The Newberry Herald and News and ' The Winnisboro New? and Herald, nei-; ther of which, if we remember cor-1 rectly, supported R. I. Manning for: governor, both in effect, accuse the governor of playing politics in cleaning out Charleston. !, If the editor of Tl'.e Newberry Her-' aid and News were governor of South o Vi d mate oriv pffnrt vai viiua " vuiu uv ?^ to run the blind tigers out of Charles,ton or would he allow ti'nern to con- j tintje to ply their trade openly as in j the past? In assuming the office of ! governor he would take an oath to j enforce the laws of the State. Gov. Manning promised the people;. of South Carolina in tis campaign that; he would enforce the laws if fee was elected governor of Soutih Carolina. It!' is up to him to make his word good or !* to exhaust the resources of the State in trying. If he permitted the blind I tigers of Charleston to continue to op-! erate in defiance of the law he would j not be living up to 'r is word. It may De tnat xne iNewuerry ner-j aid and News and The Winnsboro News and Herald think that when- v % ever a governor attempts to enforce the laws in Charleston he is merely playing politics, but w4 believe the great majority of the people of South Carolina take a different view of it. Their view is t':at he is merely doing . his duty.?Spartanburg Journal. It is all right for Gov. Manning to! enforce toe law in Charleston, but we; did not understand that to run the: blind tigers out of Charleston em-1 braced all that was in the oath of! office to uphold the law. We do not believe that Gov. Maiming, or any ; - other governor, is going to stop the sale of liquors in Charleston, and yet we are sure that the sentiment is growing in Charleston, as everywhere I else, toward less and less use of intoxicating drinks, and our ;view ;ias always been that we could get temperance and prohibition best by other means than force. But this is apart. Of course, Charleston, like the rest of the State, should be made to obey the law, but we should remember ti~at it is not the only part of the State where j t. ~, i ) j i there is violation of tfce law, nor that! the oath to uphold the law applied only to the liquor laws as they had reference to Charleston. We do not now, nor have we, charged that Gov Manning was playing politics in Charleston, because we do not know, . but we have a right to an opinion, and that opinion is that he is playing ! politics, and very poor politics from iris standpoint, and we have no protest j to enter, and we give our permission j for him to continue the game. It does i I seem a little strange, however, that he! should remove the sheriff of Kershaw because he failed to close up one blind tiger, we believe that was the reason I: given, and that he should not do the same to the sheriff of Charleston, when "we are sure there may be found more *han one blind tiger even outside the j corporate limits of the cityT And why ( ke should give tine sheriff of Charles- j ton extra constables to Ibelp him en-1 force the law. But we are making no complaint, and when the blind tigers ! are all removed from Charleston we j ) would be pleased to know, for then we J want to make a visit. We can understand wh?" Italy might, - feel driven to take up arms but what ' "druv" Rumania??Columbia Recori. Well, now, if you really know why Italy took up arms, or why any of t e nations are ngnung, ana wnai mey are fighting about, please tell us, but be ; Jkind enough"not to mention that we; displayed our ignorance by asking the ! question. We are frank to admit that! f f | c if we were called to state plainly and briefly what all this war is about we ' would iiave to pretend to be too busy j doin^ something pIrp nr exnnSA our J. 0 ^ V X inability to give the causes, and we j do not know now why Italy wants to' ^ get in unless she wants to'aelp Austria to force Russia to capitulate. Be good ! enough to explain all the causes of the war and why Italy has gone in as well. It is too "bad for Gov Manning and bis friend from Sumter to nave such a wide misunderstanding about a little appointment [ ]f tome of ihe roads could just! have the split log drag applied w ile j %. ; the season is on it would be a great thins: for t'.e road ihe rest of the seai son. I The road from Newberry to Kinards ' i is the best stretch of road in the ^ county simply because the people who live along this road and who use it; apply the split log dray. The road from Newberry to Little Mountain would be i very good if the drag was used occa- ! sionally. But avoid vhe road from the Warner place down to Wheeland j school house. If you have to go down : in that community go around by Little i i Mountain. The road from the Moun-; tain of 'Mr. J. L. Sease's is fine. i - TWO SCHOOLS. We had tne pleasure 011 Friday even-1 ing to attend tne closing exercises of i the Dominick school, in the upper part: of the county. The school was taught; the past session by Miss Nettie Wallace, a young lady of the community, and she has done good work. The enrollment is not large, but the children evidenced careful and efficient train- j i "n cr o-n/3 f'nc Avornicao o it ' wuvi vviov-o '? vi v a vi vuAt . alike to teacher and pupils. The chil-1 dren of the community take a great j interest in the school and the attendance at the closing exercises was large. We made a short talk just at the opening of the exercises endeavoring to give a word of encouragement to teacher and pupils. It is always a !, nlpaftlirp fr\r no tr? o t+cin /-? tho <->1 noi n or ?- ?? ^ ? v. w?o..~0 i exercises of this school, because the interest is good and the people seem appreciative. We could not help but wonder, as j we drove out to tihe school house, why J Wasi'i Floyd and Tom Davenport did' not use the old split log drag on this road. Just a little dragging at the rio-Vit firnQ a'AiilH nnt fKio mo/5 i?