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

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.

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

We want you to remain with us, but the;
time now is short in which you have;

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

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 <

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"

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.

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

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

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.

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. '
