been in cient in the future than it has been in the past. i THE NEV/S OF PJi'JSPEMTY. i>r.

I just simply can not understand it." Well, it is all very plain to a newspaper man. This fellow's name, and the names of many others, are not mentioned because the people whose business it is to get up the news happen not to know what they are doing. It is wonderful that newspaper people find out so many t! ings. It is the rule of this officp to eet all the Dersonals possible, and no one is overlooked for any reason whatever save for the want of information. Of course, there are some people who do not care to see their names in public print, but tliere are others who feel differently about it.

'i .ere was general regret over the State when earlV in t.e new year tf-he .Newberry Herald and News suspended publication on account o. financial 1 troubles. Now there is widespread re- ' joicing because Mr. <Aull has been able to place the good old paper on a sound financial basis again. It has been a strong factor in Newberry for many years, and we trust that it will appear throughout the years without missing ! a single issue. We welcome The Herald and News to our desk again, and extend f cordial greetings and good wis'.es to Brother Aull. Darlington News and Press. The News and Press is glad to agai6 find on its exchange desk The Herald and News, of Newberry, after a suspension of several weeks. The last few months ':ave been "troublous ~ . i times" for tlie newspapers ot ue siate, i and The Herald and News was only one 01 the many w ich found it neces- , sary to suspend publication. We hope, unier the new corporation and the 4 efficient editorship of Elbert Auli Tib.-? m Heraid and News may enjoy a pros- I perous and influential future. Welcome A grain. I Keowee Courier. T e Courier is glad to again welcome I The Newberry Herald and News among its exchanges. This paper recently met with reverses of a financial na- Jfl tnr? thqt forced temporary suspension ^ of its publication. The Herald and h .sows was owned and edited by Elbert fl H.

While the creditors of The Herald ana News lost Ineavily in ti:<? winding up transactions, still ^ wp r-Hti but admire the manly way in ^ whi<-??
