The affairs of the county or the city ', or the State should be run on the same business policy that a prudent' busi- j ness man would conduct his own pri- j ivate business. j Newberry county is now out of. - -A 1 ^ TY?QOt ! money ana win no? na\e au> the ordinary expenses of the county j government until after the adjourn-J ment of the next session of the legis-! lature. That is net good business management. It is just as easy for the county to run on a cash basis as it is to try to run it without money. The ex- j penses have to be met some time or,1 other and the money must come outj of the taxpayer, and why force him to pay interest and then nave the debt to pay sooner or later. Some years ago an act was passed vroviding for the appropriation ol 11 money for each'department, so that it j night be known just what each cost | 11 "? ?1 crt rcc Allt t1 ana wutjn iue muucj vw v?? < can no longer be any payments made. The theory is all right. It is a good business start. But it is not good business to appropriate money for the expenses of any department and make no provision to meet the appropriation. . An examination of the last published * 11 ?? Trill report 01 me couui,y aupcuwui , show the appropriation, and it will | show that there is a balance on hand, | 11 when as a matter of fact the county j has no money. I Why not make the levy sufficient to meet the appropriation and stop borrowing money from year j j to year and increasing the debt of the!. county every year. The people will i j have to pay the debt some time or oth- ] er and it is not good business judg- ( ment to run the county on a credit i any more than it is for a private individual. In fact, there is not as much , reason,.and in fact further, there is no < reason or good judgment in so doing | ] at all. Because the county should not; i' have to run on a credit. And it does'. not fool tbe people into the belief that .1 -taxes are not increased or that they | are reduced, because the people know j they have to pay the bill some time,! ! and if the money is borrowed the interest is to pay and if the work for ; the county has to be done on a credit;, it costs more to have it done. The delegation should provide in the j; 1 ? v:n ~ si{.art + 1 curv tft mPPl I SUpPlJ Ulli d SUUlCitUt ? J tv -? V,. the appropriations and if they do not then they should reduce the appropri- j ations. The total appropriation made by the i delegation in the last supply bill foots up $45,000. Just how they expected to ; meet that appropriation with a levy of, 3% mills we would he pleased to havej; them figure out. The total taxable j property is about seven million, and ; i 3*4 mills will just about raise enough j money to pay back the money bor- j rowed. Then there is one mill for j roads,which would only give $7,000, and | suppose the fines and commutation tax . amount to $3,000, which they will not, the appropriation is still some $10,000 mnrp than thp amount raised bv the present levy. We invite any of our friends to contribute short articles to the Fiftieth Anniversary edition. Make them short i I and crisp. If we have not asked you i personally we will appreciate your in-' teres* and a short article on any sub- ; ject that may appeal to you. For in- J stance we had overlooked the fact that our good friend Hugh Wilson of Abbeville, had made his start on a New-j Vr berry newspaper, and when he read! our announcement on his 77th birthday he sat down and wrote us a very interesting communication, which we appreciate more than we can express and which \vj ere sure our readers will ap-! t preciate. We would be pleased tg havo ' ; other friends do likewise. We have asked Dr. R. H. Land of) iiimict'j f'n-r a cVinrf Vii?Tnrir*?1 nrtir-lo UOUl i Vi V M V* 4VV^? %.w v*?^* v r Dr. Land lived in Newberry before the war and at one time did work on one j of the immediate predecessors of :The j Herald and News. We are sure his j contribution will be valuable. Please 1 i let us have your articles, however, just as soon as you can, as we must get them in type in order to get the edition cut on schedule. 