' - ? -N ? f C We notice irom ine pupcis umi mu week is national pay up week. We regreat that we dod not think to call it to your attention in Tuesday's paper, but there are still two days remaining and you can pay for The Harald and News either one of those days, and we will take time to write you the receipt, and guarantee that we will take the money and pay some one else. We will not put it in our stocking and hide it awv.y. And one dollar will pay a whole year for the paper. This opportunity will not last much longer. Some one has said that there are only two words in the vocabulary of opportunity and they are how and now. You know how to pay. Then do it now. \\'e just want to remind you that next Wednesday is firct rl.iv ot March, and the last day to get The Herald and News for a whole year for only one dollar Xot the best newspaper in South Carolina, but the best we can make under all the circumstances and surroundings. A TRIP TO THE COUNTRY. You may talk about your square meal towns as much as you please, but the place to get square meals is in the iiirmt VawKpttw where I'UUli U V 1 UUliU CICV/wtb. - all the good housewives know so well how to prepare them. I wish I could have had with me on Sunday some of those city reporters who have been writing so much about the city of square meals. I would have demonstrated tc them what is really a square meal, anc one that satisfies^ I had two of them on Sunday. And I am indebted to Dr Harms for this great privilege, in thai he asked me if I would not like to gc to the country with him. It does nol " * ? ? * .>-1 n +/-w rrrv f r taKe an lnvuauuu gti -v. the country in Newberry county. All it takes is a bare suggestion, and I am on the spot. You know that Newberry is the best county in the State anyway, and it has the fines!" housekeep* ers and the best cooks. These Dutch people want you to come to see them, ii they like you, and they want you to eat with them, and they know how to prepare it and to serve it. Dr. Harms told me we were to go to Pomaria, but it turned out that the itinerary included St. Matthews, down on Broad river, and that suited me exactly, because that is a section of the country I have been planning to visit for a long time. To tell the truth, I had never ben right in that community and had never seen Glymphville. I had nevr been beyond Mt. Pleasant further than the home of Mr. Jenk Smith, an J Dr. Hentz phoned that it would be a better road around by Mt. Pleasant. So we decided to take that route. We left Newberry a quarter to teno'clock and drove up to St. Matthews church a few minutes before n o'clock, a distance of about 20 miles. The Appalachian highway out to the Gibson place is fine, and only shows what can be done by a little cooperation and self help. From there on to the Columbia road beyond Mt. Pleasant the road is not so good, for the lack of the usi of the split log drag mainly. The Columbia road on down to Mr. J. S. J. Suber's place is fairly good, and the road from there on down to the Col. Dickert's place and for two miles beyond is the best piece of road in Newberry county. It only shows the result of good work. It looks like I imagine some of those old Roman roads look. It was built a good many years ago - -1 If- 117 A TT wnen ->ir. vv. .s\. nemz was uvci^cci of that section. Pie built a good road then and with very little repair it is a good road yet. The chain gang did do some work on it about a year ago. But it is smooth and 'hard and a pleasure it is to drive over it. This section of the county they s-v fels the effect of the damage done by the building of the big Parr Shoals dam. But it does look like a misfortunte to see a great big old Colonial home like that of Col. Dickers turned over to f the negroes. It is a grand old place.! S And Mr. Suber has one like unto it. I i St. Matthews church seems a bit out; of the way. and a long way from the j | membership, so far as I could judge j from those who were there. But from the number of children and young folk if it-ill vw .f Ko lr?rior Kpforp fhiQ will bf* i I a strong church. It was swept entire- j ly away, that is the building, in the cy- j j clone of 1884. Sot a piece of the timber left, raised completely to the ground. The Bible was blown down to the rive/ some two miles away, and strange to say not a leaf was torn or was it in the slightest degree injured. I saw the same Bible there on the desk on last Sunday. The silver communion service was also carried away by the wind an4 the plate has a hole through the centre I made by some sharp instrument, but it , was all found and replaced in the church with no other injury. The buildin..": of course has been replaced. This church is now served by Rev. S. j C. Balentine along with Bethlehem and j I rbp rhurch at Pomaria, and the work I is prospering under his care. Judge \Y. Frank Suber is the superintendent of the Sunday