Jilt fftram and Jem ' Entered at the Posioffice at New- i fe?ry, S. C., as 2nd class matter, | E. H. AULL, EDITOR. FRIDAY, APRIL 9, 1915. . Tthe State board of education at its meeting in Columbia on Tuesday elected Prof. S. J. Derrick, of Newberry college, county superintendent of education to succeed Mr. G. D. Brown, aad at tibe same meeting elected him a member of the county board of education for Newberry county. He is eminently qualified to fill both positions with, credit to himself and the county of Newberry. It is stated that the State board o? education had a itepeless deadlock on the Newberry county superintendent: of education, and wihen it was impos- 1 sible to decide they unanimously elect- J Prof T>prrirV T?T-v nnt submit the- 1 matter to the people of Newberry county and let the people decide. Sometimes we have thought that the people exercised very bad judgment, but we have always bowed gracefully to their will, and under our form of government tfre people have a right to say wf:o they want to fill the varioas positions. But some one will say that would put the office in politics. Well, under the laws the people will have a right to decide who they want two years from now, and why not let tfrem hane a chance now. Of course, tiaere was no politics in the State board having a deadlock. Gov. Manning has appointed a sa* perintendent of the State Hospital for the Insane from Maryland. He is to ; take charge on the 10th of May. In order to receive a commission from t&e governor for any position some one has raised tfce question that the person must be a citizen of the State and a qualified elector. The appointee cf Gov. Manning is a citizen of another State. It seems to us that we have some sort of faint recollection of a considerable noise being made about a speech made by a governor of South Carolina at a certain Richmond meeting about the constitution and wi:.at to do with it when it stood in tae i way of what he wanted to do. Of course, things have changed now and ( it will be entirely all right to pay no;, I 1 attention to tee constitution when it stands in the way of what is desired to be done. This question of being an elector in order to receive a commission from the governor for a position came up some years ago on the apointment of a stenographer of oI\. of the circuits of this State. The judge, Vho desired to make tibe appointment, and tihe t).:en Gov. Hey ward, took the position that the apointmeht could not be made bocause the party was not an elector, being under twenty years of age, j . though entirely competent otherwise ^ to fill the position. It does seem to us that there mig^t! be found in South Carolina some physician who is competent to fill this position and who uias the patriotism to take it. Of course, it should he removed from politics and we suppose it N' will now be removed. In the interest of the taxpayers of < (tie State, we hope something will in- , terrene to prevent tfte expenditure of a half million dollars on the present buildings in Columbia, as recommended by Dr. Herring, Gov.# Manning's expert. The State has already spent a quarter million at State Park, and ii any money is to be spent it should be j on that development, so that the in-1 i stitution might be speedily removed j to the country. I We notice that tt'.:e State Press association 'has decided to invite Gov. Manning to make an address at the annual meeting at Chick Springs. The committee should not overlook an invitation to the lieutenant governor, iMr. Andrew Jackson Bethea. He is in tae speaking game now also. He and tue governor are botli on the program fcr tfce Sunday school convention to be fceld in Newberry the latter part of this month. And they should both be on the program for the Press association. We do not believe Governor Manning minds the poking of The Herald and News, of Newberry, and the Yorkville i Enquirer are constantly giving him. II . he did not have some newspaper bark- : ing at him life would be entirely too ! sweet and comfortable.?Sumter Herald. i IV.e foregoing is clipped from the 1 Pee Dee Advocate, under ti.e heading i "Blease Papers Are After Him." We j had failed to notice it in the Sumter! Herald, and we were just a little sur- ] prised that the Pee Dee Advocate, fur i which we had some little respect, should print such a tilling, without ] pointing out its absurdity, instead of j putting itself on a level with the Sum- ; ter Herald. If any of the readers of j \ the Enquirer ha\e detected any effort I j to "poke"' Governor Manning, it would I ] be interesting to have them at least j point out the dates of toe issue of the j paper in which the "pokings" appeared. < However, about the best and surest i; way we can think of by whidi these ] contemporaries fan relieve themselves < of grave suspicion of uncalled for men- < dacity, is to get Governor Manning i \ himself to put ti:e stamp of approval | ] on the Herald's paragraph, and a com -! ; prehensive reason therefor.?York\ille Enquirer. t Th$ Herald and News agrees entire- j ly witij the Enquirer. We have had no '< I "pokes" at Gov. Manning. To be sure, .J as we have before remarked, we l-ave c not agreed with Gov. Manning in all c * that he has done, and we have not refrninP/1 frnm s/iviiiir cn 'hut tva always done it in a dignified and re- j spectful manner. As we said once ?2- : fore, it would be well sometimes to < have a man delivered from his friends. * i We would like to see a comprehensive , reason for some of tfa.e tilings said by i the Sumter Herald, but that would be < impossible. ( 1 ? h Mr. R. S. Gallov/ay, in his observa-1 tions on his visit to Xewberrv recentlv. I V ? / I observes that Due West colleges have ^ some fifteen teachers in the schools < of Newberry, and also tl:e county su- 1 perintendcnt of education. And New- '< berry college rigtit here in our midst i ! with not near that many. Well, these J young ladies from Due West are good ^ teachers and possibly also it is the il- ? lustration of the truth of the old say- < ing