11^ We missed some of our down mail 1 ! on Monday night. We were a little; late in getting to press on account of j several ads coming in late, and we j have never turned one away. We will i have to ask our friends to favor us by: getting their copy in early, it the! young man who dispatches the mail at i the postoffice had given us just ten; minutes more we couiq nave niaue a,u; of the Prosperity and Pomaria routes, | but when the hour of 8:24 came he! bundled up his tent and departed. We \ made a polite and courteous request j that he give us this ten minutes, and he ! sent word that he would give us fifteen j i minutes, but before ten minutes had elapsed he had locked up and departed. He would then have had fifteen minutes before the departure time of the train and we offered to send J the mail over to the train and decause we were offered such a proposition a couple of weeks ago?in fact, the man who carries the mail to the station regularly waited on that occa 5ion until ten minutes before the departure time of the train. But that time our contemporary was also late md?well, we are sorry wre were iate. i [n former times we have frequently < bad this courtesy extended and the | dispatching clerk always seemed to be! glad to extend the courtesy, and we appreciated it. Maybe the regulations have been changed. A little courtesy and accommodation is like bread cast upon the waters, and we ha-ve high authority for the statement that it will return after many days. INFORMATION WANTED. We have received the following letter from Mr. A. H. Kohn and we would appreciate it if any one who has the j information would furnish it to him. 1 [t mav be sent to us at Newberry or ; iirectly to Mr. A. H. Kohn, Columbia. ( Editor Herald and News: I am very anxious to learn, if pos- 1 sible, where Capt. Wm. Frederick Hou- 1 seal, one of the captains of the Revo- 1 lution, is buried. If any reader of The : Herald and News can tell me I will 1 appreciate it. 1 Yours truly. A. H. Kohn. SUCCESSFUL*!. FARMING. On account of the great strides that1 are being made in the science of | farming, it is absolutely necessary for | every man to keep in touch with the latest and best ideas, methods and suggestions that are constantly developing. Much thought and money are being spent in the development of this great industry. C6mpetition is as keen in this line of work as in the complex business life of the large cities. Sutdy, thought, experiment are essential for success. In our club of four magazines, advertised elsewhere in this paper, we have included the best and most authoritative farm publication on the market. This journal tells you of the methods of successful farmers. Tells you how others' have met and overcome /\ w? a. /\rv? _ + Vi WA11 lilC ^XAJ-LLC pi UU1C1115 luai WUliVUl, J\J u. We offer you a year's subscription to this publication and three other magazines for one cent less than the cost of iThe Herald and News alone. If you have not already sent us your subi scription, "do it now.'^. The advertisement feays the combination is $1.68, but for a few weeks we have decided to make the price for all five only $1.49. THE STATE FAIR. As announced in both issues of The | Herald and News, the Friday paper j ? was printed on Wednesday afternoon | instead of Thursday and the editor went j to the Srate fair on Thursday. We j have made it a rule for many years to 1 I spend at least one du.- at the fair. This | j year some of the boys wanted to go, i so we concluded tc close up shop for; one day we would al! 2:0. We did not intend to return until; Friday morning and so told the colored ; porter, Henry (Turner. But we could | no: secure a room in any of the hotels j and came back Thursday night. When j we came by the office we found Henry i had pasted a notice on the door which 1 1 read: "Closed on account of State Fair. Will open tomorrow at !):30." Well, that was all right, but we opene-3 before 9:30. We always like to go to the fair to *ee the people from all parts of the state. They were there this year in larger numbers than we have ever seen before. In fact that crowd was sc 1 " n-n /->/-?u1r1 r>/-\r CPA anv Oflt 5f ilicit v? sz vuuiu nut ^^^ ^ ??, and we came away having seen fewei people than at any fair, as paradox, kal as that may sound. The exhibit? were fine, especially in the farm department. The behavior at the grounds and or the streets where the crowds wer?; iammed was ideal. Every one was courteous and polite and there was nc throwing of trash and other sorts of annoyances, aud no one was seen under the influence of liquor. In fact every on1? was in a good humor and was trying to make every one else feel / fnn.l On :];p trains returning at night w w _ the behavior was also ideal. The street parade in Columbia jvas the bcl we have ever seen. It cost a ?neat f'eai of money to get up some ot the tii?-pl3ys, but it was a fine advertisement of the city. Jt was a gTeat fair and we are glad we went and feel better ior naving closed the shop for one day and going to mingle with South Carolinians from other sections of the State. We suppose the usual amount of politics was talked and slates made by those interested in that sort of game, but we heard none of it for the reason that we were not leaking for that sort of thing and we saw very few of the politicians. !W<e did not even see the r\r o nrl not look for him. 5V ?Ci JUVi , UAivt M v V.