At Strati) and Jots. Entered at the Postcffice at Newtony, S. C., as 2nd class matter. E. H. AULL, EDITOR. Friday, October 3, 1915. PROSPERITY. We direct the reader's attention to l*ige three of this issue of The Herald end News. It contains the advertisement of twenty-nine business firms of this progressive town. They invite the public to come to their city and be convinced that they have just what you want and that they will treat you right when you come. They have what you 6 need and want and will sell it to you at a very reasonable profit. Practically every business firm is represented in this page. If you want to sell chickens and eggs and butter they will buy it from you at the best ?rice that the market aftords. If you want to sell cotton and cotton seed they will buy that at the top of the market. Then if you want to buy clothes or-hardware or millinery or shoe? or fertilizer they will sell you that. On this page you will find the names of the firms that handle these various lines. Then there is medicine) and drugs?:but tie people down that j way don't have much use for these things?but if you do, you want to | know where to get them. Read this page and be convinced. Then sometimes the people down that way want |o borrow a little money. iThere are the banks ready and willing to let l?ou have it and at a reasonable rate 'X)f interest and on such time as will satisfy. And then all the people down that way have money to keep and the best place to keep it is in the banks, and the bank6 of the town are safe and will take pleasure in caring for -- your deposits, so that all you have to do when you want to buy The Herald and News?and everybody wants it? is to sit down and take your pen in iand and write a check payable to The Herald and iNews for $1.19?provided you do it before the 15th of October? and you buy it for one wnoie year o: tweLve months. After that date it will cost you more. And then you get the news. Come right along now and let us all he happy. And the State warehouse will take care of your cotton if you don't want to sell. Mr. Clarence Poe, editor of the Progressive Farmer, writes a long article advising the farmer to hold his cottrti-. fru- 19 /lontc thA rmiinri and sives his reasons for the advice. The Herald and News published the article in last issue and we ask all the farmers and merchants and bankers who have not read it to do so. It is worth your while. Co-operation is what is needed "just now. It is what The Herald and News has been preaching all the fall. It is what will save the country of which we are part. It looks now as if cotton is going to 12 cents pretty soon. it is already aDove iu cents. Since the above was written cotton lias gotten to the 12 cents mark and will be there pretty soon. The merchant who does not advertise when times are good, because "he \ don't need to," and does not advertise when times are bad, because "their ain't no use," is just as smart as the Arkansas citizen who didn't put a roof on his house. Two of a kind ? Spartanburg Herald. That is a true saying and worthy of ell acceptation. Watch the store of the merchant who advertises judiciously and properly in the local papers and you will see who is doing the business. One of the speakers at the college opening made the statement that the merchant who did not get the spirit of the age would have to go out o? -usiness, or words to that effect. The spirit of this age is publicity, and the way for the merchant to get the righi ;;ind of publicity is to use the columns cf the local papers. And the local papers in Newberry sell their space so heap that there is no excuse for any merchant not to use freely of this ..leans of keeping his name before the ; ublic, as well as the wares he has j sell. Governor Manning wants to amend j i'.ie warehouse law so as to provide j hat managers of the warehouses in j ie state system be disinterested, par-! i.'es, neither owners of the ware-' houses or the cotton stored therein." This sounds pretty good to some people; but to us it looks like a dagger thrust at the whole business. The system as now established is being A ^ i - '7 . ? / , A w* Ar\ t A n AH An DUUI. up Oil lUfcJ IX1U ULCiKCil L IV/ wciv/n producers to build their own warehouses and become their own custodians. There is no other means of building or acquiring state warehouses, except maybe by a big state i appropriation. Then, as we see it, there Is no better custodian of the cotton than the owners thereof and the owners of the warehouse. The bonds required of these custodians make the cotton safe. It seems to us that if the producer were not allowed lo oe mieresiea m uie ?ai cm/uor either as part owner or patron, the hole thing would have to fall to the ground and the idea w-ould become a nullity. If Governor Manning is really in sympathy with the objects of the warehouse law, it seems to us that the public is entitled to additional explanations.?Ycrkvill? Enquirer. Governor Manning's speech made (about the same impression on us. It rather seemed as we read the speech that the recommendations he said he would make would he against the system. Then if he appoints all these graders and inspectors it will create another army of office holders that will not help the system. An Imitation.

