Jfyt ||eralis anil jcm Entered at the Postoffice at Newberry, S. C., as 2nd class matter, E. K. AULL, EDITOR. Tuesday, March 23, 1915. What a glorious time this is to use the split log drag on the roads. The rain on Saturday would make the work fine the first of this week. But some one is ready to say that i':c- is too busy just now to do anything on the road. Let us whisker to you 'gently \ that it will save you time all the year -* ? ?^ ^ x ~ c -O go-oui nuw anu pul a Jt? uuun v.ork on your reads. It will save you in the time you will sav^m two or t":ree trips over the road. It will save you in t':.e amount more that you can pull with yb^r team. It will save in the wear and tear on your stock and your vehicle. It will save you the weari JICS5 Ui I lie X1CS11 II will nuitu t*uu ?1U be relieved. No better investment can be made thai^ a few hours properly spent in dragging the roads. Especially does the road from Newberry'to \ Prosperity need tr.e application of the di"ag. How about fine automobile own ers of Newberry raising a small sum right now and paying some one to drag this road and fill in the holes. It will cost vers- little from each one and will repay you if you only take one trip over the road. Suppose we try it. The Sumter Herald and the Batesburg Herald are unduly alarmed, li The Herald and News ever had anyfactional animosities or any bitterness of a political character tie slate oas been wiped off clean. This does not mean,khowever, that we give up ou: right to criticize men and measures, and to express our opinion ifreely ; about public matters, but we are going to do it courteously and in parliamentaiv language. As for the present administration we .ire going to hold . . j J up its hands in everything that we If think is tor t?e constructive bettermem! of tite. State. The editor of this paper .Gite-i sties no bitterness or anix. mosity agsfnst any one. We say what * *e: thiak and we try always to thinK honestly and conscientiously and do ^ r.ot harbor resentment against tnose wiho do not think as we do. tSome*> times it would be good if some of our public men could be delivered from :5L . . ** , ^ tneir friend? ' ? il v ttEAX-ri" DAT. . I? We have received ti e toiiowing iec ter from Dr. James !A. Hayne, secretary of the State board of health. We have taken our typewriter in hand but we will just let him say to you what he has written to us. Here is the letter in full: * "Please take your typewriter in hand and soak fcer for a few editorial'lines, in a praiseworthy endeavor to get your community's mind off the war ana nara times, Dy joimng in a, Jively celebration of Clean-up day, which .has been designated for celebration April 10, throughout the State. "Every city, town, hamlet and school in t>'-e State is invited to join in the /big warfare that day against dirt and debris and the nests and breeding places- of germs, flies and mosquitoes. '"The State board of health is inithe pplphration ?t thp instance of the Federation of Women's clubs. 'The women should get together at once and appoint ward or district committees to put the job tcrough. Call on your local board of health and city authorities to help. "The State board of health has thousands of fo.'uers outlining in detail the scheme and ti e benefits to be derived. A postal to the State board of health. Columbia, S. C., will bring one bv return mail to anyone desiring mrther information. "In a few days the State board of health will have a supply of these folders sent to ve mayor of your town." April 10 is the day he sets apart as clean-up day. The only criticism we would make is to say that one day is not sufficient, but it is better to have one day than none at all. We should ha^e a clean-up day every week. In fact it should not be necessary for the State board of health or any oti':er board to suggest to the people the ner*Pe?it.Y nf flpaninc nn Wo cnrmM dn that without having it suggested by any one. 6 &ut as this day is set apart, we recommend that every one adopt Mie suggestion contained in the letter of I)r.