-. -fii-n-i ?t vuiu f/ut tuio iuau xu 1111^ condition, but on Friday it was almost i impassable, except at great risk of life | and limb, and machine as well, but we j went and we came, and the machine is still whole. But, boys, get busy and drag t'":is road. You have the teams and the help, and it will take only a brief period of your time. On Saturday morning we drove down to Wheeland. We i>.ad been promising our friend Mrs. Ed Sease to come to Wi:eeland for a long time, and we were pleased to have the opportunity, 1 is school has been taught for two sessions by Miss Edna Baldwin, and she has been elected for another year, and from what we heard tfne people have done well to secure her services. She has done a good work in that cornmu-1 nity and there is more to do. She is j an excellent teacher and then she j tfl.kpc: an intprpct in all that nortaiiic I to the progress of the community. During the past year this school has made wonderful progress. An addition has been put to the building and it makes a nice auditorium and gives two rooms. A four mill tax ?as been voted and another year two teachers ! will be employed. A compulsory school j V* r\ r. V\ A J ^ I titttiiuauv_c iias uccu vuieu IjiiO { grounds are ideal and beautiful. During the morning the children j held the boards with tne excellent pr<^ j gram which had been arranged and! they acquitted themselves proud. After a sumptuous picnic dinner,"the ! people reassembled in the school house | and a short talk was made by Mr. j Granville Wyche who then introduced! (Mr. E. H..Aull, wuo spoke briefly on' matters pertaining to schools and, education. He was followed by Dr. C. j T. Wyche and Rev. John J. Long. Mr. T. M. Mills was present and assisted i the teacher in t'-e exercises of the! morning and afternoon. Miss Sadie V. Goggans and Miss Willie Mae Wise,; supervising teacher and tomato club' agent, respectively, were also present. Miss Goggans spoke briefly to the school. If you should want to go to Wheeland, we would advise you to go by Little Mountain. The road from the Warner place to Wheeland is almost no road at all, while the road around by the Mountain is fine. We enjoyed very much both the above occasions. It is always a pleas ure for us to get out among the people, of tlhe county, especially if there is a scuooi entertainment on hand. ?o? While down in that community we paid a brief visit to (Mr. J. L. Sease, t who lives near the school house. He had been quite sick a short time ago, b^t we were pleased to find him much improved and quite cheerful and, de- j spite his advanced age, his minu was | clear. AYe told us if he lived until next Saturday week he would be 91 years old. We hope ne may live many more years. ( AN MAIL MONEY TO POSTAL RANKS ! Alter July First Accounts May He Opened by Any Persons Over Ten Years Old. The postoffice department has just announced an extension of the postal oo 1-in o-o noTil.* cvetpm whif'h will npr wuii^ x mil every person in the United States,' I over 10 years of age, to open an account after July 1. Tnis extension oi the service will be made possible by allowing persons living in sparsely settled communities to open accounts j by mail. The l-ird assistant postmas-! ter general, who has entire charge of I the postal savings branch of the postoffice department, has been so imnresspri hv anneal from all over the i country to open additional postal sav- i ings- banks that some weeks ago 'he took up the task of working out a plan for extending the system. Under the plan adopted by the postmaster general for opening accounts by mail an intending depositor, residing where t'.ere is no regularly designated postal savings bank, will apply to his local postmaster who will see that necessary identification data is prepared and forwarded to a near by postoffice authorized to accept deposits. The intending depositor will then be given permission to forward his first and subsequent deposits by money order or registered mail direct to the postmaster at the banking point, for which receipts or certificates will be issued. He may withdraw all or any part of his postal savings by mail and on demand together with any interest that may be due him. The new leaflet points out that any | person ten years old or over may open an account in his or her own name; i that an account may be opened by a I married woman free from any control or interference by her husband; that postoffice officials are forbidden to disclose to any person, except the depositor, the amount of any deposits; that witndrawals may be made without previous notice; and that the government guarantees to repay all deposits on de-/ mand with accrued interest. The leaflet will soon be printed in ! 22 foreign languages for distribution , through the local postoffices. The for- ! eign-born citizen has taken very kindly to postal savings, and literature in his own language will be of great assistance to him. In a recent article. Postmaster Gen- I eral Burleson commented on the for- j eign-born depositor as follows: i "Upwards of 500,000 depositors now i have accounts in the postal savings ' system and tl:ey represent every nationality on the earth. They also represent almost every known occupation ? professional men, theatrical people, mechanics, laborers, fishermen, pack peddlers, etc. But the majority are wage-earners, and of this class the foreign born largely predominate. A census of depositors taken by the postoffice department shows that approximately 40 per cent, of the depositors are fo: eign-born citizens and t':ey own more Than 50 per cent, of the deposits ?spier ."id evidence of the confidence of our m rvly acquired citizens in the ability and good faith of their adopt ed country o fulfill its obligations. "There is another reason which led immi?ra]:is, unfamiliar with our language and business methods, to' turn to the government to safeguard their humble savings, and t!.:at reason is the disastrous experiences many of them have had by the failures of, bogus 'prirota Hon Ir-O r\ flR nnr Ari V\*? c* A 1 ~ ' uauno uiuvti t;u U> ? v? illUJC.1 ?> VL their own togue who have preyed mercilessly upon their loneliness and credulity." | Postal savings receipts have broken all records the past year. During the eigl t months prior to April 1 there was a net gain in deposits of $19.000,-; 000, as against a gain of $8,000,000 for! + 1-.^ r- ~ ? ? + 1, ~ < -- I Liic oauitr iiiuiiLiib ui iut? j> r iK'-lOi't'. ThQusands of new accounts nave been opened and the millions made up largely of hidden savings have been turned back into the channels of trade j just at a time when there was pressing j demand for every dollar.