school. Dr. Harms preached a fine sermon, as he always does, and at the conclusion presented the claims of Newberry college in a very strong and telling manner, and I am su/e if he could only get before the people as he did Sunday morning and Sunday evening \t would not belong before all the money the college needs1 would be forthcoming, because the peonlp. and the Lutheran people especially, , could not refuse to respond to the ap, peal which he made at both services. > Without thecollege he said there would [ be no church. I wonder if the Lui therans had ever thought of that. It is , true. The college is necssary to the : very existence of the Lutheran church. > If the pastors could be made to realize : that by helping the college they were ) helping their own work and the growth I of the church, they would all be glad to have Dr. Harms come and talk college to their people, and they would go ' ahead and raise the money the college I neds without thenecessity ofany one presenting the cause. And the amount J the college is asking is not over twentyfive cents per member. In fact the church should average for the support of the college at least one dollar per member. That would raise about $14,000 a year, and then the college could go ahead and do even greater things than it is now doing. I .... But talking about square meais we had one at Dr. E. O. Hentz's where we had dinner, and then again that night at Prof. B. MM. Setzler's we had another And we enjoyed both of them and left no cause for complaint on the part of the good housewives that we did not eatanything, and th e appetite of Dr. Harms was also normal. And more invitations to take dinner and spend the night, and we held all of them in re serve lor luture reierence. anu we aic: going again soon. I have ben promising Will Folk for a long time to come down to his house and go to St. Matthews, and I am going to make that promise good yet. These are all good people, but as I have already said, that is the rule in Xewberrv county. The Lutherans ai Peruana have a J neat church and there is much interes/ in church work. We drove home after the service and t-he road is good and the night was ideal. In fact, the whole trip was most delightful, and I hope profitable, especially to the cause of Newberry college, as I believe it was. I hope ' - it ?:11 I max ut. x'iarms ^vjh in<ti\.c o. iuggtsnun i for another trip very soon,. and if the weather is anything like it was last Sunday the suggestion is ail that is necessary, for if III is in running order I will certainly burn just a little gasoline even at 28 cents the gallon. E. H. A. THE TIME IS SHORT. Only a few days more remain in -f '"Ft, ^ TJ~?U wnicn ine price oj xuc nciam miu News will remain at $1.00 for a whole year and two dollars for two whole years. A great many of our friends i have beetled our appeal and responded,' 1 not only with the money but with words j . of iiood cheer and encouragement. We \ c appreciate these as wel as the money, j ;i There are manv \et to come. We are i I * * 1 making no threat, but all who do not get J into the I'jiO class during the time the, low price sale is on, will be taken from 4 membershiu in our family. We shall I ! regret exceedingly to part with you, but "i we can afford to have only those members who arc willing to bear their pro- : portionate share of the cost of living j Our mailing galley was corrected up to j 1 last Friday, and all who had paid up to that time have been credited. If you 1 have paid since, the credit does not appear on the label. Examine your label and see how the matter stands with you, and if it is not 16 written after your name please see to it that the dol- 1 lar is sent before the first of March.! We want you to remain with us, but the; time now is short in which you have; ' " I rhe advantnue of the low rate. We! ? have been tair to all. This is going to bean interesting' year, j and you will want to know what is going on, and The Herald and News will tell you about it and give you both sides of any contest. We may not print the I i c --ii- 1: i_.i. uesi paper m oouui ^around, uui ?c will print the best we can. and give you the news fair and straight and unbiased and take such position on public matters as seems right and proper to the editor, and give the other fellow the i right to differ, or to think as he pleases, i without the uggestions that heis a fool and not as good a citizen as we are. 1 f that "Joker"' in the appropriation bill will prevent the spending of a $100,000.00 on the asylum property in Columbia it will be a good little "Joker" ; for the taxpayers of South Carolina. The State needs to have a modern asylum for the unfortunates, but the money spent on permanent improvements should be spent on the property at State Park in the country where the State owns the finest site for an asylum of any State in the union. And the spending