I rrad this little quotation in some paper tne other dtLy. And he was a brave editor to publish such a comment or such an observation or such a criticism,, and then continue to live in the same community. I suppose there were none of those women who lived in that community, and the comment had no perI sonal and local application. But, now I really and truly, there is a great deal | of the truth in the comment, and fact ! ii, sometimes 1 think some women and | some men shoot off their mouths regardless whether there is a target in sighr, and without care of whether ^ n TVigv incf fim o V\rno HiCI C -l O VTJL UVl. lutj JC?^C 111 ^ ?. wwv* side or one of those scattering loads, and hope that it will strike somewhere, I and more frequently indifferent as to I where or what it may hit. They jusi I love to revel in the pleasure of talk| ing about 'some one, and the trouble I is that the talk is generally uncomplimentary and without regard to its truth, or even the suspicion of truth, 1: ? xir.n T ^ sometimes. wen, i recnuxi uuey <ue here for some wise and humane purpose, and some time in the far and dim and distant future it may be revealed the good purpose they are serving. They suit me all right. I like for them to talk about me, because when people cease to ^alk about me then I begin to fear that my race is run, and there is no more work for me to do here, and I am too strong % and vigorous to quit work yet. I am not writing an essay on the tongue. I have already written several very fine ones. But at a matter of fact we all do talk too many idle words. And when we shoot off our mouth with no target in sight we are talking idle words and sometimes when we think we see the target they are the most idle and mean of idle words. But the power of speech was given to us to use just like other gifts of nature, and if we abuse that power it will do us more harm than the ones wre endeavor to injure. Let us try to bridle and controi the words that we shoot from our mouths and all will be well. Have j a good target and aim well. That reminds me that I read in some j newspaper not a great while ago a j little article on "War and Newspapers" j ?I think it was the Intelligencer?in fact I am pretty sure it was the An- ! derson Intelligencer. It is pretty good and tells a pretty true story according to my observation, and I am a pretty close observer, though I never say much about it. The story ran something like this. I guess from reading ; it that someone must have been pitch - > r _ n n i ...i r "1 J ing into one -wen uienu, wnoin i wuiuu say was the editor of the Intelligencer: War and Newspaperincr. Judging from some of the hot communications Moll Glenn is printing every few days in his paper he must think by now that Gen. Sherman had never tried running a newspaper | when he made his famous remarks.? | i York News. I And you've probably noticed also. Brother o ALne, that an eakor can pcuss his q\.s scouting himself hoar=e ! ior tne good oi the community and j humanity in general?urging 011 the I peapie tiiose things that will lift us up out of bondage 01 moral depravity, ignoiance, bad government, rotten economic conditions, etc., etc?and receive rarely, ii ever, one single word of encouragement. And yet the very instant ionieone sees something in tile j paper waich he imagines does not bet i well with him?zam, bat, swash, blam, slam, swat, wham, whack reverberate^ 1 thp histv kicks on the Door editors carcass. But tlien it's all in a lifetime anyway, and when ye editor gets his "Thirty" here below and hikes off for Gloryland bright will be his crown with stars, and brighter still for having striven to do his duty in spite of odds. I notice from the papery that the Civic association is going to give a turkey supper for the benefit of the park on Friday mgni ana auernooii. Every one in town should go to thai entertainment and spend a few dollars. In fact every one in town should conj tribute a small mite to the park every week and the thing couid soon be put in fine shape. There are a few other things I wv/uld like to see the Civic association get behind. If the women determine to do a thing it is done right now. The only trouble is to get them to determine to do it. How about the cemetery ? Old Rosemont certainly needs the attention of some one. It is in a deplorable condition. And that fence! Have you seen it? If not, go along the road some time and look at it. It is a beauty. It would do credit to?well, what shall we say? Suppose you go over and see it for yourself and then drop me a post card and tell me what you think about it- And then take a drive through the beautiful driveways. There are no walkways. Why could not the -Civic association cooperate with the trustees and put the place in such condition that it would be a credit to a Christian community. Just like I said, they can do it if they only will do it. I know that there are very few women in this town who have not some very tender ties that bind them to thfs place, and I know they would all like to see it in better s:.ape. It can do those who rest there no good, but it certainly would make the living feel much better. And it would be a credit to our civilization to have the -place better cared for. ^ Q , fje It is beautiful to see the optimistic spirit which pervades the community new. Yes, I said see, for it is a fact that you can not only see it, but you can feel it and hear it. Of course you v 111 now and then hear some old ehroric grumbler talking a^out the shor4. crop and all that. Yo.. fcfiow liiere are people who would find fault and complain if they were permitted risiht now to walk the golden streets ol the New Jerusalem, and the I /.Vrxnr/, ??11/^r?OTl + Vl?nr TOO 1 1 V LIIwlii?f V\UUIL?