that a propliet is not without (honor 2 \ save in-his own country. c We notice,that one of the papers j states that ;Prof. Derrick was elecccd I superintendent of education of New * berry county to succeed "G. D. Brown, ^ $ deceased." Now that is- too bad and ! a that news gatherer should be ashamed ! j of himself. /Air. Brown is not deceased, t but is promoted to a much better job. t 1 CLEAN-I P WEK. c The citv ronnnil and t'ho r"ivir? a<ssr? ciation Lave designated next week as clean-up week for the city, &nd the council has stated on what days the cart would call in the 'various wards. This is a very important matter and should not be necessary for the council or any one else to call attention to it. There should be enough civic pride in every citizen to cause birn to keep &is premises clean, and if there is not a purely selfish spirit should :>ause each individual to keep his prem- j ises clean on account of the value of ? such action as a health preserver. Wt * could have a clean city by a little co- i operation on the part of all tie citi- ? zens of the community. t <$> f S> THE 1DLEK. <3> ? $> I? 1 No doubt every one has seen that t doggerel that was going the sounds of 2 tee press some time ago about toe man 11 who had a few nails and an old tin j t ~ T x 11 A. % ' tau itiiu nt; put iiicm cogemer ana , called it a Ford, and the thing j ran, or words to that effect. I neuer could quote poetry or anything else. 1 But it ran something like that. Weil "Talking It Over," in tl.e 'Augusta 1 iCUronicle had a pretty good thing on i the Ford, which I feel sure will be ! 1 appreciated by at least some of our j people, and I tr.ink it is pretty clever ' and I am going to quote it for their benfit: 'The meanest jab at Ford automo- 1 biles, discarded 'for months, is on dit again?for they won't quit jibing at ! the Ford cars. A party of negroes were "scooting I craps." One of the gang, who "hau "set"' the player handling the dice, ordered: "Nigger, Ford dem dice!'' "What you mean, man, by 'Ford' dem dice?" "Ford 'em! Ford 'em, I say!" "What's dr.t, Ford 'em?'' "Shake, rattle and roll!'' Somehow, it does not seem to me . that this is sucfa a terrible jab. There is one thing they tell me about these Fords, and that is ycu can generally! ?,o where you start and you can com*"1 1 back. That is the main purpose 1 j would have a car for it' 1 had one, to : ! go and come, and after all t' .at is ' i better t; an so much weight and j many fanc-v things on the side. ?o? ! t That reminds me of something 1 have been wanting to say for a long J Lime, but somehow I just could not) work it in to suit me. It is this: 1 ! i notice at several of the street cross- j ings a sign whicti reads something i like this: "Speed limit 'four mile.5 j 3 e hour." Now, I was just wondering if that was a joke, or if council reaPy neant what it said when the sign was promulgated, mere is noi one car iu forty tirat pays any attention worth 3peaking about to the sign. It may :ave been put up as a street ornament ike some of these old-fashion country style signs of the merchants which stretch their arms?or their beauty? ;o the breeze across the streets. No iiodern or live and progressive and ip-to-date city has any sucfa signs j inmc.c tlio Rut tn Vita hark ! :o the subject, provided I had one, and ;t is ti. is: If the city is going to have i rule to slow down at crossings ic should be enforced or the signs should 3e taken down as cumbering the a;r, ind certainly foey are not beauty spots. The city has been moderately free :rom automobile accidents and that may lull us into an innocuous deussue^ude, or something like that, whatever it is. But some of these days wcire going to !_ave a terrible accident md then the public conscience will be aroused, and let m? tell you, it wou;d be a little better to take a small dose 3f prevention than a whole barrel of :ure. I am not knocking or kicking Jut just stating a plain and unvarnished truth. ?o? And this reminds me that I happened :o see an almost near collision on one 3f these narrow streets some time ago between a wagon and an automobile? i real automobile as they say?but ii so happened tLat both were going *ather slow and the tongue of the wag)n just missed by a few inches going through the bowels of the youthful luto chauefler. Well, that reminds me >f another thing I heard seme time i2Yv nnH thnt is that t.hp cit.v rnimril ( vas thinking about passing some sort )f vehicle ordinance which would reluire all vehicles to keep to the ri^ht. f in this particular case that rule ad been adhered to there would nor lave been any danger. But one of tne ehicles was on the right side of the :treet and the ot!.:er was on the leit, md going in opposite directions. What s needed is a regulation in this ciry hat will require all vehicles to keep o the right and not to stop their veticles except when on the right side if tt'.:e street in the direction they are leaded. Yes, I know some one will be eady to say ti at our streets are too larrow for any such regulation, but o my mind?that is, taking it for granted that I have any mind, which nay be a rank presumption?but any vay, it seems to me there is notniug n such objection, but that fact onl; nakes it tie more imperative for some iuch regulation. 'And tl:en the ordinance which forbids the parking or he standing of vehicles and automo)i!es on certain streets and squares should be more rigidly enforced. Any >ne who has observed at all will know hat many times on crowded Saturlays particularly, wtten our friends rem the country are I:ere, the auto Measure drivers take great pleasure n driving around through the narrow >teets and stopping their cars in hem. Well, I reckon it is none ot ny business, and what I nave here vritten is simply for the general welare and of no sort of personal inter * ?st to me. And to sibow you that 1 :ave tried to be careful of what I say I have just been reading a beauiful little sentiment on that subject, md for the benefit of us all I am going a ? n /n ^ ?