-V* We understand that he was at the foot ball game. Then we have heen told by others who were at the fair that there was an unusual amount of drinking, and Lhat they saw more men under the influence of liquor than at former gatn srings of this kind. And then we nave heard that there was open betting on the loot ball "game right in the presence of the go.-ernor of the State. We So not know about this because w'e did not attend the game and we were in the grounds while the game was going on. We do not know anything about the game of foot ball and do pot approve it from what we do know. We notice that Ed De Camp of the Gaffney Ledger, who has been in the habit of conducting contests for subscriptions, or rather having some one else to conduct the contest, has announced that he will have no more contests. We have reached the same conclusion. We so announced not long ago, and just the other day one of these contest managers came along and alm l "Knf most persuaded us mio auuiuci, vu.<. we have been doing a little figuring frcm the publisher's viewpoint and we have reached the conclusion that these contests do not pay. By the time you get through paying for prizes and commissions you have very little left for the subscription. We have decided to give the benefit to each subscriber rather than to one or two in prizes and to the contest manager. Therefore we offered to give each subscriber 20 per cent if he paid by a certain time. Now we are offering to give each subscriber about 14 per cent if he pay by the 20th of this month, or in plain figures to give iyou s vpar's subscription for only $1.31. Do not wait until the limit for this price, is out, but send your subscription in today. Get the best newspaper we can make. It may not be the best or next to the best, but you may rest assured it will always be the best we can make under the circumstances and every one will be given a fair deal. Then we have arranged to give you ""lienrihar snmp fltllfT maSTa Ccll^ll w zines and periodicals that are worth many times the price we ask. In addition to those already announced we have made arrangements with ihe Progressive Farmer to send that publication the Housewife and The Herald and Xews for the low price of *1.0S for a whole year. The ProVovmr.K iV n /Inllar nonw and wi rin c i aiiiivi 10 cl u^nui one of the be-t and most up to the minute farmer's papers for this section that is published. Three papers worth $3.00 of any man's money, all for the low price of only $1.98. Just think o? it. Do not delay, but join the procession today. s Somehow we just can't help making a good newspaper. It comes just as natural as falling off a log into the water. I ,! Now is the time to send in your suu' i j seription to The Herald and News, rho i eldest newspaper in this section of the , j State. It is going to celebrate it? iif> : tictn anniversarv this vear and thii i month. A good time to subscribe arid i ' also a good time >o advertise. APPALACHIAN HIGHWAY I Work Completed in \ewberrv From 1 Whitmire to Newberry?Union : Commenced at County Line. i \ , j Work is about completed on the . | Newberry end of Appalachian highwey from Wliitmire to Xewberry. The end from Xewberry to the Lexington 1 line is the same as the Piedmont i i highway and while a little work and [ dragging and smoothing would not in' jure this end, still it is in fairly good I condition. ! The section from Newberry to Whitmire, we are told, is in good shape, i but will need pretty constant atten| tion until the road settles and becomes ! hard, which will be not before next | spring, but if the people wno live alon? ; the way and those who travel it will j co-operate with Supervisor Sample, as i we are sure they will, thi? will soon be i a fine roadway. Mr. Sample ^nd the I peonle along the wav are -'o be co^.sratulated upon the interest tbev took ard on the results accomplished for a good road. On the Union side we understand that the work has been started at the j Newberry line and that the Union [ people have started out to make a thirj ty-foot roadway and are taking up big : trees where necessary and straight j ending out the road. This i? the way i to do the work and wre hope that the Union people will carry this plan out all the way through the county. It will be an inspiration to Newberry by another year to go and do likewise. | The following were appointed by | Governor Manning as delegates from j Newberry county to the Atlantic Deep{ er Waterways association to be held 1 in Savannah November 9 fo 12: Messrs | i \T T.