of $100,000.00 a year on the development there in five years would give this State the finest asylum of any ( State in the union. None of them has any better or premier or more desirable site for such an institution than the one owned by South Carolina, and it is : a waste of money to put up permanent buildings in the city when the State i owns this fine country place, it is a great pity that petty politics should stop this development. - A card from Geo. Magill 01 Greenwood says that he is going to be^rn the ; race for solicitor from this circuit regardless of who else may enter or not < enter. His running is not conditioned upon any one else. ( FARMERS' EXCHANGE. , The Herald and News will conduct a ( farmers' exchange column. It will be under the charge and direction of Mr. ( T M. Mills, the county demonstration ] agent, and Miss Willie Mae Wise, in charge of the home economics. It will < ^ l appear each Friday. We had told Mr. Mills and IMiss Wise that we would run it on Tuesday, but we find that it will < be more convenient to handle on Fri'li" ' \i-ill (TAnrillv nonpar on nnorp . XL mi I v.. ^?5>- j two. If you have anything that will be j , of intcerest to your neighbor, pass it on j ( through Mr. Mills and Miss Wise to your neighbor through the columns of The ( Herald and News. If you have tried t something that has been helpful and f profitable to yourself, pass it in to some one else. Send your wants and your communications either to Mr. Mills or ( Miss Wise. We hope to make this a s very interesting and a very profitable 1 department to our farmer friends. But ' it can only be made such by their cooperation and help, and they can gi\e c this by using this column and the way I to use it is to let your wants be known ( as indicated. And then read the col- * umn every Friday. s The Press and Banner is making a fight for the abolition of the chain gang for Abbeville county. The Press and r Banner estimates that the convicts cost the county $i,ooo a year each or about four dollars a day each. If that be c true then it would be cheaper for Ab- t _ < *7" i ie\:iV t'? ir.akc r >a-l> with hired laboi.'j \e ?' n -t kn.-.u what the cost is in this! >ur:y. Nut we have no idea that it is :iiy amount near what the Press and j Janr.er ~a\> it is in Abbeville. ? 11 looks to us that the law regulating' :il)( If 111 tile Ci Itr< m rnillc t-iL-^c nt-nr i i Tom the individual who works in the uili the right to contract for himself.; iVe should think that those who work n tht mills would resent any such ef-: fort to take awav from them the right : :o contract for themselves. ?: If the legislature should undertake to regulate the hours of labor of the coun:ry newspaper editor to sixty a week he kVouid have to increase his income considerably so as to secure extra help, >r his work would never be done. We labor a: least eighty hours a week and then our work is nevr done and yet Hnne how we manage to grow fat at I the work and have pretty good health. _ ! After these rains and before it is dry L-ni'tigh I'i plow would be a line lime to .!.-e tile split log drag, it will take very t tittle time and it is a great thing fur i [he roads. Try it. j * - i t I.UUJJUW The Charlotte Observer relates the 1 story of the building of a road in Guilford county, X. that cost $11,000 a mile. This is respectfully referred to . . i 1 the esteemed Abbeville Press and Ban- j ner. We should think that eleven of i those convicts on the Abbeville chain i gang might be able to build at least one mile of road a year, and it would be some consolation to our contemporary to know that the Guilford county people did not consider that cost extravai gant. J i The Darlington paper or correspond- , ent from there announces that the city of Darlington has been able to borrow , $25,000 for the town of Darlington at j a rate of 4 per cent and thinks that a J very remarkable feat for a town of that; I size. It is, speaking comparatively, but' the county of Newberry has been able to borrow $31,000 at a rate of 3.90 per cent. How does that strike you? We heard a young gentleman remark the other day that the two things most needed today to make this country pros- j pcr'ous. were the split log drag and cheaper money. That man is a philoso- [ pher. He knows what he is talking about, and they are both coming and | coming very soon. If the recent legislature had really wanted to do some-| i thing worth while, and of lasting benefit and good to the people who need it, j they could have made the rate six per j cent for money. ! We would advise everv owner and I driver of an automobile and motorcycle to read the ordinance adopted by coun- t :il and printed in this issue of The i Herald and News. It is a good or-1 " i Jmance if it is just observed. .'The trou- ! ble will be to have the drivers of motor vehicles observe the law. Its observance may save some bad accident.
