Jte jjerolii and Jess. jEatered at the Postoffice at New#mtt. S. C. as 2nd class matter. ?. H. AULL, EDITOR. Friday, February 4, 1916. We judged from Governor Manning's j nnnwi +r> tho lpeislature a,nd all that has been said in reference to the asy-1 lum that there had been a great saving: in the maintenance of tne institution, but we notice from the appropriation bill that the expenses are greater than they were before and greater this year than last year, and greater last year than tne year before and ihe number of patients is about the same. Certainly the appropriation bill does not show any material reduction in the amount appropriated for maintenance, j A few years ago we visited tne institution at Morganton, X. "C., and the cost for maintenance there was about $150 to $160 per year per patient, and if we read the figures correctly the cost in this state is something over $200 per patient per annum. But whatever is necessary for the proper and humane care or tne pauenis . should be given. The little disturbance down in Charleston over the election in that > * -3 city cost the state about ten tnousanu dollars, so Governor Manning says, and he borrowed the money to pay the bills and asks the legislature to reimburse the banks. Of course this will have to be paid. > The Herald and Xews publishes in " this issue the Newberry county supply 'bill as introduced in the legislature by the Newberry delegation, and, of course, as it will he enacted into law unless changed or amended by the delegation. It will be seen from an examination of the appropriations made that the total is something over $45,000 and the levy is only three and one-half mills. This levy will raise about $25,000. The ~fViQ fin.?c iinri 1 i COmniUUiUUU UXA auu iuv, uuvu ___ ? ceases will scarcely amount to $5,000, but suppose they do, that will give only $30,000, an amount some $15,000 short of the amount appropriated. The Herald and News man never , claimed to be much of a business man, but we can't exactly figure out just how it i6 expected to meet an appro priation of $45,000 with, an income of $30,000. We would be glad to see the members of the delegation cipher it out. Borrow money, we suppose, is the solution, but it will have to be paid some time or other and the people will have to pay it, and the interest as well. That may be good business, but it does not appeal to us as good business for a county to raisa less revenue f than it takes to run the business of the county. - le longer t'nis policy is pursued the bigger the debt will get. The county is now without money and running on a credit. i ?? The Record publishes a statement from a prominent lawyer quoting the state constitution on the subject of j holding more than one office. He also quotes some of the opinions of the attorney general's office on the subject. The English language could not be plainer than that provision of the con stitution in regard to members of the Icxrio/lotnTii TiAr oniiM it he* marie mflrp \s9 UVi V/V *V W W --- ? - W . <. comprehensive, but what's the difference? The members of the legislature pay absolutely no attention to it, and the people approve their course by continuing to elect them. Ho 'nades with the constitution when it suite their convenience to let it go there. But the public conscience is getting aroused. It may be a small thing, but the violation of the oath of office in i small things is just as much wrong j as in large things. The day of reckon- \ ing will come. The governor and ITni-1 ted States sena'oi and senators and representative? pay no heed to this provision of the constitution. But we hear in loud acclaim that this is a law i and order administration.

The Herald and News held over a number oMocal matters from the last itsue which we had, in order to make room" for the synopsis of the appropriation bill.

Col. John K. Au 11 of Columbia, who is secretary to the state warehouse; commissioner, Hon. John L. McLaurin, i said this morning before returning to his home, that he felt that he expressed the sentiment of every mem-1 ber of Newberry lodge when he repeat-I ed what was said by Mr. Fred H. Dom inick at the meeting last night, that; 1 they appreciated sincerely the cordial i reception and royal entertainment by (4 the members of Greenwood lodge and the citizens of Greenwood. I "Greenwood knows how to do things like this." he said. "She is not only one of the most progressive towns in the State, but she has a reputation _ which she ably sustained last night for gracious hospitality." i The ritual lesson by Mr. Aull was one of t'ne most impressive and beautiful parts of the ceremony last night and the parts taken by Messrs. Harry 1 W. Dominick, C. Forrest Summer and' E. H. Aull were ably sustained. J Greenwood is a good town and a li'V-e and progressive town. The vis-: iting Elks were royally entertained by the men of Greenwood and the town has the air of prosperity about; it and there are evidences of that spirit which makes a good town. (The j people talk Greenwood and have some-1 t'ning good to say about the place and ' the people. You never hear <them say I t or hint anything but what is to the i advantage of the community and the people who live there. /There are two handsome office buildings in the city, wit'n electric elevau/r and steam heat and all the conven- j iences of a modern office building,) something that Newberry greatly j needs. We have often wondered why | some of our men who have money did . not get together and build a modern office building in this town of New-1 berry. It would pay as an investment and be worth more as an asset for; the community than as an investment; and would pay good dividends in that! way. Then Greenwood has one of the best hotels in the Sojith and it is run right| up to the minute, and it is a great asset for the town and keep6 people [ talking nice things about Greenwood, j In fact the hotel has done more to put Greenwood on the map than any other one thing that the town has' *n-er done. There is co-operation in the town and in fact that seems to be the slo-, ^an. The key note of the remarks of, Mr. Tillman is assuming the duties1 of head of the new lodge of Elks em- j r'nasized that slogan?co-operation? as an essential for the soiccess of the lodge. It is the 6logan "that spells success for any community. The new lodge is composed of good j men and true ami it is obliged to sue-! ceed. especially with the slogan of co-operation. The Newberry boys ap preciate the kindly treatment they re-; ceived and will ever look with inter-, est at the success of the Greenwood lodge. All cur boys thoroughly en-1 joyed their trip to Greenwood. I >0. l Xownsnjp convention. i The Interdenominational Sunday School convention of No. 1 township was held last Friday night in the Aveleight Presbyterian church wit'a Mr. J John H. "Wicker, township chairman,; presiding. 'Aill the Sunday schools of the township were represented except the following: Mission church, A. R. P.; j F.hpnezp.r Methodist: Maver Memorial, Summer Memorial, Lut'neran, and 'St. j Luke's, Episcopal. The subjects arranged on the pro-; gram for the meeting were discussed with interest. j In view of the absence of delegates i from some of the schools of .he town ship it was unanimously decided to: hold another township meeting before the state convention in Charleston in ).\luy, in order t'nat all the schools may; be represented, thus conforming to' one of the requirements to attain to the "gold star'' county, ffhe selection of the time and place was left to the ; executive committee.