Some of it he will take and some of it he will not, and it is wr\!l. There is one thing he should remember, and tbat he should have iearm c- in the recent past, and that is if he wants to prosper and be independent he must fill his cribs and his tarns and his smoke houses j with com and hay and meat raised on his farm. Yes, smoke houses, I have no doubt there are young farmers in this county today who do not know what that term means from actual experience and observation. Well, the sooner they learn the better it will be for them and the country. Raise your own hog and hominy is an old saying, but very true all the same, and a mighty good slogan to adopt,. THE IDLER.

New Orleans, Sept. 29 (via Wireless Steamships, Excelsior and Creole to Mobile.)?Five persons are known to be dead, many people injured and property loss reaching into the mil lions 'has been caused lonignt uy me most severe gulf storm in the history of the city. A howling gale with a velocity of i 86 miles an hour swept the city at 6 o'clock tonight, demolishing scores of buildings, stripping the roofs from hundreds of other structures and strewing the streets with broken glass and debris. At 7:30 o'clock a rising thermometer gave evidence that the storm was subsiding, the center passing to the northwest of New Orleans. The barometer at its lowest registered 28.11, and the wind 'velocity of 8 mi!6es was the highest ever recorded here. Railroads and wire comunication with the outside world has been cut off, ami telephone, electric light and trolley service discontinued in the city. All railroads have annulled train service from Xew Orleans. Wireless communication from Xew , Orleans was interrupted by the failure , of the electric plant, but messages; were sent from the steamship Excelsion at dock here and relayed from the j steamship Creole, anchored below Xew i Orleans in the Mississipp river, to i Mobile.

FIYE 2SEGR0ES PAT DEATH PEMiLTY FOB MURDERS Joe Molky, Tom Griffin, Meek Griffin, >~els:>n Briee and John Crosby Electrocuted Wednesday. The State. / A record for legal executions in South Carolina was established yesterday when fiye negroes were put to depth ht th: Slate penitentiary for tae murder of John Q. Lewis, a Confederate veteran, f.-orri Chester county, and Prentiss Moore and Guy Rogers, two young white boys of Marlboro county. On? hour and ten minutes were required to execute the criminals. A general sigh of relief went up from executioners and prison officials alike when the five bodies, wrapped in their winding sheets, had been "stacked" on their couches in the little anteroom of the death house, which had been cod verted into a veritable morgue. Meek Griffin. Tom Griffin, John. .Cros'iv and Nelson Brice were executed for the killing of the aged Mr. Lewis, while Joe Malloy paid the penalty for the murder of the twct young Marlboro county boys. The crime for which the first four were convicted was committed April 24, 1913. The Marlboro county crime was committed Thanksgiving day, 1911 The negroes did not confess. Three died protesting their innocence. The remaining two had nothing to add to 'that already said," which was an affirmatfon of previous denial of guilt. / ^ *