The State of Texas j has about 100 of fc'nem, and so has the f i Stat'"1 of Washington. Alabama ha^ I taken to the idea with enthusiasm. I i T ere are six of these homes for teach- ! ers in one county, and in one town ! there is a cottage built by public sub I scnpuon, wnn six acres 01 iaiu i . I i around it. In some of tr.e cottages \ j severa] teachers live together on a ec- | j operative basis. It's a vast improve- I | ment ever the old "boarding round" j plaik?-Augusta Chronicle. The county of Richland has had several of these cottages or romes for j j teachers for several years. We advo- j 1 cated them for Newberry some several, ! . years ago. Tcey are coming. A sys-1 tern of this kind is the solution of tne j rural school system. Our country i schools must so unite and consoli- j f V? n* ill Vv^ r> f r\ r? tft'A i j uaivr tuai mci c ?*n * w * %. .. v, , | or more teachers in eao'j school and J then the district should own some j twenty acres of land and let the teacher live there the year out and become a permanent citizen of the community and a leader in all things that are for the betterment and uplift of t?-e com munity. We can never make a great deal of progress in rural education so long as the teachers are only itinerants, so to speak, and remain in the community only during the short school terms. The teacher in this way scarcely forms the acquaintance of the ctilQren and never Knows mucn aDout u:>e me 01 the\ parents, and, therefore, is not fullyequipped properly to teach the children. Ti:en the .borne, and the farm i connected with it and the school, could contribute to the support of the teacher and also be used as a demonstration farm for the purposes of teaching ag- | riculture and housekeeping and gardening and everything that goes to make the ideal country home. Tie tendency is in that direction, and the time is coming when such a ! plan will be adopted in a great many, if not all, our rural Schools. We visited one of these schools in Richlaqrl some years ago, thougu it was located in a small town and had no farm, but ther? was the tiouse for the teachers i ani'? fhpv livpri in it foepthpr a.nr) kpnt house, and we were told that their living expenses under fois plan amounted only to about six dollars the month, and the teachers iiked fcbe plan better than "boarding around/' , The Columbia correspondent of the News and Courier is responsible for the statement that all of the social clubs have gone "dry" and are now ooeying me law. une or tne reasons assigned by the correspondent is that "it is wortr.y of note that probably the overwhelming majority of the members of these clubs voted for Gov. Manning, and they are goin^ to back up every step he takes :'or law enforcement."' Well, that is nor exactly j I * ? j the spirit to commend, because if they | are good citizens, and we believe they | are, and in favor of law enforcement, : trey should be so whether they voted tor Gov. Manning or not. But it is better thus than to go on violating the law. Wo hope the correspondent knows what he is talking about and that the law against liquor selling is being enforced, and tljat all ot^er laws will likewise 'have proper respect. % Gov. Manning will be commended | for his promptness in calling a special | session or court for Abbeville county I to try the slayers of the aged Lownesville woman.?Greenwood Journal. We do not copy this to criticize Gov. Manning, because we suppose he ordered the special court at the request of the solicitor. Neither is it our purpose to criticize f e solicitor, but simply to say that we do not believe in ; t::ese special courts. We do not believe that they do any good in the suppression of crime. They are generally called with the view of having the accused convicted and executed, rather t" an have the mob do it, and as a rule the public mind is in no condition to give the accused a fair and impartial trio 1 A n n n 4 a nr\n f orn ! j nia i. ns ii ^411 cji i a."5 111 r luuuo aic | held in this Stato justice would be adj ministered speedily by waiting for the regular court. That is the way we see it. We nctice that (lov. Manning gives notice that those w; o desire office within his gift will lessen their chances by making application tor the place. r Iv n * m /\ 4.-* 4 ^ ,1 ???v\ t * if i U ^ An i l.aw iic is ill & +in iJfJLinj ni iu tut* iiica t'rat the office should seek the man and not the man the office. . That is hig:: ground, but we thought the constitution guaranteed to every one t'":e right to petition, which, in ouer words, is the right to ask for. Certainly the fact that a man asks for a position should not be prejudicial to his case. i I'nd besides, we were just wondering j if Go.. -..'aiming did not himself seek ! i the position v.i. ie'i he now holds. Our lecollection is that he and a number of ether honorable and competent gentlemen, in a certain campaign about >. year ago, went out over this State and asked the people for the office of governor. Then why si.ould some little fellow w,_o happens to feel that hf j could fill a certain position have his j case prejudiced if he made known his j desire by asking for the job? We are very fond of our you friend Kuueage :victr.:ee, 01 l e Katesourg | Herald. He is a bright lad and a good newspaper boy. W% are surprised however, that he should be ignorant of the meaning of so simple a word as "balderdash," and if he will consult his Webster's he will find out what it means. ! "It is a long ways through the Dar- I danelles," says the Augusta Chronicle. | And it will be a long ways further be-1 fore those "Invincibles" and "Irrisisti- i bles" and "Immovables'' and "Oceans" ; \ and all the ot er terrible names get tJ'.i rough. > I The great council o.f Red '.Vlen of South Carolina will hold its annual. | convention in Newberry about the mid- j die of April. A fine program is being arranged for the entertainment of the members and it is expected to make this one of the most notable of the t annual conventions of t':is great order. ! Mr. utto Kiettner is in charge of the-i local arrangements and t':at means ; that everything will be well done. The Herald and News is glad that this, great order is to hold its annual con-! vention in Newberry. (The local tribe ' has several officers of the great coun- j cil among its members. In t':e next i issue of The Herald and News we hone to give tie program for the con veil- j tion. . The newspaper profession drew one : colonel out of the bunch Gov.
